There, in front of her. She saw a baby, giggling in princess Sol's bossom as Moon and Dusk light merely smiled at it.

From what she could tell, the baby was reptilian?, it was such a strange sensation. It reminded her of her parents, it felt like she was watching herself as a child. Without a care in the world. Her parents still with her, her big bro alive and her sister on the way to delivery. It made some tears
go down from her face.

Her adoptive fathers while not as moved by this, were curious. Who was this child?, who it was?, what kind of reptile it was?. Did it had something. To do with the rainbow beam?.

"Hello, dear ponies. What could we do for you?" said sol, in a voice almost matternal to her subjects.

"We are sorry for intruding princess, we just were concerned with the whole situation regarding the magic beam and the partial destruction of the palace". Summarized her aunt, pilot.

"Hmmm. I can see why something happening to us, or putting us at risk would worry you, specially considerint your position as of now." , Then sol asked in with ignorance and innocence looking at the 3 of them "oh. I dont see Red chief, is he resting in your abode?"

This made all good mood turn sour, as a look of utter sadness overcame the 3 ponies in front of her, as silence filled the room for some heavy seconds., that felt like minutes.

However before any of the Apples could answer, as soon as she deduced what had hapoend, she broke the thin veil of silence with an apologetic tone.

"Oh. I see... im deeply sorry my little ponies, i... knew not of your loss. What a shame, specially in such a marvelous day as today". Sol mourned in empathy fot them.

"What exactly of today is marvelous, your highness??" Amber asked in a mix lf genuine confusion and sarcasm caused hy despair.

"Amber!" Her parents amdonished.

"No, its fine." Sol calmed the ambient. As she looked to the filly she commanded softly "come here for one moment".

The filly merely did what she was told to and was arms length to he ruler.

Unwrapping the towel covering most of the baby's body and face, that only showed a tail before, now gave a unique view to amber. Looking back at her were 2 pools of deep emerald eyes, that glowed dimly in the dark of the royal hall. A small green spikes in the shape resembling a crown on its head, green scales in the stomach and finns, adorning his face was a smile with barely any teeth, bright as the sun the ruler represented. Only looking at her, while his claws small and soft like most of his body with a warm lavander scale pattern reached for her.

Leaving the shock of both her and her aunts felt at the moment at bay, after seeing what they now knew was a dragon baby, a creature that in their knowledge by all means was supposed to be extinct safe for the unhatched salvaged egg of the late diplomats that was close to rotting and had caused heir rulers to make a contest to find someone who could hatch their (unoficial) adoptive son/nephew. Something they knew since almost 2 years ago when the royal call was made, as they being a crutial part of the uppercrust of modern society needed to be aware of.

Amber knew it was a dragon however because books with images of history property of her family were forced on her to learn history, it also helped that her adoptive parents were live whitnesses of the draconic genocide 3 years ago. Amber however didnt focus on that.

What she did see however was that here in front of her, laid a baby that from an egg that by all chances of fate was likely to rot, being feisty and full of life gigglying in the rulers arms and smiling at her. It was almost like something or someone WANTED him to live.

Looking at this child, that just like her had lost her parents, any posible siblings and was thrown into a wild new world unrelated to it, and yet... smiling...she could feel a strange feeling go over her body and soul...it was as if for one moment all the pain and frustration go away, as an innocent child showered wuth a look lf pure curiosity and affection.

It had been so long since someone looked at her like that. A look she clearly remembers from both of her parents and siblings before-

"Want to hold him?" Sol asked in a whisper.

Did she want to?, should she?, why would she?, would her "parents" get angry?. Soon multiple questions flowed in her head.

Its funny, its almost like... she didnt know what she wanted to do anymore. She knew she didnt want her sister to die, nor her brother. She didnt want to study most of the days almost everyday, just to direct a company she barely understood its importance for the world or what good it brought others (remember she is a filly), she didnt want her biological parents to be killed. She didnt want to see her aunt mourn her sister and her brother too. She didnt want to admit how despite his cold exterior to them, and high standars for everything, his uncle did care for his kids. She didnt want to remember how she discovered her aunt crying in her husbands arms in silence in a hallway of the castle the day after her sister died while her aunt trembled holding her as she could swear he drank more of that crystal bottles everyday of wich later she would know was sider. Or how he became even more silent afterwards.

She didnt like or want much things. But for that matter what did she INDEED wanted?. She forgot the last time she thought of that.

*stomach growl* *baby giggle*

The hungry growl of the baby briught her mind back to earth for a moment.

"Oh, are you hungry little fella? Do you WANT to eat something?"
