After the following excerpt, Princess Luna, pre ascension, is seen leaving her home near the time 11:45 at night. She is then known to have embarked alone into a nearby, previously unnamed meadow. The ballad Princess Luna sang to the night was recovered using an illegal time spell. The felon was no other than the young Princess Celestia herself. The Details of why this crime was committed remains unknown.
The final entry of Princess Luna before her ascension:
“Every day feels like a thousand years. The continuous flow of strangers and meaningless events haunt my existence. All effort seems to be for naught. Princess Calora remains ill, and her no good filthy husband refuses to raise the Moon. His inconsideration and blatant lack of care for his ponies is unnerving to say the least.
Since the loss of the moon, I have not felt myself. The moon and the beautiful stars have always been the one constant in my life. My parents love me, but are never around when I need them. My friends all but abandoned me after my past was humiliatingly revealed over a year ago. I continue to struggle in school, no matter how hard I try! I love learning, probably more than I should, but I still cannot keep up with the other ponies. I cannot fathom why I am to be cursed as I am. What have I done wrong? Why does loss have to exist? Why do I have to remain alone?
Adopted. Alone. Humiliated. Robbed. Imprisoned. Foolish. Ugly. These words are all that crowd my mind. Who am I? REALLY! I know nothing of true love, nothing of companionship or success. What am I but the moronic and challenged mare? The unwanted child? The one who gives her all for nothing. I am a plague to others, and a deathly sickness to myself. There is no place for me. But then I remember.
I remember the cold nights when I felt like I had nothing to live for, looking up and embracing the light of the moon. I remember the hot and disgusting emotions that would lead to rivers of tears, only ending at the beauty of the stars. I remember the unparalleled joy of life during the summer nights, as the miraculous miracle of a night sky expanded before me. I REMEMBER, the days when I had nothing, and I found my everything.
The Moon is not distant. The stars are not cold. The night sky is not dark.
The Night is bright, it is up close and alive, it wraps the lonely and loved alike in its embrace.
I have fallen into the bottomless pits of depression and despair in the absence of my true savior. The thoughts of loss and what is to come, scaring me away from any and all joy. These past days I have not lived. I cannot live. Not without the true night. I am willing to do anything to get it back. ANYTHING! I pray every moment for its return, yet I receive nothing! Why? WHY! Can I not receive any love? Do I not deserve to gaze upon the glorious moon?
My heart dies. I will go with it. One last time I will go out into the night, and pray for my only friend to return. I will accept nothing but victory. I will stay with the stars until the Moon may return to their side. This will not be the last time, I vow it will not be so. My soul is one with that of the night.”
Call Of The Lost
Where did you go?
You're all I know?
Why did you have to leave?
You mean so much to me.
*_*_*_*
Alone in the night.
You once shined so bright.
Amidst a million stars.
You were always ours.
Now you are keeping me awake.
My heart will always break.
I lay broken and alone.
I need you to feel at home.
*_*_*_*
The day is death.
But the night is life.
Your existence is always bold.
I cannot follow the common mold.
*_*_*_*
I hear you call my name.
Like a warrior seeking fame.
I follow you alone.
Please take me home.
*_*_*_*
I have missed your call.
You are my all.
You complete my heart.
I cannot stand for us to be apart!
*_*_*_*
The days grow old.
But the night stays young!
We will overcome!
We will overcome!
*_*_*_*
If I am to be!
Alive and free!
So also you will be!
Never alone!
*_*_*_*
If you lend me strength!
I will go any length!
To ensure you rise above!
Oh Moon my one love!
*_*_*_*
The night will reign!
We have all to gain!
I plead on my knees!
Please come rescue me!
*_*_*_*
Together we shall stand.
Or united we will fall.
I will do it all.
*_*_*_*
The stars shine bright.
Awaiting your true light.
To join them free.
So you will ever be.
*_*_*_*
My last cry.
Will shake the night.
I pledge to set you free.
Oh Moon, you have so much to be.
Rise for me.
