Void

Night

Her subjects were distraught at the news of Luna's banishment. They feared what would happen if she were to escape. Would she seek revenge? Or forgiveness?

Celestia pondered those questions for herself. And as she thought, another one found its way in: would she show mercy if Luna asked her for it?

Despite her best efforts, the question would not be denied an answer.

She moved the moon for the first time that night. It felt so wrong, to do her sister's work, as if she was trying to replace her. As if she would never return.

It was then that she first saw the new collection of craters and hills on the moon's surface, all perfectly placed to form the shadow of a mare's head.

Luna's head.

It is said that Celestia's wails could be heard across Equestria that night.
