Chapter 9

Nightmare Moon was sad.

She was sad because her past still haunted her.

She had taken over Equestria and banished Princess Celestia. The ponies now lived under her beautiful, eternal night.

But she remembered those years being shy and anxious. She was ashamed of her actions as Princess Luna. Especially that one Nightmare Night fiasco, with the spiders. That was terribly awkward.

How could anypony forgive her? She couldn't even forgive herself. Her past as a moody redeemed ex-villain haunted her. She could feel the stares of her subjects burning into her. They never talked about it, but she knew they were judging her. Bitter over the pony she used to be.

Each night she punished herself within her own dreams.

But the wounds never closed.

Nightmare Moon remained sad for the next thousand years.
