The First Unicorn

Flood of revelations

I was known throughout the kingdom as the goddess of first light sighting. It’s the rays you see just before the sun becomes visible. I was married to the god of twilight. Not your name Twilight, but the light you see at the end of the sun set. His name was Ending Day. We loved each other very much, but I had fallen in love with another. The god of the sun, Flare, had tempted me to cheat many times… His admiration from afar finally pushed me over the edge! I accepted him and cheated on my husband. After words, I had a child but my husband didn’t find out because she looked like him. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I was foolish enough to cheat on Flare as well! The god of the moon, Crescent, also admired me. Call me ignorant if you wish but I cheated on my husband, and Flare with him. Three years passed before I accepted his lust for me… and as fate would have it, I had yet another child. This time… it was unmistakably Crescent’s child.

Twilight was curious to hear more and asked What happened after that?

Ending Day and Flare became furious with me, so they agreed on a punishment. I was once an alicorn… but Ending Day magically removed my wings, leaving me flightless and banished me to the Everfree Forest where no matter how I tried, I would never escape! Shortly after, unicorns were made dubbing me as the first unicorn. Flare punished me by making my body disappear when the sun rises, so he wouldn’t be able to look upon me. As for Crescent, he was kind enough to allow me to keep my body when night came. A millennium passed and the gods began to die. Just before Ending Day died, he still felt compelled to see to it that someday I would die too. He cursed me with the power he had captivated for years and stored it deep within my body. It’s been dormant for a long time now but as it starts awakening, it will over power me and I was supposed to die from it. The other gods, who felt sympathy as I begged them for their forgiveness, granted me the chance to live by ensuring me with a conduit that would be born after a few millenniums. This conduit would be able to control my late husband’s powers and use it in a respectable manner. Unfortunately, by creating the conduit, they had to perform a love spell in order to ensure I would find her… That conduit is you, Twilight!

Twilight stood there with her mouth open. Nothing like this was written in the books of ancient history. Twilight tried to make sense of it and was able to do so, but the facts were still confusing. She looked at Dawning Light and asked her How did you get your cutie mark?

My cutie mark was obtained when all of the other gods and goddess’s died out. I am the last goddess to walk Equestria.

Twilight looked at the ground and asked And your kids… Who are they?

Dawning Light closed her eyes and thought They are known as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! I am their mother.

Twilight gasped with wide eyes. This whole time she had been kissing her teacher’s mother! Umm, I don’t know if I should be flattered or appalled. Celestia is my mentor. I don’t think I should be doing this with her mother.

Do I not look young for my age?

Well… No you look younger than Celestia!

My age does not affect my image. Celestia is a different kind of goddess, as is Luna. They are after gods, which you call princesses. That is why they age. They rule Equestria now because it is what they were destined to do. The gods and goddesses gave them Equestria and their subjects. All they have to do is take good care of it. I have always looked like this, and I always will. I don’t age because of the power of the gods, a power that princess’s don’t have.

Twilight, still feeling awkward began to understand the whole mess Dawning Light was in. She needed Twilight so she could live, and because of the love spell placed upon her, there was no pushing her back.

Dawning Light lowered herself to Twilight’s level.

I also have the ability to look into the heart of others and see their true emotions. I can see you are slowly accepting my love for you but it will take time. I have always loved you, since before you were born. That’s why when I saw you, I had to kiss you. It’s what the spell does to me. It cannot be dismissed. I’ve tried to vanquish the feeling but it never goes away. In time, I hope you can accept my love but until then, just visit me every night so I may bestow upon you my late husband’s power.

Twilight looked into Dawning Light’s eyes and asked But why does it feel so… intoxicating and arousing when you do that?

It’s the power of a god. Did you think it would hurt to receive those abilities? Every time you visit and receive my late husband’s power, you will become stronger with magic. Someday, you will even surpass the princess’s.

Do they know who and where you are? You know... your daughters?

It’s been so long, I believe they have forgotten they ever even had a mother.

Twilight began to have a migraine. To comfort her, Dawning Light put her hoof under Twilight’s chin and brought her lips to hers for a kiss. Needless to say, Twilight spent the night with Dawning Light. The warmth kept Twilight comforted as she lay with her. Sounds of the forest relaxed her soul and helped her sleep. The next morning came and Twilight awoke to find the mare still hugging her. Dawning Light, it’s almost morning.

The glowing mare lifted her head and thought I must warn you. Now that you have the ability to read minds, you will probably learn secrets that your friends have. Don’t worry though, you’ll get used to it. Oh, and I removed that bite mark on your neck... Sorry about that. I got a little carried away.

Before the sun shined upon the Everfree Forest, Twilight asked One more thing, why can’t you talk?

I lost my voice due to not using it for over a millennium! With no pony to talk to, I simply remained silent. Thought is the only form of communication I have now.

And with that, she vanished in a white shimmer of sparkling dust. Twilight retreated from the forest to head back to Ponyville with a little eagerness to try out her new telepathic abilities.
