The New Stars

by Lightning--Dasher


Prologue: 1000 Years ago and Now

Once upon a time,in the magical land of Equestria. There were two regal sisters who ruled together and created Harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the Sun at dawn. The younger brought out the moon to begin the Night. Thus the Two sisters maintained balance for their Kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies.

But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful, the ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth but shunned and slept through her beautiful Night. One faithful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the Moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her but the bitterness in the young ones heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness, Nightmare Moon. She vowed that she would shrow the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to pony kind, the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister and banished her permenantly in the moon. The elder sister took on responsibility for both Sun and Moon and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations ever since.


**The Present**Luna's POV**


Ever since my release nothing has been the same, Celestia has too much work so I cant stay with her, I have no work to do, i'm confined in between the castle walls and I don't even have my own throne. I always walk alone in the empty halls of my sister's castle, my hooves are the only things you can hear as I walk through these empty halls. Every single time I step out of my chambers, I feel like I don't fit in!

My room is dark blue with paintings of my Night, My Moon shaped bed with pillars holding up the roof and my balcony that gives my the full view of my beautiful night. My chambers is the only dark thing in the castle, everything else is pure white and represents the day! Not my NIGHT! From all of the things that can be wrong, its the CASTLE! Nothing represents my Night!

Every day and night I feel the same sadness,guilt and loneliness. Nothing can give me the faintest bit of happiness, not even my night can. But here I am, feeling the same things over and over again, non-stop. The present is nothing but a fraction of my past, and will never change.


**1000 Year's Ago**


"Not another step" The Princess of the Night yelled in her Royal Canterlot Voice. She had an angry expression while standing in front of her dark blue throne.

"Do you really expect me to sit idly by while they all vast in your precious light!" Luna yelled while walking up to the platform that sits in the middle of both Luna's and Celestia's thrones.

"There can only be one Princess in Equestria! And that Princess will be ME!" Luna yelled while swinging her front hooves in the air and immediatly stomping them to the floor, creating a crack in their wake. The crack extended to the wall behind their thrones and took over a stained glass painting. It didn't even take a half a second for it to break and shatter like glass.

Luna, with a big mighty flap of her wings, took to the sky. Raising both of her hooves, and then darkness over took the sky. The moon was put right in front of the sun, blocking the sunlight from reaching Equestria. Black smoke was coming from all pillars in the castle and swiftly making their way to Princess Luna.

The black smoke started to surround Princess Luna. Luna's wings unfolded while she was being consumed by the black smoke. When Luna was out of sight, Red and grey mist started penetrating the black smoke sphere and from no where, all three colors where becoming dark as the night sky and shining stars were in it.

From the galaxy mist, emitted a Black Alicorn, it was as tall as Celestia herself. She has sharp teeth and light blue armour. Galaxy blue hair that shines like the night skies.


**The Present**Luna's POV**


I still remember that faithful day when I let judgment take me over. I could still remember the pure terror in my older sister's eyes. Ones of betrayal,sadness and guilt. It hit me inside but it didn't stop me. I continued fighting and harming my poor elder sister. I can't even imagine the guilt she felt when she banished me. It all happened in a flash. I barely remember most of it. But it has all happened, and I can do nothing to stop it, nothing.
