Chapter 2

Celestia/Luna (Canterlot)

It was early in the afternoon hours as Celestia sat atop her throne, the place she made important decisions for the good of Equestria. Her golden magic writing away on parchment was she was neck deep in paperwork that involved her royal court duties and approvals for many randomized subjects. Her soft and caring eyes swept across the papers with rapid secession, signing her name and a stamp of approval at the end. It was all quite simple to her, after hundreds of years to practice, it was nothing to her of course.

After many minutes of tedious writing and stamping, she found the need to walk around a little, Celestia had all day to finish her things. "I will be back in a moments notice." Her voice carried through the hall with emphasis as she was royalty after all. The guards nodded and stayed in their fixed positions, not moving a single muscle afterwards. Celestia stepped down from her rather plush throne and into a hallway on the side of the main hall. The hallway was adorned with large window arts and murals of previous history events that have helped shape Equestria. Her perfect mane blew in the non-existent breeze, shining brightly with soft colors of green, pink, and blue. A crown of elegant gold that sat atop her head and large horn. Celestia's horseshoes, (finely crafted gold pieces that are not even close to horseshoes), produced a soft metal clank on the marble floors that passed her by.

Every work of art she passed by reminded her of grand memories and the accomplishments of the Bearers of Harmony, the way they always saved the day with the limitless power of friendship. The one that touched her the most was Luna's Return, the old mares tale that came to the surface, like it was supposed to. How she told Twilight she was reading too many of those mares tales caused a small giggle to escape from her mouth. At the same time, she felt a certain happy that could cause tears to roll down her face, it was when Luna and Celestia were reunited after 1000 years of crippling sorrow.

She continued on to Luna's chambers which were relatively close to her by now, the way she carried herself was grand. Her face was emotionless except when few passers by bowed to her, she would smile a motherly smile and gratefully say "hello" to anypony that did, which was everypony. Each window she passed by illuminated sections of the towering hall with a wide assortment of sharp colors and blurry figures on the opposite wall from them. It was when Celestia passed the blank one next in line, she felt an abnormally large surge of Sky Magic in an all too familiar place. Something was happening in the land she and her sister ruled over, and Celestia was always one to protect her ponies if harm were to happen, she quickly opened the door to Luna's humble abode, just to be greeted by darkness.




"Sister! Arise from your slumber, surely you just felt the same sensation yes?" Celestia trotted over to the deep blue and black bed that lay at the end of the room. Luna herself was enjoying the comfort of a well deserved rest as she lay under the soft covers of peace and tranquility. Celestia tapped her sister on the neck and proceed to nuzzle her awake, it worked perfectly. Luna made a series of grunting noises and shooed Celestia away playfully. "Yes Tia, I know I know..." Luna grudgingly hoisted herself from comfort and into the presence of her big sister. "What do you think it is sister? Sky Magic does not occur in such large pockets naturally." Luna cocked her head a little sideways as she slightly looked up to Celestia. "I haven't a clue, but whatever it is, we must be ready for anything that may come. Walk with me Lulu." Celestia smiled at Luna's expense as she blushed a tad, she never liked to be called that. Luna shook here head and only commented with a soft smile, there was no reason to fight it.

"What do you think we should do Lulu?" Celestia smirked again as Luna hit her on the side. "I don't know, but maybe we should watch what we're saying, you know I hate that!?" Luna tried with all her might to conceal the laughter building up, but it was too much to bear. Celestia nodded with a now solemn face as she remembered all those lonely years without her sister. "It is good to know that your happy Luna, it would of been completely different if that incident wouldn't have happened." She looked to the sky as she past the window again. Luna placed here hoof around Celestia. "Not another word Celestia, I was not myself when it happened and you did what you had to do. That is all in the past now."

Celestia nuzzled Luna out of sheer appreciation for having her back and for her words of encouragement. "Thank you dear sister." She released her head from the sisterly love and continued to walk along the hallway. Both Celestia and Luna's being and figure were perfect, goddesses of light and dark that had no imperfections to their bodies or duties. Each, a crown of respect and admiration, defining their roles as princesses of the sun and moon, day and night. They were the true examples of perfect to all that bestowed their first glances upon them.

"Send a letter to Ponyville, gather the Bearers of Harmony and tell them to look for anything out of the ordinary..." there was a long pause. "Luna, I want you to go there for the time being, to check it out with them." Celestia let it sink in as Luna raised her head up to Celestia, Luna nodded in respect. "You can count on me Tia. I shalt not fail." Luna said with a suppressed proud tone to hide the actual amount. Celestia smiled softly to her and motioned her to get moving, "I know you won't." In seconds, Luna teleported from vision and was now undoubtedly in Ponyville. Celestia repeated what was said to Luna into the air around herself, "I know you won't..."
