I was looking out the window from the hospital bed. Looking out to see the sunrise, I always loved how the sun shines, just taking away all the darkness. Not that I hated the night. No, it was only the darkness and loneliness that came with it. I was sitting there thinking of how long I have been here, trying to get that help they say I need, saying ‘they are trying to fix me’ and all, but I am just too broken. I can thank my so-called family for that one. I am what you would call a particular case. I was not like everyone else. My father is a military man, so everything needs to go after him, so he has always been after me, beating me too when things did not go his way. My mother was not any better. I mean, what mother would just stand there looking at their kid, getting beaten while looking disappointed at me as if I did anything wrong. Like my sister, she was the star of the family. She has everything, but she still needs to bully me, take my things, and blame things on me. She is not even in the military. And my father is okay with that, but I have to listen to what he says. I just don’t want to, I just wish to use my head to fantasize, and make stories, but my family has ruined that. Well, they were not the only ones, though. No, the kids also bullied me in all the schools I went to, be it just random kids with problems or my sister’s friends. They both took my stuff, broke them, threw them away, or just embarrassed me. The teachers were no help either. Well, at least my family can’t touch me here, or to be more specific, my father can’t touch me here. After I had enough, I went to get help, my father was arrested, and my mother and sister were playing the victim card, saying they were scared. And Many other lies. That also got me into this place like a crazy person. Maybe I am. After all this reminiscent of why I am here, I forgot to tell you who I am. So rude of me even though I don’t want the name anymore. My name is Michael Jones, and I am 21 years old human male. My thought was interrupted by the door opening. I turned my head to face it and saw a nurse enter the room. I smiled at her. She was the nurse I talked to the most. She was nice to talk to and to listen to. She was your average nurse, so not much there. My thought was again interrupted. This time it was because the nurse spoke to me. “Hello Michael, how are you today?” she said with a calm tone.  “I could be better,” I said with a sad tone.  She still smiled at me “still having nightmares?” she asked. I just nodded.  “Well, it is time for your medication, and then you need to get some sleep. So even though it has not been long since the sun has just risen, it is still better to get some sleep when you have taken your medicine,” the nurse said to me.  So I took my medicine and slowly drifted off to sleep, to dream about the thing I loved the most. some hours later … I woke later that night after having a nightmare again. I could tell you what it was about, but I can’t remember them. Weird as I remember most of my dreams, but the nightmare constantly changes, and I can never remember them, only fear them and wake up to them. So even if I try to talk about them, it is as if I never had a nightmare but I did. I can feel the fear, the shock, and the things that nightmares do, but I can never remember what happened in them. The only thing I remember is the dream I had before the nightmares.  Since I had a nightmare, I could not get back to sleep. I looked out the window and saw the full moon shining so beautifully in the night sky ‘maybe some fresh air can help me, get my mind straight’ i thought to myself as I reached for the button to call a nurse in. I waited a little bit, then heard the door open, and a nurse came into the room. She looked at me and smiled, though I could tell she was a little tired.  “C-can I go outside and get some fresh air?” I asked her though I was a little nervous.   “Of course, you can,” the nurse answered.  “but it is a little cold outside,” the nurse said. I just nodded at her response. I went outside and found a bench. The hospital I was in was a little high up on a hill to look over the city below, but today the moon just seemed extra bright, so I looked up at the moon. And I wished, I wished the thing I have wished for most of my life. Stepping over to the railing, I looked at the moon and wished aloud.  “I wish I could have a better life, a life where I could truly be myself, be free, be who I was meant to be, and get back what I lost,” I said to no one else but myself. After a little while, I turned around and walked back to the hospital, but not before I saw this strange light. I looked at the light, and It looked weird. I was puzzled by the peculiar light. It was mesmerizing like it was calling me, or more like it, meant something, but before I could realize what I was looking at, it was too late. Something hit me, and it hit me hard. I have never felt this much pain in my life. It was hard to focus, but as I was thrown off the cliffside, I could only remember that light, as I was slowly losing consciousness, and then nothing but darkness and unconscious I was. Equus: Equestria: Canterlot Castle: 05/08/980:CE. Celestia was standing on the balcony looking op at the moon. She knew she should have been in bed hours ago, but today was a special day. It was her sister’s birthday. “oh dear sister, I wish you were here by my side. I miss you so much," she said, tears in her eyes "happy birthday, sister,” said the solar princess with much sadness in her voice.  She has wished for many moons that her sister was here with her. That they could be a family again. “It saddens me much that I had to banish the only family I had left. I wish so much I could get that family back” she sighed, and then she heard a noise behind her. The alicorn turned around in shock as she heard something fall behind her, but what she saw was just a book lying on the floor of her room. Puzzled by this, the princess approaches the book lifting it with her magic.  She looks at the book, reading the title, ‘Creativity starts with one…’. It was hard for her to read it out, as it looked old and faded.  "Creativity starts with one... What?” she mused, still puzzled by this mysterious book. She could not sense any magic from it, so she deemed it safe to read.  She opened the book, wanting to try and read what was inside, but as she did so, a spark of magic and a white light engulfed her. Screaming in shock, the alicorn princess of the sun fell unconscious but before that. She heard a voice echo in her head. “with” was the last thing she heard as darkness overtook her. > Chapter 2: The Wish And A Delightful Surprise. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: The Wish And A Delightful Surprise. /\/???\/\ Celestia was slowly gaining conciseness. As she was waking up, she felt sick. She felt a massive headache, one that she knew but was something she has not felt in decades. Magic exhaust. But she also felt sick, a sickness she has never felt before. She was opening her eyes, only to close them again as the light in the room was too much for even her. She tried again only to squirm a little as the light assaulted her eyes. She blinked, trying to refocus on the light in the room. She was in a haze, her eyes unfocused. She tried to blink to regain her focus, but she was in such a daze that it was hard to see longer than her muzzle. Laying her head back into the pillow, and closed her eyes. Even though she could see that well, she could tell that she was in the hospital. Why she was there, she did not know. Trying to regain her senses, she opened her eyes again. This time she could see a little clearer. She was trying to collect her thoughts. She tries to remember why she would be her. Then she remembers the book and the light that engulfed her. 'one of the guards must have heard me scream' she thought to herself.  As she tried to process what had happened and why she felt sick, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door opening. In the door stood a unicorn stallion with a light brownish coat and an orange mane. He was looking at some papers he held in his magic while walking into the room.  "Doctor," the princess said, startling the stallion a little "what happened to me," she asked, looking up at the doctor. The doctor smiled at the princess, "Nothing serious, princess, you and your foal are in perfect health," the doctor said The solar princess let out a sigh, but then she realized what the doctor just said. 'f-foal, did he just say foal?'  "Did I hear you right, doctor? Did you say just say foal?" she asked, looking the doctor in the eyes. He still smiled. "Yes, your majesty, the little filly is in her late-stage. We may see her in the next two months," he said with a joyish tone. "I am delightful to say that the little princess is healthy." "But how?" the princess asked, "we alicorn can't, or should not be able to become pregnant," she said to the doctor. "Well, princess... all I can say is you a pregnant with a 6-month-old foal."  "Well, now I know why I feel sick, at least," she said, placing her head back down on the pillow, releasing her breath that she did not know she was holding. "Ah yes, morning sickness." said the doctor. "I am sorry, doctor. What is your name."  "Healing Horn, princess."  "I thank you, doctor Horn." "Just doing my job, as well as I now know this delightful news, of course, I will keep it a secret." Celestia smiled at the doctor. turning her head, she stared out the window and thought to herself. 