//------------------------------// // Prologue: The Book, The Mirror and The Student // Story: Twilight Destiny // by Shadow Master //------------------------------// In the late afternoon, Princess Celestia was at her throne chamber as she was looking at the mirror oddly yet strangely like she was expecting something to happen. While she continued staring at it, someone opened the door and entered the scene. It was none other than Princess Luna. Seeing what her older sister has been doing, Princess Luna sighed as she knew what was going on. Princess Celestia has been staring at the mirror for a long time. Nevertheless, she approached and need to have a chat with her older sister. "Sister?" Princess Luna called. Surprised by call, Princess Celestia turned to her. She continued, "Still looking at the mirror?" Princess Celestia sighed as she briefly looked at the mirror before turned to her sister, "Yes. I'm still thinking about her." "Only time can tell. Whatever she has been doing for all those years, it's hard to tell of what plans she has for us and the world." "I can only pray that she changed her ways and made a right choice. If not, Twilight Sparkle will help and guide her to see the light." "So, what is next, sister?" Princess Luna asked in concern. In the blink of light, Princess Celestia summoned the book out, "The time is now. I'm sending both mirror and book to her now." "Are you certain of this?" Princess Luna asked in concern, "I fear your former student may refused to accept Twilight since the last message you have sent to her." Princess Celestia sighed in concern, "I am sure. We must know if she is the one." Princess Luna hummed in uncertainty, "I still have my doubts and concerns. But I trust your judgment and faith, sister. Let us hope that we were right about this. Once she discover her path, there will be no turning back for her." Princess Celestia nodded firmly, "I know. I just hope she's prepared for everything." In the evening at Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle was teaching Nyx about teleportation spell and time-stop spell. Despite being an Alicorn, she has a hard time to get it right. Nevertheless, she continued learning her lesson and training more to get them right. After a few hours have passed, Nyx managed did a small effort of short-distanced teleportation spell and even time stop for 5 minutes only. She dropped to the ground as she panted heavily and sweating a lot. Nyx sighed as she sat up straight while wiping sweats off, "That was tiresome. I'm exhausted..." Twilight Sparkle laughed a bit as she patted her young daughter gently, "At least, you did an effort of making them happen, even if it's the small results. You did well, Nyxie." Nyx giggled happily, "I guess I did. I don't know how you did it. It must have taken a lot of effort and training to do it." "It is, Nyx. And trust me, I spent my whole life in training and perfecting couple of spells. Hard, but worth my effort to get them right." "Wow... You're amazing, mummy. I sure wish I could be great and perfect as you. So little time to do the spells." "Aw, no rush, Nyx. You still got plenty more time to learn them later when you are ready. But you got something else to do." "Yeah? What would that be?" Twilight Sparkle snickered as she began tickling Nyx, "Spending time with your mummy than teacher!" Nyx giggled happily, "Stop! Stop it! That tickles!" "Don't tell me that you can't handle it! I thought you're strong for it!" "Anything! But not the tickles! Stop it! Come on! Really!" Twilight Sparkle continued tickling Nyx happily, making the little filly to levitate a feather and tickled back at her. Both of them continued tickling at each other. Spike opened the door and entered his home. He spotted the event, making himself to smirk. "Oh? Joining the fun, without me?" Spike asked in amusement. He chuckled, "You ask for it!" Spike charged in as he jumped on them. He began tickling on both his adopted mother and daughter. They even make a huge mess at the library. Three of them laughed and giggled happily as they were having fun and great time together happily. They really loved and cared each other a lot. After Princess Celestia have given the order, the Royal Guard have placed the mirror on Ponyville Express Train's cargo while giving Parcel Pony a book within the box package. With them have settle, he entered the train before it could headed off and set its course to Ponyville Town. However, during the travelling, something unusual happen to the cargo area. The mirror reacted strangely. Its reflective surface shined brightly while forming a swirling-like portal as if something or someone is coming out from it. With the blink of a light, the mysterious hooded pony emerged from it. The mysterious hooded pony looked around of her surroundings before smiling widely and darkly. "Perfect. I am back..." As the sun has set, the moon and its black skies took over the place. Twilight Sparkle and her two children have finished their fun time. Spike headed off to the bathroom for five-hours bubble bath. Both Twilight Sparkle and Nyx were cleaning the mess up now. "So, how are you feeling, Nyx?" Twilight