One Thousand Years

One thousand years of waiting. That is what you have sentenced me to, my sister dear. We’ve done so much together. And what did you do? You banished me. You threw me away, because you didn’t want to realise the truth. What would our mother think of us now? She would snap at us and say we were acting like foals. She always was above such petty things. Above us. Sound familiar? It should. It’s what you were trying to do. To raise yourself above me. You don’t deserve to be above me, or even equal with me. You were weak, resorting to using the Elements. And you couldn’t even finish the job. Coward.

Sometimes I wonder if it would have been better if you had just finished it. Killed me. That would have been merciful. It hurts, you know? Being banished. It’s the most painful thing imaginable. Having your soul shackled to a place is far worse than any physical chains. It burns inside you, like a thousand wounds on your heart, tearing you apart. It still hurts. And I think it always will. I’ve cried because of it. I have shed so many tears since I got here. They outnumber the stars in my sky. Some of sadness. Some of anger. But most were of pain. So much pain. So much. And you gave it all to your own sister. You’re a monster.

I don’t know why I’m surprised. It’s who you are, who you always have been. It’s never enough for you. There always has to be more. More power, more adoration, more love. More pain. Will it ever be enough? Not for you it won’t. You won’t stop until they chant your name like that of a god, till they worship the ground you walk on. They will sing you praises day and night, and bask in your burning light. And you will love it. Because that is who you are. You will savour the songs of your accomplishments, lap up the tales of your rule, and take pleasure in the legends of your victories over monster, demon and sister.

Enjoy it while you can sister. It will not last. I’m coming for you. I will return, and I will destroy you in a tide of darkness and shadow. Your precious sun will flicker and die, and you along with it. Your ponies will see the true beauty and power of the night, and they will realise that they have been following a false god. They will rip down your statues, curse your name, and remove every trace of you from their lives. My revenge, my rise to the power that I deserve. I will pull you down from my throne, and crush you beneath my hooves. And it’s your fault. One thousand years of waiting and pain, but it will be worth it. I’m coming for you sister.

Wohoo! A monologue. Yay, I thought I am the only one, who makes them. This was awesome. Short, simple, cold. Like facts, snapping at you. A great job.
