A Twilit Moon in Perspective

Chapter 1: A Monologue

Twilight Sparkle, I need thy help.

‘Tis not an uncommon occurrence, it seems; twice before thou hast delivered Us from Our woe and peril.

Once, We fell to envy. I armored myself in my own Nightmare, and savaged the world. In Our pain and madness, We believed Our actions just! Can thee imagine it, Twilight Sparkle? We thought ourselves in the right, as We brought pain and darkness to Equestria.

Our life, Our mind, even Our beloved Sister was nearly lost to us, but for thee, Twilight Sparkle.

We set out, then, clad in the joy that thou gifted Us. Thou gave Us everything, Our very life: and We found We did not know what to do with it.

For greater than a Solar year We searched for an answer, and We hung Our royal head in failure.

For a second time, We almost fell, this time to loneliness and despair.

I was on the cusp of my new Nightmare; and then, thou found Us weeping, Twilight Sparkle. And thou reached out thy hoof, and thou looked in Our eyes, and thou Saved Us, Twilight.

Thou showed Us the joy of Laughter, the value of an Honest truth; thou showed Us without end Generosity and Loyalty and Kindness. And for that glorious night, when I was with you: it was Magic.

And now We have come to you again, Twilight Sparkle. For all Our vast power and experience, We are lost.

I have fallen in love with you, Twilight. And I do not know what to do about it.

Our hooves have sundered mountains and boiled seas. But now We are on our knees before thee, Twilight Sparkle.

Please. Save Us again.

Tell me what to do.
