When Celestia realized the calamity and chaos that would come to Equestria and that she would need somepony to take her place, she began to look for an apprentice. Eventually, this led to her tutelage of Twilight Sparkle, but she was not Celestia's first apprentice. This is the story of Roberta mi Amore, and how she became The Lady mi Amore Cadenza, heir to Celestia, and the first sorceress to become an alicorn in over a thousand years.

In the same universe as Camaraderie is Sorcery, to be read between the first and second seasons (after Chapter 1:27.4).
