I should be angry with her for invading my privacy yet she is the most ancient meddler in Equestria. To tease her and flaunt my victory I went so far as to write in my diary while she sat beside me. I sent it back to its hiding place with a teleportation spell that would bounce it across the castle before it reached its destination. It seems sister was able to trace it and has read (and undoubtedly copied) every word. 

Perhaps this entire mock battle was a feint to get me to reveal it to her, I cannot say with certainty. She pleads with me to forgive her but I will not. She asks as an elder sibling but where was the sibling I needed a thousand years ago? 
She always said that I meant the world to her, that there was nothing she would not do for me. She chose the world over me and by the time she saw what had happened she was too late to do anything.

For centuries I was her sword and shield. I saved her and her ponies from every threat yet when I needed saving she condemned me instead. She flaunted her title of elder sister over me yet when the true responsibility of the station rested upon her shoulders she did not have the strength to bear it. Instead of my savior she was my judge. 

And yet…in her place I would have done nothing less. I cannot even be angry with her without this knowledge reminding me that my anger will never be justified. I deserve the punishment I received a thousand times over. 

Through force of arms I could always bring my enemies to their knees but she had a way of making them into her friends. I never told her how I envied that. I found my own way and ponies who would mock the day with me, if only to hide the pain at knowing we had no place in the light.
