Featuring Ponyphonic's 'the moon rises' (EileMony cover) and 'lullaby for a princess' (cover by megaphoric).

Coverart by Pinkamena666

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna remember the events that led to Nightmare Moon's creation and banishment. This is a tale of heartache, betrayal and sorrow as the two alicorns share their tale with the world.

Note: Bits and pieces of the above songs wil be used, as in they won't be sung in full by the characters.

Edit 2: Despite wanting to have nighmare moon get her own musical number i decided that to just end it on act IV (see author's notes)

Edit 3: please read the last chapter and comment, having a bit of trouble finishing it and i would like some feedback.

Edit 4: I only own the idea, all songs belong to the original artists. MLP FiM belongs to Hasbro.

Hehe yeah, I realized that too late. :rainbowwild:

Really? 151 views, 12 likes, and, now, only one comment on this chapter? I was wondering why there were plenty of obvious mistakes... well, me being me, cannot let this stand. From the beginning... (now I'm almost glad that the chapter is so short)... erm... well you obviously know your grammar and spelling and you gave a good reason as to why there are so many mistakes in this, I have one thing to say, and I know it's one of the last things one wants to do after writing a chapter and sometimes you just don't have time. However, read the chapter over when you're done writing, I don't mean to be rude, just a helpful suggestion. Take the time to check for mistakes on your own, it saves any possible embarrassment, makes it look better, and gives it a higher chance of having someone leave praising comments and good feedback. Now with that said, I'm still going to point out mistakes, because mistakes irk me. As I stated before that you know grammar I'm just going to correct it as you don't need me spewing out the rules here... Also, I'm nit picky and I point out everything... everything.

In the magical land of Equestria[,] peace reigned at last. After one thousand years the royal pony siblings were reunited, the Crystal Empire returned to the world and Discord the spirit of chaos and disharmony was now living peacefully alongside all of pony kind. With the coronation and ascension of Equestria's most powerful Unicorn, one Twilight Sparkle, the safety of Earth Ponies, Unicorns[,] and Pegasi[,] was assured for centuries to come.

Despite the bright future that lay ahead[,] it is important to remember the mistakes of past, of the lessons learned and sacrifices made by those that walked the world before us.

High up in one of Canterlot Castle's many towers, hidden away by spells and enchantments[,] centuries old[,] was a room.

Soft and quiet hoofbeats filled the silent halls as a lone pony walked down this forgotten path. [,] or Her golden horseshoes leaving no mark or scratch upon the worn marble floor, her mane flowing ever onwards with the colours of the morning sky and her amethyst eyes locked onto the old[,] oak door that help so much yet known by so few.

Not quite sure, but I think you meant to write, "that held so much, yet was known by so few."

Black curtains blocked out the light of the midday sun and the room was illuminated by a single chandelier as ancient as the rooms['] other artifacts. littered around the small room were boxes, scrolls[,] and rolled up tapestries and paintings from an era long gone.

Celestia lit up her horn once more, her golden magic filling the room. Curtains were[ ]pulled open, boxes forced open[,] and artworks revealed to while alicorn in a burst of sunlight.

Um... "and artworks were revealed to a white Alicorn..."? Maybe?

A younger Luna with a light blue mane and tail that had only just started to billow with arcane magic stood grinning at her older sister;

"If only I had known what would happen..." she sighed.[ ]"Luna..."

Guilt and regret from centuries past returned anew within her and although things were fine and her sister safe[,] Celestia couldn't help but remember what happened a thousand years ago.

Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved and grew only darker as days and nights passed!"

the smaller alicorn had raised the moon for the first time. The amount of magic...

"Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth! Through cloud and through sky and through space,

forgive me for being so blind..."

This one was a portrait of the first grand galloping gala, a snapshot of the night taken by a skilled artist. It showed Ponies of all kinds praising and showering Celestia with[ ]gifts while Luna was barely seen from her place in the shadows.

And I meant everything!

the way you've outlined the mistakes is exactly the kind of thing I need for a proofreader....seriously my grammar kinda sucks to be honest and due to fast typing, vision impairment and other things I tend to create a few typos and while I try and get them all i do miss a few.

so..wanna be my proofreader?

2668491 I guess it couldn't hurt. You got yourself a proofreader then, I'll PM you with the corrections for the rest of the chapters and any other stories you'd like me to look at. :twilightsmile:

Just to clarify, the elements were jewels not jewelry. They didn't become jewelry until Twilight and her friends became the bearers a thousand years later.

To be fair, I wrote this long before I knew that the elements were gems.

luna not woona (unless discord is being anoying)
the elements were jewels at that time, not jewelery

7748853 thank you for commenting but if you read through older comments you'll find that I wrote this before the show revealed the elements were gems.
