Celestia and Luna have their fair share of secrets. Let's face it, everypony does. The only problem is, their secrets could have cost Equestria, and indeed, the entire world. But what happens when the secret gets out? What happens when the general public is made aware of the lurking threat held so close to the hearts of these supposedly benevolent rulers? To prevent mass hysteria, Celestia conducts and interview with the press, to let them know all that they ever wanted to know. About Luna. About Celestia. About the Royal Equestrian Family.
Chapters (1)
Interesting, but I think it needs to be expanded upon. As a oneshot, it lacks any sort of 'punch' or gravitas. Could be an interesting experiment in world-building, but still, a bit lacking. Plenty of unanswered questions to boot.
Hmm. Intriguing. May have to add those names to my head canon.
i was kind of expecting at the end
"oh the last alicorn listed? Lets say she's VERY close to me
"
Hmm... is Twily little princess unknown? Or am i guessing wrong?
more good than bad in Equestria... what could happend ? hehe
great read
Always good to read a mythology story. I really think you should turn this into an epic or something.

I wrote this story when I was supposed to be asleep...
Just like I'm writing this reply when I'm REALLY supposed to be sleeping...
So it may be a little harebrained, and was originally intended to be much longer.
In fact, I may turn this into a full story, much like I did with "Rainwater Martini"
But I normally write clop (See my other, more extensive works) so... Yeah... First and one shot for many things. Like absence of sex.
902788
haha wellcome to the club than @.@ hope rainwater martini is a bit higher on the priorty list
So wait.. when twilight is using her element of magic, shes basicly the key to releasing Ephemira?
Great world building! I enjoyed reading this.
i like it! wouldn't mind seeing this expanded a little but don't stress yourself over it
it was great and Conquest would approve (not sure how he feels about being rehabititated)
Um... "genetic defaults"?
How about "genetic defects".
903197
I'll fix that. Thanks for pointing it out.
Technically, Ephemira exists in all the magic across all of the world. She's embodied in the element of Magic, but exists in every spell, every bit of levitation, in everypony's heart, mind, and soul.
903990
Dammit, you're right
905714
You're welcome.
Very interesting concept. Definitely expand on it, but maybe in a different story. Let this one be a sort of detatched prologue.
In the list, it says Luna is the 'Star Escort' but later it calls her the 'Moon Escort'.
908068
I had a line of reasoning for this... But I can't remember what it was...
OH!
Luna also guides the stars across the sky... And the moon is... Kind of close to a star? I guess? I can't remember exactly why I put star/moon instead of just keeping them the same... Grr.
oddly reminiscent of the lore of the elder scrolls in addition to the greek pantheon
945762
I draw a lot of inspiration from greek mythology. Perhaps not directly, but I'd like to think there is an alicorn or "Royalty" assigned to everything that is timeless and true throughout Equestria.
This would be a really, really good story if expanded beyond this. Also, I could see this becoming a Twilacorn story like expectations or such and it could be very, very good.
If such was the situation, would Twilight be the Alicorn of the Stars? the sun and moon are represented and they have escorts, but the stars aren't represented. Also, if romance was added, whomever was Twilight's companion would be her Escort eventually. I'd love to just blab some more ideas on how this could come to be if you were interested.

The idea is buzzing about in my head, and I very well may expand on it in the future. However. I'm suffering behind a bit of a block, and quite a few requests for my other work as well. I know where I would like to go with this story, and I've got it noted, so I needn't worry about losing the idea. But I won't re-visit this for a while.
980150
Oh, alright. I do think this one does deserve some more attention thoguh, it has so much potential.
980299
I've an idea with a story I actually wrote a while ago. It involves Luna's sentence on the "Moon," and another, younger Alicorn. It, too, is written down, and will more than likely be addressed in the future. I'll get around to it, just not very soon is all.
980315
That sounds really good too. I've just got a special love for Twilacorn stories.
980355
Alas, Alicorns are made or born, not shaped from ponies who exist. While I hold a certain place in my heart for Biologic Orthodoxy's Field Notes series, I won't be making Twilacorn stories. Well... Maybe a separate story in the future, but yeah... Not this time, I'm afraid.
980360
XD but this one leaves such a good foundation! And if they're made, why not make them out of a pony? Or a golem as Twilight has been known to be on occassion.
980372
It's... Well, the King and Queen in the story forge alicorns from nothing but pure magic. As such, they're both incredibly rare and take centuries to even complete making. Realistically, Twilight would die in the process of being converted to an Alicorn. If not for the intense magics pulling her body, her very soul, apart and re-piecing it together, she'd pass from old age at the time it'd take. Celestia is (What'd I say, 8k years old?) And she's still REALLY young for an Alicorn. A child, really.
980393
True but Twilight is the element of magic thus a raw conduit for magic. Second Celestia said the unnamed one was so new she didn't even know anything about the alicorn other than that it exists. So what if Twilight was that Alicorn plopped down in a different form until she reached some sort of milestone/trigger.
Celestia I feel like I'm being rude even if I was enjoying this discussion, tell me if you don't want to keep this up.
980409
*Shrug* I don't think it matters.
Twilight may be a user of the element of magic, but she isn't the element itself. That would be (Insert princess name here, I'm too lazy to scan the chapter for it) so... Yeah... Twilacorn fics are awesome, and I love them, but this isn't one of them.
980415
*Huffs in disappointment* Oh fine, no Twilacorn story. I still make my point that this is a good way to start one, even if I was slightly incorrect about the elements of harmony.
980432
*Shrug* No issues. Ever since I read Field Notes on Alicorn Reproductive Behavior, I've been picking at the idea of writing one. I'm still toying with the idea, but I don't have anything substantial yet.
Hay juice... I imagine that isn't very refreshing
Lol, you used tobias... for knowledge
I'm with everyone else in that this could be a story if you write it out a bit and, you know, add a plot.
This can be a "Twilacorn" story, if nothing else, because we all know that Twilight is overpowered, and does whatever the fuck she wants too
so yeah, I would like to read more... but I want a sexy changeling war first
(that line - if I were to say it anywhere but the internet - would make me seem less than sane)

This, along with the follow-up to Rainwater Martini, are like...
At the BOTTOM of my priority list.
Honestly, I just put it out there so I'd have it down somewhere. A reference, of sorts. I wrote this at 10AM, which is WAY past my bedtime, after a long, long shift...
Just read this, guess we now who who Alicorn 23 is eh?
2063790 No. As in Melody's Tales, Twi could be the physical incarnation of Ephimra.
I knew Equestria was dangerous. Nice story.
Quite nice idea.
Nitpick:
- my sister and me
And maybe one or three fewer "myself(s)" ...
