Clover the Clever was too old and he got tired too quickly. He squinted his eyes, trying to make sense of his master scribblings, but it was useless. Suddenly the room got brighter, like a small star have descended on his studio.

"Thank you Philomena," he said and pet the phoenix next to him. Still he was too tired to continue. Yawning, he close the book and got up. The phoenix watched him move to the balcony, toning down its brightness. Clover looked far away, at the castle embedded in stone and the village beneath it.

"Grandfather..."

Clover turned around and smiled at the pink haired filly. "Why are you awake, Tia?"

"I couldn´t sleep. I had those dreams again."

"And your sister?"

"She is flying on her sleep. Again." Clover chuckled and his attention went back to the sky while Celestia moved next to him. The little earth pony couldn´t reach up so Clover magically moved a footstool so she could watch too.

"Tell me Tia, what did you dream tonight?"

"I can´t remember all of it. I saw...things. Places, creatures. There was this strange creature, made up of different animals. He looked silly. And there was this lady unicorn again. She was nice..."

Clover and her granddaughter went quiet and watched the night sky, with all its glittering stars.

"The sky looks so pretty tonight." Celestia noticed her grandfather watching down at the town. "Do you miss it, grandfather? Your old home of Equestria?"

"Sometimes." he said.

Once more, Celestia noticed the sadness on her grandfather eyes. She stood straight, like she always did during her lessons and said

"in the land of Equestria, all three races of ponies live in harmony. The unicorns use their magic to bring the night and day, the pegasi move the clouds to bring light or rain and we, the earth ponies, harvest the land, bringing food to all three races." She finished that last sentence puffing her chest in proud.

Clover rubbed her mane, showing his silent pride.

"How long must be live on this tower, grandfather?"

Clover didn´t answer her.

"I wish we could live on Equestria. In a place where unicorns, working together, create such a beautiful picture in the sky." she said, looking up.

"It is beautiful. But that shall soon change."

Celestia tilted her head in confusion.

"My mentor, he had dreams just like you. Tell me Tia, in your dreams, there is a large pony, with both wings and horns?"

"Yes, there is. She looks like that nice lady unicorn."

"He dreamed with that pony. An alicorn he called it. He fabricated an amulet for it, a gift for the pony that would control the stars."

"What? A pony that could control the stars? All by its own?!" Tia yelled.

"Yes, he had several dreams about the alicorn. In some there was more than one..."

"Two alicorns?"

"No, it was the same alicorn, facing a mirror. But the mirror showed a distorted image. He never knew what it mean´t. Two beings of different natures or the same being, faced with its internal darkness?" Clover pondered.

He then noticed Celestia look of confusion. He rubbed her head, trying to dismiss all those complicated thoughts.

"Grandfather?"

"Yes, Tia?"

- Time Limit-

"Are you disappointed that neither me or my sister are unicorns? That we cannot help you finished your master works?"

Clover grab Celestia and hugged her tight "I never thought such a thing. You two are the most magical ponies in the world and years from now, you will spread that magic across all lands including Equestria."

"But your master´s work..."

Clover rubbed a tear off. "Even if I never complete his work, I have no doubts another pony will come. One that will understand the true meaning of magic. And you will there to guide that pony on fulfilling its destiny."

Celestia finally smiled and returned the hug.

Above them the stars kept on shining, waiting for the unique pony that will one day glide among them.
