Long ago...
"It was always very loud back then
A great agitation issued from the ground itself,
Rising into the air and filling all with discontent and worry
Beneath us stretched a mad landscape of spots and checkers
Above twisted a kaleidoscope sky
And all between was ceaseless, unbroken chaos
Eventually, we grew callous to the clamor
And slipped from anxiety into malaise
Shedding our passion and our purpose
It was thus that the two great sisters found us
From somewhere beyond the horizon, they came
Seeing beauty amidst the bedlam,
They took up our sad world between them and tamed it,
Bending it to their will
And when the earth was ready, they looked to the sky
And there, gave us their greatest gifts:
The sun to light the day, and the moon to keep watch in the night
A celestial dance to order our moments;
The slow heartbeat of our world
Two forces in perfect balance
This is our foundation; from this, all else follows"
Canterlot, a city that landmarks the kingdom in all of Equestria and the great Princess Celestia, the Princess of the Sun. Within the throne room, just walking in to see her in person is a beige alicorn, with white and rose pink loose-flowing mane and tail, bows down to the Princess in throne.
"Cosmic Star," the Princess calls the little alicorn.
The mare rises up and smiles with glee, "My Princess, you have called me here?"
Celestia walked down from her throne and walked to Cosmic star, "Yes, how is your studies in Magic going?"
"Well, good, Princess." Cosmic replies with little confidence, "Its just...um, I was kind of wondering about studying about something else."
"Like what, Cosmo." The Princess asked,
"Look I studied so much on Magic and I've been using it well, but-"
"You do realize that you still have a lot to learn, Cosmic Star. Yet your still not ready to know about them, until the right time." Celestia cut off Cosmic Star.
Cosmic Star sighed, "Yes, my Princess. Its just, since...with you and Princess Luna. I-I.."
Celestia looked at Cosmic star as she was upset, but she lifted her chin up, "Yes, my sister is the best aunt you could ever have, but times we change, not only she could've give the forgiveness she needed..she would be still be here." Cosmic Star understood as she turns holding her tears and looks at Celestia like a mother to her.
Celestia sigh in relief, "Cosmic Star...If you do want to know more about them. Come with me, let me tell you a little about the Elements, but the rest you must learn by your own self."
"Yes, Princess." Cosmic Star replied as the two walked down the hallway outside of the throne room.
Meanwhile, faraway from the Kingdom of Equestria, on the top hills of Everfree Forest ,and into the cavern seeks the Harmony Tree; Cosmic Star looks around in amazement as above the Elements from the tree stands tall. As Celestia tells the story,
1000 years ago, Equestria as we remember was cold, dark, place overpowered by Chaos. All of the ponies lived in fear in the hands of the Spirit named Discord. Fortunately, a bright light has appeared as me and my sister tamed Discord with the most powerful gems known as the Elements of Harmony. After he was stoned, we gifted our dear subjects with the Sun of Day and the Moon of Night. Harmony and peace cleansed Equestria to its fullest until Luna's jealously and hatred turned...our lives..
Princess Celestia suddenly stops as a silent sob as Cosmic Star felt the same pain with Celestia's heart, "Princess?"
Celestia stopped sobbing as she came to her senses and looked at Cosmic Star, "I'll be alright, why won't we head back to the castle, and get some sleep."
Cosmic Star looked above the small hole of the cave as the stars appeared, "Oh, its late already? Well uh, goodnight then, Princess. Thanks for showing me the Harmony Tree once more."
Cosmic Star trots away leaving the Princess behind as she looked above at the Harmony Tree, and grieved in silence.
Meanwhile in the castle, Cosmic Star watches as the stars sets from the landscape that brighten up the skies with no moon.
Cosmic sighs as she looks at he sky, "I guess its another night without moonshine. I just wish there was some way to see once more, Luna. Although its has been 1000 years," As she felt tired, she heads to her bed and naps, "Maybe a new moon will rise anytime soon."
While peeking through the door, Princess Celestia sigh in relief and closed the door slowly as she heads out in to her throne.
