One dark night, Celestia tells her sister how she truly feels. She may be locked away in the moon, but Celestia feels nothing can stop her from telling Luna how she's felt.

This made me almost cry. I was hoping there'd been a tearful confrontation, but it was still very nice. :pinkiesad2:

The feeeelss!:fluttercry:

Every Night

*night

fourth

This is 4th, the correct term is "forth"

her greatest loss

Missing period

The Guard asked

*the guard

50

Any number below 100 is spelled out in writing.

"I'm fine." Celestia lied, biting her tongue.

In dialogue, periods are always replaced with commas.

"Are you sure?" He asked. Celestia nodded wearily.

Whenever dialogue ends with "he" or "she" or "it" etc. followed by a verb, that pronoun is capitalized

"I'm tired, that's all."

*,

He bowed

*he

...because of her.

At the end of an ellipsis(three periods, otherwise known as a suspension point) there is a space and the following word is always capitalized

That darkness....Celestia

Grammar aside, there are a few awkward phrases and a noticeable amount of blatant telling.

The premise itself was fine, a little cliche-- regardless, this was written fairly well. I would just suggest rereading the chapter and look for ways to improve the flow and not tell the reader Celestia's feeling directly, but rather show them through facial expressions, pauses, actions, etc. while still keeping a balance between the two.

The only other thing I have to comment about is that throughout paragraphs two and three you start several sentences, nearly all in a row, with the word "She". I would suggest using Celestia's name more here and try to use difference sentence structures.

The good in this chapter did outweigh the bad though, so I will upvote. My favorite part was when Celestia wished she was one of Luna's guards, to be at her beck and call. I found that fairly intriguing. I guess I'm just a sucker for psychology in stories:derpytongue2:

That is all. Equestria is ours.

:rainbowwild::derpytongue2:

Nice, but I did notice some errors here and there, like

Your not Nightmare Moon," Celestia channeled all her emotions into her word,"Your my sister."

especially since it came right after

"You're not a monster.

You're is you are

Your is a possessive
Also Words*

Otherwise, I liked it.

This is very heartwarming on a cold night. There were a few grammar mistakes, pointed out by a few comments before mine, but all in all I like the story. To break it down scientifically, it is thermally intensive to my cardiovascular regions.

Have a tongue for a job well done.

:rainbowwild:

This was very good! Nice job.
(I didn't cry, though.)

This has been approved for the Sibling Story Stockpile.

This was quite well written. I enjoy these sad stories, but I can never seem to put that feel of sadness in. You know, that one little detail that makes people say, "Ow, my feels!" This story has the feel to it that makes a good, sad story.

I thought it was good, but not great.
Full review pending...

You had a few noticeable grammatical errors. Most were pointed out by other comments, so I will refrain from mentioning them.

The pacing of the story was a bit rushed for me. You could have fleshed it out a bit more. I also think that adding something at the beginning that showed a part of her day would have helped.

Today had been a long day for her, full of praises from her subjects. They thought that she was a perfect pony, the greatest role model, but she knew they were wrong. She had made many mistakes, some more severe than others. She kept looking straight ahead. Every night when she descended the sun and brought forth the moon, it was a constant reminder of her greatest loss

Like this paragraph. You could probably write an entire story about this paragraph, about exactly what happened and how her subjects behaved to bring her down like this.

Altogether, I thought it was good but too short. You still win a thumbs up though. :raritywink:

maybe I'll make a prequel based on that paragraph.

hey lunar here, this is pretty good but I'll freely admit to skimming this (sad is a tag I tend to avoid) but this was really good for what I did read (which was most of the main points):twilightsmile:

I must be a grizzled feels veteran or something. I didn't feel much from this story, but i can definitely tell it was meant to stir them up.

Just sayin'....

DON'T RUIN IT FOR MEH

I'm sorry but you're using my artwork for you story ("You're loved") without permission, also it's used for the wrong reason (she is not crying for her sister on my art). I would like you to take it down.

It's sad, but I thought it was good. I have this image in my head of Celestia crying herself to sleep once a month on average during Luna's exile. It's just a bad situation however you slice it. Good job.
