	Another issue with the play that was yet to be addressed was the significant absence of Celestia and Luna. It has always been traditionalist history's and the regime’s stance that Celestia and Luna were omnipotent, so the official explanation for their absence was that they "strayed away from the affairs of mortal ponies until the situation would absolutely demand it".[36] This would explain their rise to prominence during the reign of Discord, however, this scholar finds such an explanation to be too convenient.

The two sisters had never revealed their past, whether as gods or mortal ponies, and as such, it must be called into question. We can assume that they were not gods as they so claimed, because that would be fallacious. I won’t get into it now, but rest assured that their godhood will be debunked in a following chapter. Besides, there is only one true god, Lord Smooze. Therefore, they were not and never were omnipotent, and as such, must have been born during the Age of Discord.

So where did Celestia (and Luna) really come from?

Probably some slut’s vagina.

In actuality, it can be assumed that they were not birthed from royal blood, as the last semblances of the unicorn monarchy were wiped out with the formation of the Equinus Republic. Of course, like most unicorns, Princess Platinum may have just whored herself out for a cheap buck, but in that case, it would not make sense for Celestia and Luna to flaunt their royal blood when it had come from such an illegitimate coupling. In the face of such facts, it can be agreed upon that the “royal” sisters did not start out as princesses to begin with, but rather “earned” the right and title like Princess Cadence and Princess Twilight Sparkle did. It can also be assumed that they were born as higher level unicorns, as this would support my later revelation regarding the truth and reasons behind alicornification (to be covered in a later chapter).

So then what of their childhood? 

Perhaps Celestia was just an orphan, as one of the few who lost her parents under Discord’s rule. Perhaps she was just a young filly who was hardened by the burdens of life and the responsibility of rearing her younger sister. She must have been forced to bear the weight of the world, for her own sake, and her sister’s sake as well. Perhaps it was due to this that she grew a determined fire in her eyes, one that rivaled only the sun in power. A twisted vision to change the world she was born into, a world of self-perceived suffering and pain, into a world where she and her sister could finally live in happiness. Or perhaps she just sat on her flank and ate cake off the trees all day. It’s all speculation at this point.

Anyways, whatever it was that drove Celestia and Luna in pursuit of power, they unwaveringly committed to such a crusade, with the sole aim of overthrowing Discord and changing Equestria. Whether it was for the better or worse is up to history to decide. 

AKA me. And they really sucked. But I’m not going to cover that now. What will be covered next are the instruments that gave them such power. Whose accidental discovery marked a turning point in Equestrian history. The Elements of Harmony.
