Chapter IX: The Sempricorn

Author's Note:

Previously on The Fragments of Symphony:

Another version of the brown stallion in the air, this one an Earth pony, looked up to the sky from his TARDIS and saw himself comforting the young Derpy. "I wonder when I become a Pegasus?" he asked himself. "Who cares about that, we gotta move if we're going to find out how to create the aurora flash with the Fragments of Symphony so that these events can happen!" he exclaimed. "Allons-y!"

Meanwhile, in Princess Luna's dream, an inexplicable aurora flash popped into and out of existence with a twinkling sound. In its wake, the flash left behind a Unicorn filly with a teal coat, big teal eyes, and a blonde mane with a single pink streak in it, and a blonde tail with a couple of pink streaks in it. Luna decided to name the pony Aurora Flash, after the inexplicable phenomenon that seemed to have birthed her. She added the middle name Lucilia, meaning "little light" in Latin. The magic we sense in her is pre-Equestrian, so her name deserves to be in the language that the ponies of that time spoke.

Aurora Lucilia Flash had magic that was older than anypony who ever knew her, even Luna, had ever realised could exist inside a single pony. This was because she was no normal Unicorn at all. Aurora was a being of an ancient race of ponies known as the Sempricorns. In those times, the Unicorn tribe consisted of two races: normal Unicorns (Which, oddly enough, included royalty) and Sempricorns: Unicorns who could travel through time as many times as they wanted instead of just once, remember things that never happened to them better than any historian pony could, and do something with ease that takes an Alicorn or a very highly-trained normal Unicorn a lot of magic strength to do: Dream-walking spells.

The mother of a Sempricorn was the mare who dreamed about his or her creation, and the father was the stallion who created the catalyst necessary to call her into existence. Princess Luna, having woken up and read this in her Encyclopedia Somniaria, recorded her latest dream in her dream journal, with a group of letters she wrote in there often: EncSomn, and the number of the page in the book that defined Sempricorns, walked down her tower and into the castle atrium to watch the rest of the Royal Wedding. But when she got there, the wedding was over, and everypony was already outside celebrating.

We will find out later who this other pony is, but for now... Luna thought. She then looked down at the Unicorn filly who resembled the dream-figure. It looks like we have a Sempricorn to raise!
