Royal Problem

Canterlot Day Court

Princess Celestia had another boring day hearing some stupid and preposterous ideas from nobles. And again these ideas were coming from the mouth of a unicorn noble who she probably hated most at the moment Skychanter. There were two reasons for this.
1. He was full of himself.
2. He was an extreme purist who thought only ponies should be allowed to live in Equestria.
And that is why I believe Spike should be stripped of his prince title and either exiled from or imprisoned he is a danger to all of the ponies he is around.

After finishing his speech Celestia rose from her throne and the room started to heat when she started to talk barely holding back her anger.
As I have told you before, you will not talk about Spike like that, he may not be of my blood, but I adopted him when he was just hatchling. I don't know how you treat your family, but he is like the son I never had. He is a hero to all of Equestria, thanks to what he has achieved. Now you and all who support you will stop this kind of behavior! Do you understand!?

At that moment courtroom doors swung open with familiar magic and the cold air was pushed inside the heated courtroom.
We require thou, attention sister!

Celestia glared towards Luna
Can't you see we are having a meeting this is better be good Luna?

Luna just rolled her eyes.
It concerns our old problem sister, and you might want to lower down the heat before you boil our subjects alive

At that comment, Celestia noticed how all of the nobles and guards were sweating and she started to reign in her magic.
Leave us this day court is over for today, and Skychanter take my words to heart and stop! Guards out this is a private matter.

All of the nobles rose from their seats and exited the courtroom fast, and lastly, guards left, closing the door and leaving the royal sisters alone.

Luna looked worriedly towards her older sister before asking.
I take it Nobles are causing trouble again? I haven't seen you this angry in a while.

Celestia just looked outside of the window and let out a sigh before talking.
You have no idea sometimes I wonder how that stallion is still a Noble Skychaser who was once again trying to get me to strip Spike of his title as the prince and either exile him or imprison him. I don't know how but it seems there was more support for this idea today. I fear there is some Purist group in our midst, and it's growing and gaining power as we speak.

Luna just shook her head in disappointment.
So they are trying to hurt our dear nephew. My Thestrals have found some pointers to this Purist group, maybe we should start a search for them and deal with them fast and decisively.

Celestia nodded her head in agreement.
Yes, we do, but with discreet, for now, I don't want any violence if it is avoidable. But enough of that you told me you wanted to talk about our problem so let us hear it.

Luna nodded and begun.
Please, sister let us tell you all before you ask questions.

Celestia sitting on her throne and nodded for Luna to continue her story.
Our archeological team has found some interesting spell tomes in the ruins of our childhood city in Dream Valley. They found...

Luna seemed hesitant to talk but continued
They found a mother and father's spellbooks, and some of the spells in them are based on dark magic. I have found a spell they used on us to ensure our safety, but the cost was something they didn't fully comprehend. You know we should have the approx same lifetime as any other pony. Well, it seems the spell they used didn't only protect us in stone from the plague, but it somehow drew in us all the lifetime of other alicorns. I believe they tried to do this in haste, so they had miscalculated something and badly. So this long age of ours seems to be both blessing and a curse. We live for a very long time but are unable to conceive.

Celestia was both horrified and interested in the reason why they were, so long living.
So I take that Twilight and Cadance will live normal lives?

Luna nodded
Yes they were magically ascended, and that was a success only because they had alicorn genes in them, I would take a wild guess that approx 20%-30% of all ponies carry them and just need the right magical push for ascension. I have studied the spells mother and father used on us and have found there is a way to break this curse on us, and we would live normally after that. Because it is based partly on dark magic it is possible to mix a magic potion to break a curse, but I have managed to crack 2 out of 7 ingredients used on it, and we can easily get them. First is the bloodline of caster so I am pretty sure it talks of our family's blood so either of our blood will do, and the second is...

Luna blushed hard.
Well Lulu what is the second one?

With a deep red face she continued
I think I will sound a bad pony if I say I am looking forward to getting it. The second one is cum Divine Dragon.

Celestia was starting to blush a little and looks her sister with a questioning look.
Not that I wouldn't mind collecting it myself Divines were passionate lovers last time I had some adventures, but how dear sister could you tell me that getting that would be in our reach if I recall right Sombra killed all of them because they were a threat to his rule. As they had magic that countered his dark magic very well. We failed them we were allies and we weren't there when they most needed us

Luna noticed the look on her sister's face and the way her face was getting the same red color she picked up on it, being as intelligent as her sister if not more by some rumors.
[iPlease, sister we had no idea Sombra would launch that cowardly attack on them, but back to the matter I know you have noticed it to you don't have to play stupid around me, or do I need to get Mistress Nightmare for you to talk about this.

Celestia was red as a tomato, and Luna knew she had won this one.
As much as I would like it, we have other matters to do. I will admit that the thought has crossed my mind multiple times, he does look very sexy thanks to his growth, and I have suspected of his lineage for a while. As for this possible potion and the ingredients we need for it, maybe we should send a copy of the list to Twilight and ask for her aid on this one but let us not tell her everything just yet.

At that moment a letter appeared, but it wasn't sent by Spike instead it had traces of Twilight's magic on it.

Help!

Princess Celestia please come as fast as possible it's about Spike we can't wake him up. He has been asleep since last night. Nothing we do seem to work his heartbeat is really low. It's like he is dying. Please, come as soon as possible.

Your Faithful Student Twilight Sparkle

After reading the letter Celestia looked up at Luna
"It seems we need to go see Spike both of us we might need to go inside his mind so I need your help on it"

Luna just nodded and with a flash of magic, they both disappeared.

In the corner there was an unicorn in shadowform smiling
"This got just more interesting"
