At the break of dawn, a dawn began to rise over the Kingdom of Equestria. Alerting all of its residents, they knew the time had come and everyone began to leave their homes.

As the sun rises, a yak raises its head to the call.

An earth pony, a pegasus and a unicorn have also raised their heads at the call.

A swarm of parasprites looked out to the horizon.

A lone griffin flies up the hill and lands as he looks out to the horizon as well.

A trio of hippogriffs looked to the horizon as one took to the air and flew.

The hippogriffs and many other flying animals began to take to the air and passed a giant waterfall on their way to their destination.

On dry land, a herd of earth ponies and unicorns headed to the same spot as the sunlight lit up the mountain they passed by and a flock of small white birds flew in the air above them.

A huge flock of pegasi was flying over a river.

And a herd of deer rode through the prairies as they headed for their destination.

A lone earth pony mother and her calf were walking out of their cave until they both looked to the horizon and saw a large group of Equestrian creatures heading in the same direction. Both Earth ponies hurried to join them.

A colony of Breezies ran through the trees. One of them stopped and looked down to see a pack of Kirins moving below them.

A group of bunnies quickly moved out of the way as three dragons were walking towards them when one dragon nearly crushed one underfoot.

The sun shone with its reflection on the river before a herd of earth ponies crossed it along with some deer, yaks, bison and a few hippogriffs.

As they crossed the river, a hippogriff and a griffin were riding on the back of a dragon and the birds perched on its horns. Though the dragon didn't seem to care.

Finally, all the equestrian creatures reached their destination: a huge and magnificent castle with snow-white walls and towers, the tops of the towers and their roofs were purple with golden edges and details. In front of its doors were two statues of alicorns.

This was Canterlot Castle, home to the royal family.

Standing on the balcony overlooking the beautiful city was a magnificent alicorn mare with lavender-purple eyes, a snow-white coat, a pale rainbow-colored mane with pale glimmers of light shimmering, with a matching tail that fluttered in a non-existent breeze. It bore a mark of a scorching sun on its sides. She wore a golden tiara encrusted with a diamond-shaped amethyst, with a matching ornate necklace and horseshoes, signifying royal status.

She was Celestia, the Queen of all Equestria.

Approaching her was a dazzling unicorn with deep blue eyes lined with black mascara and blue eyeshadow, pristine white fur, a flawlessly dark purple mane and tail, along with a trio of blue diamonds marking both flanks.

She was Rarity, the royal handmaiden and the most generous pony in all of Equestria.

Gracefully, Rarity bowed with respect and smiled as she looked at Celestia.

Celestia nodded and smiled back at him.

At that moment, Celestia smiled when she saw a familiar face approaching from the crowd: a zebra with blue eyes and a spiral sun marking, wearing gold jewelry.

It was Zecora, the wisest zebra in all of Equestria and a great friend to the royal family.

Zecora nodded and smiled as she walked through the crowd and up the stairs to the balcony.

When she did, she and Celestia greeted each other with a friendly hug, before turning her attention to another alicorn she was carrying something wrapped in a purple blanket, holding in her right front paw.

The alicorn had blue-green eyes touched up with pale blue eyeshadow, dark blue fur, a sapphire blue mane outlined in purple that sparkled with stardust to resemble a night sky that also rippled in a non-existent breeze with a similar tail. . A dark black stain with a silver crescent moon graced its flanks. She wore a black tiara, a black necklace with a crescent moon to match the one on her sides, and ornate silver horseshoes that signified royal status.

This was Princess Luna, Celestia's younger sister, who was acting as her royal advisor.

Celestia and Luna caressed each other affectionately as they approached.

Luna then gently removed a flap from the bundle she was holding, revealing a baby alicorn sleeping peacefully. Her fur was lavender purple and her mane had three stripes of navy blue, purple and pink.

She was called Twilight Sparkle, and she was Celestia's newborn daughter.

Celestia gave the filly a soft, loving kiss, causing her to wake up and open her eyes, which sparkled like amethyst stars. She looked at Zecora curiously as the zebra smiled at her; she lowered her cane gently onto the filly, who was curiously trying to touch him. Then she took a purple rattle out of her saddlebag and shook it in front of the filly, while she caught it with her hooves and laughed as she shook her new toy.

Next, Zecora took out a beautiful purple gem from her saddlebag, which was in the shape of a six-pointed star, and moved it over the filly's head, who smiled at the beautiful object. Zecora then sprinkles some magic dust around the gem, creating a small golden tiara. Some of the powder touched the little filly's nose, causing her to let out a small sneeze and her horn to glow a bit of magic.

Celestia and Luna couldn't help but laugh a little.

Zecora then carefully lifted the filly with her right front hoof, nodding to Celestia and Luna as she headed out to the balcony.

When Zecora reached the balcony, with her front hooves, she lifted the new heiress to the throne into the air for the crowd to see the Queen's newborn daughter.

Everyone in the crowd cheered as the dragons raised their heads and shot fire into the air as they roared.

The parasprites and breezies started blowing their trumpets and howling with joy.

And the Earth ponies and yaks pounded the ground with their hooves.

At that moment, a ray of sunlight shone through the clouds as they parted, and sunlight shone on Zecora and the Alicorn filly.

Seeing that moment, everyone bowed to the new heiress one by one. From ponies, yaks, griffins, hippogriffs, paraspristes and even dragons.

Celestia watched with pride as Zecora held her newborn daughter in the air, while everyone welcomed the future ruler of Equestria.

THE ALICORN QUEEN
