Celestia has been ruling from her throne for centuries. Her rule has been met with applause, with happiness from all corners. All corners, but the one that lies deep within the land. Celestia's dirty little secret will hopefully be shown to the ponies who live under her, and a new age will dawn. An age of freedom. An age for ponies to live for them selves.

This little shot was written off of the head cannon of mine that helped me answer some questions from the show. Like what that cloud from the series pilot was, and an explanation for the stained glass windows. This is UNEDITED, so there will be random mistakes, fragmented sentences, and incomplete thoughts. I did not write this for an audience, I wrote it for myself. I just figured I'd publish it and see if anyone else liked the idea. If you do, comment and tell me about it, I'd love to converse about this subject. This story has lots of proper/old English grammar that might be confusing to some.

Aurora has dreamed of flying with the stars for her entire life. Station born to her entrepreneur parents, she was destined to live a life of business; but she wanted more. Aurora left her home to become her dream, and fly gigantic warships to make her fortune. However, her life is complicated when she is ambushed by pirates in a seemingly secure area of space, and the authorities refuse to tell her what happened. She begins investigating on her own, which leads her to make tragic discoveries about how the world actually works, and the dangers of not staying where you should.

This story has been edited by the combined efforts of many of my close friends. Thank you to Flybane, Tsunami Rain, Syn3rgy, and others for reading and telling me why the story sucked so I could make it better.

It's a crossover with EVE Online. Just so you know.
