Chapter 5: The Past and Present Realign


As I wondered outside the shack I found a dirt road that looked like it lead down into some sort of town, it was small had a few buildings, but there weren’t so many ponies. I stumbled into to town, it was a bit hard to walk while on an empty stomach, but I managed. I can’t really remember anything after that, I believe that I fainted. Some family pony had happened to pick me up off of the streets, I was very thankful. As days passed on this family started to guilt me into doing things just for them. I still did what they wanted, I was nice about it to. I didn’t want to hurt anypony’s feelings, I was picked up off the road.

When I was excelling in school, they took me out because they felt I was drowning their daughter in shame. I didn’t think it was that much fair, but it happened to be that I somehow remember my past life so I really didn’t need school. The teacher was very confused of why they pulled me, they lied to him about them sending me off to a better school. It was outrageous, but I didn’t really care. Now I sit here writing in this journal I found randomly. I really just wanted to jot down my thoughts, but more and more things flooded my brain I didn’t know when I would stop, but I hope it would soon.

I woke up the next morning feeling a bit weird, I wasn’t greeted with a chore list, I wasn’t being yelled at. It was so quiet, I took a stroll into the kitchen to notice that nopony was home. I did all of my known chores, then walked outside. It’s kind of funny how things can just go to crap after a few hours…

Things were not quite normal, maybe the fact that city hall of ponyville was upside down and was floating just a bit off the ground. I know this time, when Discord had ruled right before Celestia and Luna turned him to stone. Maybe in this time frame I had to find something relating to Luna’s depression maybe this is when she fell from her high throne. Taking a walk into town square it only seemed that discord the ruler in these parts liked to sit on his throne drinking the “glasses” of chocolate milk and throwing away the chocolate. As time went by, two alicorns approached Discord’s throne like explained in “old”, or I guess current times. The two sisters joined together, although one detail may have been a bit switched around. Luna the younger sister held up only two of the elements: Honesty, and Kindness. While Celestia held the other four.

Time went on after the fight, the two sisters focused on building their kingdom of light, where the sun would light up the day, and the moon would give enough light during the night to see, but not disturb those who were sleeping. Maybe Princess Luna had set this up so the sleepers would be in a deep sleep so her entering their dream realm wouldn’t wake them. Ponies during the day didn’t acknowledge the fact that Luna was preventing nightmares, because they weren’t happening, so during the day the only pony to get praise was her sister, the Princess of the Sun, the light that guides everyone on their path. As the years went on Luna fell into a deep depression that controlled her, jealousy drove her. After the wars with Sombra Luna’s army of the shadow guard grew larger, and with the jealousy and anger built up, Luna eventually declared war on Celestia for not crediting her to her own place in the kingdom and suggesting to take over the day/night cycle overall. During this period ponies around the world would wake up every night from the same nightmare: Nightmare Moon, she abused her power to enter ponies dreams, and never let her sister’s kingdom sleep. Riots began the next week. When all seemed lost Celestia gathered all the last defenses she had to prepare to unleash the elements of Harmony onto her sister to banish what ever creature possessed her. Although they didn’t have enough time, sleep deprived, and exhausted the soldiers couldn’t hold her off long enough to charge the spell. So only partial effects came from its rainbow colored beam. When the fight commenced Luna’s hatred of her sister had almost won her the fight, but in the one moment she was preparing for her sister’s ultimate punishment: Banishment from time itself. Celestia took advantage, and used the almost fully charged spell on her sister, but instead of only banishing the creature that possessed her sister, it took her with it. Now this is where she resides here in the dream realm, also known as the moon.
