Segregation in Equestria

Princess Luna's perspective

Tia has been so difficult lately. She is all for this evil discrimination, this gross miscarriage of justice. She is aiding the unicorns, which is silly, because can they fly gloriously across the sky, or buck stronger than the strongest bull? All breeds have different qualities, and as alicorns we should see that more than anypony.

Water drips from the top of the cave. I sigh. Tia will not see sense, I know it. But she is the elder, is she not supposed to know better? I watch a spider crawl up the wall and think about my feelings. I remember the hatred from Nightmare Moon. She is still there, waiting in the back of my mind. Occasionally she squeaks “let me out!” angrily.

I hear chattering from the front of the cave. It sounds like little fillies, but there is a lower voice that may be a colt.

“Why are you flying up there?”

“Oh.....I, um, hate saturated feathers, I’m, um, drying out my wings”

“Who goes there?” I say

They quieten down.

“Shh, maybe if it can’t hear us it will leave us alone,”
“We should fight it,” whispers the colt. “I’d kick it’s butt”
“Shut up!”
“Shut up yourself!”

“It is I, Princess Luna....?”

“PRINCESS LUNA?”

“Yes, come to the back of the cave”

“Princess Luna” The purple pegasus said and knelt.

“Princess” The one with the Octavia-like mane style said. She knelt.

“Nuh... Puh... Lun.....Luna” The small pink one mumbled. She knelt clumsily.

“Oh, Uh- Princess?” Said the orange colt.

“Hi” Said the blue pegasus.

Instantly I see in them the raw power of the elements. What happened to Twilight Sparkle, Fair Fluttershy of the quiet voice? Applejack, whom everyone liked? Yet these ponies are quite truly the next elements. What will happen that will force them to come into their powers?
Suddenly I am afraid. Will Nightmare overpower me again? Will she take over? What will I do? I am afraid the Elements might not be able to stop her this time. Twilight Sparkle barely stopped her before, and now.......
