A Tale Of A New Beginning

Silence surrounded the whole room. The only sounds that could be heard were the faint beep of a heart monitor and the heavy breathing of Twilight Sparkle.

"She's beautiful, Twilight" Cadence held the small filly in her arms, cradling her. Cadence gently passed the foal to her mother. Tear blurred eyes looked upon the small purple alicorn. The tips of her wing were slightly darker than the rest of her coat. Her mane was short but dead straight and consisted of three colours; Pale blue with a strand of darker blue and another of green. A strand of spectra seeped in through the window. Making its way across the room, it's light sparkled off all of the shiny surfaces. The light reached the small filly but as soon as the light appeared on the filly's coat, it disappeared.

"Spectrum Eclipse" Twilight muttered.

The land had been shrouded into despair and sadness after Princess Celestia's. Luna made sure to look as if it wasn't hurting her, but it was. On the inside, it was killing her. Celestia's two children, 4-year-old Paradox, and 3-year-old Penrose. Luna already had two children; Artis who was 2, nearly three and Lunar Canine who was barely 1. Sombra, Artis's father had disappeared not long after Celestia's death and Lunar's father remained unknown. For many years, Celestia had been fighting for her life from an evil darkness after reforming Sombra, Luna's now husband. But her struggles were fruitless as after exactly 3 and a half years, the darkness took over her, leaving her bed-bound and merely two days later, she had passed away.

Discord had moped around the castle for a few day before staying with Fluttershy, who was now pregnant with his foal. But not very long after finding out she was pregnant with the draconequus' foal, she left him and was now married to Big Macintosh.

The large crowds of Canterlot gathered in the courtyard after hearing the news of a new royal filly. They waited for the once in a lifetime sight. Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor walked to the edge of the balcony. And after checking the crowd once over they looked back at Twilight and nodded. Twilight walked slowly with Flash supporting her since she was still weak. Cadence's magic surrounded the small foal and lifted her to show eveypony. The crowd erupted into cheers as their eyes fell upon their newest princess.

I the middle of the crowd was Rarity with her one-year-old filly, Noone. A small shy blue pegasus with a magenta mane and blue eyes.

Noone was the daughter of Thunderlane. Rarity's love for Thunderlane didn't last long. Very soon after they got together, they started fighting. And when Rarity found out she was carrying his foal it set off the biggest argument ending with Rarity kicking Thunderlane out of her boutique and moving to Canterlot to manage her boutique there. But by that stage, the stress was too much for her so she moved into Caterlot castle with Twilight. She then met back up with Fancy Pants and soon after got married.

The next few years when by quite fast. Fear was born and was a healthy unicorn foal. Her dark coat fitted perfectly with her black mane and her blood red eyes. Sweetie Belle and Button Mash had a colt that they name Pixeled Bullet. Sombra had returned and Luna gave birth to another foal a year later, Christane, a filly. In Cloudsdale, Soarin and Rainbow had two foals, Stream Strike and Australis flame, a year apart. Big Mac and Fluttershy had their foal Melody Star. Fancy and Rarity had a filly, Sapphire Stone. Applejack and Caramel now had a small colt to look after, Toffee Golden. Twilight and Flash had a pegasus colt which they named Nebula Streak. Sunset had returned along with the dazzlings. Sunset and Adagio had a filly called Dawn. Sonata and Aria also had their foal who they named Nerida Occyan. Scootaloo and Rumble had the Twins, Speed Strike, and Jasper. Applebloom and Tender Taps had a filly named Honey Crisp. Even Spike! He moved to the dragon kingdom where he and Ember had two little babies, Emerald and Lapis. So all in all, everypony was living their lives happily.

Chapter 1

"Flurry!" Spectrum called out. Spectrum Eclipse was now 9 (So Flurry is 14), but what was surprising is that she acted as if she was in her teens.

Along with learning that she was blind, Twilight found it quite fascinating that her daughter seemed, well, normal. Though she hates being in large rooms, outside or in any type of crowds -for the only way she can tell where she is going is echolocation- she was a lovely filly, loved by all.

Flurry and 'Clipse are extremely close, growing up pretty much side by side due to the regularity of Cadence's visits from the Crystal Empire.

Another great friend of Spectrum was Noone, Rarity's daughter. Rarity was almost always busy in Canterlot Boutique, so Twilight volunteered to look after her.

"Hey Spec, what's up?" Flurry wing bumped her cousin.

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to go for a fly with me? And you know, talk?"

"Sure, why not. I've got nothing better to do" They spread their wings and flew out one of the windows.

The two flew in silence for a while, the only sound being their gentle wing beats.

"Flurry? How did you get your cutie mark?" Spectrum asked, looking at the red heart with two overcrossing unicorn horns on the pale pink alicorns flank.

"Oh, It's not much of story really."

"Please?"

"Ok, fine"

"What happened was somepony had knocked the crystal heart slightly so the love was out of balance. There were couples making out on the street and others bickering and fighting. Mum and Dad managed to put the heart back in place and the love re-balanced. Well, mostly. The school ponies weren't back to normal since they weren't 'in love' as such. They are mostly only friends. My magic isn't that of love like my mum's"

Flurry looked away, frowning. She felt that she had let her mother down since she could not be her successor. After a few seconds, Flurry continued;

"So, I used my magic to restore their friendships" Flurry smiled. "That was only four years ago"

Spectrum was happy for her cousin, but also sad. She had always been out and about to try to see what she was good at, but every time she came back bare flanked, pun intended.

The two flew back to the castle and landed in the gardens.

"Where were you?" Noone stomped her hoof, an angry look adorning her face.

"Uh, flying, talking"

Noone's glare didn't falter as she fluttered her wings. "You know I can fly too?! You could have at least invited me"

Spectrum's face dead-panned. She would always forget that Noone was a pegasus.

The three stood and chatted for a while after Noone cooled down before, Flurry had to go. After Flurry left, Noone and 'Clipse stood in silence. The setting sun and lower light level allowed Spectrum see, the darkness was her strength as she could she in the opposite light levels than other ponies do. So whenever her and Noone's eyes met they would both end up looking way, a pink blush tinging their cheeks.

"C'mon. It's getting late, let's go inside"

The two flew to Spectrum's room. Rarity hadn't returned from the boutique yet so that signified Noone would be staying the night. Again. But since there were only a selected amount of rooms, Flurry and Cadence taking up the room Noone would have slept in, Noone would be staying with Spectrum, in her room.
