In this prestige chamber, one of many in the royal palace in Canterlot. We find ourselves a certain dark coated mare by whose decree we call Luna. She found herself within the confines of her study chamber, as she does every day. She was kept busy by tomes upon scriptures of a thousand years time, her only recess was to raise the moon. As she would read those books she would read of the cataclysm her sister was left to clean in Nightmare moons wake, guilt working its way in her soul. Such a burden, not meant for the goddess of the sun. Oh how she wept at her ignorance of past transgressions, wishing to turn the pages and edit those blasphemous sentences and paragraphs from existence.
"Dearest sister... For a thousand years, thou took upon thyself the responsibility that I hath taken for granted."
"For a thousand years...thou livest without me...alone to watch generations of ponies, whom held families close to their heart. While ye were to banish and live without thine own and only sister."
"The pain thou sheddesth in those years. Beneath the dark mare of terror, and chaos remained the mare thou loveth and cherish, for all of thine previous years."
"I missed thee... In that millennium, I prayeth for nothing more than a purge to relinquish the omen that became me."
It was still so vivid in her mind. The years of solace...the millennium of her aching heart, wailing its torment across the barren dungeon that was the moon. Her demon spent those years plotting her escape , plotting Celestia's downfall to only be foiled again by the very power that imprisoned her there.
“How could anypony admire me...loveth me through all my horrid acts?” She thought.
She could not possibly comprehend the intensity of love and forgiveness that her sister and her own subjects expressed. The emotions were simply overwhelming her majesty. Having her evil past turned a sunder, for good it would seem. She stood up triumphantly, trotting over to her window she gazed at the bronzing sky. She narrowed her eyes at the horizon taking in a deep breathe to speak in the royal Canterlot voice that she demonstrated before.
“Mine fellow subjects, If we may be so bold as to hold thy attention this night, for we wish to present something to ye.”
For such levels of compassion should not go on unrewarded. The mare had fire in her eyes, she wanted to express her deepest feelings. The love, understanding, the eventual loving of her fellow ponies. This churned her soul, erupting powerful feelings of pride, this mare had finally had the final straw! It was time she expressed her gratitude towards her ponies for her epiphany brought forth the realisation she needed. I am loved, through my faults and imperfections.
“What transpired in my passed has been laid to rest in the past. To experience true forgiveness at levels that thou hath shown unto me, verily hath melted my heart and brought forth tears to my eyes.”
The ever warming sun set upon Equestria, Luna slowly approached the balcony she regularly departs from. She looks up at the sky sighing, withholding the pure emotions she has bottled within. Here its where it began, the goddess of celestial elegance ascended into the dark cold night, glowing her radiant cosmic beauty throughout the midnight sky. It's radiance stole the breathes of those who had heart and could possibly comprehend beauty of gods. She rose a single hoof up and with a slow and graceful crest decent the midnight sky was swirled and transformed into an infinite spectacle that the cosmos erupts through the endless universe.
The sky was ablaze in hues of colors as if the black heavens themselves glowed the very colours of the joy's and marvellous blissful lives that the ponies of the land experience on a daily basis. The depths of beauty, it defied all things that I can see and have ever felt, In the center of this celestial attraction was our beloved princess of the night. She shined so brilliantly white, ever bright were the stars that surrounded her. They were at the whim of the mighty alicorn, with a gyroscopic motion, the stars swirled around her a testament to her endless elegance did they emanate.
The orbiting orbs of light slowed down all movement to end up enviably to converge on the edge of her pristine horn. Her wings spread wide, her hoofs spread out in a like wise way. Those cyan orbs no longer remained but shined Ivory white. A pillar of light erupted from her horn to the heavens and it seemed that the great above released its flood gates, for the it rained of streaks of white. With a whisper, the goddess alicorn spoke. Tears...No....Diamonds poured from those Ivory white eyes as she spoke her heart.
“The wages of our sin was banishment.”
“We are free of the demons grasp upon our soul; those centuries ago.”
“As a gift to ye all for thy understanding and thy love, I bless this night for all to see. Now, gaze upon the sky, as I command the very heavens to weep before ye as a symbol of my happiness.”
“Tremble for naught fellow subjects, for ye all deserve to see the true beauty of thine hearts!”
With effortless force various coloured streaks of light swirled throughout the canvas of art that was the night sky. All rejoiced in the princesses gift to all of ponydom. The memorable event lasted for hours, all ponies danced and played in its wake. The goddess of night with divine grace lifted her horn and it's glow as brilliantly as she was before. The raining of lights ceased, and the colourful hues and blends all swirled away into the light of her horn, she spoke again.
“We maketh this promise to ye all.”
“Verily, we promise, such parasitic hatred shan't seep it's way into our heart again.”
“Thine example of generosity, laughter, loyalty, kindness, and honesty maketh this magical harmony sing symphonies of healing warmth in us.”
“We have cried a thousand years of loneliness, a thousand years of solemn torment without the warm embrace of my sister.”
“We do not intend to returneth to that fate.”
Those words echoed over the land, like a thunderous roar of the mighty dragon. In a flash of light she vanished, presumably to her chambers in the royal castle. The ponies will never forget the gift of her highness. They saw her pour her heart out, with the beauty of it all her majesties marvellous wonders of the night sky was cherished as if it were the last moments of breath. To see if her promise held substance remains to be seen, though with Celestia at her side once again such events will never transpire. For she will forever transcend into a marvellous ruler with the heart of that of her subjects forever more.
