As me and Soaring headed over to the castle, I decided to peek at the supposed piece of paper I received from Discord. "Let me see here, According to the note I got, I received 4 powers. The first is Whistle Master. (seriously?) The second is Bubble Blower. (yeah that blows alright)  The third is Observation +1. (well that's surprising) and Flight." "Wait! Flight? That is an actual power! Yes!" Soaring looked at me funny. "I dont get it, why are you excited about that? I mean after all, Flying comes naturally to me." I looked at Soaring and said, "Do you realize how many humans would want an awesome super power like that? I mean most Super heroes usually can fly."

Soaring chuckled. "Figures you want to be like a Super Hero. I mean you can already do magic, and now you can fly. I would say that definitely qualifies as Super Hero status then." I smiled at that. Soon afterwards me and Soaring managed to get to the front gate of the castle. However, the Guards seemed to look at us quite oddly, and to be honest they looked like they weren't going to let us in.

Luckily, or fortunately for us, one of the staff members managed to recognize me right away, even though I had shrunk, they could tell I still looked the same, just younger. After the staff informed the guards, they apologized for the mistake and let us both through. When we managed to get inside after thanking the staff member. I happened to notice Soaring seemed really nervous all of a sudden. "Hey, Don't sweat it Soaring." I said in a whisper. "Besides, I know Luna and Celestia are going to be ecstatic to see you."

Soaring looked downcast though. I could tell he was going through some regret. After all that happened in the past, He felt that he didn't deserve their love since He had disappeared for most of their life. I gave Soaring a big hug and assured Him that things would be well. Afterwards, We headed over to the throne room. 

Throne Room

The guards had been informed that we wished to see Celestia if she wasn't too busy. It wasn't long before we were allowed entry into the Throne Room. When Celestia saw me she gasped. "What happened to you Max?" "I swear if this is a joke of Luna's I will not tolerate it." I chuckled. "Believe me, if this had been a joke of Luna's I certainly would have found it interesting and funny. But no, Discord would be the one to claim credit on this prank, if it was one." Celestia seemed confused and also a tad bit upset. She then noticed the pony in the room next to me who was acting quite shy. "Hello, My Little Pony, I did not mean to ignore you or scare you. Please approach me." Soaring did approach. Celestia then looked very carefully at the Pony in question, and gasped. "As I live and breathe, is that you Soaring?"

I smiled then said proudly, "Presenting Prince Soaring, Brother of Celestia and Luna. Also, my long lost brother who has been found!" Celestia smiled then pounced on Soaring and started nuzzling Him very affectionately. She then contacted Luna by telepathy and told her to come quickly. Sure enough a moment later, Luna came and happily nuzzled her long lost brother. After a while, though Soaring had been embarrassed, He smiled happily at seeing his Sisters. Finally, after all of that, Celestia turned to me and asked me what had happened.

After a few tense moments, I explained what had happened to me and Soaring. They sat there wide eyed the whole time, but They had to admit it was a blessing as well for me and for them. Finally, Celestia said, "We must celebrate our wonderful reunion, with a celebration!" Luna happily agreed. Soon, the staff had been informed and there was a wonderful party, where some ponies had been invited. I happily celebrated the joyful return. Soon Soaring was given his official title back, and many ponies cheered.

As for me, I took a small break from the festivities, to test my flight capabilities. It reminded me a lot of how the characters in Dragon Ball Z flew. It was a pleasant feeling. Luckily I hadn't been noticed by anypony. Afterwards, It became nightfall. Soon, Soaring became quite exhausted from the day's activities. Celestia and Luna nuzzled both of us affectionately. We walked over to where Soaring would be staying. It was the room in which I had been staying. It surprised me, considering that I was living there. Celestia smiled at me knowingly. 

Needless to say, I found myself once more in Celestia's room. She enjoyed bathing me and giving me a lot of affection. Later on, Luna came to join us for a Nightcap. I soon found myself being happily wrapped up in both Sister's hooves. I was super comfortable. Celestia spoke to me and said. "Remember Max, you are family to both of us. We will never forget you, nor will we forsake you in your times of need." She nuzzled me. Soon, we had all fell asleep. These words continued to echo through me, giving me peace of mind and a great happiness spread through me.

My adventures in Canterlot had ended, soon I would be with Twilight and her friends in Ponyville. Who knows how my life would change even more then. Also, what about the Element of Hope, How would it effect me and my Friends and Family. That dear Readers, will have to wait until the next time.