'I am pregnant with a filly, what delightful news indeed' she thought to her self, smiling at the news, but the smile dropped as she began to think about her sister, 'oh luna I wish you were here to hear this. Oh, how you would love to hold the little thing' the thought did make her smile a little, but she still had sadness in her eyes, but that changes fast. She now has what she wished for, a family, though it was not exactly what she meant. It was just as great a thing as she always wanted to have a child. She has a long time ago tried to conceive, but it was just impossible for an alicorn. Even if they could, it was never written down. Her train of thought was interrupted by a familiar sensation. 'guess it is time to raise the sun, that also explains how long I have been asleep.' she started to get out of bed, but having a little hard time in doing so as the new wait of her belly. Finally getting on her hooves with help from the doctor, she began walking towards the window. Now standing in front of it, looking out, she began channeling her magic in her horn. Her horn started to glow golden, and after a little while, you could see the sunrise. With that out of the way, she walked back to the bed. Now back in bed smiling happily at the news, she calmed her nerves, and a new feeling was taking place on her shoulders, but this was lighter than some of the once she had before, it was pleasant, but she knew it was going to be a lot of work in the near future. "Doctor, can you call some of the servants here. I could, really use something to eat,"  "Oh, of course, your majesty," said the doctor, who later walked out of the room. Now Celestia was alone in the room, lying in bed. She was happy. She did not have to wait that long, as the door to the room opened, and in came a maid, behind the maid was a little pink alicorn, that after laying eyes on Celestia. Starting to run up to the solar princess, screaming, "Aunty! aunty Celestia, are you ok?" the little pink alicorn said with worry in her voice. "Hello Cadance, yes, I am in perfect health. It is just a combination of Magic exhaust and morning sickness, nothing serious," said Celestia in a calm and motherly tone, trying to calm the little alicorn.  The pink alicorn calmed down and smiled at Celestia, but then it changes to that of confusion. "Morning sickness? But isn't that only for ponies that are pregnant?" asked Cadance, still vary much confused. "Yes, it is. You learn well in school, I see." The pink alicorn blushed a little, looking down at the floor, "but that would mean –" she tried to say, but Celestia cut her off. "Yes, Cadance, I am now with a foal," Celestia said with a happy tone and a big smile. Cadance was surprised by what her aunt just said, but it changed to a big smile. She started to jump around screaming.  "I will have a cousin, I will have a cousin, I will have a cous-" she cut her self off  "wait, is it a filly or a colt, what is her or his name gonna be, oh I can't wait to be able to play and have fun and-" she was cut off as she heard Celestia laughing. "Hehe, Please calm down, my niece." "Eh, oh, sorry, was just happy." "that is ok I am happy too. To answer your questions, it is a filly, but I have not thought about a name yet."  She put her hoof to her chin and started to think of a name. Cadance did the same. They both were in deep thought when Cadance screamed out, "Aha! I have an idea. Since you rise the sun, you could call her Delight, as she also makes us both happy." Celestia thought about that. It was a good name. She then thought back to the book that started this 'Creativity starts with one wish' she thought, she also made a mental note to look at the book again. "Creative Delight," Celestia said. For her, it felt so right to call the still unborn filly that. "Yes, Creative Delight is going to be her name," said Celestia with a proud and happy tone. Cadance then looked at Celestia's belly and smiled. "Hello, Creative Delight, I can't wait to meet, my name is Mi Amore Cadenza, but you can just call me Cadance." said the little pink alicorn with a giggle. Celestia smiled. It has been a long time since she has been this Happy. Now all she can wait for is her little Creative Delight. > Chapter 3: A Delightful Announcement. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3: A Delightful Announcement. Celestia was walking down to her champers. She is glad to be out of the castle’s medical wing. There is a lot of things that need to be done. First, she needs to find Raven Quill, so tell her that she needs to prepare a room for a little filly, as well as to get books on how to raise the said foal.  Second, she needs to tell the public and handle all the uproar that comes with it. She knew that is going to give her a headache. Third, she needs to find both teachers and foalsitter, as she would not have time for the little foal because of her royal duties, this saddens her little, but she was still more than happy.  She was now in front of the door to her champers. Two guards were standing outside the door. She looked at one of them, "What's your name, my little pony?" She said with her motherly tone and smiled at the soldier. "Dark Strikes, your majesty," he said She smiled at him with her well-known smile "well, Mr. Strikes, can you go and find Raven Quill and send her my way. she asked the guard pony  "Right away, Princess," said Strikes as he left the side of the door. Celestia opened the door to her chambers. The first thing she notices was the book that was lying in the middle of the room, 'probably left from when I lost consciousness,' she thought to herself.  Though she has maids that clean her room, they don't move anything as it may or may not be important. She closed the door behind her and picked the book up. The first thing she notices is that the book looks cleaner than it did before. She could read the name of the book this time. 'This is ord,' she thought, confused. She lifted the book with her magic and placed the text on the desk, wanting to read it while waiting for Raven Quill. She needed to get ready for the upcoming events that will take place in a few months. Celestia was reading. She was utterly confused about the context of the book but more like what it was telling. ' the pony that made this book must had some screws loose or something,' she mused.  Her reading was interrupted by a knock at the door. Celestia popped her head up from the book, closing it on the process while marking where she left off for the next time.  "come in."  The door creaked open slowly with a soft tone. Greyish-silver coat and a purple maned unicorn mare walked into the room. She has a black feather and a scroll on both sides of her flanks. This was Raven Quill Celestia's right-hoof mare. "Sorry for the delay, princess, but I was a little busy with other duties," "It is quite alright, Raven. I did call for you on your day off. I hope it did not interrupt anything," asked Celestia with a calm smile. "On the contrary, you saved me. The foals can be a hoofful sometimes," said quill with a tone that sounded intelligent. She was a calm and collected mare for her young age, that is.  "did I now" mused Celestia. "Well, I have some wonderful news for you if you have not heard it already."  "I don't think I have. What is this wonderful news?" asked Raven, a little puzzled by what she said  "then you may need to sit down for this one." Raven moved over to one of the empty cushions and sat down. “Alright, princess, so what is this Wonderful news?” asked Raven, now curious to what the solar monarch wanted to say. “I’m Pregnant.”  Raven Quill froze in surprise at what she was just told. ‘WHAT!?!’ she screamed internally. Though the only words she could muster “w-w-what... but i... but... what?” she was very confused by what the princess has just told her, but then she went normal. “Good one, Princess *giggling* you got me there” she then looked up at the princess, hoping there was the smile of victory that the princess always wears after a prank, but all she got from said alicorn was a motherly smile, the one she always wears that makes ponies feel safe. This makes Raven Quill go wide-eyed. “Is it true, your not pulling my leg here.” “no, it is true I am now with a foal.” “I... Eh... I mean, congratulations, princess, but I am just confused and sorry if I go over my boundaries, but how?” “Last I knew, alicorns can’t or could not get pregnant,” said Raven Quill. “Calm down, Raven Quill, there is nothing wrong with being curious, but even I don’t know how or why. Only a hypothesis.” “I was on the balcony looking at the moon when I heard something fall behind me. That’s where I found this,” – Celestia is holding the book in her magic, floating it towards Raven Quill. Raven took ahold of the book with her magic looking it over.  – “When I looked it over, there was nothing magical about it until I open it that's when I lost conciseness, and that’s when I wake up and” – she points to her belly – “this has happened.”  Raven Quill, still holding the book, looked back at the white alicorn, then back at the book contemplating the things she was just told. “so let me get this straight... you just got pregnant from a *pff* a book,” Raven Quill burst into laughter. “When you put it like that, then I guess so,” mussed the solar alicorn. “Now, I least hope you know what I need you to do,” “Sorry, sorry, princess, but it just sounded funny, but yes, I believe I know what you need. You would need books on how to take care of foals. I will also find a nanny for the little one for when you are doing your duties. Is there anything else you need?” “Yes, I would also like to get a full magical scan from the mages. I need to be 100% sure that I am okay, so if you can set up a meeting, that would be nice. A nanny is a good idea did not think about that. We should also set up a time for a public announcement for this too.  “Right away, princess.” Raven Quill sat up from her cushion, bowed to the solar alicorn, and left the room.  The door closed behind Raven Quill with that Celestia was now alone in her champers with her thoughts. She looked at the clock. It was 2:00 PM ‘I guess an early lunch is in order. Now that I also have two mouths to feed, I guess I can eat a little more cake. That way, the little one can get an early taste for it’ She giggled at herself from the last part. Celestia was walking down to the kitchen with a spring in her step, humming happily to herself. Then she stopped. She Stopped in front of a painting. Then a tear fell from the princess's cheek. This was the only painting of her sister after the incident. “One day... One day, Luna, Then we can be even more of a family... I wish you could be here to watch the little one grow up. I guess I just have to take a lot of pictures and films too.” Celestia was now tearing up even more, but a growl from her stomach interrupts her. Sniffling a little, she uses her hoof to dry off her tears. She was giggling a little. “What about that cake then,” she says to her stomach. Celestia was walking down to the dining room, still a little winded of it all. She is both sad for her sister not being here and even more now that she is coming up with the little one, but also really happy that she can finally be a mother to little Creative Delight. She was now in front of the door to the dining room. With a deep sigh, she entered the room, putting on her well-knowing smile. She sat down at the table, and immediately a waiter with a menu came out and gave it to her. “Waiter, can you bring out the chef? I need to talk to him,” Said the white alicorn. “as you wish, princess,” said the waiter. He then walked out to the kitchen not long after the waiter came back with the chef. “is something the matter, your majesty?” said the chef. “Nothing is wrong, Cheese Kettle. In these coming months, I would like some food that is best suited for ponies that are with foal.”  “as you wish, Princess. I will go and make a new menu fast, and I already have something I can make for you now. Should I make the dessert extra this time while I am at it?” “Yes, please, and thank you.” “No problem, your majesty,” said Cheese while bowing, leaving to the kitchen. Celestia did not have to wait long for the waiters to come with a lot of silver platters. On them was a bunch of different food that she could take from. After eating most of the food on the table, the waiters came back with new platters that obviously had her dessert on them and left, taking the other platters with them. Celestia was in a bright mood looking at the sugary treats on the table. She was always a big fan of cake and other sweet goodness. Taking a big slice from the cakes and the other baked goods, she started to devour all the sweetness that now was in the room.  After a little while, she finished all the treats that were placed before her mercy but got non. She felt full and left the room but not before complimenting the chef for the excellent food he had made. But as the alicorn was leaving, the door opened up for Raven Quill. “Princess, I am done with making arrangements with you Announcement. And they are ready for you now if you are. That and one of our mages are ready to do your deep magic scan as well.”  “Oh, thank you as always, you are too good for this job, but I am more than happy to have you here. that you got this ready so fast.” Celestia meets with the mage outside the door, where he started doing his deep magic scan while walking down one of the hallways to the balcony. Just outside the door of the balcony. “I do not seem to see anything wrong with you, your highness.” said the mage “Well, that's a least one of my worries gone. Thank you, High Spark.” ‘Well, at least that is one of my worries now on to the next one,’ thought the white alicorn. Celestia stepped out onto the balcony. She smiled, seeing the crowd of all the little ponies looking back at her. Though with a small sadness to her, she still smiled her best. “Ponies of Equestria. I have some Joyish news. For you see, my little ponies, I am now pregnant with Equestria newest princess. I am happy to say this to you all, but it also means that I may not be able to do court in the same way as before, so in these coming months, I hope that you would think about what is more important for me to hear or what other authorities can help you with.” After the shocking news got absorbed by the masses, most ponies started to cheer and scream. You could hear the different cries of the ponies. The likes of “Long live the princesses.” and “What joyish day to be alive,” “We all wish you both well Princesses,” and so many more. Of course, there were some that were skeptical. And others that did not like this news, but also some that plans of how this filly could be used as a piece for their wealth. After a little time, Celestia left the balcony and so started ponies to scatter. With a tired smile, Celestia left the balcony. She was happy she both gets a family, but she also becomes the mother she wanted to be so many years ago. But as she already knows, alicorns can’t get pregnant, or if they can, no one knows how. One month later Celestia was sitting on her throne and was listening to ponies who either complained or needed help. “I need your help, princess, with this very significant problem. You see, I need to get something built, and I do have money, but there is a building in the way. This building is an orphanage called playful. it is very much in the way for the extension to my house, and I would –” “I need to stop you there. It is only a month since I said that you should think of something important if you have anything for court. Have you already forgotten that?” Asked the Alicorn with an irritated tone, it did not help with her morning sickness and her getting heavier from her stomach. “But your majesty, it is very much important for –” “SILENCE! This is not important at all. Actually, it is, as I now know, that you are not worthy of your title or riches. but are only a greedy and incompetent little fool.” She was getting angry. She could see that the guy must now be in a cold sweat. “GET OUT NOW, OR I WILL THROW YOU IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU BELONG!” Celestia was angry at the audacity of somepony, even ignoring what she said even if a month had passed. “Are there others that have matters like that?” asked the solar alicorn. At least ten other ponies left the room. While the rest stayed hoping to get the much-needed advice while some also came to congratulate the solar monarch. This, on the other hoof, did make Celestia smile. Until the last pony. As day court was at its final hour, the last pony came up and said something she would not tolerate. “Congratulation, your highness. It is a very joyish occasion to live in this time where I hear the news of you getting a foal. And a filly non-the-less” – Celestia raised her eyebrow. –  “And I would like to say that maybe we could arrange someone like your daughter to marry into some noble families. somepony like mine.” this made Celestia angry than before and with her new hormones from her pregnancy. “so you want to marry my daughter to your family before she is even born, even before she gets a chance to say yes or know, is that what you are asking?” “y- yes, your highness, that is what I mean, yes” he felt like to room just got hotter. “then I will say no. you want to take freedom away for somepony not even born. Are you even worthy of me, then who do you think your family is? They are not even worthy of my daughter other than when she chooses you. The court is done goodbye. I have tea and food ready for me, so have a natural day today.” she said. After this day, non of the nobles would ask for an arranged marriage and even less for incompetent things. As they did not want to feel the wrath of not an alicorn princess, neither a mare, but because she was a mare that was with foal and was an alicorn. A combination that sounds like the worst monster of Tartarus.  Days went by with less trouble from the ponies. The court was held less and less with Celestia as the host and more with some trusted associates. As Celestia, though, was an alicorn so was stronger and could walk around longer, even in her late stage of pregnancy. Are still getting harder for even her. Now with less than a month left. Both the strain from her physical condition but also from the anticipation of holding her daughter. And so Celestia used her times to read in a room near the castle’s medical wing for emergencies. 