Reunion - Chapter 72

Discord: an all-powerful annoyance that brings about the means to his own demise even as he perpetuates his beloved chaos.
It is fitting then, that he should be the one that brings the purpose of this tome full circle.

We were born many centuries ago. Even with our renewed memory we still must admit with some embarrassment that we have lost count. We were born to the first unicorn king, Monoceros, by his second wife, a pegasus named Sky Dust.

We are not Celestia’s twin and neither are we fully her sister. She was born to father’s first wife, an earth pony named Morning Glory. Our wings and horn was attributed to our mixed lineage, but as time wore on that proved to be false. We cannot say with certainty why we were born alicorn, or why we are any different from alicorns like this Princess Cadenza. It has been said that our longevity is due to our connection with the heavenly bodies, but the reciprocal could also be true, that fate has given us a talent as eternal as we are.

Father was never ashamed of his ‘half-blood’ daughters. To him we were children of all three tribes, a symbol that would secure his lineage’s rule for all eternity. How right he was.

I love those moments; I like to wave at them as they pass by.

Discord defeating himself makes sense when you think about it, with our order being the normal what fun is chaos? If he sets hims elf up for defeat on purpose or though subconscious actions, well that's debatable.

In my personal head cannon how Celestia and Luna are related has always been one thing I can't decide on. Half sisters is one possibility I never considered, i've leanded towards fratenral twins or magic being why they aren't indentical. I would of course disagree with Luna's assessment that having different mothers doesn't make them "full" sisters, that's more about how they treat each other and relate. Being of the same blood line, both being born alicorns (Cadance ascended like Twi), and sharing the same longevity and celestial connection (I always thought with great effort Luna could move the sun) I think they are full sisters. Of course that's not a criticism of the story, characters can believe things I think are unture :P

Love is eternal too.
