There lies a book, one of prophecies and histories. The inlay, silver, and the cover adorned with a crest of a beautiful alicorn. The book created with leather of a species long forgotten. The writing, written with the blood of an author long dead. It’s whereabouts, unknown and hidden. In the middle of the book, the very last entry, this is what is written;


Once upon a time, in a magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the youngest brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned the slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one’s heart had transformed her into a warrior mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon.
She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: The elements of Harmony. However, instead of banishing her, she would strike down her younger sister and Nightmare Moon won. The younger sister assumed control over Equestria and maintained eternal night, bathing Equestria in the darkness it deserved. The eldest sister was banished and never seen again.
