Twilight Sparkle spends her first night as Celestia´s personal protégé at Canterlot Castle. Alone, away from home, sleepless.
When she can´t find rest, the darkness carries a wonderful voice to her.
Just a little shortstory I came up with after listening to Lullaby for a Princess

Wow!
No need to thank me. This is only the creation of a chaotic mind.
A comment like that is one of the greatest achievements you can get as a writer. I´m positively surprised and flattered.
Thanks.

I love it when Celestia is like this with Twilight
That song and this fic just remind me of how much it must have hurt Celestia for a thousand years to have to stare up at the night sky and know that her sister is gone. And even more than that, how much it must have hurt to have to hide that pain from everypony.
These aren't tears. It's liquid pride, totally different.
Really liked this, though knowing that it was inspired by Celestia's lullaby made me inclined to like it going in
. I think it started out strong, talking about why Twilight was so eager to move into the Castle and that smart mares aren't scared of the dark.
My only quibble is Twilight going to find Celestia. I feel like it could do with one of two more lines of description, just because it is hard to picture where things are as is. Her room seems to overlook the garden, but is down the hall from it? However, you have a good economy of words here, so maybe more description would just bog it down (I wish we had a shoulder shrug emoticon).

There is nothing wrong with liquid pride. Especially when this topic is involved. If you really want to break a dam, you should watch the animatic to this song from warpout.
Good to hear you liked it.

We know Twilight pretty well by now, so I just added a bit more "child". I thought that was a good mix.
I never really described the way she went to get to the gardens, so ... meh!

Oh god that last line...
that line is like a foreshadow to a future we don't know of yet....
either way this story is a nice change of pace for me so thank you for this!
beautiful storie
Such a nice story, and really touching. Take a fav. Also, accidentally added it to my romance bookshelf because I clicked without thinking. Feel free to ignore that.

D'awl. Just lovely.
6378798 When is filly Twilight not lovely?
6378962 I can't think of any time...
Amazing. Simply amazing! Very touching, sad, and heartwarming
You have a like and a fav! Also...
This line alone is enough for me to fav this story! I shivered once I read it! Well done! Very well done!
I know this is Twilight and Celestia but I got major Celestia and Luna feels. My favorite type of feels. I love the residual sadness and sorrow from these sisters and I love stories that explore those feels. Well done friend. Well done.
.... If you are unable to be spotted in a castle where it's supposed to be the most secure place on the entire planet, AS A FILLY, that's not something to be proud of, and Celestia seriously needs to do something about that.
Maybe in a alternate universe.
