Luna began to enjoy having the little filly around after a few days. The little grey mare, at this point still unnamed to everyone, was full of energy, intelligent and reminded Luna on a regular basis, through her actions to smile. Luna's most favorite thing about the filly was that, like Luna, she seemed to be a night owl. She spent hours a day napping and far more time playing around at night. Whether this was because she had adjusted herself to Luna's way of life, or she was just inherently a night wanderer, Lun did not know, nor did she care. She simply delighted in what was.

A few weeks later, in the precense of both sisters, in the royal library, the filly finally found her tongue and managed to relate her tale to the to sisters, who, enraptured by the find and the events thus far. paid her mind, eager to hear where exactly this little one had come from.

The little filly was reading a book on stars, and the sisters were looking on and conversing when the little mare cleared her throat, demanding attention.

'What is it little one? Are you alright?' Questioned Luna

'Yes. I'm fine.' Replied the filly

The royal sisters' eyes widened. The filly's words were clear and enunciated, not a young foals words. Had the filly been able to talk all along? Why hadn't she said anything?

'My name is Advancing Star' said the filly

'I have been waiting for so long to be able to speak. I apologise for taking so long princesses, my foal body had to catch up with me.'

'Wha... How... Where are you from? Who are you and how did you get here?' Stuttered Luna

'Like I said, I am Advancing Star' Said the filly quietly

'And I have searched for you for many moons princesses. I am an Element pony, a pony born of two Elemental beings, However, I am the result of a forbidden act. Elemental ponies are forbidden to form bonds, more so if the result in the creation of new life. The council had kept me as a charge, but I was chased away from the council after trying to find out who my parents were. You see I was different, because I was born out of love, unlike the elementals, I inherently want love and family, things Elementals should not, may not have. I was banished to the corners of the universe to a life time of solitude, but I am a young Elemental and lost control of my flight as I passed your planet and came crashing down'

'You poor little pony.' Murmured Luna quietly

'How can it be that we have not heard of you, who are the elementals and what do they do?' Questioned Celestia Gently, she felt a flicker of empathy for the small filly, but this new life was unbeknownst to her and she had to know as much as possible to protect her planet and Ponies.

'There are Elementals all in all, it is their job to maintain balance of the elements in the universe this is why they may not have bonds, reproduction creates new elements and that could be a grave danger if two of the wrong elements were to pair. These Elements are: Water, Fire, Wind, Rock, Darkness, Light, Love, Hate, War, Peace and Life'

The filly paused to see if the two sisters were following her explanation, when Celestia nodded, she continued

'I am the product of Darkness and Light, My Father is the Element of Darkness, My mother of light, their elements are so conflicting that they didn't think that anything could come of it, that her light would cancel out his darkness, yet here I am. You see Princess Luna, this is why I needed to attatch to you, I saw your mark and realised, that you, like me, are of a balance of Light and Darkness.'

The two regal sisters were quiet as they pondered Star's last sentence.

Celestia frowned deep in thought. It was after all a lot of information to take in. In her Millennia of ruling Equestria she had never come across anything from out of her world that was sentient and it baffled her.

Luna on the other hand understood perfectly. She had found a kindred spirit in the little grey mare and it was her responsibility as a mare of the night to raise her so that she could rise back to her place in the heavens one day.

Luna felt that she, after all, must have some secret and special purpose just as Luna had. Even when she had felt insignificant.
