Celestia flew over the vast area that was the everfree forest the moon casting an eerie glow across Equestia. Celestia did a quick barrel roll her rainbow mane always keeping the same flowing motion as she flew over the lush yet untamed land below, Having very little time to herself Celestia enjoyed every moment she could get now that Luna had returned to her duties as the night ruler of Equestia.

As she flew through the air she couldn't help the feeling that her life though Imortal was missing something she longed for company not from somepony that just viewed her as the princess but as someone that was or close to an equal she wanted a child. Celestia knew this was impossible because as the princess she chouldn't let any of the stallions be her husband as she feared they would abuse their power for their own greed.

Deciding that she needed a rest to think things through about having a child she slowly descended towards a large clearing doing a quick check that there warn't any dangers such as a manticore or worse, as she searched however she noticed an odd aura coming from deeper inside the forest.

Being the princess of Equestia Celestia knew it was her duty to investigate such things, Slowly she walked deeper into the forest getting ready to retaliate to any threats yet still encountered none. "How strange." Celestia muttered to herself not letting her guard down as she made her way closer to the aura deeper inside the forest.

Celestia continued to follow the aura until she came to a pathway leading into a cave that looked like it had been abandoned by whatever creature lived there but Celestia didn't care about that what she was more focused on was the aura within. Carefully she walked into the cave her horn casting a light that was bright enough for her to see easily yet dim enough that it wouldn't be noticed from far away. Coming towards the end of the cave Celestia caught a faint yet terrible smell but continued walking the aura so close now that she could almost see it and sure enough there it was, but it wasn't what she expected instead she saw two strange creatures completely hairless except for their heads they had arms and hands showing they only used two legs rather than four like most creatures in Equestia but what shocked her the most was the large holes in their chests blood and organs splattered around them and in the midst of this horror there in the cold arms of one of the creatures was a bundle of blood stained blankets and in this bundle of material was the aura Celestia had found and followed to this piece of hell come to life. Celestia walked to where the aura was coming from and couldn't believe what she saw for in the bundle of blankets still living was a baby.

Celestia was speechless looking at the strange offspring of these two creatures "what should I do? Should I leave it to it's fate or should I save it?" Celestia asked herself but as she said that the baby began to stir waking up with a yawn it's sapphire blue eyes opening and began to cry. Celestia hearing this realized that letting the baby die would be a heartless thing to do, Celestia used her magic to lift the still crying baby out of the bloodied blankets and soon found that the baby was male. "You will need a name child." Celestia said thinking about what to name the child when it hit her she would name him after one of her most favorite celestial events. "Eclipse your name is Eclipse... my son." and with that Celestia buried Eclipse's real parents and wished them well in the next world before turning to leave the cave but instead stood face to face with by the looks of the blood on it was the beast that had killed Eclipses parents. The beast was covered in blood stained fur the head showing a horrifying bird shaped head with a beak covered in dry blood it's front feet resembled paws of a lion but the hind legs were that of a birds Celestia easily knew this creature was a gryphon. "How dare you defile my home and attempt to steal my food." the gryphon yelled the voice clearly female

"I came here to investigate a very strange aura that I have found to be coming from this child." Celestia replied

"That 'child' is my food if you do not give it back to me I will be forced to resort to killing you to get it."

"I am taking this child into my care 'he' is a living creature and deserves to be treated as such."

"How dare you, you come into my cave, steal my food and expect me let you leave?" the gryphon yelled charging at Celestia.

As the griffin sped towards Celestia claws ready to tear at her flesh Celestia leaped out of the way saving herself from the attack still holding Eclipse with her magic. "Damn I can't fight back without putting down Eclipse and if I do that this grifin will just go after him instead" Celestia tought to herself barly dodging another attack from the gryphon. "You think you can dodge my attacks forever?" The gryphon yelled getting ready to attack again. "Wait maybe if I..." Celestia thought looking at the Entrance behind the gryphon as an idea came to her. "If you want him you'll have to pry him from my cold dead hooves" Celestia yelled at the gryphon In an attempt to get it to attack.

"You'll make a nice breakfast in the morning then." the gryphon yelled leaping at Celestia again only too late did it realise it's mistake as Celestia dodged and immediately took flight out of the cave still carrying Eclipse and out of the everfree forest with the gryphon yelling "Run cowerd but I will find you and I WILL kill you and that little meal of mine" making Celestia double her speed towards Canterlot before the gryphon could emerge from the forest and pursue making sure to keep Eclipse floating beside her side both unknowing of the adventure that was to come to Eclipse and the adventure that would change Equestia forever.