3:26 PM 20/10/980 CE. Loud screaming could be heard throughout the castle from its medical wing. In there was the solar alicorn giving her all. Doctors and nurses were there to help if anything went wrong. Outside the room was a pink alicorn just waiting for it all to end. And then the screaming stopped, and in its stead came the crying of a newborn foal. The door opened up, and Cadence went over to Celestia, who was now holding the foal in her hoofs with a happy smile and tears down her cheeks. “I never thought I would ever hold my own foal in my hoofs.” the white alicorn sniffled. Trying to get her tears out of her eyes. the pink alicorn looked at the foal tucked in a little blanket, sleeping. “She is beautiful. Can I hold her?” asked the little alicorn. Celestia smiled “of course, you can hold her like this” Celestia showed her how and gave her new daughter over to her adopted niece. The foal opened her eyes, looking up at Cadence, then over to her mother and back to the pink alicorn. She then started giggling and making baby noises. “aren’t you just a cute little cousin.” “that she is. She is my little Delight,“ –  Celestia looked at her foal and smiled, tears starting building up ”aren’t you? My little Creative Delight.” > Life Anew: Part 1: Day of Birth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life a New: Part 1: Day of birth 3:26 PM 20/10/980 CE. I was awoken with the shock of feeling alive again or from getting forced to wake up. I did not know what had happened when I fell. I can only say I was crying uncontrollably, and I couldn’t control the rest of my body either. But just as fast as I felt alive, I could feel something wrap around me, and then I heard a heartbeat. It was calming, and I think I dozed off a little. I woke again, this time from hearing someone else's heartbeat. I then opened my eyes to see what had happened, only to stare up at the weirdest thing ever. it did not look scary or anything. Actually, it looked kind of cute. She, well, it looked like a she. She was pink. She also had a horn, guess she was a unicorn. It started to talk, but as I could analyze from the situation, I was just a newborn, or they were very big, but I will take the former. I could in some way understand her, but her words did not give any meaning. The only thing I did I just started to laugh. As I did so, I heard someone to the left of me. She was much, much bigger than the pink one. She, too, had a horn guess she also a unicorn. the pink one gave me to the white one, and I could hear this calming heartbeat again. ‘Maybe she is my mother,’ I thought as to why else would her heart be this calming. I looked up at the horse, which I believe is my new mother, and saw her smiling down at me with a tear falling down her cheek. I tried using my arms or, should I say, legs. I stretch my new appendages op to her face. She leaned forward with her mussel trying to nuzzle me only to get bopped on the nose by two hoofs, and I started giggling at the face she made. She went in again, me now holding on to her muzzle. She was very affectionate towards me. I must have fallen asleep again as I woke out of my mother’s arms and into a crib with some new horses around me who were making the noises that awoke me.  I was about to cry until I saw Mother smiling at me, then I began walking… crawling? Well, I began to move towards her only to fall, then start flying in the air, and me, the foal that I now am, just started laughing. As I was moving through the air, I had turned upside down, so when I was in front of my mother, I could only see her standing on the roof. I looked at my mother to see her with a big smile, the kind you would have looking at your kids doing something weird but funny. I started to laugh at her, moving my hoofs towards her, trying to get closer to her. She floated me onto her back. I was starting to feel sleepy again and finding a good spot. I laid myself to sleep on the back of my new mother. POV: Celestia. I was so happy to hold my daughter in my hoofs that I was so close to crying. She was so adorable just sleeping in the blanket, only getting a very tiny horn to stick out with some turf of hair. She was cute and almost as pink as Cadence. Her turf of hair was magenta with small stripes of blue magenta. “She is beautiful. Can I hold her?” I hear from my side, seeing that the voice came from my niece. I smiled at her. “Of course, you can, hold her like this.” I showed her how to hold the little one. While Cadence held the foal, she opened her eyes, looking up at Cadence, then over to me. I got a little surprised that she had two different eye colors. One was the same as mine, while the other was a light cyan a little like Luna’s. She was still very adorable. She then looked back to Cadence and started giggling and making baby noises. ‘I think I have gotten too much sweet today just from that,’ I thought to myself. “Aren’t you just a cute little cousin.” I hear my niece. Getting her back into my hoofs. “That she is. She is my little Delight,“ –  I looked at my foal and smiled, tears starting building up ”aren’t you? My little Creative Delight.” She stretches her hoofs up to my face. So I leaned forward, trying to nuzzle her only to get bopped on the nose by two small hoofs, and I could hear her giggle from it. I went in again, nuzzling her little cheeks. I could see her start to yawn. It was adorable to look at, and she began to fall asleep again in my hoofs. A doctor and some specialized mages came into the room. “Good evening, doctor.” I smiled at him holding my now sleeping, little filly. “Good evening, your majesty. I have brought some mages to scan the little one if there is any abnormality.” “Alright, doctor,” I said, trying to get off the bed. I gave Creative to one of the nurses. She was still sleeping soundly even after she was placed in a crib. The mages then start to do their scans, talking with each other and the doctor. After 15 minutes, my daughter started to move. She then began to wake up. I could see she was beginning to cry while looking around, so I began to move a little closer, hoping she saw me. She did see me and started to walk over to me, only to fall out of the crip. I grabbed her with my magic, levitating her over to me. She began to laugh, moving around. When I had a just in front of me, she was all upside down giggling. ‘Again, I think I am getting a toothache,’ i thought, looking at her. I then moved her onto my back and carried her to bed. It must be late for her after all. > Life Anew: Part 2: The First Birthday Party. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life a New: Part 2: The First Birthday Party. The Next Day: 21/10/980 CE. PoV: Celestia. The party was set up for my daughter. A lot of guests came to meet the newest princess of Equestria. I can understand why they want to meet her. She is such a little cutie. ‘I think I am going to be a doting mother. Not like that is a bad thing anyway.’ I thought to myself. I can see Creative Delight over at the play area together with Cadence. They were playing with some of the new toys. I could see her playing with the plushie that I have gotten her. It was a cute little dog stuff animal. she seemed to love it right when I gave it to her. ‘I may end up spoiling her too much.’ Not much happened other than some guests saying their congratulations to me and wishing me and the filly well. ‘I hate that I have to do this formality, as I just want to be with my foal instead of hearing this and that from nobles.’ I thought but was interrupted by a voice. “Good afternoon, princess.” I heard a voice turning around to see a familiar face. “Good afternoon, Sir Fancy Pants. It’s so good to see you. How is your father doing?” “He is doing good for now, but I will sadly have to see he may not live another year. If we are lucky, he may live a little longer. And please, your majesty, call me Fancy Pants. Sir goes to my father.” “I am sad to hear this. I do wish him well. We are losing a good stallion too early.” – I looked to the side of him and saw another pony. She looked younger them him. – “And who is this?” I asked “Ah yes. This here is my fiance Fleur De Lis, and I know what you think, princess, and yes, she is younger than me. She comes all the way from Prance. It was love at first sight, I tell you.” he smiles at the shy-looking mare. Who smiled back at him. “Well, glad to meet you, and congratulations to the both of you.” “Thank you, your majesty. But we are not here for us. We are here for you, and you’re little one. So where is she? We have some gifts for her.” “Ah, Yes, She is just right over there. Playing with Cadence.” Just as a point my hoof over where my daughter is, I see a white blur go by. “Isn't she just adorable?” I see her by my daughter hugging her. I was about to step in as it looked like she spooked her. But then she started to laugh. “Here you are, Mon Ami. This is for you” –  she floats a bag over to her with two blue ribbons in them. –  “No, not like that. Maybe I got them a little too big.” “Hahaha,” I giggled, “It is fine, miss Lis. She will grow into them.” The Next Day:  21/10/980 CE. PoV: Creative Delight. I played with the pink horse with the toys I have gotten from what I could only guess was my birthday. At least it looked that way and that I had to open gifts or well I did not open them more like shown than your mother opens it or who I think is my sister. I don’t really know if she is, but she has the same pink fur as myself, so I think we are sisters, but I saw another horse walking by who also pink coat, so I can’t really say. I also got to see that my mother and maybe sister have wings. So they are either winged unicorns, horned pegasus, pegacorn, Unipeg, Alicorn, or Alaricorn. They are all the same, and I don’t know what their term would be yet. Maybe none of them. They could have a whole new word for it. I am still playing with my stuffed animal. It was a dog I got from my mother, and it was a white dog that looked just adorable. I loved it right away. I also gave it the name Max. when my mother gave it to me and accepted it, she was so happy I thought I even saw a flash, but I did not care. I hugged the damn thing as if it would vanish any second. So now I am playing with it and some other of my new toys. I still only had the motor control that of a newborn, but it was easier to learn to control them as my mind was older. I was so happy to have what I never thought would be possible. Having a mountain of toys and gifts. At least it was a mountain for me. I see the pink horse signalling me to come over to her by saying, “come here,” at least I think she does. So I started to move over to her. I was what I believe was halfway or she may have moved closer to me herself. As I was moving closer to my maybe sister, I was taken by surprise by finding myself in someone’s white coat. I was about to cry but stopped as I thought this was just my mother. But then I was placed on the ground, and I saw it was a different horse. She then opens a bag, and two blue ribbons floated out and placed on top of me. They did make it hard for me to walk, and they were kind of heavy too, but well, they did not hurt. The new horse floated in a mirror in front of me, and I stared at it a little too long. It was just weird seeing how you look, and you look different from how you did before. But hey, not like that matters anymore. I like super cute now. I started to yawn ‘well, guess it is nap time.’ > Life Anew Part 3: A Mother’s Warmth. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life Anew: Part 3: A Mother’s warmth. A Month Later? I don't know how long I have been here, but it feels like a month has happened, but it is a little hard to tell with all the naps I have taken. Even though I don’t understand anything, I have at least learned that certain sounds are names, at least I think so. My big sister is called Caydanse, and my mother is called Cellesteaah. I have tried to talk or say things, but just baby words come out of me, but I definitely need to learn to say mommy as my first word. uh, the look on my mother’s face when I say that will be priceless. Oh yeah, I also did see myself in a mirror. I was pink, as I already knew from the fur on my legs and hoofs. I also have some red-ish frickles or dots or whatever they are called on a horse. I had pink-ish hair with some cyan-blue-ish highlights or stripes. My eyes were two different colors. One was, I think, pink or magenta, the other was cyan or light blue. And not to get egotistic, but I did look adorable. It is kind of weird to be a newborn of a different species, but somehow it was even more peculiar that I knew how to do things I should not know or be even possible, like how to grab things with my hoofs or the walking. It’s just natural to me, and when I think about it, it’s even more strange that I am so calm about it, but well, it’s a better life than the one I lived before. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw my mother standing on the balcony. I started making noises to get her attention. “blah gugu, mah,” that did not work. I tried a little louder, but still no effects. I could feel that my sadness was building up ‘no, don’t cry, me, don’t, it’s not that bad,’ I thought to myself, trying not to cry and failed as I release a mighty cry that a baby my size could make. “WAHHA!” I screamed as my own feeling becomes unresponsive to my own will. I hear hoof steps walking over to me as I still try to get my sense of control back. “Oh, what is wrong, little one?” Said my mother as her magic engulfs me and lifts me up and over to her. “are you hungry” she asks as she has me in her hoofs. I start to only sniffle, gaining a bit of control as I look up at her and see her big magenta eyes looking at me with the most profound worry I have ever seen on anyone, and that worry is directed at me. Me, of all people, my own mother, never looked at me with this much worry. No, this was a genuine worry for me, with the most honest of both concern for me and love, and I could feel that warmth coming from her. Just before losing my control again, I shook my head, telling her I was not hungry. I started to cry a little again as I looked up to my loving new mother. But stopped instantly as I looked up at her smiling a warm, loving smile, her eyes still with the same worry, but it was now behind the warmth and calmness they gave. I calmed down as my mother was humming and cradling me in her arms, hoofs..? legs? Anyway, here I was, getting more love in what felt like an hour than what I got for twenty-plus years. My mother looked down at me again, as I have calmed down. As I have not fallen asleep, my mother took me in her magic and placed me on her back. She started to walk outside on the balcony. She then looked over her shoulders to me, saying things to get my attention that she also got. She then pointed at the sky, and I looked at the dark shining sky that was overhead. It was better than anything I have seen on earth. No, it was so much more. It was a sight to behold. The air was cold but not chilly, as the warmth from my mother kept it away. The stars were shining with such magnitude. The moon was much bigger or closer to us than back in my world. It also has a silhouette of what looked like a unicorn in it, but it was still beautiful. My mother took me in her magic and laid me on a pillow as she lay just beside me. Moving closer to her body as we both stargaze at the perfection that was the night sky. POV: Celestia. I looked down at the small sleeping form that was my daughter and smiled. She was so adorable to think I am a mother now to such a cute little pony. Even after all the things I have done, do I really deserve this happiness? I looked back up to the moon, back to my sister. Even though I wanted to cry, I could not as I was too happy with the little fluffiness of cuteness that was beside me. And just as I was thinking that she was staring with a smile on her face. It was hard for me not to scream ‘aww’ at her, but I somehow fought back. I kind of wonder what she is dreaming about. It has only been a week, and she has already brought me more happiness than I deserve. I am gonna be a good mother this time as I could not be a better sister back then. I think to myself as I look back up at the stars and moon that were just so magnificent, one of the few things I now have left of my sister. After a little time, I got up and picked up my daughter and put her back into her crip as I lay in the pillow-bed that was just beside her. Looking at my daughter just one last time just before sleep takes over me, and with a satisfied smile, I fall asleep, letting the dreamscape take me. > Life Anew: Part 4: Crystallized Water > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life Anew: Part 4: Crystallized Water Time has been going both slow and fast. Slow, when I am awake, and I don’t do anything and fast when I either play with my sister or mother or when I am asleep. I still don’t know how long it has been, and that can be really frustrating. I have really forgotten the feeling of wanting to grow up faster. Today I was sitting on a pillow with my sister. Her holding a book in front of me. It was a small and colorful picture book with pictures of letters and numbers.  My sister was saying things, probably trying to teach me what these means or what these pictures are. Probably my immature mind that makes it so fun. I have also tried my best to learn how to talk while I was awake with nothing to do. So this book is kind of helpful together with my sister. They have tried a lot to get me to talk and telling me things. I don’t know how intelligent their newborns are. But if I learn to speak faster... then will I become a genius? A sound to my right gets my attention. I smiled at who it was, seeing that it was my mother. She had a bag with her. Something that looks like it was made out of paper. It looked like a shopping bag. She places it down on the floor and takes out what looks like a little blue and pink winter hat and a small pink and blue striped scarf. Both things seem to be the same color as my hair but reversed. My mother lifts me up with her magic, and I start to giggle. Don’t why, but I just love it to be floating in the air, and somehow it’s just enjoyable. Anyway, she lifts me up and starts putting my hat and scarf on me and then places me on her back.  Mother says something, but it did not feel like it was directed to me, so I just ignore it and start playing with my mother’s hair. Her hair is beautiful and kind of fun as it is moving on its own. I can only guess it’s magic that makes it do that.  I see my sister out on her own winter get up. We go to the kitchen to pick up a picnic basket. We then leave and goes outside where what looks like a chariot is waiting for us with two pegasi in the front to pull it. As we got on it, I get a big surprise when they started to move and then lift off. My eyes were wide as we were flying in the air. I was looking around with such curiosity. I then heard my mother laugh as she was looking over her shoulder. I looked back at her then back at my surroundings. I saw the castle that we lived in. I saw a city I have never seen before. I saw the mountain it was built on. I saw two different forests. One was average-looking. The other felt dark. It also looked like it was darker, and I saw a town that looks like that of the middle ages. The things I saw were more significant than anything I have seen back on earth, but well, I have not been out much anyway. I have been outside in the castle garden with my mother and sister. But never outside the castle. As we were descending the mountain, I could see us getting closer to a forest. I was still awestruck as it was the first time to really get a look around this new world I find myself in. We land on a hill close to a big tree right beside this forest. Even if some trees were missing their leaves, it was still a sight to behold. It just felt so much better than nature back in my world. I look at the sky and see a lot of pegasi moving big fluffy white clouds. I hear my mother calling me, and I look to where it came from. She and my sister have placed a picnic area close to a big tree. The blanket has a roof of some kind over it.  