The Princess of the Sun awoke from her bed, she walked up to the Balcony to raise the sun. “Blossom I would have words with you.”, magic gathered around her as the sun began to rise. The Princess took in the smell of morning, as her sun’s light filled the room. Another day, Just like there would be countless thousands of.
A song both cruel and kind entered the room, it coalesced into a physical form. “You have need of me Sun Princess?”
“You told me, that your truth was of liberation, that truth allowed us to escape our fates. But in following your guidance, I only fulfilled mine. Do you have any idea how much I want to throttle you right now?” Sunset shimmer stated.
“Quite a bit I imagine, But I only guided you to the path you wanted to take anyways.” Blossom replied.
“That’s what pisses me off the most.” Sunset spat back. “I wanted a Sun Princess who knew humility even if they embraced pride, who could be sincere, who could live harmony not just preach it.” Sunset Sighed looking up at the red sun she controlled. “If I had taken two seconds I could have caught myself and realized, I never stopped wanting the throne, I just stopped wanting it for my sake.”
Sunset looked out the balcony, she could see the strands of light, the individual souls mingling and touching, connecting to one another. She could see the harmony unfolding in the world in front of her, she waited a few minutes. “It really is beautiful.” Sunset smiled softly at the beautiful kingdom in front of her. “Harmony, is countless different things, individual pieces coming together, the countless colors coming together to create a beautiful mosaic. You have my answer blossom, now leave.”
“Of course princess.” Graceful blossom gave a slight bow.
In a few moments that song dissipated and Sunset was alone with her thoughts, It was time for her first day of day court, and she held no intent to not live up to her mother’s example.
The Pegasus looked up at the red sun from the Atrium and smiled. “Sister come on, It’s been so long since I had chance to get out it.”
“Alright Celestia, let me just put myself together. I think people would notice an Alicorn, and I do appreciate my privacy.” Luna took on the appearance of an earth pony. “We should probably pack some things for the adventure.”
“Oh you and your adventuring toolkit, where’s the fun in an adventure if you are prepared for everything.” Celestia chuckled at her sister.
Luna smiled. “Indeed, what is the fun? It is nice to see you so relaxed again sister.”
“Well, I don’t have to worry about everything anymore. I know there’s someone doing my job, and I know she’ll do a great job because she has great friends to help me.” She took one last look at the red sun and smiled.
The girl approached the statue, she touched it, but nothing happened. Tears ran down her face, she looked at the book in her hand, emblazoned with a two toned sun.
“I don’t understand how you work, but I know you can reach her.” The girl started to beg. “Please, I never got to tell her that...I love her, and now she’s gone. I know now my place is with her, wherever she goes. PLEASE JUST LET ME REACH HER!”
For a moment nothing happened, the girl collapsed in tears. Then the portal in front of her opened up. Twilight sparkle looked up at the portal, she waited a moment she was not making a decision but staring in disbelief. She stood up and without a second thought entered the portal, to where she belonged.
