Heir to the solar throne

The broken sun

"I'll give you my decision in two days time..." said Celestia with a sad tone, the nobles just glare at each other."I have to right to think about it" she said

"You shouldn't think about, the choice is obvious!" the first noble said, the second noble stop the first one with his hoof.

"Very well! Two days and not another day more" said the second, Celestia nod her head, she took Twilight in her magic and walk away. Celestia returned to her chambers, she place Twilight onto her bed.

"I'm sorry mommy" Twilight said with her ears against the back of her head, Celestia just shook her head at her.

"It's not your fault, my little star" said Celestia with a reassured voice

"What's going to happen?" ask Twilight, Celestia just sat next to Twilight and took her into her hooves

"I don't know my dear...but there no way I'm going to give you to the changelings" she said, as she gave Twilight a nuzzle

"What are you going to do?" Twilight ask, Celestia thought of something for a moment

"Words of this will get out...it's going to take years for ponies to forget" mumbled Celestia, she assumed it could a thousand years for her incident to be completely forgotten from history. But times was something that wasn't on Twilight's side, Twilight was an alicorn yes, but Celestia wasn't sure if Twilight inherited her immortality. Twilight couldn't live a normal life that Celestia wanted for her, Twilight would always been in danger no matter what, no friends, rejected by everypony she met. Celestia loved her daughter with all of her heart, but she couldn't risk the lives of her subjects for her selfish reasons and not to mention the nobles would give Twilight to the changelings without second thought.

"Mommy?" Twilight tap her mother's hoof

"Twilight it's time for bed alright?" said Celestia

"But what about your problem?" she ask, Celestia kissed Twilight on the forehead and mention her to leave

"Goodnight, little star" smiled Celestia, Twilight smiled back and went to her room. Celestia waited for a few minutes before she stood up, Celestia decided to see her good old friend Star Swirl the breaded. Star Swirl wasn't the young stallion he used to be, he had became a very old stallion, who's lived well beyond the age expected for stallions.

"Celestia" Star said with his calm and gentle voice, Celestia just sat down near his bed; the old stallion had many illnesses which weren't much of surprise for a stallion his age. "What do I owe this visit?"

"I assume you know by now?" ask Celestia, she poured some water into a glass and place it next to him, Star Swirl gently nodded his head.

"I wasn't too surprise...after all you were searching for happiness" he said softly

"The nobles want me to sacrifice my daughter for Equestria safety...but I can't...no parent would ever do such a thing!" said Celestia, Star Swirl lifted his weak hood and place it onto Celestia's. "I have to protect Equestria no matter what...but I refuse to give Twilight to the changelings...I don't know what to do?"

"There is a way" he said, Celestia stared at him with surprise

"There is?" she ask, Celestia wanted to hear his idea, if she could keep Twilight and Equestria safe.

"But you won't like it" he continued, Celestia just took a deep breath

"I still want to know" she insisted

"Place Twilight into a deep sleep" said Star Swirl, Celestia couldn't understand what he meant, placing Twilight into a sleep?

"Why?" she ask