Sparkle asked calmly. Nyx sighed happily, "Feeling better. You sure know how to make me comfortable, even though I'm down from not getting right with the spell." Twilight Sparkle smiled as she patted Nyx gently, "Mother and Teacher knows best, Nyxie. And you're my daughter too." "Yeah, I know." Nyx giggled happily. She has some thoughts about something. She asked, "By the way, have you ever wonder about something else?" "What is it, Nyx?" "Have you ever thought about taking a date with stallion?" "W-W-What?!" Twilight Sparkle asked in shock and concern. Her face blushed in more reddish before she yelped and exclaimed frantically, "Ar-Ar-Ar-Are you kidding me?! Please, tell me you're joking! I mean seriously, joking!" Her reaction surprised and shocked Nyx a lot as she has never seen how nervous, crazy and freak out her mother is now when she mentioned 'date with stallion'. Twilight Sparkle continued panicking and breathing heavily and crazily. "Why would you think of that?! I don't really have the time for it!" Twilight Sparkle laughed and gasped nervously, crazily and heavily, "Honestly, I don't! I mean who would want to date an egghead like me?! I mean seriously, nopony at all! Literally, serious, Nyx! What makes you ask that question about me dating with stallion?!" Nyx laughed nervously, "Uh, Mummy, I was just asking only." Twilight Sparkle looked at her oddly, making the little black filly more nervous and worry. She yelped, "I mean, you're smart, cute, brave, kind and beautiful mare. I mean what kind of stallion wouldn't fall for you? They would madly in love with you! And that's why I asked." After hearing what her daughter has said, Twilight Sparkle slowly breathed and calmed herself down. She turned and looked at Nyx. "Okay. I see why you asked. And I'm sorry for freaking out again. But you have to understand one thing, I'd never make a friend before in my life especially boys. And therefore," Twilight Sparkle  giggled uneasily, "I have no idea of how I react and handle it." "Oh..." Nyx said in shock and surprise. She sighed, "I guess that make sense. Sorry." "But now, I have more friends. I get to know and learn more about friendship especially having you and Spike with me. So, making a friend with boys will take some time. But I will try to ask one of them for a date." Twilight Sparkle said calmly before giving a wink at Nyx, "Deal?" Surprised and happy to hear it, Nyx smiled as she nuzzled her mother's legs, "Alright! Thanks! If you do, I wanna make sure that he is really happy and really love you especially I get to call him 'daddy'." Twilight Sparkle gave Nyx her dry annoying looks, "Don't push that luck, young lady." Nyx yelped fearfully, "Eek! Sorry! Won't do that again!" "You'd better," Twilight Sparkle said dryly, "Otherwise I'd give you some serious punishment especially your worst nightmare. Understand?" Nyx gulped in fear, "Eek! Crystal Clearly!" After giving her daughter a frightful glare for the moment, Twilight Sparkle giggled amusingly while patting her gently, "Okay. I'm glad you listen to me crystal clear. I'm happy that you're my daughter." Nyx sighed in relief while smiled nervously, "Yeah. Hopefully, I lived." KNOCKED! Twilight Sparkle and Nyx were surprised as they turned and approached the door. As they opened it, they found parcel pony was standing while holding a box package and the mirror was behind him. "Package delivery for Ms. Sparkle," Parcel Pony said calmly. Twilight Sparkle nodded. He held the document up, "Just need you to sign here." As Twilight Sparkle signed the document, the Parcel Pony passed the box package and mirror to her. He turned and headed off while Nyx closed the door. Both mother and daughter moved both packages in. They placed the mirror closed to the glass case of six Elements of Harmony. They then looked at the package. Both Twilight Sparkle and Nyx were so curious as they quickly opened the box package up. They levitated both a book and note out of it. "A book? I wonder what is this about?" Nyx asked. "Only one way to find out," Twilight Sparkle said calmly as she turned to the letter and began reading it out loud, "Dear Twilight Sparkle, The spell contained on the last page of this book is Star Swirl the Bearded's secret unfinished masterpiece. But he was never able to get it right, and thus abandoned it. I believe you are the only pony who can understand and rewrite it. Princess Celestia" Both Twilight Sparkle and Nyx gasped in surprise and shocked. They turned and looked at the book while giving 'ooh' sounds. They couldn't believe that they were holding it that actually belongs to the famous yet great wizard of all time - Starswirl the Bearded. "So, what kind of masterpiece work he couldn't finish?" Nyx asked curiously. Twilight Sparkle shrugged, "I don't know. But let's find out. Together." Nyx smiled and nodded in agreement. As Twilight Sparkle opened the book's last page of Starswirl the Bearded's masterpiece work, both mother and daughter looked at it carefully and firmly. They both have their horns glowed brightly to cast a spell. "From one to another, another to one. A mark of one's destiny singled out alone, fulfilled."  