In Celebration of a Hundred.

102. Eyes.

The worst thing to see in the eyes of a younger sibling is hatred.

There are nights when I still get nightmares about that day, and have to check up on Luna to ensure myself that my nightmares are just that.

Let me correct myself; hatred is the second worst thing to see in a younger sibling's eyes. There are nights Luna comes to me, asking if she might sleep next to me; her eyes filled with an old fear. And I feel so... powerless.

You see, Twilight... even though I rule over the sun, I am far from perfect.

Least she can admit that.

Celestia herself has never said that she was perfect, but you know how the rumor mill can be.

Yes; thank you for writing this! SOOO many people are all "Celestia's too perfect!" "She thinks she's so good..." but she has ever said that! How perfect do they think she felt when she had banished her own sister to the moon with tears in her eyes? That hurt her, and... She is the ruler that the ponies can look up to. Luna is more in touch with her subjects' needs, more familiar and approachable, as it should be. That's why there's two of them...
