A little miracle

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Equestria is one of the most powerful and most thriving countries the world had ever known for centuries. It had made allies with other nations and help to spread the magic of friendship far and wide.

However... Some nations regretted Equestria's friendship and saw it weak and easy to take over. Those who tried, were quickly shown otherwise. Anyone who tried to take Equestria, were crushed and offered a chance at redemption for their actions.

However, those who decided to destroy Equestria weren't shown the slightest bit of mercy. And were destroyed for their greed. All from the javelin and blade of the warrior princesses, Celestia and Luna.

After imprisoning Discord and defending Equestria from numerous threats on the battlefield, the royal sisters ruled equestria together. Till Luna's jealousy got the best of her for ponys praising the sun and shunning her beautiful night and she turned into Nightmare moon.

It was a different fight. Not only did she had to battle her own sister, but the reason behind it could have been avoided if she wasn't absorbed in the praise she got for her day. She knew that once this fight was over, she'll speak more time appreciating the night and Luna's moon, and appreciating Luna more.

Unfortunately, Luna was more skilled in combat while Celestia was skilled in magic. She knew this would be a pointless fight with Luna as she was now without a trump card.

Without a doubt, this was the hardest decision Celestia had to make. With tears in her eyes, she used the elements of harmony and used them to banish her sister to the moon. But before she was sended by the elements, Luna's true self flashed for a second and said "Tia...I'm so sorry."

As she was then sended to the moon and her face had enveloped the moon. Celestia then realized what she had done. She knew she had to do, but didn't actually want to banish her. She was hoping to purify her and get her sister back.

With tears in her eyes,Celestia began to break down and said, "Luna...No, this wasn't what I wanted! This wasn't supposed to happen! Luna, come back, please! Luna! Luna!!..." With no response, she looked at the ground beneath her and said "No, this can't be happening. It can't be... No...NO!...NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

She then cried over the lost of her sister, knowing it would be a very long time till she saw her little sister once more. Till then, she grieved over her sister. Wishing things could have gone differently.


Over nine hundred and eighty five years later


Equestria had been in its longest rain of peace in its recorded history. Nopony had ever dared to overthrow Celestia for her throne for centuries. As time passed, Celestia had dove into her role as a ruler, and made friendship her goal.

However, over the years, her title as a warrior princess had faded away and that knowledge was lost over time as she became the ruler of Equestria full time rather then a warrior. Only in books and legends dose the warrior princess lay to rest.

One day, she was visiting the school of gifted unicorns, one of her duties was to visit the school and see how they were running, she saw the most impressive display of raw magic she's ever seen. She went and saw that that it was the work of a four year old filly with incredible magic locked inside her.

Celestia knew it would be a crime to leave this much raw potential all alone like this, so she took her in as her personal student. She then saw the baby dragon and over heard the teachers wanting to cage it and use it for classes. This wasn't right. It was a living creature, and didn't deserve this.

The filly, Twilight sparkle, seemed to think the same way, and protested saying "Don't lay a hoof on him!"

Celestia smiled at the filly and said "She's right. This little dragon is a miracle of life, and deserves to live life like the rest of us. Using it as a test subject would be awful way for it to live."

The baby dragon smiled and hugged Celestia as if she was her mother. She then said "Twilight, can you hold on to him for a moment?"

Twilight's confused filly mind wondered as she said "He? How is it a boy?"

Celestia giggled and said "Call it..."Alicorn instincts". Now, I believe I'll need to speak with the teachers real quick and then I'll take...umm..." Celestia then realized that she hadn't thought of a name for the young dragon.

Luckily, Twilight came up with one real quick and said "Ummm, your highness? What about Spike? He WAS hatched when my magic Spiked after that weird boom scared me."

Celestia then put her hoof on her chin and said "That WAS a loud boom wasn't it... very well. Spike the dragon it is." She then Carried Spike up with her magic and said "Twilight, be sure to report to the castle first thing tomorrow and I'll set everything up so you can be my personal student."

