Soon the two alicorn sisters claimed their royal titles and duties. Celestia got the sun, Luna got the moon. All was well.

But you and I both know it was far from well.

Worthless. Stupid. They don't care about YOU Luna, why would they? They are far too busy worrying about perfect little Celestia. Great little Celestia. Powerful little Celestia. She gets all the-

"STOP!!!" Luna shouted, stomping her hoof on the ground. Her thoughts had been out of control lately, and quite frequently she felt as if her thoughts were not even her own. "Celestia... Loves us. It's not her fault nopony else does." Luna whispered to nopony but herself. And her runaway thoughts. Thoughts of taking over Equestria, destroying her own sister, and brining eternal night. Luna didn't want to hurt anypony, so why was she still plotting? Was it even her own plot? What kind of sorcery would give her anger and hatred (Or was it somepony else's hatred?) a mind of its own?

Then Luna had a better thought. If Celestia loves us, cares about us, then surely she would let the moon have a day to itself! She just won't raise the sun, and ponies will finally experience our night! She smiled at the thought and cantered happily out of her bedroom.

"Just one day, Tia? Thou's day gets enough admiration, and-" Luna pleaded.

Celestia snorted and her face screwed up in frustration. "This isn't some game Luna! You can't have night at daytime! This is not one of your fairy tales! Stop your foolish dreaming and wake up! The moon can't be where the sun belongs. It's just they way it is!

Luna's eyes pooled with tears. She fled out of the room, nearly knocking over one of the royal guards, but she didn't care. She just wanted to get far, far away from the sister that hurt her so badly, so very badly.

Oh, well done Celestia! You are really starting to become what you feared. It's too late Celestia, you know you have to eventually give in... A harsh, evil voice crooned in Celestia's head.

What?!? Who... What kind of witchcraft is this? Get out of my mind, you Nightmare! Celestia looked around, but nopony she could see was there.

You know who I am. Well, I'm impressed! I can't wait-

"STOP it!!!" Celestia shouted. Tears filled her eyes as she realized what she had done to her poor, poor sister.

You can't stop us, Celestia. Soon you and your sister will just be pawns. And we will have our revenge.
