The next day found the Throne Room of the Coral Palace packed with seaponies come to see Twilight's Choosing. Many may have found her and her circumstances odd, but none had ever thought wrong of her.

In fact most liked her and were glad she had been able to get Princess Skystar out and about with friends.

The general mumor died down as Queen Novo led Twilight and Skystar into the throne room. Twilight was surprised to see so many had come out for this, but it also warmed her heart.

Novo was also glad as she raised a hoof to get everyone's attention. "Citizens, the day has come. We have all come to know Twiight Sparkle these past few days. Now the time has come for her to choose." She turned to Twilight. "Have you made your choice Twilight?"

Twilight nodded. "I have."

Novo nodded as she ignited her attenea and opened a slot beneath the Coral Throne. Out floated sn ornate piece of coral more beautiful than anything Twilight had ever seen. Except for one, but that was for later. She hoped.

"This is the Heart of the Sea, crafted by the Drowned God in the Beginning and from where all life originated. It has helped and guided us for time immemorial," Novo explained as she let go of the Heart, which continued to float on its own. "Now it has come time. The choice is yours Twilight. Return to the surface and the life you once knew."

She sighed. "Or you can stay with us for all time and cut the last ties to your past."

Twilight nodded. Swimming over she placed a hoof against the Heart and made her choice.

"I'm staying. My past is dead and I can't bring it back." She smiled as she looked at Skystar. "I belong to Seaquestria now."

As the final word was said, the Heart began to glow and so did Twilight. A warmth filled her as her body began to change. Her back legs merged into one long fluke as her tail wrapped around it and became longer. Her wings became transparent fins.

But the biggest change was to her mind. She could feel all the magic flowing through her and around her. All at her command. She bit down on the darker thoughts that arose at that moment.

At that moment too Twilight felt a new bond forged between her and Skystar, one that went deeper than just friends. Something more, and it was exciting. Skystar felt it too, even if she didn't know what it meant.

Unseen and unfelt, the last ties to Twilight's past were severed, but only her now forgotten friends felt something at that moment.

Finally the changes ended and Twilight let go of the Heart which floated back to where it had come from. Twilight looked down at herself and grinned. Now came the big test.

Dispelling the Air Bubble around her head, Twilight took her first lung ful of air. She let out a happy squee when she didn't drown and was soon breathing normally.

Soon Twilight began to swim all around the room, enjoying the feeling of power her new fins gave her. Novo and Skystar couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

Twilight soon swam over and gave Novo a big hug, one she was happy to return. "Thank you. Thank you for all this," Twilight said.

Novo smiled down at Twilight. "No. Thank you Twilight, though that's not quite right now is it?"

Twilight was confused as she looked up. "What do you mean?"

Novo's smile grew. "You aren't a regular seapony Twilight. You are something more."

Twilight felt something click at that moment. "You mean?"

Novo nodded. "Welcome home, Princess Twilight."

Author's Note

Well this should've been obviously coming if you'been paying attention. All Twilight is missing at the moment is her own Pearl Necklace.

As for the Drowned God? It's not the same as Game of Thrones. There is only one god in this universe. Every race has a name for her.

We know her as Cosmos.
