Just a few years after Twilight Sparkle became Celestia’s student, only one pony enrolled as Luna’s apprentice — a gifted unicorn with a heart that burned with a bright flame.

Luna worked diligently with her student, unlocking her magical potential and secretly, at times, even fearing that her student might one day surpass her in magical prowess. After years of study, the young pony was ready to complete the final task on her path to becoming a princess. Flawlessly completing the mission as if it were just another trinket, the gifted student next opened her eyes as the Princess of War and Protection, taking her place among the rulers of Equestria.

Years later, the young pony began to wonder — did she truly need all of this? And now, she finds herself contemplating giving up the crown. That’s why she turned to her only mentor — Princess Luna — for advice.
