"Starswirl The Bearded was our mentor and under his guidance, we became the Princesses of Equestria; I the first rays of the sun, Luna the ever glowing moon and stars."

Luna stared at the journal as Celestia spoke when gasping making everyone look at her, she pointed to the journal,
"The stars are wrong! The constellation is incomplete!"

Twilight looked closer before seeing the mistake, she touched one of the stars on the cover and with a little nudge pushed it to the side hearing it click into place, the journal now open.

"It's open!"
They all said in sync before turning to the first page, Starswirl's voice suddenly coming to life as it read the words in the book.

Luna.
She is to become the Princess Of Moon and Stars yet her training is still incomplete, this war has decimated all peace, The Queens now fight for power and while one wishes to destroy our Queen fights for life in all. I sense within her great fear but noble responsibility. I only wish I had the power to comfort her; The Princes and Princesses have all gone to fight alongside the Queen, only the young remain behind for if our forces are defeated they are the last of our power.
Celestia and Luna have a great duty ahead and I foresee a tragedy when they are grown but I cannot fret of the future, I can only prepare for it.

The Queen's Heir has been born, she is an Alicorn, she is our last hope. The war seems never-ending; Luna, Celestia, Terra, Splash, Ember, Cadence, hurricane. Protect Princess Nova, save her at all costs.

Let us hope that the Queen, Sombra and the others win this war.

.........

The war is over but the Queen and Princess have vanished along with the rest of the nobles. All that remains are Luna, Celestia and Cadence, I will remain the stability Equestria needs until they are ready. Cadence's transformation was halted by Chrysalis, when the time is right I shall have Celestia learn the power to give her the Alicorn power.

Luna, if you have found out how to unlock my diary please urge Celestia and Cadence.

Find Princess Nova Light and the Queen.

For a moment every pony was silent until Rarity asked,
"What does all this mean?"

Celestia looked to Luna who was staring at the journal before speaking.
"I think it would be best for us to explain..."
"I think tha' would be a good thin' your highness."

"Long ago when Luna and myself were fillies there was a war between Queen Chrysalis...and Queen North."

All the mares looked between themselves with faces ranged from shock and surprise, Twilight the most perplexed.
"Queen who?" Pinkie squeaked,
Celestia continued.

"Queen North Wind, the First Alicorn in existence. Representing Earth Unicorn and Pegasi together for the first time, when the most gifted unicorns realised that even though they had numbers they were still weaker than Chrysalis and her forces."

Celestia took a moment to brace herself before continuing,
"So the Elders of Unicorns came together and decided to place their power into North Wind and turn her into the first Alicorn, unknowingly also transforming her unborn foal. She was willed into an Alicorn, throughout the war she turned others into Alicorns to ensure a future for all ponykind should she die from battle."

Rainbow Dash lifted her head, her eyes wide.
"Wait you're telling me that there were more than three Alicorns?"

Celestia gave a short nod and looked to Luna who smiled softly as she continued,
"It was at that moment that Luna and myself were chosen to also become Alicorns."

Luna spoke calmly.
"If I recall correctly I believe the Queen's words were; 'You sisters are fairer than all with eyes of all-knowing, you are like Yin and Yang and so thee shall be the princesses of the radiant sun, glowing moon and stars.' Her voice was wonderful..."

The mares all glanced at each other when Celestia gave a short nod,
"Twilight, I will bring all journals I can find of Starswirl's to you shortly. We must find Nova Light if she is truly still alive,"

"She is our future now."