As Twilight Sparkle and Nyx continued reading the book, they were not aware of something occurring - The Element of Magic shot the magical beam on the rest of Elements of Harmony. Five of them began shifted the colors to one and another jewels wildly and randomly. "I... I don't get it," Nyx said in confusion and uneasy. Twilight Sparkle nodded, "You're right. That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't even rhyme!" "So, how are we going to accomplish Starswirl the Bearded's masterpiece work now if it doesn't make any sense?" Nyx asked in concern, "It's like the box you can't open." "I know, sweetheart. I know. I wonder why would Lord Azure Phoenix send me that box to me in the first place? It didn't actually help me during Crystal Empire when I faced King Sombra." "I don't know. And to be honest, he and Princess Celestia are quite strange and mysterious when we have no clues of what to do with the items they send to us. No offense, mummy." "None taken, sweetheart. But I have to agree. I wish they give us some clues," Twilight Sparkle nodded in agreement before she yawned out lout, "But now, I'm exhausted and tired. How about we call the night off?" Feeling a bit sleepy, Nyx also yawned, "Yeah. I guess so. I'm tired after some serious training and practicing on spells. I need a goodnight sleep too." "Good to hear. Maybe tomorrow, we'll figure it. We can asked our friends to help us out." "That's a great idea, mummy! Can I asked my friends to come too? They do have some ideas too..." "Hmm... Sure. But make sure they don't make a mess again." "Okay." Twilight Sparkle placed and put Starswirl the Bearded's Book on the table. She and Nyx yawned loudly as they began climbed up the stairs to their bedroom. "You know, mummy," Nyx said happily. Twilight Sparkle turned and looked at her. She asked, "Have you ever wonder if you ever did become a princess?" Twilight Sparkle was surprise and shock, "Me?! A Princess?!" She scoffed a bit, "That'd be full of laughs. Pinkie Pie would like to add that as a joke like 'Here's the funny thing! My best friend Twilight is destined to be a great Princess! I laughed at it because I'd always thought she's a joke. But guess what?! She is! Then, I'm the real joke! Who knew?'." Nyx giggled a bit, "I guess so. But seriously, what you'd think?" "It's impossible, Nyx." "Aw, come on, why?" "I'm a pony, who'd preferred studies and working than being princess. Have you see me being a princess once?" "Not really," Nyx admitted but giggled a bit, "But you looked like one. Just need to add wings to your back. You'd make a fine beautiful princess in the Equestria. That'd be the blast!" Twilight Sparkle laughed happily, "I'd love to see it happen. And believe me, I'd love too. But I doubt it." "Come on. Admit it. You wanna be." "Not really, sweetheart. Okay. Maybe a bit. Your grandfather did believed in me being princess once. But I'm not exactly 'princess' material. I mean I'd never done royalty before in my life. Studying under Princess Celestia does not count, Nyx, if you ever ask." "Mummy... Mummy... It's not what 'job' or 'minds' count as princess, it's within your heart. And trust me, you have those quality to be one." "Yeah, I still don't think so." "Come on, mummy! I'm serious!" "I am too!" "No you're not!" "Yes, I am!" "Mummy is the princess! Mummy is the princess! Mummy is the princess!" "Aw, Nyx, you really want me to be one so badly, aren't you?" "Who doesn't? It's filly's dream!" "Yeah, right!" "You wanna be a monstrous Midnight Sparkle again? You know you hate it when ponies mentioned it." "Nyx, don't test me again. I'm serious..." "Mummy wants to become Midnight Sparkle! Mummy wants to become Midnight Sparkle! Mummy wants to become Midnight Sparkle!" "Nyx, seriously, stop it. I seriously hate it! I'm not Midnight Sparkle!" "Unless you'd tell me that 'I'd be the princess', I would just keep on saying 'Midnight Sparkle'." "Nyx, cut it out before I give you some spanking again!" "Make me if you dare, mummy!" "Come here, you, my little black angel! So, I can tickle you!" As Twilight Sparkle and Nyx continued arguing about 'the unicorn being princess or being Midnight Sparkle', they also tickling and laughing happily at each other in their bedroom. However; within the glass case, the colors transferring and shifting randomly has stopped at once. Rainbow Dash's Element is pink, Applejack's purple, Fluttershy's blue, Pinkie Pie's orange and finally Rarity's red. What could this mean? However, the mysterious hooded pony saw everything from outside window of Golden Oak Library. She hummed thoughtfully while looking concern and uneasy. "I could get that crown now, but it's too risky. No telling what that foolish unicorn did to her ownElements of Harmony. So, It's better that I'd wait and see what will happen next," The mare said in uncertain yet calmly. She then smirked, "Whatever it was, I'll get what I want. Princess Celestia will rue day for not giving me what I deserve..." The mysterious hooded pony turned and walked away from the scene. What is her plans? What does she wants? And more importantly, why are the Elements of Harmony to her?
