The Alicorn Ritual

When the light cleared, there was a crystal where Twilight was. Rainbow noticed a faint layer of dust over it, and blew it off with a few strong flaps of her wings. Everyone was confused as to what they saw next. It seemed as if Twilight's life had been rewound to the point when she was a newborn filly, sleeping and wrapped snugly in a baby blanket.

"Has her life been rewound?", asked Twilight Velvet.

"No, I think it's an illusion.", said Celestia.

"I remember this happening when this was used on me.", said Luna.

"Luna's right.", said Rainbow, as Rarity zapped the crystal to see if Twilight was inside.

Sure enough, Twilight was inside, completely normal but unconscious, and her new wings were spread wide.

Moments later, the crystal began to crack and glow simultaneously, then it came apart with an explosive shatter, throwing shards in all different directions. Twilight dropped to the floor, and stayed asleep.

Three days later, Twilight woke up shivering, even though Celestia had tucked her in bed at her castle. Twilight was grateful that everything was back to normal with her. She warmed back up quickly, and went out to talk to her friends

"I was unconscious, but I could still feel cold around me, even after I woke up.", she told her friends.

"Well, at least you have your alicorn abilities back.", said Rainbow.

"Yes, I do.", she said.
