It was amazing. I have molded Day and Night…the very heavens themselves, into something of my own creation.

I have created New Sky.

Not only is it beautiful visually, beauty also lies within its efficiency. With the Sun and Moon set just below the horizon, the temperature sat a consistent and perfect 75 degrees. 

And the citizens love it. They love it, and love me. they practically trembled with excitement when they would see me step onto my balcony and spark my magic into the sky. They loved me so much that I would even dare to say they loved me more than Celestia.

That would explain Celestia’s behavior. Why she was so adamant about me not carrying out with New Sky. Why she wanted to throw the mundane task of ruling Night on my shoulders. She didn’t want to give me more responsibilities to better myself. She didn’t even care that she was trying to give me the Moon…something that was precious to her ‘beloved’ sister. She wanted to try and stop me. stop me from surpassing her. She still believed that I was her student. Wanted to keep the kingdom to herself.

‘She wants to keep her precious little Kingdom of the Sun.’

How dare she. How dare she try to make a mockery, a fool out of me. I’m Princess Twilight Sparkle dammit. The Princess of Magic and Friendship. I’m a force meant to be reckoned with, and she has the audacity to try and play these childish games with me.

Very well then…

She is clearly no longer has the proper mindset to be the strongest Princess, to be the head Ruler of Equestria. The citizens need a ruler who can take care of them properly. A ruler who they are excited to see every time she steps forward and change the heavens before their very eyes.

They needed me.

And as I have done since my first battle as an Element Bearer, I will rise to the challenge. I will overcome it. I will take control and do what’s best for all of Equestria. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my years, is that there isn’t always a book to guide me. I know I’ll have to do some things that will not be in any book in the vastness of Equestria, in the world…

But it will make its way into Equestrian history.

Now that I think about it, New Sky doesn’t seem too great of a name anymore. Something that amazing should have a name to match it. Something as amazing and magical, as powerful as it is.

‘Something like Twilight…’

Its narcissistic. Borderline asinine.

But its so perfect.

However, I can change it to where the citizens don’t  know any better.

Eventide…as amazing sounding as Twilight.

Perfect. Now, I need Eventide to be in the heavens forever. And I’m tired of standing by, when I’m fully capable of snatching Celestia down from her throne, and taking control of Equestria as its ruler. Its time to begin the birth of a new era.

The Era of the Kingdom of Eventide…
