Beginning of journey: Celestia, one of many dynasties

Moon number 16, 20th B.C.-A.C. (Before Celestia-After Celestia) Page 38.

A Great Many Moons Ago, while I was studying the factors of a feeling I've dubbed 'Friendship', I made a new 'Friend' to help with my study... A very powerful mare who is one of the great Faust dynasty. Her name is Princess Celestia, and having no idea about what happened to the former dynasty, who just vanished, leaving the kingdom in a very vulnerable condition. We had to pick a new ruler fast. Who was my former acquaintance and a jest pony, became ruler.

Moon number 24, 21st A.C. Page 39.

After the recent events of my acquaintance, Celestia, became ruler, she proposed in her grace that her sister, Luna, be part. Many opposed it, I, on the other hoof, never gave doubt to this. In fact, I supported Luna all the way, aside from Celestia. Luna was more willing to help when her sister is not around. We get many things done within the short times we had. After the council decided, everypony was either mad, or happy that they got their wish. So, Luna was promoted to Princess Luna, and Princess Celestia passed and vetoed some laws. Things looked good for quite some time...

Moon number 4, 31st N.M.M.R (NightMare Moon's Rule) Page 3.

With the shocking news that Princess Luna had become Nightmare Moon, A great wave of remorse fell over me, for I had been the one to turn her into the monster she is now, while we experiment, I had told her of a legend that would give either peace or terror to ponykind, I told her she was NOT the one... She ignored my words and gave into the feeling called 'hatred' and became Nightmare Moon... I've gotten a sample of 'Hatred' from her, a very powerful substance. Currently we are hiding away within the chambers of Changelings... We had made a short packet to help one another. If we provide free love to them, and protect them, then they will return the protecting, and give us a shelter to hide from Nightmare moon's eternal night. But, besides the point, I still examine and will try to figure out this feeling of 'Love' and 'hatred', while experimenting on and finding out how a changeling works...With permission.

Moon number 16, 31st N.M.M.R

Our Princess and the Queen of the Changelings decided that the only way to take care of the Nightmare Moon threat, was to give power the the strongest pony here...By default, I was the one to go to, but I said no, I was getting old and i'm not as agile as I used to be in my prime...and it would be a shame to lose one of the greatest minds to ponykind...They knowingly agreed and decided Princess Celestia would be the one, but the changelings had a different opinion...They thought their own queen would be a better option...Now, I don't blame them, they've been stuck down here for quite some time and 'hope' on their own queen too much. I've seen it happen many times...I felt a brawl coming...

-- A Few hours later --

As I sit in an arena part of the cave, I watch as I see a battle unfold...None other than I've ever seen...A battle...how should I put it? STUPID AND DUMB. I say that because as this battle unfolds, or should I even call it a battle? No, you see, whoever is reading this in the distant future...There is no beams of magic, no spells, nothing of that sort. Not even a brawl just with hooves...No, they are just acting like little children who are too young to understand the concept of fighting. I am as glad as I can about not deciding to play a part in this battle...

Author's Note:

"Jeez, it took quite some time to get this chapter out..."

Starswirl: "Well, maybe because you have so much work, why, back in my day-"

"I already know, I wrote it down in the story!"

Starswirl: "Humph, fine then, be that way."
