In the decades since her ascension to princesshood, Twilight Sparkle has managed to overcome every challenge put before her, both external and internal, on the path to becoming the leader she was meant to be. For how far she may have come though, one part of her position has remained a mystery. Even as one of them, alicorns as a race are a complete unknown. Were they truly immortal? Where had they even come from? Why are there only two natural alicorns in Equestria today?
An innocent Hearth's Warming gift may hide a way to find the answers. As Twilight and Spike follow the trail into ancient Equestrian history, they may find the lasting legacy of the alicorn race, truths hidden by those closest to them for millienia and a world in danger of having its future erased by its past.
Hey everyone! Welcome to what I'm considering the last regular piece before I start working on the finale of this complicated web of stories I've weaved. New chapters will go up every two days and I'm glad to say I feel back on form. Whether you're checking my stuff out for the first time or have kept an eye on me for the past two years, I hope you enjoy!
Part of the Quickverse. No other stories are required to read, though references are made to the events of Task Force Harmony, Secrets of the Heart and Fractured Crystals with varying degrees of spoilers.

Aww, nerds,
8502785 Yeah, Twilight Velvet is pretty much the only direct member of Twilight's family who hasn't been a nerd at some point. Of course, said family includes three of the most powerful magic users alive (four by marriage) so, saying that to their faces generally isn't a good idea.
Don't let Daring Do find out about any of this. She'll be all, "that belongs in a museum!"
8515192 Hmmm. I actually had designs on a Daring Do story at some point in the future and you may have just given me an extra layer of story to work with. Obviously I'll credit you for the idea but, thanks! Glad you're enjoying it too!
Huh, so Daybreaker has a momma-bear mode.
8518702 Fun as that'd be to imagine, this was more Celestia's momma-bear mode pushing her over the edge. Plus...This technically isn't Daybreaker.
Good story! Just need more attention!
8522384 Story of my life there. Glad you enjoyed it!
Lots of neat lore in this story. You should consider adding it to the Mythopoeia Society group.
8812292 Thanks! I went all out with the lore for this one so, glad to see it was liked. I'll give the group a look.
A lot happened here and it was heavy.
I enjoyed it, however it was too quick to end.
9383616 Admittedly those are a notable strength and weakness of my writing style. Packing a lot into a relatively small word count, yet having no idea how to actually end it. I'm glad you enjoyed it at least.
I enjoyed this story immensely. Easily one of my favorites.
10362397 I'm really glad to hear it. Thank you!
Too many "though"-s.
Well, this is interesting.
Also the writing is solid! The story is easy to read!
Must categorise it!.. But as what?..
10579296 Yeah, that's something I've always struggled with in my writing. Fixed that up.
10579613 Glad you liked it overall
If I was to choose a category, I'd probably go for 'May have wasted a good plot', Though I'm biased against my own work of course.

? That bookshelf is for stories, where the author has done nothing for the plot to meet possible expectations! Some stories imply a good plot, yet provide nothing of a sort!
Goodness, why
Yours, however, does provide a plot -- though how good, many may argue. I think, it's decent.
Never fear! There should be a good bookshelf for a good story!
Excellent story keep up the good work and I give this story a 10 out of 20
10805617 Yeah that's a fair score, probably higher than I would have given it. Thanks for giving it a look and glad you enjoyed.
10807118
I'm going to help you make more stores then I will give you a excellent score
