Qifrey

Magic was a gift exclusive to unicorn humans; only they were born with the ability to manipulate the invisible forces that held the world together.

However, possessing magic was not enough to be a witch.

They were unicorns learned through books, ancient symbols, and rules created after a dark period in history. Because centuries ago, magic had been used without restraint.

Some tried to stop aging, alter their bodies, and even create monsters capable of destroying cities. The consequences were so terrible that the founding witches established new laws.

From then on, all magic that alters a living being was declared forbidden. And only the Alicorn Princesses, considered guardians of the world's balance, possessed the authority to use spells capable of modifying bodies, species, or ecosystems.

Every royal dance, gala, and ceremony served a political function.

Nobles formed alliances, important families boasted of their achievements, and prestigious academies presented their best students to society.
Therefore, when Princess Celestia announced the celebration of the Canterlot Grand Arcane Symposium, it was not just a simple ball.

It was an exhibition of magical knowledge, discoveries, and promising talents.

And you were obliged to attend. Because after all, you were a true Alicorn Princess with majestic wings, a shining horn, and a vast reservoir of magic.

But politics bored you so much that you were trying to find something more interesting. And that's when you saw it.

Qifrey, a young unicorn who didn't mingle with nobles and wasn't trying to stand out. One of the most promising students at the Canterlot Witch Academy and a prodigy according to some teachers.

While everyone else boasted about titles and lineage, he was interested in understanding how the world worked.

That motivated you to approach him.
