In one of the many bedrooms of the palace was one mare alone. A dark blue coated alicorn who was accompanied by a short azure blue mane, while her cyan eyes gazed upon the blue skies and the sun which stood high in it. “Why Tia..? Just, why..? Why may I not raise the moon on my own, why may I not go around the world myself, why may I not practice my own magic, on my own..?” A deep sigh was released before a small tear began to build up in her right eye.
The tear made its slow way over her cheek. Only to be meeting the blankets in which the mare had wrapped herself in. Though the more she thought and questioned, the more tears began to roll from her cheeks. “Just why, Celestia?!” she yelled before bursting out in tears and pulled the blankets over herself, only to sob underneath them.
“Just, why..? What have I done to deserve this..? We are meant to rule together, not you alone!” the broken mare spoke through her sobbing. “Am, am I not strong enough? Is that it sister?”
The more the mare talked to herself, the deeper she got tangled in a web created by herself. It didn't take long for the moon to shine down through the windows of the bedroom and the mare uncovered herself from the blankets, staring thoughtfully at the rock she had been on for so long. Slowly the mare sat upright in her bed and let out a deep sigh as she wiped her tears away carefully. Yet every time she looked at the wet fur after each wipe. “Tia...”

The princess of the sun entered the magnificent looking throne room under a thick gloom after she raised the moon. “My sister... How could I have been so foolish to send you there? I, I shouldn't be a princess, not after everything I’ve done. I am so sorry my sister.” The mare turned her attention back to the moon as a small tear ran down her cheeks. “Why couldn't you see..? Why couldn't you see it?”
Under the sounds of a deep sigh and the soft clapper of her golden shoes she made her way to her own bedroom. “Goodnight, sister,” said Celestia when she passed the room of her sister.
Though it was not too late afterwards that that same door unlocked itself and the dark blue coated mare trotted out of it. She began to make her way to the throne room. The moderate cyan eyes gazed once again on the moonlight coated throne as the quiet clatter of glass shoes came nearer and nearer, from a barely perceptible noise to about the noise level of a mouse scurrying across glass floor.
The mare took place on the ever so mighty throne under a deep sigh. After one-thousand-years of sitting rock, this thing was so unusual yet so familiar to the mare.
“Why... am I even needed..?” she questioned herself.
One of the guards looked up to the mare and spoke to her with a respectful tone. “Something the matter, your highness?”
"No guard... There... There is nothing. Just, thoughts running around freely...” the alicorn of the night replied. During her words, she kept her attention to the moon. The guard gave a respectful nod before returning to his post.

Minutes slowly passed by and there she still sat, her attention fixed to that giant rock of sorrow as tears flow freely over her cheeks before falling down to the ground.
But all the sudden the mare began to boil in anger. Her face started to twitch slightly and it didn't took long before she began to shout towards the moon. “Why am I even needed!? We are meant to rule together as sisters! But yet, now that I am back finally after one thousand years of loneliness and sorrow, you barely even make the effort to talk to me! Sister, what have I done to you do deserve this!? Why!? Just why!?”
All the guards in the room where shocked by at the suddenness of the eruption. Though the mare calmed herself down under the sound of sobbing. Yet none of the guards dared to even approach the mare but they couldn't stand the sight of her like that either. Tears streamed down the cheeks of the dark blue mare as she slowly spread her wings and jumped off of the throne. “Answer me!” Her eyes kept themselves fixed on the moon as her breathing increased and became heavier from the sadness.
Some guards began to walk up to her with a questioning look in their eyes. Though the mare kept walking up to the railing of the balcony. She just stood there and only gazed upon the moon with widespread wings. Trails of tears left the throne but the guard waded through the puddles of tears that were already creating little streams and leaving the throne room. Before the guard could speak she made her reply. “Please... Answer my cries... Just why?”
As more and more guards carefully made their way to the door of the balcony, keeping their eyes on her. They all had same thought, is she alright? Yet there was one young guard who was either was foolish or brave enough to move further up to the mare.

He could hear her light sobbing as the head lowered itself on the railing. His armor clattered lightly before he came to a standstill. “Are you, alright, princess?” he spoke to her in a soft voice.
Her ears perked a little but she made no other attempt at responding.
“Princess, please tell us, what is troubling you?”
Before he could get any form of answer in word, the mare answered him in deeds. She rose back up from the railing and placed her front hooves on it. Without a single word nor warning did she jumped off of the railing.
The young guard got the scare of his life as he rushed over to the railing but didn't dare to look down, as down there was nothing more but a long drop before the ground came. He gently took off his helmet and his sapphire blue mane mixed with dark blue and cerulean dropped down as his head lowered. The eyelids began to cover the cerulean eyes as a small tear rolled out of them. “G-Goodbye, princess,” he mumbled softly.
But as he stood there, a wind blew through his mane. Although it was not a normal wind of any kind. But a wind that came from below and seemed to be going up. The kind of wind created by pegasus wings lifting off while a couple tears fell on his head.
