We all know that, when Celestia and Luna handed over the throne to Twilight, she accepted it. But what if that hadn't happened like this? What if Celestia was keeping a secret behind all of this?

When Celestia announces her intention to make Twilight the ruler of Equestria, her young student doesn't take it as well as she hoped, causing a rift in the friendship between the two alicorns.

Unfortunately, this incident happens with the arrival of a dangerous villain, who forces Twilight to flee her home, leaving her friends behind. Luckily, the princess of friendship will have the help of Tempest Shadow in this journey. On her side, Celestia teams up with Spike and the Elements of Harmony to find her student.

On this adventure, Twilight, Tempest and Celestia will have to face their insecurities and their pasts. And Twilight will discover the real reason why her teacher wanted to give her the throne. But the further they advance, the closer they get to the dark forces... and they are waiting for them.

This is my first adventure fic! Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated!
