The tea party continued with Megan and Twilight expressing interest in how Luna and Celestia started to explain how they got to where they are now.
“Has anypony seen Celestia and Luna?!” Posey shouted over the masses, “I can’t find them anywhere and we need to get to safety! Grogar has come back and is even stronger than he ever was before! They aren’t safe out there!”
"Why aren't we staying with Posey and the rest of the ponies that are over at Paradise Estate?" said Luna.
"I believe that if we can find Megan Williams, we will be safe from what's going on especially since Posey said that she is Ponyland's savior." said Celestia.
Unfortunately, the two sisters weren’t able to find her. However, they did find what is believed to be the Midnight Castle.
They took refuge here and trusted in its safety due to it being isolated from the rest of the world.
Luna noticing the castle said, "“Tia, I’m scared. I don’t like it here. What if Tirac comes back to life and tries to turn us into his chariots like he did with the other ponies before? Or what if he-“
Celestia interrupted with, "Oh nonsense dear sister. I am confident everything will be fine! Megan Williams has already vanquished him with the Rainbow of Light and everything is back to the way it used to be! What could possibly go wrong?”
“Everything dear sister... everything.” said Luna
They stayed for a certain amount of time. When they believed it was safe, and that Grogar’s reign of destruction had ceased, they left. After wandering for a time they came across a tribe of unicorns and the tribe took them in.
A fellow unicorn approached them and said, "I have never seen unicorns like you before, and I would like to know your names."
“My name is Celestia and this is my sister Luna” said Celestia as she and Luna came towards the other unicorns.
"Those are very strange names for such unicorns let alone ponies." said the unicorn who welcomed them.
Celestia then said, "That's because we were named by Megan Williams herself."
The other unicorns displayed great emotions of honor and welcomed them into the group. They felt that they had to, especially if Ponyland's own savior named them.
Celestia noticed some exhausted unicorns and asked, "Why do those unicorns always feel tired whenever they have to raise the sun and moon?"
That said unicorn answered with, "Because using such a spell takes a lot of energy out of them. We are hoping that, one day, we will find a unicorn(s) that can raise the sun and moon with no problems. The prophecy states that this will give the unicorn(s) who can do this very rare cutie marks giving the symbols of the sun and the moon."
Luna then asked, "Are there any possible candidates for this?"
The unicorn continued with responded saying, "Sombra, who claims himself as king of this tribe, believes he can raise the sun and the moon. He supports this claim saying that he can levitate large boulders and other heavy objects that most of us can't seem to lift. However, he has still been unable to raise the either one despite that."
They then went towards Sombra. When they got there, he was constantly hurling rocks at another unicorn. She refused to accept his claim that Megan was never going to return. He even claimed she abandoned Ponyland when she was needed the most.
As Sombra was chucking rocks at the poor unicorn, he sneered, "If Megan Williams was really going to return, then why isn't she here right now to stop me from hurting you?"
Celestia intervened saying, “Hey! Stop throwing rocks at that poor unicorn! If you don’t stop, you might actually kill her! You wouldn’t want that now would you?”
Sombra acknowledged the sisters saying, “Hey wha- oh, you must be the new unicorns. I’ll let you off with a warning... this time. But if you get in my way again, you’ll wish you hadn’t, and I won’t go easy on you or your little sister! Just because you were named by that human, doesn’t make either of you special.”
Celestia feeling curious asked, "What exactly did that unicorn do that made you want to hurl rocks at her?"
Sombra responded to the sisters saying, "She refused to accept the fact that Megan Williams isn't coming back. She STILL thinks that she is Ponyland's savior, despite the fact that she turned her back on us when she was needed the most. Not to mention she keeps a book chronicling her time here that she wrote herself, when she should be getting rid of it instead."
Luna, now curious about what just happened, turned towards Celestia and asked, "Is this true? Did Megan Williams abandon us?"
Celestia then answered back with saying, "I believe that there are two sides to every story... It might be a good idea to hear about what happened from that unicorn. Besides, I find it hard to believe that Megan Williams would do such a thing, especially if she is said to be the savior."
Both Celestia and Luna decided to follow the bruised unicorn to understand what happened from her point of view.
Celestia asked the bruised unicorn, "Since you are the one the who wrote about Megan William's history of being here, maybe you can tell us more about her and why you still believe that she is Ponyland's savior despite what happened."
The bruised unicorn responded explaining, "The reason why she wasn't here when Grogar returned even more powerful and relentless than ever was because the ponies that normal send for Megan didn't want her to be into harm's way for this one."
Luna answered with, "If she was Ponyland's savior, then wouldn't joining that fight make sense for her?"
The bruised unicorn responded, "In this case it was best that she wouldn't fight even if it meant anyone here who had to fight had to sacrifice themselves in the process."
Celestia said, "In other words, it was the ponies that she was normally with that are the backstabbers and not her."
The bruised unicorn then said quickly responded explaining, "No, they weren't the traitors either. The reason why Megan wasn't in that fight was because despite being Ponyland's savior and the keeper of the Rainbow of Light, as well as being known for wanting to placing herself into harm's way to protect others, she was still just a human girl from Earth, and If she was to be killed in that battle, her brother and sister would have a tough time explaining to her parents why she isn't around."
Celestia and Luna then understood why Megan wasn't there and then knew it was for her sake.
The bruised unicorn insisted and told them, "Please take this book with you. because You will be the last ponies Sombra will think would have it! But please, be careful! You’ll have to do a better job at hiding it than I did to make sure he never sees it! especially when You already saw what he did with me for refusing to get rid of it."
