A New Day

Through Pinwheel/ Nymph's Eyes

  My head hurts. It feels like someling was trying to call me, but with a laser beam. When will mom be back, Tulip is really freaking me out. She's even following me to school!

Through Karma/ Tulip's Eyes

  I feel the Hive Mind returning. The Queen locked it away, but now something unlocked. I hear the Queen speaking, not to us, another ling. This ling is stronger than us. She is..................a princess.

  I hope Mantis isn't going to blow a blood vessel. He was the most saddened by her death. Or....well.....fake death. No matter I must escort Nymph to school no matter what.

Through Pinwheel/ Nymph's Eyes

   I hope we get to learn about baby ponies! Miss Silverlight is always talking about having a baby pony. I hope they are squishy because then you can hug them more. Not like a changeling. We have tough bodies to protect us.

  Look a baby!

  Just lying in a little basket.

  Hmm.............

  I want to squish it.

Through Emerald's Eyes

  It felt strange having Hive Mind again. Hearing all those voices. At least I know where each and everyling is. Onyx was making his way to the music store. Leaf was skipping down the street saying hello to everypony. Mantis was playing against another pony at the meeting.  (Not too early he always says)

  Azure was baking goodies at the bakery. Locust was finally getting up from his bed. Nymph was being escorted by Tulip to school. Wormwood was......jumping on the roof? Never understood that.

Nymph what are you doing? "Tulip turn around."

Through Karma/ Tulip's Eyes

  I heard you, my queen. Looking behind me I saw Nymph leaning over a basket. He was poking it.

  "Pinwheel what are you doing?"

  He didn't look back. "Look."

  I couldn't believe my eyes. Before I got a closer look, I made sure there were no ponies around. I then grabbed the basket and Nymph in my magic then ran for the house. This was the most dangerous thing anyling from any queen could do.

"Emerald, code black."

Through Emerald's Eyes

Code black. It's been so long. But why? Why just-

"Emerald, are you all right."

Celestia was staring at me. I didn't have my eyes closed. I was staring at Princess Luna. Blueblood tried to kick me under the table. And my child wasn't even paying attention. Luna acted like everything was normal.

"Emerald?"

  "Oh sorry princess. If you excuse me, I just remembered that I left in such a hurry, I forgot to wake my 'family'. They usually wait for me before staring the day."

  Blueblood gave me a look. "You know what maybe you should go. Someponies like you aren't fit to be in the castle."

  Celestia and Luna turned to the prince almost shouting until another voice spoke.

"That's my mother you're talking about, your 'highness'. If anypony is unfit to be in a castle like this it's you. All you do is whine and brag. You think you are better than everypony, well guess what.

  You are still a unicorn just like my mother. Celestia and Luna and your sister Cadence are alicorns. They control sun, moon, stars, and love. They rule over entire kingdoms and bring peace and harmony.

  Your talent is cartography. You can see a map and say that you will never be lost. My mother's talent is the phoenix feather. The art of pony kindness, love, and unity. She can bring whole nations together just with words.

  My mother is Celestia's royal adviser. And from what I recall she has been for many years until the Princess decided that she wanted her by her side in the castle.

  My mother worked hard to be where she's at. You were born into it. Never needing to do anything, Sir Princey. I, myself had to work hard just to find her after all these years.

  So, who's more unfit to be in the castle?"

  The room was silent. Celestia was staring in shock. Blueblood was on the edge of the table with a scowl. Luna smiled. I don't know why. I stood up and grabbed my daughter with my magic.

"If you excuse me princesses. I'm going home to my 'family'. Thank you for the meal."

  With that I left the castle with Cicada hovering in my magic behind me. I was frightened. With H.M. I sent my broodlings a message. A message to come home immediately.

Through Karma/ Tulip's Eyes

  I shut the door and sat in the living room. The curtains were shut tight with my magic. No pony should of seen us. I levitated the basket into the kitchen and onto the table. Code black. It has been about ten years since the last one. That was during Emerald's search for a new home.

"Tulip can you put me down now?"

  Looking up I saw Nymph still in my magic, undisguised. The green glow faded away as I released my grasp on him. He hovered in the air with his wings. Nymph then landed on the table and stared at the basket.

"What's the big deal? You went crazy because of a baby."

"Nymph, that isn't just a baby. Look."

  He leaned into the basket taking a closer look at the child inside. Why? Why leave it in plain sight in front of pony eyes? Was it poorly planned or abandonment?

Through Pinwheel/ Nymph's Eyes

  I still don't see the big deal. It's just a baby with a pitch black coat, deep pink eyes, and short pink mane. In fact, she looks like a baby princess! With the cute double ringed eyes and little fangs. In wonder who her mom is?
