Hammer

Sequel to Kitten
Out in one of the fields surrounding Ponyville stood two alicorns, the onyx mare had a small pup curled on her back.
“Okay, getting a pet does help with connecting with others especially others who also have pets. It might be a way to help you meet and know my friends in a better situation than what usually occurs.” Twilight said thinking of the past few attempts disasters of her friends to meet Nightmare Moon and the inevitable anger or fear that did result of said encounters, all the while staring at Nightfall on Nightmare’s back. “Speaking of talking to others, that is something you still need to work on.”
“What help would I need? My speech is not entirely riddled with archaic grammar and words like Luna’s was” asked Nightmare Moon.
Twilight sighed, “When speaking to me or Luna, you’re fine. Speaking to others you sound like you’re ready to smite them or you view them as inferior or you do both.”
“I do not!” Nightmare Moon retorted.
“Fluttershy” was the quick reply.
Nightmare Moon shrank back a bit, “Oh right, your skittish friend. It is not my fault that mare jumps at the shadows or whatever frightens her.”
Twilight rubbed her forehead feeling a building headache, “Not just her. Mayor Mare…. actually the entire populace of Ponyville and Canterlot all have heard you speak each sentence like it's a grand proclamation that you will smite them if they do not listen to you.”
Nightmare Moon just grunted, “Fine, perhaps I do speak of smiting every pony down but is that not needed? We, as ponies who possess power and might must demonstrate this to those beneath us, is it not proper for those of our status for these shows of power?”
“I told you when you were considering which animal to be your pet that intimidation and power are less necessary than it used to be. We, Equestria prefers to show diplomacy and a softer touch than the strong iron hooves that were needed over a millenium ago. There is less of a need to show power, here we try to emphasis equality when possible I realize there is a contradiction with how Equestria is still a monarchy but you have to understand that a great portion of the royal powers have been granted to others. This is why we have a Prime Minister who leads the elected body and who leads if all the Princesses are absent.”
Nightmare snorted, “Fine yet you still have a pet that would in time strike fear into the hearts of all those beneath you.”
“Who?” asked Twilight.
“Your pet dragon, that purple one that follows you around.”
Twilight sighed again, “He is not a pet, his name is Spike and he is my family, friend, assistant, and many more things than that. He is not my pet!”
“Fine” Nightmare Moon grumbled, “So shall we need to do then?”
“The same thing I started with for Luna, let’s begin with dialing back on the volume and the reckless displays of power.”

What's an all powerful goddess without a reckless display of power?
“I told you when you were considering which animal to be your pet that intimidation and power are less necessary than it [=they] used to be. We, Equestria prefers [wrong grammar for the 'we' pronoun] to show diplomacy and a softer touch than the strong iron hooves that were needed over a millenium ago. There is less of a need to show power, here [should be start of a new sentence] we try to emphasis [=emphasize] equality when possible I realize [missing punctuation, now one trainwreck of a sentence] there is a contradiction with how Equestria is still a monarchy but [more missing punctuation] you have to understand that a great portion of the royal powers have been granted to others.
Couldn't read on, too much of a trainwreck.

I know that you didn't like it but this was useful. For me, my grammar is sometimes off especially regarding sentence breaks and punctuation. The whole emphasis/emphasize is because the two words for me can sound similar, which makes it confusing on which one to use.
Hahaha, Nightmare Moon wants to show off her power. XD So silly!
