This story is a sequel to Luminescence

Princess Celestia awakens in the very first hours of dawn to tap deep into her magical reserves and bring the ponies of Equestria a new day. She does this every morning, every day of her life.

However, she does so every morning with a smile on her face. One as warm and radiant as the sun itself.

This story is standalone. You do not need to read the prequel first.
