Back in reverie, Queen Filomena Amore Aperture still can't get her head around how her daughter was able to get involved with Infinity star sector royal family or the Great Library Citadel Station.
Cadence, frustrated with her mother's confusion, decides to attempt a trick that her uncle employs on her went she like that. She knocks her mother onto her back, wraps her arm around her mother's leg, finds the zipper on the back of the sandal, and removes it. Revealing her twelve and two third-inch Greek and taper-shaped wickedly gorgeous and exquisite curvy and slender grayish heliotrope colored lovely slight barefoot with mint green toenail polish.
Cadence focuses on her mother's normally shaped arch, which had an exquisite shape with a generous smooth curve to it, making her naked foot very appealing and high enough to be inviting. A sudden tingling sensation begins filling her Imperial Alicorn body, and without warning, Filomena explodes with laughter as her daughter tickles her sensitive arch. Filomena had never felt this sensation before in her long life, as the touching was not unpleasant.
She wants to stop the tingling sensation in her lovely slender bare foot. So she uses her sandal-clad foot and pushes her daughter on her back, forcing her to release her leg.
“By the first star, baby! What was that unusual sensation you did to my foot?” Filomena inquired anxiously as she rubbed her sensitive arch with her fingers to stop the sensation.
"My uncle uses that trick on me…went I get overwhelmed. It was such a wonderful experience; it helped me relax…I enjoy being forced to laugh." Cadence said, appreciating as she tossed her mother's removed sandal to her, and she put it back on.
"Baby, you must explain how you came in contact with the Royal family and Great Library Citadel Station…I know it is possible because of our Royal Bloodline. But still, it takes time…It took me several space cycles to meet with Empress Cosmos.” Filomena explained as Cadence signed softly and nodded her head.
"Went I first met the imperial Prince…he was Royal palace guard at my aunt's castle, and I didn't know that he was royalty from space…Over time, I got to know him and enjoyed being around him and his family." Cadence explains as a sudden spurt of adrenaline courses through Filomena's veins.
“What! His family!” Filomena exclaims.
“Yes, his Grandmother, mother and his two sisters.” Cadence comments.
“The Crowned Imperial Princess, the daughter of Empress Cosmos…Countess Silverlight and Baroness Silverlight?" Filomena's comment shocked.
"Oh, I almost forgot his aunt, too," Cadence exclaims.
"Duchess Nebula…That all the members of the infinity star sector Royal family. They run the days to day affairs of Imperial Alicorn space.” Filomena exclaims.
“What about the Great Library Citadel Station?” Filomena asked
“I just recently found out that my adopted aunts were the daughters of the head of the Great Library Citadel Station Lara Borealis...Like them, I am still learning about them."Cadence comments as she hugs her mother.
"What? Just recently found out?" Filomena said, baffled, as her daughter nodded her head.
“How can that be, baby? The great library citadel station is the third most powerful sect in Imperial Alicorn space…The first most powerful sect is the Royal families from each star sector. With the military being the second most powerful sect in Imperial Alicorn space and one that holds the most power.” Filomena explains as she rubs her painted fingernails on the lower half of her jaw.
"The truth, mother…is that my adopted aunts somehow lost their memory and connection to Imperial Alicorn Reverie," Cadence explains as the breath catches in Filomena's throat.
"That is not possible, baby! If Imperial Alicorn cuts itself off from the reverie…It would result in horrible nausea and headaches for that Alicorn…I have studied several cases of Imperial Alicorns that suffered a traumatic experience and tried to cut themselves off from the reverie. Eventually, they must face that trauma in the reverie to cure the side effects." Filomena speaks with an expert tone of voice.
“You sound like a scientist, mother?" Cadence said, puzzled, as Filomena chuckled into the back of her hand.
"A power crystal miner is what I am…It's not what I do." Filomena comments as Cadence scratches her head.
“I am a premiere Bio-Geneticist from the Pillars of Creation Institute…I study evolution through DNA. I am what they call an Imperial Alicorn Galactic Scientist…I am one of the huge sects of great thinkers within Imperial Alicorn society…without Galactic Scientist, nothing that Imperial Alicorn have is possible." Filomena explains there was some pride in her voice.
It is an hour later as Justice and Celestia trek through the broken streets and snow-covered areas of ruined Crystal City on their way to the ruins of Crystal Palace using the direction to the secret room provided by Flurry Heart. The two elder imperial Alicorns decided to investigate the Imperial Alicorn crystal laboratory in the basement of the ruins of Crystal Palace for themselves.
"My love, how will we enter the Imperial Alicorn crystal Laboratory? If it rejects Cadence's own daughter Flurry Heart?" Celestia inquires as the pair stops for a moment.
