Prologue: Return
Luna stood before her sister now, reformed and ready to be part of the family again, and she honestly didn’t know if she was going to be forgiven, especially right away then and now, and she didn’t expect to be forgiven after all that she had done, rebelling against her sister and the ponies and citizens of the lands.
She wasn’t fit to be called a Princess of Equestria anymore, much less a sister.
And she definitely didn’t deserve to be called the sister princess of the sun.
“I’m sorry sister,” she said, “I’m sorry for all that I did, but can you ever forgive for what I did? And if you don’t I understand, I’m ready for your punishment.”
“There shall be no punishment,” Celestia said, “Perhaps judgement maybe, but I would never ever willing punish or hurt my dear little beloved sister that I have, the only one that I have, and while I cannot forgive you for what you did now, perhaps maybe with time and patience I can learn to do that, but for now you will only have to accept my love and kindness as well as that of the other ponies of Equestria, for they have forgotten you my dear little sister, and it is you that needs to be remembered by them for raising the moon and stars at night, not I, for that which belongs to and is of the night is your duty and your responsibility now, I can only hope, pray, and have faith that you will not fail me once more again, or the ponies of Equestria, do you promise me that?
Do you promise me that upon on your own life that you will never fail me once more again or the ponies of these lands known as Equestria ever again?”
“I promise you sister, I will never fail you again, or the ponies of Equestria.”
“That is good then, and I trust that you will keep your promise no matter what happens to us or these lands, or even to the ponies of Equestria. I trust that you will also not disappoint me again, just as much as you expect me not to fail you, and I will not ever fail you again my dear little beloved sister, from now on I will always stand by your side no matter what happens, and I know that I may not have been there for you in the past, but I’m here now to fix that mistake that I made so long ago, so many long years ago, but that’s behind us now, and I would rather we look towards the future with hope and faith.”
“I agree my sister; your words could not be any truer even if you tried to do so.”
And with that said the two nodded and hugged each other, and all seemed well and fine now that the day had been saved, but both did not know nor could they suspect or know the importance of those very words that they spoke to each other much later on, for the words would change the fate of Equestria.
For in the future, these words would affect the lives of many and all the ponies.
