A day when the sun sets

Sunset lowered her head, feeling as an ancient scepter was touching her mane as it was being held above her head.

"...Do you give an oath,from today and until the end of your days,no matter if they are numerous or short, to serve the citizens of Equesteia?" eachoed the royal voice of Princess Luna. Her ancient-equestrian accent was surprisingly fitting for this ceremony. The Princess of Night was bestowed the duty to take the oath for the first in a thouthand years Equestrian coronation.

"I swear - everyday that I am on the throne - to serve the pony's of Equesteia with all my might and bringing the warmth of the day to even the coldest of times," said determined Sunser, feeling as the scepter was lifted, and her head was a little heavier from her very own crown.

"Then, Sunset Shimmer, from now on you are crowned as the Princess of Equestia, Princess of Sunrise" said Starswirl, the second eldest pony of Equestria. Long time ago he crowned Celestia to rule, when the Equestria was just founded, and now he was doing it again.

Using her magic she wore all the other new regalia, which she was granted afterwards. Sunset turned around to the balcony. There was no moon or stars anymore, but it was still really dark. The last part of the Princess work was left...

Everyone knew it and snuffed the candles and lamps, which were the only source of light until now, leaving the hall in pure darkness for sometime.

Walking out onto the balcony - Sinset stopped for a moment, closed her eyes...Her food landed of here regalia, and one particular fiery stone in it. She finaly used the last gift of her teacher, feeling how last of Celestia spark of magic wash over her body, enough to feel the connection with a sun.

Her horn had the gold aura cover it, while she concentrated like never before. From the horizon the sight of the Sun rising was seen, commencing the will of the it's new guardian, it was quickly rising up, until came to a zenith. Sunset felt the magic covering her like never before, feeding every cell of her body with energy, a trully unforgetable feeling.

Pony's which gathered outside, and the ones which participated in the Ceremony, started stomping, clapping with their hooves. The entire Equestria was filled with celebration. Turning around, Sunset smiled to herself - her spine had a pair of beautiful golden wings now, fitting for the color of her slightly-lighter fur. She couldn't help herself and spread them, bathing in the sunrays. She proved herself worthy.

And as one day was changed by the other - the same way Equestria at that day was ready to meet a new era with bravery and determination.
