Canterlot, Queen Celestia’s quarters

Safe and sound inside her quarters, Celestia began her nightly rituals of a light exercise, some nightly reading into science-fiction fantasy then a few mind bending puzzles then finished off with her laying closely to the large open balcony of her quarters. She would then stare deeply into the ever-changing cosmos created and tended by her loving sister Luna. Although the two of them charted any and all official star charts in Canterlot, Twilight Sparkle. Celestia’s second highest achieving student in her university of gifted unicorns, now charts the star maps in the neighbouring settlement Ponyville. Through several long drawn out yawns and smacking of lips, Celestia drew a breath and calmly swept away into the dreamscape, thinking or maybe plotting a new strategy for the oncoming war to be sieged in the war-less country of Equestria.

Slowly the night crept away and Celestia awoke to raise the sun in her not-so-morning glory, dreary and bleak. Celestia began her next day by running a nice steam bath, in a wash room just next to the side of her bed in an on suite. Inside lay a brass tub fit for a six-foot magical entailment from a children’s fairytale, she started by removing her royal miscellaneous attire then filling the tub with the water found in a large wooden drum sitting underneath a window sill to the right of the room, the light shone in through the window and basked the white marble flooring and gold stainless steel towel racks and cleverly designed sink and water mains.

With the water in the tub and her attire properly situated on a specially designed marionette in the corner of the room, Celestia lowers to the bottom of the tub with her head and softly her horn lights up with a magnificent glow. A bright white light shines from the base of her horn then travels up the shaft and to the tip before spilling out onto the bottom of the tub, a patch of the tub begins to turn a fluorescent orange as heat begins to warm the tub, the water starts to bubble and steam and after a quick thirty seconds the tub had been fully covered with the spell and from its normal brass colour it is now a fluoro orange.

Now with one hoof, Celestia calmly dips it over the brim of the tub and into the water. Swirling it around before deeming it warm enough to get in, after gently sinking like a pebble in a stream into the bottom of the tub and tossing a long breath. Celestia closes her eyes and mulls over the past day conversation, did she really know what she was doing? Inter-galactic warriors? In what world would that even be deemed necessary, if any world even had a force strong enough? All these thoughts and outrageous accusations about life in the cosmos was actually begging to sound like something of an impossibility.

The hurried sound of hoof steps outside the washroom startled Celestia, her ears going from their cute droop to a full red alert pointing. She swivels her head and squints out the door as two, no three. Three royal guards crunch forward into the Queen’s quarters, their heavy armour scraping against each other. Weapons at a standstill, they emerge from the corner of Celestia’s bed and stand at attention upon seeing their Queen. They all began at once, in unison they said; ‘Your highness, we have found something that may be of use to you. But before you arrive to see it we have an immediate threat upon the Canterlot gates... it’s him, it’s the fool. He has come for assistance from yourself.’

Squinting at her guards, Celestia tells them to wait. As she gets ready, her attire disappearing from its position and enveloping over Celestia’s body finding their place. She returns to her guards and inquires that they go and warn her sister Luna of what’s to come.
