Didn't you say not to worry about it Celestia? "Don't worry, our subjects love you, Don't worry our subjects love your night, they just need their rest." Bah! What sort of idiocy is that? I used to love this land, until I noticed something. They never liked me. They have always seen me as a monster.
Now I know what ponies are thinking? A monster? Me? I'm one of the most beloved ponies in the entire world. I'm one of the Two Sisters! I saved Equestria three times. I'm a hero. They all love me. Well I hope they save their pathetic reassurance. Celestia has told me all this several times, when I gripe my concern. She doesn't understand, she doesn't hear them talking. She doesn't know, what it's like. To them she is Celestia the perfect, Celestia the wise, but me? They don't care about me, they never have.
"Fear the Night for it is bad."
"Beware the Night"
"Honey don't wander out during the night"
"The Darkness of Night is evil, the Light is good"
Of course, this must all look like sour grapes, that I am merely jealous of my sister. Well, I am, but guess what if Celestia was in my shoes she would be the same way as me if not worse! She would be just as upset...wouldn't she? Why am I questioning this!? Of course she would! She would be just as upset. She always was a glory hound! All this stuff she does for her precious followers of the light, that's just and act she perpetrates to keep herself relevant, any act I do goes unnoticed. I, I miss, mom.
No! No! You need to get a hold of yourself, Luna. You don't need to dwell on her, you don't need to dwell on father either. No this has nothing to do with them, this has nothing to do with either of them. Your emotions must be kept at bay. No...no...NO! They can not be kept at bay. I have kept quiet long enough!
What did I do wrong!? I protected Equestria like Celestia! I defeated Sombra like Celestia! I defeated Discord like Celestia! I protected all of my little subjects like Celestia! I did everything she did, yet they fear me? Why? Is it because the dark frightens them? What's so scary about the night!?
The night is beautiful. The night is mysterious. The night is perfect for me. The night never lies to me. The night never jeers at me. The night never treats me like garbage. The night is my home. The night is my own personal play land. The night is the night. The night is the best friend I never had.
No! no! Get a hold of yourself Luna! Snap out of it. Your subjects love you. They may not be a bombastic as they are with Celestia, but they love you. Right? Right? Right? Wait, Right?
They love you,right?
Right?
They love me, right?
Do they love, me?
No.
No.
No they don't
They never have loved me. I don't know what I was thinking. They have always hated me. I was always Celestia's mere sidekick, her unimportant add on, that's all I ever was. No pony, not even here considered my feelings. Every time I asked for a little consideration, all I got was deafening silence and weird looks, like I was a mad pony. I am not mad. I have finally woken up.
I have finally woken up to the reality of it all. Every cheer was for Celestia not for me. Every single amount of praise I received was only directed at Celestia. I know now, and I finally understand. I know what the world really is now. The world is cruel. The world is darkness.
Darkness... Yes, darkness! That is how I shall fix this problem! If I can not get the respect and admiration that I deserve. I'll force them to do so! The sun will never rise again! The night will last for all eternity! That is what I can do. This dark power is coursing through my veins. I found my answer in darkness! I found my answer in the realms of Nightmares! For only in the shadows of the night will I get the respect that I deserve from our subjects. I will become a being of Nightmares, they will learn to respect what they fear! They will learn to love me! They will learn to see the world for what it really is!
Celestia is coming soon, I must hazard that I have been in this state of mind for so long that she has to investigate what is going on. She'll ruin everything! I can not let her do so! I have to defeat her! No, defeating her and sparing her life would only delay her inevitable struggle to regain her precious power. I can not avoid this, can I?
There is no other way around this, Celestia must die for Night Time Eternal to come to pass. Her fall must be great, brutal, and it must make a statement. That this is the fate that awaits all of Equestria if it does not conform to my new way of the world. Celestia herself will be removed. There can only be ONE princess in Equestria! That Princess shall be me!
So, I am prepared to do the unthinkable. A sister about to murder her own flesh and blood sister. No pony, not even I can state that act to be justifiable, unless said sister was trying to kill herself. We were family once. Before all of this, Celestia and I did have a bond. As children we would often play with each other, we would love each other's company. I wonder if, maybe she'll actually be okay with the Eternal Night thing. I could only wonder as I stand here by myself.
Celestia is coming, I can see her wings in the window. She is coming nearer, I can hear her pathetic pleas of me to stop this. I can hear her begging me to put the moon down. Her words go on death ears. Tonight I will let the Nightmare rise. Tonight I will let darkness take over. What I am about to do will make me a monster. However, I have accepted that reality.
So let the sister die!
And let the monster rise!
