(A distant, stand-alone prequel to The Bridge, but not a crossover).
Alicorns. In the modern era of Equestria it's seen as an ideal. After all, 1,000 years of benevolent rule by Princess Celestia lead to prosperity. Her image, and by growth, the image of those like her, became one of beauty, power, heroism, and achievement. But long before a mysterious pegasus named Cadance and a unicorn magus called Twilight were elevated to such a station, before the fall and exile of Nightmare Moon, the existence of such beings was untrodden ground.
Until, that is, two infants were discovered in the Everfree Forest not long after Equestria itself was founded. What does an alicorn mean to a society that invented such beings as an ideal rather than reality?

Wholesome and promising. Have a mustache
I couldn't help but think of this.
As usual my friend. You never disappoint:) It's been a very long time. How have you been?
This is so adorable. I love how Starswirl is making such a dedicated effort to learn parenting and provide comfort and love to the two young Princess who are the very first of their kind. Definitely one of the fluffiest chapters, Tarb. Great job.
Yes to Starswirl trying to be a good parent and teaching the Princesses to be the best them and nothing more.
That.....was adorable.
I need to remember to ask for something better my next birthday.

Thanks! I got some of the idea from a MHA clip you once sent me of All Might. And feel free to drop me an idea any time buddy, even if I can't do it, I can always keep it tabbed for idea mining :)

I.....don't remember sending you any clips of All Might. Plus, this was Tem's gift. Then again, I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast.
Thank you for this masterpiece
Such a sweet moment in their childhood. Well done, Tarb.
Shaving protons, neutrons and electrons off a higher element to make a lower one, then recombining them as alchemical waste products. Clever.
Also, tiny Celly and Lulu are adorable.
Nice papa Starswirl. We need more of this.
This is just to adorable and sweet. Now all I can think about is Luna wrapping herself up in Starswirls beard. Lol. And did the girls manage to go the next 364 days without blowing up the lab a 2nd time?

Hahaaaa!.......... Nope!
As I've said before when you first showed me this. I think this is cute. And I especially liked the visual of Starswirl reading "Even dummies can be parents!"
