// Story: A Choice Between Two Doors

//------------------------------//

Princess Luna remembered the time when she had to face the doors herself. The light appealed to her as much as the darker side did. 

The light. It was blinding, it clashed with her coat color, and she hated the day. Her sister, Princess Celestia, had decided to be a good ruler under the light. As her duty to be a good princess, she must choose the opposite door, to guide other ponies who was journeying through the darkness that seemed appealing. The light would scare all of the shadows away and she was used to being awake during the night.

The dark. Her eyes were used to the dark. She wanted to be known for something, anything, and not be overshadowed by her sister. She wanted to face the mysteries it would bring and the challenges that it would carry. Princess Luna didn’t think that she would be overpowered by it. After all, of a creature of the night couldn’t do it, who would?

She opened the door and stepped to the darkness.





Princess Luna had let the darkness consume her. She had let it spread, making her powers enchanted. She had fought for the throne for Equestria, upsetting the balance between the two rulers. She had adopted a new name.

Nightmare Moon.

When she became that, her goals were to kill, to discover the power of the dead. She practiced Necromancy and bound the dead to her wishes. She increased her army with each fallen. Soon... Equestria would be hers and everypony would need to follow her. 

Nightmare Moon was not formed by jealousy, even though jealousy was why she chose the door that led to the unknown. It was a shell that allowed her to kill and by doing so, the darkness led her further and further down the road.

Princess Luna had came back for a split second when the elements that Princess Celestia wield hit her and she gave a startled cry before disappearing back into her shell.





The Elements of Harmony.

That had shoved Princess Luna from the dark into the light with the blast of the rainbow. It guided her out the door while the wind pushed her in the direction and destroyed the barriers Nightmare Moon had put up. Then it stopped.

Another choice. Two doors. 

Without hesitating, she chose the light door.
