Characters:

Princess Celestia(Nicole Oliver)
Samuel/Solaris(Misha Collins)

The Reborn Son.

My son has awoken. His wings were unkempt and required preening. I was happy to do it for him.

"Sleep now." I coo softly. "Mommy will make it all better." With that, he falls back asleep against my body, seeking my warmth. His wings fold against his back.

I fall asleep next to him, draping a wing over his body protectively. Knowing he is safe and protected by me gives me a sense of comfort.

Many years had passed for the both of them. Samuel had grown up into a fine young man. After waking up next to his mother when he first met her, he knew an explanation was in order. His memories were jumbled and he couldn't remember much about his past except for his name and his species.

From what he could remember, his mother-Celestia-had been taking care of him. With her undying maternal love and constant affection, he'd become a gentle and kind being.

For Celestia, it'd helped her deal with the loss of her sister and family. Her mother hadn't been seen in many millenia. She missed Luna dearly. Not only her but also her former pupil and someone she soon came to love as a daugnter. That pony in question was Sunset Shimmer.

She hadn't seen her little sun in so very long. Never a day went by when she wasn't thinking about her sister and former pupil. Twilight was no doubt gone for good as was Luna. Sunset, however, was a possibility she wanted to keep in mind.

Though no one else had been there for her except her son. Even though he didn't look to be the exact same species as her, she knew that it was him.

A long time ago, she'd had a son before her current one. His name was Solaris. Even though he'd been dead for a very long time, she knew that her little colt and her son weren't so different. They were exactly one in the same. Both of them had rose eyes just like herself. A trait they inherited from her.

Memories flashed through her mind as she recalled every single moment with Solaris. They'd had an argument and he'd run away. Whatever had hurt it she'd killed with her bare hooves. However, it was too late and Solaris had passed on. Her grief over losing him was never going to heal.

The motherly alicorn walked over to her human son who was asleep. He gave off the same magical energy signature that Solaris had. Joy filled her heart that moment. Her little colt was indeed alive and right next to her.

"Sleep now, my little colt," Celestia cooed, brushing a hoof through his hair as he mumbled in his sleep, "You'll remember soon enough just who I am to you." With that, she kissed him goodnight and left the room.

Memories flashed through Samuel's mind. Not of Earth but another past life forgotten. He gazed at a white alicorn that looked exactly like his mother except for his blond mane.

Tears welled in his eyes. Why had he been taken from the world he lived in? He started to recall the argument he and his mother had many years ago. Both of them had said things that they knew could never be taken back. But both were willing to forgive each other.

More memories flooded his mind, his magical aura starting to awaken as it attempted to defend him. He gazed through memories of being raised by Celestia-his mother. Suddenly, she whispered a name both of them knew.

"Solaris."

A bright, burning light enveloped Samuel, a sharp whistling sound attributed to the bright energy. He awoke, screaming as every cell in his body absorbed the influx of magic that his body regained. Atom by atom, he was becoming whole again. Prince Solaris, son of Princess Celestia.

The light dimmed down as Samuel got up and sat on his bed, sweating heavily as he panted. Energy raced through his cells, the magic of himself and his mother within him.

He closed his eyes, taking in every single memory. He wasn't just a human anymore. No, he was Prince Solaris and the reborn son of Equestria.

His golden wings extended until they couldn't. Solaris' eyes lit up with bright blue magical energy, a smile forming on his lips.

Solaris walked out of his room and down to the gardens where he knew his mother would be.

Celestia could sense her son's magical energy. She knew it was him. The son she thought had died was now back home and alive.

She had a feeling the two of them were alike. Both Samuel and Solaris had a gentle, loving nature and were never rude.

Solaris ran over and pulled his mother into a hug as she held him, not letting go.

"I'm sorry," He sobbed, "I'm sorry about arguing with you, mom. I'm sorry!" Celestia held him in her hooves and hushed him, nuzzling him softly. Even though it happened a very long time ago, she'd forgiven him. Both of them were to blame for what they said.

"Shhh," She cooed, "Mom's here. I forgave you a long time ago, my little colt. I just hope in turn you can forgive me for what I said." Celestia soothed, looking into her little colt's eyes.

"I already forgave you, mom. I didn't wanna stay mad at you." He mumbled into her chest. She laughed softly. This was the Solaris she remembered raising all those years ago.

Celestia kissed and nuzzled him, content to dote on him like she had when he was young. Despite having grown up, to her, he was her little colt and he always would be.

"I love you, my sweet little colt. Never forget that." Celestia cooed, brushing a hoof through her son's hair.

"I love you too, mom." Solaris said softly, hugging his mother tightly.

The many years of guilt Celestia felt for losing her son vanished as the bond between the both of them was healed. They were truly mother and child again.

The two of them were content to stay like that for the remainder of the day. Mainly Solaris as he enjoyed being held by his mother. Celestia had missed holding Solaris close after he had 'perished' and it'd broken her heart. Now he was back she could put everything behind the both of them.

Nothing was more precious of the bond between mother and son.
