Note: This chapter references the Lauren Faust OC also known as 'Queen Faust' or 'Fausticorn'

"Luna.... Princess Twilight and the Elements always find the answer to questions... but I still cannot figure out a question I've had since before Nightmare Moon, and even further back than before Discord or King Sombra..... what happened to our mother?" Celestia asked.

"Sister, our mother was long ago locked away by her own magic, in order to also forever banish our wicked father. Had she not banished him, Equestria would not even exist as we know it today." Luna replied.

"That still doesn't really answer everything... I can't remember how she looked... I can't remember anything... except this..." Celestia said, levitating an old book over that looked at least 2,000 years old.

"That is the book she would read to us as young fillies, before we would sleep sister." Luna said, observing the book.

"It has been so long since the time we were once young.... this book reminds me of those times." Celestia stated, smiling a bit.

"It is quite a fascinating book really sister." Luna said.

"Perhaps we should read it?" Celestia asked.

"Of course dearest sister." Luna replied, smiling.

Luna and Celestia sat down in Luna's bed with Celestia reading Chapter 1, then Luna reading Chapter 2, and so on, taking turns until Celestia fell asleep. Luna simply smiled, then closed the book and fell asleep with her older sister.

Next Morning

Celestia awoke first, her sister still asleep, which was better because she'd awoke a bit late. Celestia got to raising the sun, before going and making herself some morning coffee. She dropped it, however, when she turned back around. A white Alicorn, larger than herself, stood before her, with blue eyes, a red mane and tail, her cutie mark a quill inside an ink cup. Celestia immediately recognized the pony, the memories flooding back to her. She was in shock and the single word that left her own mouth next was…

"MOTHER?!"
