This a story once told before, about a Princess who died long ago, and was replaced by her closest friend. How did this friend become so? How was her true identity revealed to her student? And why, oh why, did she risk her own life?
This is the story of Queen Crystalia and Princess Celestia, sisters by all but blood.
This is how they became friends, how they were torn apart, and how one of them nearly gave their own life so that the other might live.
This is the promise that Crystalia made, and the promise she swore to keep.
Inspired by Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen by vren55
Based, in part, off the original The Promise by yours truly.

I looooooove how clear your points from the original are now. I can't wait to read more ^^

I'm glad that this new and improved version already does make the core concept much clearer, as was the aim of this new version.

Nice reveal there.

Nothing like throwing caution to the wind and saying to the world 'Here I am, world.' Am I right?
6239335 Agreed, best way to reveal yourself without many issues unlike the last reveal for her. Had things gone differently at that time then worst case scenario, she'd probably be near-death while Celestia would never be revived as the ponies try to look for her not believing her to be dead. That it's a trick or something. Lets all be glad things happened as they should've huh?

I agree there. If things didn't ALL go according to plan, NOBODY would've know that Celestia had died. The next chapter mention a few things that relate to a.....simpler time.
6241360 Indeed and all kinds of chaos would ensure.

Indeed.
I would have like to have a little more back story , when Celestia was growing up with Crystallia.

I might do another story concerning that.
