Only you, Celestia, would believe invading our chambers, invading our privacy and writing in our diary would be akin to taking action.
You did fail and we were made to suffer for thy shortcomings. We will not dwell on such dark memories though. Instead of the night of our fall we shall remember the night of our redemption.
There stood thy student alone and afraid before us. The elements lay shattered at our hoofs and we stood where our throne had once been. We had won. We had given in to every dark desire a ‘good pony’ was taught to resist and to lock away in their heart and we stood validated in power.
For that brief moment our victory was complete. There was nothing thy apprentice or anypony could do to end the eternal night. The glory and bitterness of the moment was cut short by the other element bearers. One by one the elements were reclaimed.
Honesty to the orange earth mare, Applejack the farmer.
Kindness to the shy pegasus, Fluttershy who cares for animals.
Laughter to the pink mare, Pinkie Pie who went from weeping to throwing me a party in the blink of an eye. Ironic, that Discord in his revenge restored a memory I so regret losing.
Generosity to the beautiful unicorn, Rarity the seamstress.
Loyalty to the brazen pegasus. We had forgotten what it looked like. When it abandoned us more than a thousand years ago we ceased to concern ourself with the hypocrisy of Rainbow Dash’s new necklace.
And finally Twilight. What did you do to this filly sister? Often I must calm her troubled dreams as this same scene plays out in her mind. Only it is not us she sees on the dais. It is not our victorious sneer that plagues her night; no it is your disappointed frown.
What have you done to her that she fears disappointing you more than the very death of Equestria? Once I was jealous of her place at you hoofs now I cannot help but pity her.
We go. Not for ourself but for the mare who sees you in her nightmares.

Double update! Huzzah! Loved this one especially! Particularly the part about Twilight's nightmares.
It's clear that unlike the audience Luna has yet to realize that Twilight regards Celestia as a mother figure as well as a mentor, so disappointing Celestia losing her love is Twilight's greatest fear. Losing Twilight is probably on short list of things that scare Celestia too. What Luna takes away from Nightmare Night will be fascinating, I always felt the episode spoke strongly of Twilight's character and attitude, and her transformation from anti-social to alicorn of friendship. Upon seeing Luna every other pony is terrified, but Twilight lights up and is excited at the prospect of getting to know Luna as a pony. The rest of the episode has Twilight trying to introduce Luna to Ponyville in that same context, as a pony just like them.
(Dagnabbit Luna... ... ... ... She is REALLY stubborn... I don't entirely blame her but that's not exactly healthy for her.)
Your development both in story and character is great!
"........for the mare who sees you in her nightmares."
...........
Poor Twilight is a neurotic when it comes to her relationship with Celestia; it's inevitable that Luna would have seen it in her dreams.
Ouch.
Nice one there, Celestia.
I believe the plurals is 'hooves' and you seem to have left off the 'r' in 'your'.