"My love, please remove one of your gloves?" Justice asked as Celestia pulled off one of her gloves, even those it was freezing.
A moment later, Justice grasps his wife's hand in his, and she feels a surge of power transfer from her husband into her. As she flipped her hand over, a picture of a single stylized star was on the back of her hand.
"Normally, we have a huge ceremony when you are crowned an Imperial Princess being my wife at the Infinity Palace…and I transfer some of my duties to you…But we have no time for that, so I transfer the ability to neutralize Imperial Alicorn magic. The ability only the imperial family has.” Justice explains as unseen emerald green eyes watched and felt the transfer of Imperial Alicorn magic into another.
In the psychic dimension, a vast Ancient Imperial Alicorn mare constellation begins to weave a spell using her magic before she can complete it. Two more ancient Imperial Alicorn mares constellations arrive and quickly sever the enchantment with their horns.
"I will not let you take control of Justice and Celestia, mother! Those two will choose their own path to walk. And not yours." The second imperial Alicorn mare constellation says as her mother's eyes seethe.
“That goes for me as well, sister…Those two are the best hope for our Imperial Alicorn species." The third Imperial Alicorn mare constellation comments as the first imperial Alicorn hiss at her sister.
“How dare you defy the Empress?!” The first Imperial Alicorn mare constellation said hotly as she left the psychic dimension.
"Niece, had your mother forgotten what happened to your cousin went she tried to change fate?" The third Imperial Alicorn mare constellation asked as a shooting star dropped from her eye.
After carefully navigating through the broken and crumbling crystal corridor of the once beautiful crystal castle, the home to the rulers of the Crystal Empire, Justice and Celestia finds the staircase leading into the castle's basement. Before proceeding into the cellar, the two Imperial Alicorns switch to their night vision after Justice transfers some of the imperial duties to his wife.
All the ability she once had before she forgot what she was has been restored. That includes the unique skills of a Timekeeper Administrator from Great Library Citadel station; Celestia has discovered that she can read any magic language and quickly decipher the gestures of that language without having to study it in-depth. She also learned how to transfer all those stored-up memories into her own Epoch or History book, the main job of a Timekeeper Administrator from Great Library Citadel station.
Carefully both Imperial Alicorns make their way down the crystal staircase leading into the basement using a long metal pole to tap on the stair treads ahead of them, testing them to see if they are solid and safe to step on. After an hour of slow progress down the crystal staircase, Justice and Celestia finally set foot in the basement of the crystal castle; after tapping on the basement floor, they determine that it is safe to walk on.
"Ok, my love, let's start looking for the door into the Imperial Alicorn crystal laboratory of Princess Amore.” Justice suggested as Celestia and Justice used their thermo vision to begin searching the basement walls as the area was pitch black from the collapse of the upper half of the crystal castle.
Watching from the shadows of the basement was the black shadow bird wondering who these two Alicorns were that were searching for the Imperial Alicorn crystal laboratory of Princess Amore. As Celestia nears the black shadow bird's position, it is immediately hit by the unique magic signature of a Timekeeper Administrator of the Great Library citadel station.
The unique magic signature of a Timekeeper Administrator confuses the black shadow bird even more, wondering how it knows what this Alicorn mare is.
It quickly escaped from its current position, causing Celestia to flinch; went unexpected breeze passed beside her, and she swatted blindly in the air, her hand. The black shadow bird flies toward the second Imperial Alicorn to get a read. The black shadow bird swallows a lump in its throat as the magic signature it reads was coming off a member of the imperial family.
All Imperial Alicorn civilians have a healthy respect for the Imperial family as their magic is much more potent than any Imperial Alicorn civilian. But in this case, the black shadow bird's heart races with discovering an imperial family member and quickly dives into the boot of Timekeeper Administrator Celestia Silverlight to hide from the Imperial Alicorn stallion that is part of the Imperial family.
As the black shadow bird sinks to the bottom of Celestia's boot and begins to flatten out, a few tiny tentacles start wiggling, tickling the sole of her barefoot, causing her to chuckle for a few minutes before it stops.
"Celestia! Over here, I found the entrance to the Imperial Alicorn crystal laboratory of Princess Amore." Justice calls as Celestia lock on her husband's heat signature and makes her way over to him.
"Tee-Hee." Celestia laughed as each step caused the tiny tentacles from the black shadow bird to extend up between her toes and tickle between her toes.
"Huh? Why are you smiling and laughing, my love?" Justice asked, puzzled, seeing the huge smile on Celestia's snout and her laughing.
"Huh? It, not you doing it?" Celestia said, her voice edged with tension as Justice shook his head no.
