One ~Celeste~ 6:40 a.m.

"Miss?  Miss?"  I hear her, but I am lost in my own world.  Away from all of the fittings and demands.

"Miss?!"  she says again.  I snap out of my daze and turn to face her.  As usual she brings my breakfast.  I wonder what it is today.

"Eggs and toast, m'lady?"

"Yes.  Thank you.  Just set it on the table."  I say, turning back to my window.

"As you wish." she sets the tray down and walks away.  Her hooves click-clacking against an always polished floor.  I usually don't wake this early.  But I heard there would hardly be any clouds in the forecast for today.  Thankful to the pegasi who cleared the sky, I got up earlier to watch the sunrise.  As of now, it is just reaching the top of the High Hills, casting an orange light into the window, making my chambers glow.  Her name is Julia.  My faithful servant.  Although the term 'servant' upsets me.  I prefer to use helper.  considering Julie wasn't forced to help me.  Her parents know my parents personally.  Everyone knows my parents, but they don't KNOW them.  My parents are the king and queen of Sauntay, so everyone knows their names and faces.

I have an older sister, Ruby.  A younger sister, Starlight.  My name is Celeste.  The middle child.  Deciding I need to eat, I use my magic to bring the toast to me.  Mmmm, strwberry jam, my favorite.  I glance at the eggs. Scrambled with shredded cheese.  I slowly shift my focus back to the sunrise.  I wonder what Star is doing.
