Every alicorn has had to earn their wings and warn by performing a Royal level feat. When a war breaks out across Equestria, Tia and her younger sister Luna end up finding out there's a lot more to them than it seems....

The Rising.
The transformation from a pony to an alicorn, only happens when a pony has performed a feat worthy of obtaining the power of a superior to all other ponies.
It's always been passed off as a myth, a foal tale for little fillies who can't get their sleep, including the idea of an alicorn, a pony with wings, a horn and earth pony strength, too. But as war breaks out across Equestria, two sisters called Luna and Celestia find out that maybe the foal tale isn't exactly fictional after all….

Just a foal tale

''Again, again!''

Celestia looked at her younger sister, raising her eyebrow slightly.

''I just finished it Luna,'' she said, placing the book labeled 'FOAL TALES' back on the shelf with the other books there. All of the books were covered in a thick sheet of dust, as Luna only ever wanted to read that particular one. It almost made Tia feel bad for the rest, but of course she didn't, they were just book after all.

''But I wanna hear about the alicorns again!'' Luna whined, thrashing about as her older sister attempted to re-tuck her into bed.

''Luna I read you that story every night, you must surely know it off by heart by now,'' said Celestia, pushing a tattered teddy bear beside Luna.

''I know but it sounds better when you read it Tia,'' said Luna, doing the 'I'm the adorable younger sister' act Celestia knew all too well.

Tia rolled her eyes at this predictable charade. Sure it had worked the first (hundred) times, but she wasn't falling it this time!

''No Luna,'' said Celestia firmly. ''Fillies need their sleep so they can play in the mornings.''

''Awwwwwwww,'' said Luna. She knew she had would have to plain her trump card.

Luna looked at her Celestia, her eyes starting to grow round.

''No...no!'' the white unicorn said. ''Don't you dare!''

Luna's eyes were as round as saucers now, with a slight glint of tears in them.

''I just want a story.''

''URGH FINE!'' Celestia exclaimed, a coat of yellow magic surrounding the book and bringing it back to the two. ''Why must you be so cute but annoying?''

''What else are little sisters for?''

Celestia gave a small laugh and began reading.

''The Rising.......''