Twilight began to jump for joy as Celestia left with Spike and the teachers followed suit.


A few days later


Celestia was in her room with Baby Spike in his crib as she saw him sleeping peacefully. After 'Talking' with the teachers, she managed to get them to not experiment on him and instead, she adopted him as his mother.

However, something else was on her mind as well. Ever since she heard Twilight mention a big boom that caused her to spike her magic, she's been wondering what happened to cause it.

She then heard a knock at her door and said "Come in Raven." The door open and a white mare with a black mane, glasses, and a pen and ink well as her cutie mark. Her name was Raven ink well, Celestia's number one assistant.

Celestia looked at her with a smile and said "Did you find out what caused the loud booming sound that caused Twilight'a magic to Spike like that?"

Raven nodded and said "Yes, I spoke with a couple of the guards on duty that day and they all have confirmed that a some sort of explosive boom was heard a few days ago."

Celestia then nodded and asked "Was there anything about the explosive boom that standed out?

Raven then used magic to look at her notes and said "Well your highness, i-"

Celestia stopped her and said "Raven, I know you just started working as my assistant, but please, call me Tia when we're alone. No need to act all formal when it's just us, right?"

Raven blushed in embarrassment, Clearly not use to Celestia's casual self yet, as she continued "Er, yes Tia. Anyway, one of the guards said that the explosion came from Cloudsdale and that the explosion itself was a rainbow color."

Celestia then thought about it as she thought out loud "A rainbow explosion? That sounds a bit unusual...unless..."

Raven then said "Yes Tia, I began to think that too. So, I did a bit of research, and it all matchs up with all the info I got from the guards. The explosion was from a sonic rainboom."

Celestia's eyes widen and said "A sonic rainboom?! B-But, I haven't seen a sonic rainboom since my fighting days a thousand years ago. Is it possible that another Pegasus as that same potential?"

Raven then nodded and said "It IS possible. I can send a guard to go to cloudsdale and-"

Celestia shook her head and said "No, I'll go to cloudsdale myself and investigate. I wanna meet this Pegasus myself."

Raven was shocked to hear this and said "But Tia! What about the day court? And your new son? Surely you can't leave him alone like that?"

Celestia then realized that raven was right. She DOSE have a brand new son to look after. The day court was fine since Raven can cover for her, but her son was another matter entirely. She then thought of a idea and said "Raven, can you let Twilight know that she'll be spending the day with Spike tomorrow?"

Raven nodded and said "When will you be leaving for Cloudsdale Tia?"

Celestia then walked to the window and began to lower her sun and rise the moon as she says "First thing in the morning. I'm curious to see this Pegasus myself."

Raven nodded and when to deliver the message to Twilight for the morning. "Goodnight Tia. Pleasant dreams now."

Celestia then felt saddened by the comment as she remembered the feeling of losing Luna nearly a thousand years ago. As she began to get ready for bed, another feeling came rushing to her hard. A feeling of loneliness as she laid on her pillow.

She actually dreaded sleeping, not because she's the sun princess. But because her dreams for the past nine centuries, have been...lonely. she was never greased by a certain presence.

Even if it was a nightmare, she would still be happy because she knew that...SHE was nearby, pulling pranks in her nightmares and teasing her afterwards. But for all this time... nothing.

Just a void of nothingness as she sometimes let herself be vulnerable to her. She didn't care if it was dangerous to do in that state, she just wanted to see her again. To hug her, to laugh with her, to play with her, even charging through enemy lines with her with her javelin and her with her lunar blade.

She then began to cry quietly into pillow as she said before falling into another torturous sleep of loneliness. "I miss you Luna...so much. Please...come home one day."

She then began to sleep, unaware that she was about to met a certain Pegasus that will not only mend the pain In her heart, but also bring back her sister one day.


Author's Note

And part one of the origins arc is complete! I wanted to make this chapter centered around Celestia and her point of view on not only her discovering the Sonic rainboom, but also her feelings about banishing Luna, and the toll it took on her. Hopefully I did it justice and I'll see you all in part three!
