Villains. Enemies. Demons. Threats to the nation. Economic struggles. Diplomatic issues. Paperwork.

Celestia has to deal with so many problems all day, every day. Her sister, Luna, does her part, but even so, it is too much for just two alicorns. More so as they can see that Equestria is not at the best moment as they can see storms forming in the horizon ready to strike them down without mercy.

But Equestria still stands. And it will continue to stand. Celestia will make sure it does. But more than simple survival, Celestia must spread the influence of Equestria to all other nations on Equis. To forge a symbol that will allow her to fulfill her ultimate goal of forging a World-Wide Nation under Equestria's flag.

For peace, progress, prosperity, and security so that all can have a better tomorrow, Celestia must succeed and do so by example. For Harmony and Friendship. But she could not be the symbol she needs. It will be up to her newly adopted egg to become that symbol.

For the sake of her goal, for peace, for her Father, for Harmony and for Friendship, she will succeed. No matter what the means.
