The Real Queen of Night

The Real Queen of Night

Huh?! What’s this?! Impossible! No!
Can it be that I’m still alive?
There’s no way, I should have been killed!
Absurd that I somehow survived!

The Elements should have turned me to stone
Or left not one speck to remain.
And yet, somehow, I still draw breathe.
When I clearly should have been slain.

Celestia must’ve been holding back.
If not, I’m sure I’d be dead.
I knew she wouldn’t have the heart.
This choice, she’s going to dread!

Haha! Celestia, what a foal!
Now you’re going to die!
You should have killed me with that attack!
Wait, where am I?

Oh, sister, you vile troll.
I see where I’ve been strewn.
You still do love your irony.
You locked me on the moon!

Was that your plan, sister dear?
You hoped that you could break me?
You tried to strand me on the moon
In hopes that it would shake me?

It’s not going to work, that I can assure.
To you, I’ll never repent!
Your sick, cruel, twisted humor
Strengthens my intent!

As soon as I escape this hell
I’m coming for the throne.
I need to increase my strength, however.
I cannot take you alone.

Even steeled by the darkness of night,
My power will not suffice.
And worse, you have the Elements.
The ultimate backup device!

I only need to find an escape,
A way to get back home.
But more pressing, I must get stronger
If I am to take back my throne.

And the Elements of Harmony,
I must destroy those stones!
Wait a moment. What’s this I feel?
I sense that I’m not alone.

Princess Luna? How can this be?
I thought we were one and the same!
Impossible for us both to be here.
The answer, I must ascertain!

Hmm. The Elements of Harmony.
The ultimate forces of good.
Perhaps they contain the strength to destroy
Any darkness that once stood.

Perhaps when those stones hit me,
My evil, they tried to erase.
Clean Luna of all of my darkness,
Restore her to her grace.

The spell didn’t work! Our corrupted mind
Was shattered beyond repair.
Instead our soul was fractured in two
A princess and a nightmare!

One of us overflowing with hate,
A being filled with spite.
The other, what Luna was before,
A being filled with light.

But we are not completely apart
I’ve not yet been set free.
We still must share one physical form
Though different entities.

Could this perhaps be the answer to why
Celestia, we could not defeat?
The goodness in Luna would not allow,
If our sister, we were to mistreat.

Luna’s weakness held me back
When I tried to take the crown.
And presently, I’m linked with her.
She’s pulling my strength down!

I can never defeat Celestia
While tethered to this weakling!
Impossible to take my throne,
No havoc to be reeking!

I can’t stand for this, I will not allow
My power to be restricted.
I’ll take control of the form we share.
Her life force will be constricted.

Overpower her, seal her away forever,
Locked in a corner of our mind.
With nothing left to hold me back
I’ve no reason to be kind.

Once this is over I’ll reign supreme
Over all that stand in my way.
Finally, I will create
A world with no more day!

The only thing stopping my glorious rise
Is Luna, the poor little dear.
She’s been a pain for far too long.
Time to make her disappear.

Luna holds no candle to me.
She’s helpless before my might.
I think it’s time to show this brat
Who is the real queen of Night.
