	“All of my days start out normally, sitting in the hall, appointing business matters, all the usual. My sister was out traveling Equestria and would be back in about 2 weeks. I waited for those two weeks to come, but she never came back. I traveled all over Equestria until i stopped at Univale, an all unicorn population. They said that Luna was there, but disappeared after an eclipse. They looked for her everywhere, even her suite was left like it was when she got there. I did all that i could to find her, nowhere to be found in Equestria. I went to Zecora to see if she had some insight. She did more than that, she told me the location of her. It was in another world where corruption and madness exists and taints the minds of all who occupy there. When she said that, I thought it would be to late to change her, and whoever has her in his or her grasp will be killed after interrogation.
I sent a letter to whomever it may have been to give her up and then spared their pitiful lives in a pitiful world. When we arrived, i noticed that the house was in a different place then the rest, in solitude like a prison. I became more enraged and knocked on the door demanding someone to open it or that they will be killed. No one answered, so i decided that nobody was home and i would enter at my own will. When i entered i noticed pictures of you and her thinking you corrupted her mind and trashed the settlement. I took a picture of you and her to identify if the next one who answered would be tortured in the most venomously way, meaning to keep the torture stuck throughout his miserable life. I came back late at night to see if you would be sleeping there, and you were. The look on you’re face told us that you knew why were here and not really how. When you passed out we took you to Equestria, so we could ridicule your species in front of the whole population. After the procedure, Luna was filled with rage that she turned and became Nightmare Moon. I bound her, but still she fought back. We sent her to Cloud Citadel to be contained until converted back. I had time to think of what to do with  you, I cant undo what was already done. I am sorry i had tortured you for what i thought you had changed my sister into a monster. Instead, i changed her into it, will you please forgive me?”

“YOU EXPECT ME TO FORGIVE YOU? YOU MUST HAVE GONE MAD WITH HER AS WELL! YOU MADE ME INTO A LIVING AUTOPSY! THEN YOU LOCK ME IN A CELL WHICH I WAS TREATED LIKE A STRAY ANIMAL? AND THEN BRING ME HERE SO YOU CAN SAY SORRY? I’D RATHER SPEND MY DAYS BACK IN THAT CELL THAN TAKE AN APOLOGY FROM YOU. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE AN APOLOGY, YOU GO THROUGH THE SAME THINGS I WENT THROUGH!”

It wasn’t wrong that i yelled at her, she deserved it. I took care of her sister as if she were one of my own only to be tortured and have her turned into the thing i did not want her to be. All those years raising her had gone to waste.

“You’re......you’re right. I am sorry, its just that I did not know that you were trying to avoid her turning into Nightmare. It was my fault, and ill do anything to make up for it.”

“well first you can take me down from here.”
Celestia nodded to the guards to unstrap me. When they did I collapsed on the floor. The guards picked me up, and I told them to get me a mirror so I could see myself. When they brought it, I didn’t even recognize my own self for i was too disfigured to see myself in a mirror. I was nothing but bone, only to see bandages on my ribs, holes where the guard punctured my arms, and an unfamiliar face to see. I was devastated, only to be back on the ground again. The guards went to pick me up again but I swatted them away, trying to give myself some room. I got up on my knees, then started standing up. I had grown to about 6’5”, almost as tall as Celestia herself. The main six started to back up, terrified at the way I looked. Celestia came up to me, but i didn’t allow allow her to come any closer, so i backed up. She knew i was still afraid, so she backed up as well. 

I kept the shackles I had on as a form of security, don’t know why but it made me feel secure. My pants were torn and worn away, but enough for me to be comfortable in. Rarity looked at me if I were a walking horror fashion show. As usual, Fluttershy was hiding somewhere, don’t know where. The others were just sitting there, looking at me. I decided that they weren’t going to harm me,even if Rainbow Dash looked like she was going to kick my ass. I asked if i could have some food, fresh food and not rotten apples. They brought me some fresh apples and nearly devoured half the bucket. 

“I want to see Luna.”