As I play with my sister, I hear my mother calling us again. I then feel my sister’s magic engulf me and placed me on her back as she walks over to our mother. she placed me down on a pillow chair in front of mother. As I sit there, my mother says something to get my attention. I look up to her to see her pointing at the sky. I see in awe as snow is falling down from the big clouds. I could not contain my excitement as I almost fell out of my chair as I was trying to see look at the falling snow.  My mother and sister started laughing as they looked at me, trying to catch the falling crystallized water. Later my sister joined me in my playing while our mother was just watching.  After a good half hour, there was enough snow to play in, but I was still a newborn, so I started to get more and more tired. I don't remember what happened, but I woke up later that day or the next to be in my bed seeing my mother at the fire reading a book. I say some noises, and she looks over at me and smiles. I smile and giggles back and her and then yawn as I again fall asleep with a smile of content. “My first day out and my first time seeing snow in this world. What an amazing day. Good night Mommy.” I think before I go completely dark. > Life Anew: Part 5: What is this, Christmas? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life Anew: Part 5: What is this, Christmas? You know, as a foal, it’s tough to keep track of time. I mean, I don’t know what month or year we are in. but now I see that my room and all the other rooms that I have been carried to have been decorated with things that I can only call Christmas decorations. Of course, I know they don’t believe in Jesus. Maybe they do have a pony version of him in the past. How would I know I’m just a newborn foal.  Today both my Mother and Sister seem to be extremely happy. I smile and laugh at their cuteness. My mother smiles back at me with her loving gaze that I just can't get enough of. One thing I have learned is that ponies show so much love. Maybe because of their herd mentality. Like most humans have the pack mentality. If you want to know what it all means, find it out yourself, I’m not a dictionary or a knowledgeable per-pony. So what can I say? Today seems to be a special day, from what I can say from both the decor and the kind, loving smiles I get from both Mom and Sis. It could only make me happy, and I can’t wait to see what will happen with these Christmas-looking decorations. After what I can tell is breakfast, I’m placed on my mother's back and carried off to Mother knows where. We passed some guards and maids who bow and salute to at the sight of mother. One of the guards, an older-looking unicorn, smiles at me, and I smile and giggle back at him. Out of nowhere, I get my scarf around me in a poof of dim light. I hear Mother laugh at me, probably at my shocked expression. I looked up at her, still a little surprised. I see we are near a door to the outside, and I can now guess why I was being dressed in my scarf. Guards started to open the door for Mother and me and then followed us outside. I saw them follow behind us, and the older-looking guard was close to me. I stared at him. and he sometimes looked at me. It was funny to see him look from stoic to soft with a smile and back to stoic it made me giggle. He also sometimes made weird faces making me laugh even harder. One thing that has happened to me is that my mind has become so immature. I hear my mother’s laugh and hear her say something that I don’t understand. “It seems she has taken a liking to you.” I just looked up at mother in a confused state, and then I giggled. Again I have become so immature. We walked for some time and were in a town or city with many ponies looking at mother and me, some bowing to her and some even bowing to be or smiling at me. Some looked at me with a look. I can’t really tell what kind it was. Maybe they had a stomachache eat something bad. Maybe they were not even looking at me. We stopped outside of a building of a toyshop. Mother lifted me up with her magic and placed me in a super comfy chair. After that, some of the guards and the funny-faced one and mother started to show me different toys. It seems they wanted to see what toys I like or want, who knows. This went on for a little while as I played with funny-face. As we went back home, we were attacked, I would say, by a pony who at least got stopped by the guards. Though still left me crying. I could tell Mother was angry at the pony, what I could not tell what was she was saying. We made it back home after a little while. It took almost all the way to get me to calm down. As we got home, I was put in bed after getting fed by Mother. I was woken up by my mother holding me in her hoofs, smiling at me. ”Wakey wakey, My little Delight.” says Mother to me. I smile up at her and then look over to the window. I see that it is a little dark outside. She puts me on her back again and leaves the room. We walk down the hall or corridor. She then walks into a room with a fireplace where I see My sister at it with a big smile on her face. She also looks like she is trying her hardest to sit still. I was placed on a cushion beside my sister but only for a second as my sister grabbed me and hugged me. I was then placed between her legs. The room had a fireplace with a painting over it some small frames with pictures in them. And some other things around it looked like a cozy cabin with a bookshelf and some other interesting things. The room was also decorated with these Christmas decorations. I also saw a tree with this pink heart thing on top instead of a star. It even had present under it. Time went by quickly as we had eaten and sang songs and after present time. I saw mother look up at the sky with a sad look. I started to get sad too but shook it off as I wanted to get to Mother. As I wobbled over to her, I grabbed her front legs in a hug and did the unthinkable as I snuggled into her fur, tears forming, getting her fur matted. ” Mama, don’t be sad.” Is echoing in my head. I wanted to say it out loud, but the only thing that did come out was one word. “Mama” I heard a gasp come from my mother. I looked up at her and saw her with tears forming in her eyes. as my tears started to form, I again said the word “Mama,” I saw a smile adorn her face. “Mama?” Her hoofs swept me up in a Hug. “Oh, My little Delight,” she says as she squishes my head into hers and starts to muzzle my cheek. “mother loves you so much, thank you, Thank you so much. The rest that happened was blank as I think I fell asleep in my Mothers embrace. > Life Anew: Part 6: Can this even be called a Surge? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life Anew: Part 6: Can this even be called a surge? After the Christmas party, I had with my mother and sister, where I said my first word, my mother tried to teach me to say more words. And here we are in the dining hall, my mother holding me, trying to teach me a few new words. "Can you say I love you, mother?" She says to me. I have been better at understanding their words and meaning over these days and weeks after the party. Though I don't know what she is saying, I at least try to mimic it. "Wuv, Mama," I tried to say. All I heard was the sound of other ponies making weird noises, and even mother looked like she was about to faint. With a smile on her face. Were they getting a heart attack? Did I say something cute? "Mama, Love you to My little Delight," she says, nuzzling and kissing my cheek, then starting to feed me food again. Being a child had its perks, even if I'm a weird magical horse. Perks being a loving mother, a lot of love and care, great food, no hospital, and no family members that wished you just was gone. My nose started to itch. I could feel that sneeze was on the way. I began to make faces as this feeling was far weirder than as a human. I feel a weird tickle sensation on the top of my head "Achoo" I sneeze and feel a release of pressure from the place where my horn would be. I open my eyes only to see my mother covered in a weird pink and cyan layer of glitter. She looked surprised, and so am I looking at her. Like what the hell just happened. Do we sneeze glitter? I have not seen anyone sneeze before, so maybe I would not be that surprised to see it, but finding it out this way was surprising, but I am a miniature pink baby horse. I see my mother places down the spoon that is floating in her magic. She then lit her horn again, and the glitter vanished. She then calls some of the guards, but I don't know what else she says. She looks a little worried, and that makes me anxious. I started to tear up and cry because of my now immature brain and hormones. My mother was fast to pick me up, cooing and nuzzling me and shaking me in a manner most mothers do to try and calm their child down. I tried my hardest to stop crying, and I started to hold back my tears, getting a little control only sniffling here and there. When I finally calm down, I begin to yawn. My body doesn't like being overly excited, and I always feel tired after my normal baby tantrums. POV: Celestia. My child, My little Delight, was in my hoofs asleep. I look down at her with a bit of worry or a lot, but I try to be calm and rational. I have called the guards to get a doctor from the magic analyst division. I have seen many surges in my time from almost every age, but this one was a first. It came without any warning. Typically a surge builds up and can be sensed by most unicorns. I should be happy that the surge was not any worse than most surges are, but I can't help but worry as it was not a normal surge. We had her tested when she was born, and the doctors looked at her for any abnormality. None were found. So this type of surge is shocking to me, not