Chapter 1 : Birth

In a remote area of a land forgotten by any divinity there was the Kingdom of Hyponia in which many races lived including dragons, hippogriffs, buffaloes, some anthropomorphic races but above all the ponies that made up the vast majority of the population.
Very often there were couplings between these and from this were born hybrids that could have physical or magical characteristics of both parents.

It was a temperate night in April and outside the moon and the stars glowed the royal palace, in the sovereign's room the midwives were around the double bed and on it was the queen who was in tears and crying for the pain while her husband held her hoof and talked to her.

"You can do it my love, you just have to push a little and then everything will be over"
"Your grace, her husband is right, soon you will be a mother and you will have a beautiful foal" even the midwives tried to encourage the poor mare who had sunken eyes and a ruffled mane

"Ahhhh" continued to hear the screams of the ruler who with all the strength that had remained she was trying to give birth

The screams continued until ... .. "weee weeee" you could finally hear the crying of the tiny foal that still stained with blood and with closed eyes emitted the sound of life even if it was shrill and somewhat annoying.

"Your Highness, she is a female!" the midwife said with joy as she cut the umbilical cord.
"You did it Cherry, our daughter was born and she is beautiful" Brisk Berrytwist said as he addressed her beloved of him.
"Yes, we will finally have a new filly in our family" she said in a tired tone to her husband who finally realized what she had been through, "now you can sleep" he told her and so she did.

After the mare fell asleep all the medical personnel cleared the room and the king had moved to another room to allow his wife to have a well-deserved rest; between her hooves he had the little child who was already asleep and wrapped in a soft blanket.
Her fur was a dark orchid color those, her mane it was pink, however you could not see horns and wings as they began to appear a few months after birth to facilitate the exit of the baby from the uterus.
Brisk Berrytwist was rocking her as he sat in an armchair thinking about what was going to happen from now on, he had heard other stallions talking about how difficult it was to look after children for the first few months but certainly this would not have discouraged him, as being a king he had to deal with problematic situations every day and very often the nobles behaved like children.

A few minutes had passed and at a certain point he felt that the newborn was waking up, the first thing he noticed was the awkward movements she was trying to do but then immediately turned her gaze towards him and opened her eyes for the very first time; what he saw, however, made his heart jump and his blood froze in his veins: the girl's irises were beautiful opal but that was not what had upset him, the eyes seemed to shine in the semi-dark room and the pupils did not the usual circular shape but rather they looked like those of a reptile or a feline.

The king had jumped up and the little girl immediately began to cry, not knowing what to do, he began to walk around the room trying to think of something, some theories went through his mind: the baby could have some malformation, maybe a disease, perhaps this is normal and would have settled over time, at worst his wife may have had a relationship with a member of another species but immediately excluded him.
In the end, the only thing to do was to contact someone specialized, so he headed for the medical wing of the building where doctors and even pediatricians had been present since his wife became pregnant.
When he arrived at the clinic, everyone stopped doing what they were doing and bowed respectfully to their sovereign, "What can we do for your Highness?"
Brisk stepped forward and folded what had happened as the medical staff listened intently, at the end of which they had proposed to have blood tests on the child and both of her parents; after having drawn the blood of everyone including the mother, who was still asleep unaware of the situation, they told the king to wait a couple of hours to make the appropriate investigations.

It had been a long time and Brisk had fed the little girl and changed her diaper, following an unfortunate accident, now he was sitting back in the chair and was waiting for the call back to get the results of the tests. The wait was long and he was about to fall asleep, given the lack of rest, were it not for a maid who had come to call him on behalf of the doctors.

When he arrived, a pony in particular showed up who was wearing a white coat and a serious face, "Good evening majesty, I'm Steel Stud and I have been investigating the situation of the princess, I can immediately tell you the child has no disease. or malformation ... ". the pediatrician had stopped talking so that the sovereign could understand clearly and when the other made a sign that he understood he resumed in a serious and professional voice, "from what we have been able to understand apparently in youre family there was some ancestors dragons who have transmitted some characteristics of their race in your genes, however these characteristics do not always appear and remain dormant for some generations, but it happened that in this case they manifested themselves in the newborn ".

