Celestia felt a soft breeze blew through her. She took a deep breath and rested her head on the soft ground. She closed her eyes. Before she cloud leave the dream she heard a flutter of wings and a calming voice approaching her.She turned around to be faced with a majestic stork."Monarch of the Sun, you've been through so much for the joy of your land and loved ones. But I've sense unhappiness in you dear Ruler. Tell me dear Ruler, what is the one thing that you desire the most?" The majestic stork gave Celestia a gentle kind hearted gaze.Celestia was aware she was in a dream and knew that the stork was a spirit. But what spirit?...what does a stork symbolize? Celestia was laying in a field resting. That's the place she always appeared in her dreams. A place to rest her mind and think clearly."How did you enter my dream oh spirit?" Celestia asked with great caution.The spirit smiled and asked Celestia the same question again. Celestia looked at the spirit's eyes with doubt. She turned away from the spirits gaze and rested her head once more on the soft ground. The gave out a soft sigh it felt no more then a whisper."The only thing I want is a Miracle, a sign that 'it' can happen," Celestia's words were only settle whispers. But the spirit could hear them loud and clear. There was a sense of sadness in Celestia's eyes and she felt weak. She felt depressed in a way.The stork spread it's graceful wings over Celestia like a shield. Droplets of lights fell from their eyes and landed on Celestia's stomach. The alicorn slowly fell into slumber. Her mind click at that very moment she knew what spirit the stork was...A spirit of Birth.*********************************************AAAGGHHHHHHH A DECENT SKETCHHHHHHAlright I'm tired I'll explain this later..enjoy the pic I guess ^^Edit: Alright you peeps keep askin bout the dad. My answer is. There's no dad......nope.If some of you are aware of my nextgen Hemerashe doesn't have a dad. She was actually a gift from the Spirit of Birth to Celestia...which she got in a dream. Celestia didn't actually experience child birth nor pregnancy in reality,only in her dreams.Headcanon:Alicorns are a powerful species. So powerful they are consider demi-gods (half gods half mortals). Because of this the majority of Alicorns are sterile (meaning they cannot produce off springs/children). This is also the reason why there are only a handful of Alicorns around (Before the Great War). When there is news brought that a child will be born the Alicorns will hold festivals and celebrations to celebrate the child/children.Fausticorn was extremely lucky enough to have two children, and those two where the apple of the eyes of the alicorns. They were a gift.....a miracle. (Of course I'm talking about Luna and Tia)Fast forward to the presence where the Alicorn Princesses are the only known alicorns to be. Between Luna and Celestia, Celestia would consider Luna the lucky one because Luna has the ability to produce children. But she wishes not to (Before she married Sombra and had Nyx). Celestia however is sterile and cannot produce children.The Sterility problem is what keeps the alicorns a handful. Yes they are immortal, but they can still get sick and die. Devil-ish Monsters had a born from the core hatred for alicorns so they would always find away to 'lessen' the population.So back to Celestia. When she knew she couldn't have children she felt devastated. Celestia isn't the kind that would fancy being lonely for the rest of her life. She always had an empty feeling in her heart. Waiting for a miracle to happen to finally fill it with light.So the story goes like this. Spirit gifts Celestia with baby > Dreams about being pregnant for 11 months (which made her sad when she woke up from the dreams) > Had the last dream about it, but this time she only saw light and heard baby cries > Woke up with a startle only to be more surprise when she was greeted by a small filly in her chambers > (will be continued : P)end of headcanonalright I know it's a mess and spelling errors are every where. But cut me some slack will ya. The PC is bein a lil crappy and I can't correct my mistakes without automatically deleting my texts.I'll post more about this.and if you're wondering yes....I based it of from some Greek mythology. Specifically how Athena was born.