something I have seen, heard, or read, and that is kind of scary when it is me we are talking about as long as I have lived. Knock Knock. I hear a knock at the door and turn to it and see the door open with what looks like a doctor peeking through. "Ah, Dr. Magia, glad you could come," I say with a smile. The doctor was a beige-colored unicorn stallion with an orange main. Dr. Lekarz Magia. And blue eyes. "Oh, of course, your majesty, when I heard from the guard that the little princess had a magic surge, I packed my things as fast as I could to help. I'm just glad that I was still there as most had already gone home for the day." he walked over to my child and me and looked down at the sleeping filly who I had placed in her crib. He lights up his horn, and a Greenish glow starts to surround Little Delight. I hear him hum and look at him as he is in deep thought. "Is she ok?" I ask. I tried to hide my nervousness, but it seems I failed at that even I could hear it in my voice. "She is very much fine Princess, there seems to be nothing wrong though her horn does seem to be a little too small for a normal unicorn filly," he says and starts to look around the room. "But other than that, I don't see anything else wrong. I don't even sense her surge, hmm? Weird," says Dr. Magia. "The reason may be that most of the surge went all over me," I say and teleports a big flask of magic glitter. The doctor then turns to me and takes the flask out of my magic and floats it near his face, and starts to analyze it. "interesting, the magic somehow has become a liquid-like substance. I will take it to the lab and see if there are any abnormalities to it," says Dr. Magia and starts to take some items out of his bag. Time went by while my darling Delight just slept through the test, and the doctor had gone home. So I had moved Delight and me into another room where I was just there sitting near the fireplace, looking down at my little Delight at her sleeping form. First with a bit of worry but as I hear small calm snoring from the little pink fluff my concern turned into a smile, a smile anypony can tell a mother's smile and not the same one I gave all my little ponies, no this was one of a true mothers smile. "I love you, my little Delight," I say in a whisper as I go down and nuzzle her tiny cheek. I move my hoof down to her as well as I start to pet her. I look away and look into the fire but back at her again as I feel her small hoofs wrap around mine, and she starts to suck on my hoof. My smile widens. > Life Anew: Part 7: Is this how Fire Works? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life Anew: Part 7: Is this how Fire Works? Today was a slow day, a little dull to my taste but it does beat the hospital. But being a baby or filly, in this case, does not make it easier for me as an adult. However, it's a thousand times better since I now have a caring family. I still sometimes get this fear inside myself. Will they know that I'm not normal? Well, I'm a filly now so maybe they just put it as a child's antics. But what if this is just a dream made up... I can't think like that this is real it has to be I don't want to go back to that place never ever. I'm playing with my Sister Cadance. She is the best sister one could wish for. I would have wished that my human sister would be just one-fourth of what she is. She takes things slowly and has the patience of a demi-god she is so kind only second to my mother. I have seen and heard what my mother has tolerated from some people. This one time in the throne room my mother had to take me with her after that sneeze I did, some weeks ago? Not sure how long ago but a lot of time ago. Ever since that day she has kept me closer to her she is even sleeping in my room now or vice-versa. Anyway, I see this unicorn and this pegasus arguing about who owns what, my mother, just smiles though not the same one she shows me just a normal smile. Like the kind of smile, you smile when you find an extra cookie after you thought you ate them all, and you don't want to look weird so you try to act normal about it rather than cheer. The point is that is the patience of a god if I ever saw it. I would have done something to shut them up at least nice at first and she has to do that almost all day every day. So I can understand where my sister has learned her patience from as well. I do wonder one thing though have never heard nor seen anything from my father ever. I don't hundred percent know how children are made in a magical land of horse society but I have seen Males horses, stallions I believe they are called and that them being horses a type of mammal. A male and female are needed to do the love dance and baam kids. I have been rambling on but where else can I place my thoughts then to myself?... I think I'm going crazy. I really and I mean REALLY need to learn how to talk fast. "Look over here Delight" My thoughts get interrupted as I hear my sister's voice. I look from whatever I was focused on. Seems I lost focus looking in a picture book "Whath?" "I have a Suprise for you" Cadance move over to me and takes something from her back. It's a small paper bag. I can only guess what is inside of it. She places the bag in front of me and I just look at the bag and back at her. She has a small smile on her face. I look back at the bag, she then lights up her horn making me look back at her again. I'm still in a daze from my deep thoughts. She opens the bag for me and outcomes a cookie a milk chocolate cookie. I licked my lips from looking at the big cookie it may be normal size to her but to me, it was like the biggest cookie I have ever seen. I started to drool and she giggled a little. "you seem to really want this," she says and places the cookie in my hoofs. I try to hold to it with both of my hoofs but I have a hard time holding on to it but I manage. "Today is a special day it's going to be the first time for you, So your mother is trying her best to make it a good one for you" I don't hear or understand what she is saying to me. My thoughts is on the half-eaten cookie in my hoofs that I'm trying my hardest to devour. Time slowly flies by as I play a little with my sister after the snack and some servants come to feed me food and then get put in bed as I soon get tired. I wake to my mother's gentle humming tone "wakey wakey" I hear her say as I steer from my sleep. I blink as I look up at her she just smiles her motherly and loving smile. she takes and places me in a baby chair or something like it. She then walks over to the balcony and opens the door and walks out and lights her horn. It's late and it's beginning to be darker I see my mother looking at the sky with a glowing horn and the moon slowly coming up as the sun is vanishing. I point my small little hoofs at mother trying to touch her "mama" I scream as I want to be closer to her as night surrounds us. "it's ok my little Delight, Mother is right here no need to be scared." My mother's tone does calm me as I stop struggling to get her. She now takes me with her magic and lays down on some pillows and places me in her embrace. "look to the sky My little Delight" - she hums in her gentle tone - "for tonight is going to be special." I look at the sky and I don't see anything really but then an explosion of colors happened it startled me at first but I knew right away what it was Fireworks or the magic equivalent of it. The colors were spectacular I have seen Firework at new year and it was beautiful but this was magical. Seeing the colors and the magical discharge in all kinds of forms and shapes just made my mind blank "I want to make things Just as beautiful" I thought to myself. The rest of that night was just a spur being embraced in my mother's warmth watching such a magical event was a life-changer. I slowly fall asleep and find this state of wonder "I love you Mama" I say as dreamland overtakes me. POV: Celestia. I look at my filly and see the wonders in her eyes but sleep soon overtakes her. "I love you mama" I hear her say and likes knifes it staps me in the heart of overwhelming feelings I move down to nuzzle her and whisper "I love you to my little Delight" I look back up at the moon I wish you here Luna I thought to myself. I'm a mother now. Somehow the universe gave me a child. I thought I would never have one but here I am. I smile at what has happened these months. I slowly lay don't my head near my sleeping filly and my sister's realm overtakes me. "Good night my little Delight." > Life Anew: Part 8: The First Creative Stroke. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life Anew: Part 8: The First Creative Stroke. Today was a bright day. I could feel it. It felt special in a way. I don't know why it felt like this. It just did. I was eating with my mother, trying to feed me by doing the train thing that some do. As the child that I am, I thought it was funny. "Here comes the Cho Cho Train open op for passage," she said while making train noises. She is moving the spoon with food closer to me. So I opened up and got a spoon filled with apple paste or something that tasted like apple. This happens at breakfast other than when she leaves me alone to eat myself, making a mess. A towel float near my face and cleans both my face and cheeks. I then get floated out of the chair and down on the floor on a play carpet. There is a mare who I think would be counted as my nanny as I see her a lot together with the guard. She sits next to me, brings a book with animal pictures, and starts to say things I can only understand very little. It is so frustrating to understand broken sentences. It's like watching a movie in English, and you know English. Then you watch the same thing with an accent. Yeah, hard to understand. Also, add the fact that it's not my native language makes it even harder. So I believe she is trying to teach me the different animals. I see a Bunny, foxes and fishies, and a weird bunny with horns. Birds... is that a cat. OMG, they have cats... not that surprising now that I think about cats kind of did domesticate themself, at least to humans kind of believe it's the same thing. "Mew Mew," I say as I point at the cat picture. My nanny giggles and looks down at me. "Yes, that's a cat, a Mew Mew," "Cat," I say to her as I tap the cat picture in the book "Mew Mew" Another fun fact I think my spirit animal would have been a cat mostly because I acted that way, even more so when I was on one of my meds. "Here, look, this is a picture of a dog, or a Woof Woof", I giggle at her, trying hard to mimic a sound of a dog. I have seen that some sounds do carry over. It's more the complexity of the vocals you need to make into a coherent word and understand what you mean. I could repeat what everyone says, not with ease, but I try to say words I'm sure I understand. "Woof, Woof", I repeat. "Woof Woof", I giggle. I sometimes get these urges to act like a child, not that I'm complaining. *Knock Knock* is heard from the door as we both look in the direction. As we do, the door slowly opens with a horse head looking through it. He sees us both looking at him and smiles as our eyes meet. "Hello miss and Princess, are there any problems? Like magical problems?" "Why hello, Dr Magia. And no, there have been no problems whatsoever other than her being intelligent and all, but what can you expect from Princess Celestia's Foal." "Oh, em, yes, ah that's good, that's good ehh." *Giggles* "Anything else I can help you with, Doctor?* "Yes? ehm. NNo, no maybe I have a thing here I need to check and can you help me wi-" I don't understand what is happening, but somehow it's making me cringe. So I try to look at what is around in this room. I see some paper and crayons. I then get this tinkling on both of my sides thighs? Flank? I then see my plushie Max and run up to him and hug him. I then take him with me over to the items. I then get my hands... hoofs. It's not going to be easy to get used to saying that. So I get my hoofs on said drawing supplies. I place Max down in front of me. The stack of papers beside him and one sheet in front of him and me. He is facing me. The sensation has not stopped, but I don't see anything as I look. So I take a black crayon and start to outline a sketch of my mother, and since she is as white as new falling snow, it's best to use an outline for her. As I finish Mother, I start drawing my sister, me, the nanny, the guard, Max and a cat just because I really like cats. I like animals, in general. I still hear Nanny and Doc talking in the background, but I ignore them as I burn through these crayons. I don't know why but I just get this feeling in my body like I feel closer to it. It's hard to understand. I mean, what am I, a pink baby unicorn. Like I understand anything. As I stop drawing, I realise they have stopped making noises. So I turn around to look at them, only to be surprised by them being a meter behind me. It only scared me a little... ok, it scared me a lot, so I started to cry. I then get lifted by my nanny and get a hug and nuzzle with cooing words trying to calm me down. "I'm so sorry. It's ok, it's ok." I try to stop as I nuzzle into her fur, only getting sniffles out. I hate crying. It takes so much energy out of me. At least my weird feeling is gone. But I do wonder what that was about it. It felt like an impulse or desire, a wanting to do this kind of feeling. Well, it is gone. I just hope my mother likes my drawing. POV: Dr. Lekarz Magia As I see Miss Care take care of the little Princess, I look at the drawing we saw her make. Looking at her drawing, this was astonishing. I felt magic was here. I scan the room and the Princess for anything. Only to be met with nothing. I know she is a mystery in her own right, even though her intellect is above genius. These are only studies and speculation for later. I look at the clock and see the time. It's about 18:00. "Ah, Miss Care, it's about to be dinner time, and the Princess seems to be tired, and it's not good to go to bed with an empty stomach." "oh goodness, It's this late already." She panics and runs out of the room with the Princess. "Well, I guess I just eat alone then." I look back at the drawing, light up my horn and put an Everlasting spell on it. We can't have unforeseen circumstances ruin the Princess's first drawing. > Life Anew: Part 9: A feverish and hectic day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life Anew: Part 9: A feverish and hectic day It hurt a lot. I can't say why it hurts but it does it's hot and cold I can't think straight really. Opening my eyes is a chore and I just keep crying as well is scary I don't remember ever being this scared. "Mother, please, please hold me". What is happening to me? I was fine not that long ago, but now I'm not ok, I want Mommy. I want her to hold me, to sing for me, to make all this pain go away. it's all dark and scary and it hurts so much. why does it hurt so much? After what feels like such a long time of darkness and pain starts to fade a little still hurts but I'm not scared anymore. I can feel it, I can feel her she is holding me. I can feel mothers warmth, it's so pleasant and calming. The same feeling I felt time and time again. mother is now here with me. I try to muster up some strength to open my eyes to look at Mother. It's hard but I get to see her, her blurry outline at least. As I have my eyes open they start to focus back in again as my tears also get vibed away. I can see my mother with a worried look I look around and see a lot of other silhouettes out of focus just franticly running around. It kind of looks funny so I laugh but my laughing turns into coughing just as fast. I see a glass of water flowing in front of me and I drink from it as it helps. look up at my mother who is still holding me. She does look less worried now and smiles a nervous smile. I now just realised what is happening. I have a fever or something of the like. This is so much worse than I have ever felt before. Did children really have it like this when they became sick? It was even worse than any other time I remember being sick. If this is what I feel like being sick as a child I will start eating healthier and I won't be bad ever gain. I don't want to feel this way ever again. "yeah, aha, ok... hm" "So how is she?" I was waiting with anticipation for an answer from the doctor. "Well, it's just a normal fever, your highness." "Really? You're sure that it's nothing to series?" I was in desperation my cute little delight is burning up, and here I am not able to help. I see the doctor start to smile at me. "your highness you are not the first mother who is overreacting to their own foal's first fever, but I ensure you that this is very normal. Now I have some medicine you should give her as she eats if she can eat and if she throws it back up you will have to wait an hour or so before trying again. if you are all out of luck well you know where to find me." I know he trying to reassure me but how can I be calm in this situation? Can I even run this kingdom am I even fit to be a mother if so how can I be a mother to all my little ponies? no, no he is right I need to calm down it's just a fever. "Alright Doctor, thank you I will call you if there is any need for your assistance," I say trying to hide my worry. "As you should, now I do have some other rounds to check up on either an associate or I will be there for your calls if need be, now I must go so goodbye, your majesty," he says with a little stern look that later turns into a small smile. "yes goodbye, Doctor." I try to change my poster and facial expression as his stern eyes look at me as smiled a nervous smile. This is nerve-wracking I have never in my long life been this scared and fearful and this is a normal occurrence for everypony. it's been at least 2 days since the doctor was here I wanted to call him here. Both the nanny, the maids and even some guards have reassured me that this is normal it's a prosses that will happen. I have been trying too hard not to just call every doctor. so I send the doctor a letter asking for advice on what I could do if the fever don't go down and that she just throw up as well. What I got back was that if the fever doesn't go down tomrrow I should send him another notice and he will be on his way. That's great and all but here I am a single mother with no help what am I sposed to do? oh, Lulu I really need you here right now. I have seen many things in my life but nothing has ever prepared me for this. I feel so out of it but she is finally calm her temperature has gone down. I had to call the Doctor over he was a little mad at me but what can I say? I was so worried. No matter what I did her fever would not stay down and she kept screaming and crying making me tear up as I don't know what to do. I am so tired now but she is finally sleeping soundly these 5 days have been so hectic. it's finally over. Sleep tight my little Delight, Mother loves dearly sorry I have been so useless in your time of need. I smile at a new thought, At least this has been a new learning curve I have at least learned of my mistake for the next time. I lean in and kiss her again. "Sweet dreams" I whisper. Fatigue soon takes over me and everything turns to black as I get lulled to sleep by her cute little calm snoring. after all the problems we had this sound was so reassuring than any other.
