//------------------------------// // A normal day, right? // Story: The Fall of Princess Celestia // by Twilight Star //------------------------------// Celestia and Luna went to the porch of the castle. Luna lit her horn and lowered the moon and made the stars disappear so her sister could raise the sun and bring the day. Celestia lit her horn and raised the sun, to the beginning of a new day for the ponies. Celestia made a point of making the sun look good and radiant so the ponies could enjoy the day she brought them. Satisfied with her work, she went to go and have breakfast. When she arrived in the room, she saw that her sister was already at the table and was already eating. Princess Celestia sat down next to her sister and began to eat. Luna was eating a pancake on a plate and had a cup of tea, and Celestia, the same as her sister. After both had eaten, Luna went to her bedroom to sleep, and Celestia was to do her real duties. Celestia entered the throne room and sat on her throne to begin court. For a strange reason, no pony appeared in the court of the day, neither at the beginning nor at the end. She was sitting on the throne and no pony appeared. She didn’t understand why no ponies appeared in court. Then she thought they were busy with their chores for the day, and they could not come because of it. After the court was over, Luna entered the room and went to her and said, “let’s go to the porch for you to lower the sun and I bring the night” Celestia nodded and rose from the throne and followed her sister to the balcony. Celestia lowered the sun and Luna raised the moon and placed the stars in the sky. After Luna have gone to her nightly court , Celestia decided to take a walk in the night sky, she knew she should sleep so she could wake up early to raise the sun, but a little walk in the moonlight would not hurt, right? Then she spread her wings and flew to the sky. ‘Sister, you really made this very beautiful night for the ponies today’, thought Celestia with a smile on her face. Then Celestia heard noises coming from a village, the noise was coming from Ponyville. She then went there, but didn’t land, but kept watching in the sky what was happening. Celestia saw that many ponies were awake watching the moon and the stars with admiration. She didn’t know why, but seeing this, she felt hurt. Why were they awake and not sleeping? Then, she realized it and it shocked her to the core. They, their subjects were nocturnal. That is, they slept during the day and stayed up at night. No subject had appeared in her courtroom because they were asleep. She simply couldn’t understand. ‘Why would the ponies want to sleep on my beautiful, radiant day that I bring to them and stay awake at the night from my sister?’ thought Celestia sadly. Then she heard a voice of a filly talking to her mother, “do you know what my favorite time period is?” “I don’t know,” said the adult mare. " Which one?” “The night. Because it is so calm and relaxing, unlike the day, we have many things to do. But also, because there are stars in the sky, which look pretty diamonds to the night sky, and the moon then we can look at it without being blind, unlike the sun”, replied the happy filly. “I’m sure Princess Luna would love your compliment. After all, it’s her who brings the night to us”, said the mother of the filly. “I known. She’s my favorite princess!” replied the foal happily while jumping. Tears started coming out of her eyes ,Celestia couldn’t stand it any longer where she was standing,if she stayed longer, she would have an emotional attack in front of the ponies and theirs would see her crying. So she teleported to her room. She threw herself on the bed and began to cry and whine. She didn’t want to be crying, because after all, she was the older sister , she had to be able to control her emotions and be the most strongest emotionally ,but she couldn’t help it. Her subjects loved her younger sister’s night more than her day she brought them. “Why? Why do they love my sister’s night more than my day?!” cried out Celestia while crying. She just couldn’t understand what was wrong. Was it her fault? Was there something wrong with her? What made her sun and the day she brought to be overshadowed? Why didn’t they like the sun and the day that it brought to them? She didn’t know why ponies would want to be nocturnal and go to sleep during the day. After all, the day is so that the ponies could enjoy, have fun, talk to the other ponies, make their commitments that they had to do. At night, the ponies should go to their homes and go to sleep so they could wake up and enjoy a new day that would lie ahead. Why could not they stay awake during the day she brought it? At least for one day ... If they stayed awaked during the day, at least once, she knew that they would be giving value to what she does. ‘why can not they love my day that I bring to them?Do they even knonw that I exist?’ She didn’t even know if they knew she existed, because they just kept talking about her sister and her night. ‘Why would they want to sleep during my beautiful and radiant day and stay awake during the dark, darkeningand and scary night my sister brings?’ So she thought of something and said something she would never think think to say, “Sister, did you make the ponies against me?” said Celestia distrustful with a slightly angry tone in her voice, with tears streaming down her face.
