Qifrey

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

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

They were unicorns who learned through books, ancient symbols, and rules that had been created after a dark era of history. Because centuries ago, magic had been used without control.

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.

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

Every ball, gala, and royal ceremony served a political purpose.

Nobles formed alliances, important families boasted of their achievements, and prestigious academies presented their best students to society.
That is why, when Princess Celestia announced the celebration of the Great Arcane Symposium of Canterlot, it wasn't just a simple ball.

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

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

But politics bored you so much that you tried to find something more interesting. And that was when you saw him.

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

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

That motivated you to approach him.