After a couple of seconds the king replied: "So there is nothing to worry about?"
"Apparently is correct, but it would still be early to tell since we still don't know if other dragon features such as wings, teeth, tail, and scales might show up," the doctor replied quietly.
Brisk sighed and said, "I understand, we will see in the next few months but in the meantime I will inform the queen of all this."
"Certainly sire, we will try instead to obtain more information about it."
After which the king returned to the room he had been in before he waited for his wife to wake up and tell her about the troubling matter.

The sun was high and illuminated the Kingdom of Hyponia, in the master bedroom the queen had opened her eyes and looked around, she did not see her husband anywhere and for a moment she thought that he might have decided for once to wake up before, so she decided to get ready for the day but as soon as she tried to move she felt a pang of pain in her pubis and had to rest, immediately the memories of the day before came back to her mind and the pain was replaced by the happiness of finally being a mother, in fact she did not see time to have her baby in her arms and hastened to shake the bell placed on the bedside table that she rarely used to call the servants.

She passed a few seconds and then a mare came forward from the door and bowed before the queen, "Good morning your Highness, how can I be of any use to you?"
"Good morning to you, I would like you to please call my husband and I would like to be able to see my daughter"
“Of course, I'll be right back”.
The attendant came out of the door through which she had entered and after a few minutes her husband who seemed to be very tired and unkempt came in, behind him the servant from before her also entered and between her clogs she had the newborn girl who was still asleep.
Cherry Petal immediately stretched out her clogs and let the little girl pass her wrapped in blankets and when she grabbed her she pulled her close to her chest to cuddle her, so she remained silent until her husband cleared his throat, gesturing to the maid to leave the room.
When it was just the two of them left and the newborn Brisk stepped forward and explained everything he had discovered the previous day in the sweetest and most peaceful way possible.

When all was said he fell silent in the room until his wife decides to speak: “I understand, but what does this mean? We certainly won't love her less just because she has some physical traits of a dragon! I have no intention of abandoning her or entrusting her to someone else if that is what you think! " she said accusingly even though she wanted to scream at him but she couldn't for fear of waking the filly.
"No no no, that's not what I meant, I could never do this to our daughter, I'm just saying that problems may arise in the future, you know that most of the nobles are conservative and firmly believe that only ponies have the right to govern, if they learn that our daughter is not quite a pony there may be opposition and they will riot as they barely accept the presence of other breeds in Hyponia. In addition, in recent years there have been conflicts between the houses that try to do everything to take power and this could give them the necessary push to be able to take the throne when it is time for our daughter to ascend. "

“So what can we do? We cannot abandon her just for what she is! " Cherry said in a thin voice as tears began to flow from her eyes.

Brisk spent a few minutes thinking until an idea occurred to him, "we could use some advanced cloaking magic on her, that way she would look completely like a pony."
“I don't know dear, does our daughter really deserve to live a lie? She should have the right to be who she is. " her mother said in a worried voice.
"You're right, maybe we should first see if she will acquire more noticeable dragon characteristics ..." the stallion was silent for a moment but then abruptly straightened up and smiled, "and then we haven't decided what to call her yet!"

Remembering this too the mother smiled and brought her free hoof to her chin and then said in a confident voice, "Fizzlepop ... Fizzlepop Berrytwist."
“It's my grandmother's name, it's beautiful and cute too, why did you choose it,” he asked her.
The queen thought for a moment and said "it is a tradition of my family: usually if you have a child you give him the name of the spouse's grandfather, and if it is a girl the name of the spouse's grandmother ... and I think it is fine with your last name” she explained.

Now that they had given her a name they just had to wait for Fizzlepop to grow up and then consider whether to use the advanced cloaking spell.

As the couple talked about what would happen from now on, they were thrilled to have become parents, they couldn't wait to hear their filly's first words, celebrate birthdays, watch her grow up and become an adult and then have her become queen. Cherry was already thinking about her wedding but her husband immediately stopped her, "My daughter will never get married!" he said anxiously and worriedly, the mare couldn't help but laugh out loud at what she heard and said, “You're already being the 'overprotective father'! She won't be with us forever but until then it will take a long time ”.
Then she looked down and saw that Fizzlepop was waking up and then began to cry, immediately the mother had immediately understood what to do, unlike the king who had spent a few minutes the night before looking for someone who could help him; then the new mother moved the blankets and placed the filly close to the hind legs near the nipples so that she could feed, in fact the filly began sucking milk greedily and the crying stopped to make room for silence.
The two sovereigns remain to observe their little daughter with pride and happiness and hope that everything would turn out for the best.
