42 - Two Is Enough [2023.11]

“Celestia, my dear sister, this ‘Equestria’ as they call it will be the end of us. We have been cut off from the Alicorn society.”

“Calm down, little sister. The plan is still in effect. We may lack the wise counsel of our elders, but we still have each other.”

“Just the two of us against the world?”

“No, Luna. With the world. We are not to rule over ponies, we are to guide them to their full potential.”

“What is the difference?”

“Ponies are like flowers waiting to blossom. They just need some sunshine.”

“They are lazy, sleeping all the nights away. I think Opaline might have had the right idea.”

“I have banished her for good. Don’t make me banish you too.” Celestia playfully booped Luna on her muzzle and hugged her.

Luna cherished the warmth of her sister, yet at the same time the long shadow chilled her.
