Sphinx # 1: Honored are we, to gaze upon the child of the sun. We congratulate you, oh might and fierce goddesses of the great sun and harmony, on your offspring.

Twilight: (smiles) Thank you.

Celestia: [Nods]

Sphinx # 2: May we look upon the child now?

Celestia: You may.

Sphinx # 2: Ah… It isn’t divine?

Sphinx # 3: Of course, this young cub is a demigod, why would he be divine like his mother.

Sphinx # 1: Ah yes, the Goddess of harmony was indeed, mortal before her ascension, so it makes sense.

Sphinx # 3: But the child is curious nonetheless.

Celestia: Curious?

Sphinx # 3: Never have we seen such a birth. To be born as he.

Twilight: From two mares? It’s quite common in Equestria.

Sphinx # 2: We speak not of your… strange ways, oh divine one, but of the stars he was born under.

Celestia: (mutters to herself) Stars…

Twilight: Oh? How interesting. I’ve heard of that, though I’ve found no connection between what star a foal and anything they do in life but I am curious. What star was he born under?

Sphinx # 3: All of them.

Twilight: …All of-

Sphinx # 2: The celestial bodies that bring us light in the darkness, they all watched as this little one was brought forth. This is quite… strange since they rarely observe anyone’s birth. Of course, this is the child of two goddesses so of course they’d take notice.

Twilight: Wow, that is… interesting. Isn’t it, Princess?[Sees a frowning Celestia] Princess?

Celestia: …Yes… how interesting.

A bit about the the birth of Prince Sirius Veil.

When the little one was born, Discord had noticed it was a particularly starry night. He’d brought this up to Celestia, who wrote it off as nothing. Today however, having heard it again, was a bit concerned. Twilight, however, was curious, thinking her son was probably destined for great things.

The Sphinx’s only came by to pay their respects to Celestia and Twilight, wishing to look upon divinity. They had previously been the star readers for the Sphinx Royalty but chose to journey to Equestria  to see Sirius. The sphinx worship Celestia and the other alicorn’s as goddesses, though they mainly focus on Celestia. Due to their reliance on the Sun, they see her as most important and respect her more.

After this however, they grow interested in Sirius, curious about the fate of this demigod who is watched so closely.
