Do you remember being born? Torn away from everything that is familiar and cast out into the unknown?
I do.
It haunts my dreams.

Meeting up with Rarity at a coffee shop, Twilight was all ready to cram for finals. She thought it would be a brilliant and nice idea to study together. Of course, it would probably have been better if Rarity wasn't her girlfriend and wasn't more interested in studying Twilight rather than flash cards.
The search to find the right pony to serve as your bodyguard can take a lifetime. Finding the pony you want to spend your life with can take just as long. Fortunately for Rarity, she finds both of these qualities united in one pony.
Nothing is ever easy, however. And in a way, the journey to happiness is never truly over.
This story was tagged as 'dark' for minor blood, and off-screen death in certain scenes. Not enough to really shock, but I thought it prudent to mention regardless.
This story is dedicated to Monochromatic, who has become a friend to me over this last year.
Enjoy.
Months after Chrysalis's attack on Canterlot, Twilight and her friends are turned into changelings. And not just any changelings. Royal changelings. Royal changelings who've now inherited what's left of Chrysalis's swarm.

Well it's not actually a sequel. Here is a collection of short stories and histories detailing the life of Alternia, a changeling queen impersonating the life of Princess Celestia. These are the stories of the ruler under her mask.
Reading the main story: Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen is a requirement if you don't want to be spoiled or confused. I will try to provide background information when I can.
For readers of the main story, there are basically no spoilers if you've read past chapter 8. Enjoy!
This story is a sequel to Princess Celestia The Changeling Queen: Stories Behind the Mask
At the Royal Wedding, Chrysalis and the Changelings were revealed to all of Equestria.
But another mask was torn away that day. A mask born for a thousand years. A mask created on one promise. A mask, that has become synonymous, fused, to its bearer.
A mask that when ripped off, causes Twilight, her friends and Luna to question everything they ever knew about the one pony, one very important pony.
At the Royal Wedding, the meaning of the phrase 'Princess Celestia' changes forever.
NOTE: Chrysalis is NOT Celestia!!! That'd be impossible to pull off.

Princess Celestia has decided to step down from the throne for a day and mingle with the common folk.
Princess Luna has also decided to step down from the throne for a day and mingle with the common folk.
Princesses Celestia and Luna neglected to inform each other of this decision.
Twilight Sparkle never was a Unicorn and she didn't even know it.
What happens when her true heritage comes to light? Will she willingly embrace it? Or will she be forced to?
Beware of spoilers in the comments!
