A short dialogue for a specific style contest, where two royal mares with opposing positions debate each other. (And with short I mean 851 words, not 1022.)
The only rule for this contest is to use nothing but spoken words (and no formatting) to tell the story. It was a fun endeavor so I decided to give it a try.
Here is the description of the contest:

Note: The archaic English chosen is a middle-path between readability and accuracy. Skipping hath and a myriad of changes in verbs and constructs. Hopefully the switch from Royal Canterlot voice to more modern Luna will still be noticed.
2024 June 12: Made it slightly more archaic, replacing a few more pronouns in Luna's speech. The inconsistent replacement bothered me.
