Raise You Like a Phoenix
A young burglar tries to steal some of Princess Celestia's most prized jewels and artifacts. After she is caught, however, she catches the Princess's eye.
It was just like any other night. The moon had been up for hours and the ponies rested peacefully in their beds. Celestia, on this normal night, decides to take a stroll around the quiet palace.
This seemingly routine walk changes everything for her as she finds one young unicorn thief trying to rob her.
And this thief, harnessing magical powers quite rare to normal unicorns, catches Celestia's attention.
