The Truth
Twilight was standing in the throne room, looking at the princess, speechless. “I’m sorry, Princesses, but I don’t understand what you’re trying to say..” She told them, her voice wavering. She saw Luna shuffling in her seat as Celestia sighed but had a warm gentle smile. Saying something she never thought she would hear.
Okay, let’s rewind a bit here.

I put away my book as I got off the train and saw two royal guards, waiting for me, one was a unicorn who has a white coat with green eyes while the other was a Pegasus that has a grey coat with yellow eyes. ’I thought I told her, I was too old to have a bodyguard.’ I thought to myself as I sighed. “Twilight Sparkle, We are here to escort you to the castle. By demands of Princess Luna.” The guard with the white coat said.
“Princess Luna?” I was taken back by the statement. Why Luna would send guards to come get me? It must have been something they did 1,000 years ago, right? Before I could ask why, the other guard said, “We should get going. It would be better to get there now than be late.” His voice was rather sharp. ’And strangely, rudely familiar.’
Before I could say anything else the two guards started walking towards the castle. Celestia, I hope there’s a good reason for this.

The trip the the castle was painfully slow and quiet. It’s almost like those two have some tension between each other. I hope whatever problem they have is worked out, soon. Hopefully, they’ll just stop here.
“Well, Thanks you guys for the escort to the castle. I got it from here. I’ll remember the nice talk.” I said to them as I start walking in the castle. I felt a magic aura around me, bringing me back to the guards. I turned around to see the white coated guard looked at me, gently saying, “Ms. Sparkle we were also told to keep you company, until the Princesses are told about your arrival.”
I sighed. “That’s just, fantastic.” I mumbled to myself. Well, I guess I could find out more about these two. I don’t think I ever saw them in the castle before. “Well then, lead the way.” I said, as kind as I can. We began to walk to the Throne Room.
The walk was a little better this time. I started talking to the white unicorn guard. Apparently his name is Blaze, he’s been working in the castle for a few years now. That would explain why I haven’t seen him, I guess. Blaze seems like kind pony, he almost reminds me of Fluttershy.
The other guard was a bit more difficult to get any information from. All I know is that his name is Sky Chaser. He seems really quiet, but really focused on his job. That’s almost admirable. It makes me remember how focused I used be when I was still living here.
We stopped outside the Throne Room. Before I started to open the door, Sky Chaser stopped me. “I need to inform the Princesses, first.” He told me. I watched him go inside, slightly frustrated.
“Don’t worry about him.” I heard Blaze say behind me. “He’s a nice guy, at heart.” I looked at Blaze and nodded. He probably is. It wouldn’t be right to judge someone who I barely know, but still he’s just-
“He’s just so rude.” I said to nopony in particular. I heard the colt behind me chuckle. “He’s like that when he works with someone. He’s more of a ‘I’d-rather-do-it-alone’ type of pony.” He explained to me. I do kind of relate to that.
After a while, Sky Chaser opened the door and said, “You can come in, now.” He opened the door wider as I walked in the Throne Room. As soon as I was fully inside, I heard the door close behind me. I looked in front of me to see Celestia look at me with her bright, gentle, smile. I smiled back at her, it’s always nice to see her.
I looked beside her, to see Luna look at me with a slight bewildered look. I wonder why. I bowed before them. “Rise, Twilight, you have bo reason to bow for us.” I heard Celestia say. I got up and walked towards the two princesses.
“Is there any reason for this?” I asked her.
“For what?”
“This Ever since I became a Element of Harmony, a lot of ‘world-saving’ stuff a been going on.” I explain. “Queen Chrysalis isn’t back, is she?” I ask after a small thought. Celestia just chuckled lightly as Luna blinked.
“No, Twilight, We just simply want to talk to you.” Celestia told me, calmly. I sighed in relief. That was good to hear. But- “What is there to talk about, Princess?”
Luna looked at her sister and said, “I’d like to know the reason as well, Sister.”
Celestia just smiled and said, “I just wanted to make some time for my little sister and student to spend some time getting to know each other and bring you two closer together. Almost like a family.” I looked at Celestia, questionably. ‘She’s planning something. I can feel it.’ I glanced at Luna, to see her eyes slightly widened as she stared at me.
“Sister, you don’t mean, she’s-“ Luna started her voice fading, as she turned towards Celestia. Celestia looked at her and nodded. I stared at the two, incredibly confused. They turned to me. “What?” I asked.
Celestia cleared her throat, “Well, Twilight, one thousand years ago, a little before my sister’s banishment. She had a-“
“I had a child. A daughter.” Luna interrupted while staring at me, rather intensely. “I believed that she died, years back, but my sister has informed me that she was, indeed, still alive.”
“So, you need help trying to find her?” I asked, trying to understand why I was here. Celestia shook her head. “Actually, I do know where and who she is, but my sister does not.” Luna stayed quiet.
“You do? How do you know?” I asked, confused.
“I found her, after the banishment, and I gave her away when she was ready. I was able to watch over her for the past few years, since she was able to go to my school.” Celestia told me.
The past few years? If she was born a couple of years ago then- “Shouldn’t she be over a thousand years old?” I asked.
“She is, but she doesn’t know it. She was unable to grow when I found her. She started to grow when almost 18 years ago.” Celestia said. 18 years ago? ‘That’s basically my age.’ I thought.
I took a moment to think about the information she told me, to figure out why I’m here. ‘Luna’s daughter is physically my age but mentally a thousand years old... And since she went to Celestia’s School, I’m pretty sure she isn’t a alicorn, since being born as an alicorn is unheard of. So she’s a unicorn. A strong one at that since she was able to get into the school.... Wait-’
I looked at Celestia and asked, “Was she your student?” Celestia nodded. “She still is. She’s a rather powerful little pony. Turned her parents into plants, if I remember her entrance exam.” She said, thoughtfully.
‘Turned her parents into plants... These are just coincidences, right?’ I thought to myself. “I’m sorry, Princess, but I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, here...” I told them, hearing my own voice wavering. I saw Luna shuffling in her seat as Celestia sighed but had a warm gentle smile. Saying something I never thought I would hear.
“Twilight Sparkle, You are my sister’s, Princess Luna’s, daughter.”
“What?!”
