The Weight of The Crown
Part l: The Birth of a Princess
Load Full StoryNext ChapterKing Sombra was sitting in the waiting room hearing the screams of his wife. Sombra didn't want to be a father really but it was in the Royalty Rule Book which must be followed at all costs. Sombra used his magic to make the rule book appear. It had a royal blue cover and it was HUGE with over 4 million rules! Sombra cleared his throat and began to read the big dusty book.
"Rule 777 Even though you are an Alicorn you must continue the royal bloodline just in case if something happens." Sombra flipped threw the book for a while until the screams stopped. A bright pink unicorn with a dark pink mane in a white uniform walked out holding a clipboard in her hooves.
"King Sombra the birthing went perfect! The Princesses and your newborn is ready for you." Sombra nodded at the mare and pushed opened the door. Luna and Cadence were by the sides of the bed and Celestial had a pink blanket with a little bundle of purple fur in it. The Princesses stepped aside for Sombra to make his way to his wife. Sombra used his magic to pick up the baby to get a better look at her. The baby in his magic aura had a royal blue mane and tail with pink and purple streaks and her fur was a beautiful lavender.
"What would you like to name her dear?" Celestial thought about what Sombra said for a second then an idea popped up.
"How about Twilight because she was born during twilight and my favorite grandma was named Twilight." Sombra looked at the baby that was asleep in his hooves with a smile.
"And her last name can be Crystal!" Celestial didn't like I'm not one bit. Luna was in the corner thinking with Cadence.
"Sister what about Sparkle because in twilight the stars sparkle the brightest!" Celestial looked at her sister with approval and then looked at Sombra. Sombra nodded and used his magic to put Twilight back in her mother's hooves.
"You are the best gift that any mother can ask for." Celestial snuggled into Twilight's fur and Sombra hugged his girls. Luna lower the moon and Celestial raised the sun with her magic. Cadence stepped forward towards the new family.
"As the Princess of Love I can feel that this family is full of it and not one bit of hate. Also my gift for Twilight is that she will be loved by all of Equestria." Cadence used her magic to place a spell on the baby and backed away for Luna.
"Princess Twilight Sparkle my gift to you is to protect you from the darkness that once corrupted me." Luna placed the spell on her and wiped a year from her eye. Sombra was next, then it was Celestial turn.
"My Little Princess my gift to you is for you to always be bright like a crystal and know good from bad." Sombra's horn lit up as he placed the spell on the baby in Celestial's hooves.
"My beautiful daughter my gift to you is whenever there's darkness you will also see the light at the end of the tunnel." When Celestial finished the spell, Twilight woke up and showed her purple eyes for the first time. Celestial and the others couldn't help but stare into her eyes hypothesized by their beauty. Finally after a while Visiting Hours were over so every one had to go to let Celestial and Twilight sleep. Before Sombra left he came over and kissed his girls on the head.
"Goodnight my princesses."
Two days later the royal family was ready to announce the birth of Princess Twilight Sparkle to Equestria. Sombra grabbed a golden crown with pink crystals in embedded in it and placed in on Twilight's head. Of course it was too big and almost fell to the floor and Celestial used a spell to size it down. Everypony in Equestria was going to be there to celebrate and coo over Twilight. King Sombra placed his crown and Celestial's crown on their heads and walked out onto the baloney to be greeted by Star Swirl.
"Greetings Star Swirl my mentor." Celestial said bowing with Luna following. Sombra held Twilight in his fore hoove waiting for Star Swirl to begin.
"Ah King Sombra how are you?" Star Swirl looked at Sombra's messing mane and bloodshot eyes.
"I'm so tired Twilight wouldn't stop crying last night!" Sombra handed Twilight to Star Swirl and used a spell to give him more energy for the day. Star Swirl walked to the edge of the baloney with Twilight still in his fore hoove.
"Ponies of Equestria today we are here to welcome our newest Princess!" Star Swirl said using his Royal Canterlot voice making the crowd fall silent.
"The daughter of King Sombra and Princess Celestial of Equestria is here today with us at last! I welcome Princess Twilight Sparkle!" Star Swirl used his magic to hold up Twilight so all the ponies could see. Automatically everypony in the crowd bowed to their newest Princess and cheered.
"Twilight! Twilight! Your so amazing!"
"She's my new favorite Princess!"
"All hail Princess Twilight Sparkle!"
Many ponies in the crowd were cheering over the newest Princess. Star Swirl handed Twilight back to Sombra and Celestial. The new parents hugged their baby then walked back into the castle for the party. Sombra stopped and looked down at the crowd thinking he saw somepony familiar. He didn't see anything so he just walked into the castle following his wife.
"Sombra do you think you can just betray me and get away with it?" A pony in the shadows said disappearing into the castle. A pony walked in the front of the castle easily getting by the guards with their disguise. The pony had five others following behind them just in case something happens. They all walked upstairs to be greeted by the royal couple and their baby.
"Hello Filthy Rich, welcome to the party." The pony looked confused but then remembered the disguise. The pony and her followers transformed into Queen Chrysalis and her guards. Sombra used his magic to blast at her guards but they were to fast and they knocked Celestial over. Twilight Sat on the floor playing patty cake not caring what's going on. Chrysalis charged for the baby but Sombra jumped on her knocking her to the floor.
"Sombra we could have ruled together but instead you betrayed my and fell in love!" Chrysalis snapped at Sombra.
"I realized how bad I was making ponies my slaves, destroying the Crystal Empire so I changed and Celestial help me. I knew betraying you was the right thing and getting rid of you too." Sombra was about use his magic when the other changlings attack him. Chrysalis got up and walked over to a struggling Sombra.
"His mine but you can have Celestial and the baby's love. Now go and feed my children!" Chrysalis was about to suck all of Sombra's love away but Twilight started crying. The changlings guard named Mastitis scared the baby causing he to cry.
"Make that noise stop!!!" Chrysalis and the others were covering their ears. Twilight sneezed sending all the changlings flying all the way back to their land. Sombra and Celestial checked Twilight to make sure she wasn't hurt or anything. No pony was hurt or so they thought.
"Dear your horn it's broken!" Celestial shouted pointing at a little nub of what's left of his horn. Sombra felt the nub with his hoove and gasping in shock.
"During the battle my horn must have been broken off. Is it in the room somewhere if SP we can restore it with a healing spell but it needs all the Princesses." Sombra and Celestial started to look around the room using their magic to lift and move things. But the horn wasn't anywhere in sight or probably Equestria for that matter. They stopped searching after awhile and decided it was gone.
"My beautiful horn!" Sombra tried to use magic but it only sent little sparks out. Celestial hugged and her husband and gave him Twilight to see if it would work. It did.
"At least I have my family. Now are we going to sit here and feel sorry or our we going to party!" They all walked out of the room as a family and partied until their hooves gave in. But some creatures weren't happy not one bit.
Chrysalis woke up in her hive to see she had a horn in her hooves. Not just any horn, Sombra's horn. Chrysalis grinned an evil horrible grin and did an evil laugh of course.
"Ha ha ha ha! Sombra my old friend what's a unicorn without their magic?"