"There something inside my boot tickling my foot…I thought it was you, my love!" Celestia commented, her voice breaking as Justice switched to his magic vision scanning his wife from head to foot.
‘Huh? Anomalies in her boot!’ Justice thought, finding a strange magic signature on the bottom of her boot.
"(Quickly kissing Celestia on her lips to calm her) It should be safe inside the Imperial Alicorn crystal laboratory of Princess Amore…so endure it. A Timekeeper Administrator can't be infected by dark magic; that's why it feels like you are being tickled…Being part of the imperial family, we have both dark and light magic in us…so dark and light magic can't infect us." Justice explains that learning that her husband can't be infected alleviates Celestia's anxiety, and she nods.
With that, Justice presses his hand against the entrance into the Imperial Alicorn crystal laboratory of Princess Amore the magic protecting the lab is stuck into Justice’s hand. Celestia carefully walks into the laboratory to not alert the magic anomalous inside her boot. In the laboratory, Justice floats a crystal chair over to them, and Celestia sits on it. She extends her leg as Justice eases her boot off her foot, revealing her reasonably large, long, full, thick, plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant-shaped barefoot in front of him.
He kisses his wife's big toe, causing her to giggle and blush. As he carefully sets her boot down on the ground, he creates a crystal prison to capture the magic anomalous inside the boot. Without warning, the strange magic shoots out of the boot before he can complete the crystal prison; before it can get away, Celestia uses her own white crystal magic to achieve it, capturing the strange enchantment.
"What is it, my love? You can reward me by playing with my fairly large, long, full, thick and plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant-shaped bare feet when we return to the first dig site in our housing unit." Celestia requested as Justice nodded his head.
"This magic anomalous is called a Black shadow bird…this happens when Imperial Alicorn dabbles with Dark matter…which is illegal. I don't understand why my great-grandmother, the Empress, didn't pick up on it." Justice comments as waves of acid well up from Celestia’s belly, remembering the encounter in reverie with the Empress.
With the spell being broken protecting her lab, it alerts Queen Filomena Amore Aperture in the reverie, calling her back as princess Cadence Sparkle Aperture comes to in the Exploration Medical Personnel Carrier.
"What the hay!" A mare voice exclaimed, seeing the black shadow bird trapped inside a white crystal prison held by the Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight and Timekeeper Administrators Celestia Silverlight.
The soft pitter-patter of the mare's bare feet walking on the crystal floor draws attention to a marvelous looking grayish heliotrope color imperial Alicorn mare with a pale light grayish arctic blue mane and tail which is dumbfounded with the ability of the Imperial Prince and Timekeeper Administrators.
Her 6ft 6in perfect equine figure was attired in a strange body suit that hit just above her knees. Her long grayish heliotrope legs were bare as she walked upon twelve two-third inches, long grayish heliotrope colored sizable and attractive Greek and taper-shaped bare feet. You could clearly see on her bare feet that her second toes are the longest on her feet.
Why rests of her toes gently taper off the end of her feet. And folded on her back were her gold bio-mechanical metal bird wings. This Imperial Alicorn mare was Queen Filomena Amore Aperture, the ruler of the southern star sector and Princess Cadence Sparkle Aperture's mother.
"I will assume that you are the Galactic Scientist that owns this Imperial Alicorn crystal laboratory here," Justice commented as Celestia stood up and walked with click and pip-pop next to her husband.
"I am Queen Filomena Amore Aperture, the ruler of the Southern Star sector greeting, your imperial Highnesses," Filomena said politely, which caused Celestia to blush, forget she now an Imperial Princess being the wife of the Imperial Prince.
"Now, your majesty, can you explain how there is a black shadow bird here? You know it is illegal to dabble in Dark matter." Justice asked as Princess Cadence Sparkle Aperture arrived at her mother's lab and noticed the white crystal prison.
"Uncle! You better explain why you told me you didn't know how to use white crystal magic!" Cadence said hotly as Justice swallowed a lump in his throat went his niece arrived.
"Huh?" Filomena exclaims, watching her daughter give the Imperial Prince an ear full about lying to her.
"Tee-hee…Don't worry about those two. Your daughter is very close to the imperial Prince, Miss Aperture…Would you answer my husband's inquiry?" Celestia asked politely as Filomena nodded her head.
"That black shadow bird is what is left of my lab assistant…she was fascinated with dark matter and researched it even those it was illegal…She also helps King Sombra kill me. She didn't know that I had created this new body with the DNA of my original body. Hide it in my lab, waiting for my daughter to wake it up." Filomena explains as Cadence runs over to her mother and hugs her. A hug Cadence was waiting to give to her birth mother went she found her.
