The Third Student of Celestia

Another peaceful morning in Canterlot as the royal palace was the first to be hit by the rays of the rising sun as Celestia used her magic to bring it into its morning position. On the balcony of the tallest tower she stood with a look of relaxed focus showing her thousands of years of experience. As the suns accent slowed and halted Celestia turned to make her way back into her chambers, passing by her sister Luna. The younger alicorn held a look of admiration as she followed only a few steps behind her elder sister. Once they left their chambers they were immediately surrounded by their attendants. Some holding new tax protocols and others with official forms from Mayors of the many towns and cities located in Equestria.

Luna took half the work brought to them so they could finish up more quickly. Celestia turned to Luna “You don’t have to do that younger sister, I can handle the workload myself”

“Please sister, though I  am younger than you I am still royalty and as such I must bare the responsibilities that you bare. After all I need something to do when I’m not watching over the night.” Luna replied as the papers she took were held in place by a night blue glow that is a result of her magic.

The papers were flipped through and after signing a few she came across a notice of an ongoing excavation of Starswirl the Bearded’s many secret workshops which he had used over his many years of study to hold items he discovered or constructed until he had a complete understanding of how to control them and find out what their full potential could be. Apparently this particular workshop held the byproduct of his multiple worlds theory. He had made a mirror that was supposedly linked to another world.

Luna read the notice and brought it to celestia's attention. “Sister I do believe we should have the item brought here for further study and safe keeping.”

“It could definitely be useful as an enhancement for cultural and equinepological studies. I agree Luna, we should have it brought to us at once.” The two sisters nodded and passed the paper to an attendant with specific instructions and then went through their scheduled day. Fortunately, being royalty generally means things work much more quickly for them and with a work force of fifty Pegasus the mirror arrived no later than sun down that very day and was set in the throne room for the time being until the research team arrived later the next morning.
