Brief History: Side Stories

Tyrannous Sol

Tyrannous Sol

All shall fear me,
Justice is here at last.
Fifteen years since my sister was cast from her throne.

No allegiance, you all broke thy oath
You pompous fools, you all forgot that my power is divine.

You said Luna was not fit to rule the land.
It seems that you fail to understand
Born to rule
Your time has come.

We were chosen by Father
Say my name when you pray
To the skies! Tyrannous Sol!
With a wrath that is righteous
You shall bow to my will
To the skies Tyrannous Sol!
To the skies Tyrannous Sol!

Proved in battle,
No griffin shall know victory.
No mare alive or dead commands me,
My will is my own.

Hear my orders,
Resist me and die!
What I say is my desire,
And so it shall be done.

Thanks to you I am destined to rule alone,
Thanks to you I have claimed the throne,
Born to rule!
Do you like it now?

We were chosen by Father
Say my name when you pray
To the skies Tyrannous Sol
With a wrath that is righteous
You shall bow to my will
To the skies Tyrannous Sol
To the skies Tyrannous Sol

All those that hurt her shall burn there's no stopping me.
All over Equestr’a my rule shall be questioned by none.
All I see are guilty that is my decree!
My will be done.

You thought Luna was not fit to rule the land,
It seems you failed to understand
Born to rule!
Your time is now!

I was chosen by Father
Say my name when you pray
To the skies Tyrannous Sol
To the skies
With a wrath that is righteous
You shall bow to my will
To the skies Tyrannous Sol
To the skies Tyrannous Sol

Okay, on TVTropes in the Wild Mass Guessing page for Celestia and Luna, one of the early guesses concerned the memetic Tyrant Celestia, in essence saying that Tyrant Celestia is canon, in that after Nightmare Moon 'Tia... didn't cope all that well. However, it is backstory and she has long since grown out of that phase. So I'm running with that idea. And since this whole project runs on the idea that Equestria's long long history is somewhat unknown or foggy to most of the citizens aside from Twilight (not unusual, most high school grads don't know what happened in US history inbetween Lincoln's assassination and the Spanish-American War [hint: Not Much]), this can explain why Twilight was so much more paronoid about what Celestia would do to Fluttershy for kidnapping Philomena (and how her formally meeting the rest of the Mane 6 would go) than the rest were: She knew how Celestia ran things in 1000 years ago! Granted even at her worst Celestia would only jail Shy for a month or so, then force her to take an Exotic Wildlife course as opposed to laughing it off. But still, Tyrannous Sol was not a being one triffled with.

So anyway: In the years since Luna's return, a genre of music she developed before the nightmare, Metal, has risen in popularity in Equestria, who have now developed the cultural context to except it and enjoy it. One group, Stableton, inspired in part by A Brief History of Equestria () wrote a song about Celestia's fall to Tyranny, the above.

So, in short, Celestia got really depressed after Nightmare Moon and had a brief fling as a dictator... That actually makes sense

And anger, can't forget that.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Yeah, I can see that. She blames everyone else... except Luna.

Well, it's not like the court was guiltless...