"Don’t worry. We’ll take care of this book and make sure that he never sees it." Celestia promised.
I will admit that writing was never my best subject, which is why I didn't do so good at it in school and in college hence my kryptonite despite being good at other subjects. The first mistake you mention was on my end, but I did correct it by replacing Twilight with Celestia. The rest I did take your advice and corrected some of them so they would sound better. At the point they reach the tribe, they are pretty much between foals to young adults at this point, so they are no longer fillies at this time. BTW, I did so some research on the Royal Sisters, and I know that Celestia is known for being optimistic at times while Luna has the tendency to be more realistic especially when things can get critical. As for Sombra, he has history of being arrogant and how he is explained here shows just that and probably why he was later on overthrown due to displaying such. On a side note, the fact that they have the book at the end of this chapter ties into why the very book was hidden only to have Twilight discover at the start of the fanfic I already did if you actually read it. One other thing, being that this fanfic is mostly going to be a flashback, there will be times where either Megan and/or Twilight will be interrupting them be it the beginning of the chapter or even somewhere along them, so don't be surprised when that happens.

First of all, I did link my first fanfic to this one. If you do read Destiny or Coincidence, then there parts of it where Megan says that she didn't remember either of the Royal Sisters having wings when she first saw them when brought over to Paradise Estate. In a way, this is hinted there. In this fanfic, I'm sort of changing the order a little bit here by saying that they get their cutie marks first in that they discover what their destiny is, but they do see it as a stepping stone to what they will become later on in feeling that there is more to just accomplishing a rare feat if you know what I mean, but I won't mention anything else because I don't want to give away the next chapter. As for Sombra, he was always pictured as having a narcistic personality, and I keep that in this fanfic. Honestly, I don't know what relation he would really have with Luna, but I could see something with Nightmare Moon. However, Luna in the rest of the series does take every step to make sure she never becomes that again after feeling what it did to her originally, so that relation with her dark side with Sombra won't happen. He might get something with Daybreaker, but this character only appeared once, and that was in the episode A Royal Problem, which revealed Celestia's dark side, but unlike Luna, it was highly unlikely that she was going to take that form outside the dream realm, because Celestia was never shown to express high levels of anger that would give her that form whereas Luna only became Nightmare Moon due to all the neglect and loneliness she had gotten over the years that lead her to being that way. I never got why he doesn't go after Queen Chrysalis especially when she is shown to pure evil and almost seem to mirror him in a number of way. Since you said you don't know about Megan, I won't blame you or anyone for this especially you're not as old as I am to know about her. There are places online that do have the episodes from G1 such as Watch Cartoons Forever that have them as well as the movie and specials. I never got why G4 was made with G1 in mind, but didn't want to place a revamped version of her especially since she was the face of it, but I feel that was due to the fact that Lauren Faust said that she didn't want any human characters in the show. The other reason why she didn't appear in that series was because even after Faust left that could reopened that door was probably because the writers couldn't find a way to fit her in due to the way the series was formatted especially with a good part of it being dedicated to everyday life when her original character was dedicated to adventure only, so placing her in might have been too complicated not to mention how she would have been portrayed even if she could be in there, though I'm guessing she would have been just an ally for the Mane 6 in some episodes, but not made part of the group itself. What I find interesting about her is that if you were type both Megan Williams and My Little Pony and do a Google Image search, you will find a lot of images that shows her with G4 characters despite not being part of the show itself, which probably shows how much she hasn't been forgotten even to this day. On a side note, it's said that she will appear in the five part comic series that is coming out in two weeks, but she won't be introduced until the third part when it comes out towards the end of the year, so for me, that sort of makes up for the missed opportunity of not having her in the series, though I don't know how she will be portrayed in this, so we'll just have to wait and see until then.

If you want to know how Megan Williams was first brought in, then I suggest looking for Rescue at Midnight Castle. However, if you can find the original one and the one from the G1 series MLP 'n Friends, there will be scenes that didn't make it in when it was integrated into the series not to mention an ending where she gets flown back home and sees her pony again. One other thing, you better get a look at the ponies that appear in that special, because none of them appeared again, just her and Spike were reused after that. Also, it would have been nice if Hasbro allowed for Megan to keep her original outfit rather than what she wound up with the in the movie and series. As for Posey, she is also a G1 character and was first introduced in Escape from Catrina, and is seen as a caretaker of what's either a nursery or daycare center, though it's not clear what that place was in that special. When the movie came out, she became the caretaker for Paradise Estates as well as in the series itself. Most of the time, she is shown either being the garden or taking care of the baby ponies that come there where in this case she is a full time mother for both Luna and Celestia since they don't seem to have any parents, but it's not as if their parents were ever revealed in the show or the journal about them hence no actual contradictions were made. If you don't know what she looks like, she's pretty much Fluttershy without her wings, though that is mentioned in Destiny or Coincidence as well, plus that pony was actually the inspiration for the pony you know according to Lauren Faust. On a side note, if you saw the Equestria Girls special, Rollercoaster of Friendship, there is a young girl who is a yellow-skinned brunette and is wearing light blue overalls with a pink shirt underneath that is reference to what Megan herself wore in the series even though I wasn't too fond of that look, though I never really thought that it was meant to be her especially if that girl looked younger and didn't have any lines at all in the special. One other thing, that look probably looked better on that supposed character of her than when she wore it in the series, because I just felt that she looked too old for it. Overall, I don't think that was meant to be her, but rather than an Easter Egg that gave reference to her even though a number of bronies do seem to claim that was her. Just looking at this picture below shows that very difference.
