A poem version of the origin story between Luna, Celestia, Discord, and Nightmare Moon.

Have you ever heard the story of a time long ago
And the battle between us three?
It is a tale which few ponies know
Of Discord, my sister, and me.

My very best friend, in stone I encased,
When he tried to destroy this land.
My belov’d sister, whom I sent to space
When I learned what it was she had planned.

It killed me to do it, I’d no choice, you see.
To fight them, it broke my heart.
But this story is not just about me.
With Discord, our anecdote starts.

Fiery Helios, Icy Selene

Fiery Helios, Icy Selene

Well hello, Luna, how was your night?
Beautiful, I presume?
It’s now time for day, I was hoping you might
Begin to lower the moon.

My darling sister, Celestia, dear,
I’m afraid I cannot comply.
I’ve been giving it some thought, you see,
I don’t want your sun to rise.

Ah, excellent, Luna, thank you.
Now I shall start the day.
And now all the ponies below can begin to-
Wait, what did you say?

Don’t play the foal, Celestia,
You heard what I just said.
I’m tired of wasting my glorious night
On ponies who just lay in bed.

So I’ve decided, there’s only one way
To make them appreciate night.
Eternal nighttime guarantees
At some point they’ll bask in its might.

Luna, what are you saying? That’s nonsense!
Surely this must be a joke!
Now please, discontinue this pretense.
I must wake the townsfolk.

Oh, I’m sorry. Was I not very clear?
My moon is going nowhere.
The ponies, all they do is ignore me.
I’m going to force them to care.

Luna, please, you’re starting to scare me.
I know how you like to play tricks,
But this one is not in the slightest bit funny.
Please, be done with it, quick!

No, sister, I now know the truth.
Discord opened my eyes.
He really is quite clever, you know.
He’s shown to me all of your lies.

Luna, I was there! I was with you that day!
I heard everything too!
Discord was mad, he was in disarray!
Not one thing he said had been true!

Oh, sister? Then please do explain,
I must know the reason why
There isn’t a single creature awake
When my moon is up in the sky.

Luna, the ponies need to get rest!
But it’s too bright during my day.
I‘m sorry that this has caused you distress
But they must sleep your night away!

So you admit it, sister dear.
My night, they really do waste.
This leads us to a problem, you see.
I’m tired of being disgraced!

The ponies ignore me, they never did care.

Luna! You know that’s not true!

It seems that only one option remains.

What’s gotten into you?!

Eternal night, I must bring forth
And with it, a new regime.
One where your sun will never shine
And I will reign supreme!

I’m sorry, sister, I won’t be stopped.
I’ll give you these options two.
Step down and let night last forever
Or I’ll do away with you.

Luna, I can’t, you and I both know
To survive, we all need the sun!
I cannot just let the ponies below
Die from what you’ll have done!

I’m sorry to hear that, Celestia.
I never wanted to fight.
But you’ve forced my hoof, so attack I must
For the glory of my night!

Luna, I’m begging you, listen to reason!
You are respected and loved!
You don’t have to commit this treason
To showcase your moon up above!

What’s wrong sister? You’re not going to fight?
And I thought this would be hard.
With you so quickly out of the way
My victory will be unmarred!

I had so hoped you wouldn’t do this,
My sister, I don’t want to kill.
But you can’t seem to listen to logic
So it seems your blood I must spill.

Goodbye, sister. I’m sorry to say
You won’t get to see my rule.
A place where the sun never shines.
Where everything ‘s sad and cruel.

I don’t wish to fight, but give up I can’t.
I’ll protect the ponies below.
Your eternal rule, I cannot grant.
I’ll defeat you, reluctantly so.

I’m sorry that this is how it must be.
I regret it. Truly, I do.
There are no other options that I can see.
I cannot reason with you.

Luna, though it makes me distraught,
These diamonds, we now have to see.
I must use, though I deplore the thought,
The Elements of Harmony!

Father’s gems? You couldn’t! You wouldn’t!
You’d kill me in this fight?
The Celestia I know would never do that
To her dear little sister of night!

I don’t even know what you have become!
But one thing I do know for sure.
Such destruction, Luna would never fathom.
You’re not even her anymore!

Luna would never threaten a life
Or hurt those she cared about!
She would never cause such strife!
Or make an eternal blackout!

So you seek to kill me, sister dear,
By turning me into stone?
The old you would never think do that.
My my, how cold you’ve grown.

It matters little, Sun Princess.
For you are all alone.
Without me, the Elements cannot work.
You can’t use them on your own!

Luna, I almost wish that were the case.
I hate to use these on you.
These Elements were meant for us to showcase
Our kind’s greatest virtues!

Instead you have me using them
To kill my own sister. You!
I hate to wield these trinkets again
But there’s nothing else I can do!

Fine, Celestia, do your best.
Defeat me if you can!
We’ll finally see who is stronger of us
In battle for our land!

Goodbye, sister. I’ll miss you so.

What?! This cannot be!

This hurts me more than you’ll ever know.

You cannot defeat me!!!

Torturing The Both Of Us

Torturing the Both of Us

I’m sorry, Luna, for what I’ve done,
I wish I’d had a choice.
I had to protect my cursed sun,
And now all the ponies rejoice.

They seem to think you were a monster,
Needing to be slain.
But you were still my little sister.
Can’t they see my pain?

A party in honor of the sun.
I wish they wouldn’t remind me.
My heart feels though it weighs a ton,
From anguish I can’t flee.

Luna, where did I go wrong?
I thought you were so happy.
How was I blind for so very long?
Your pain I could not see.

What happened to us, little sister?
What is it I don’t know?
I heard not a single whisper.
Why did your anger grow?

Without you I am all alone,
No one with whom I can talk.
All the ponies see the throne,
And all they do is gawk.

The only one who understood
What we both go through.
And for the sake of common good
I sent you to the moon.

The ponies, they may love me so,
But they don’t last forever.
I know that they will come and go,
But leave, I thought you’d never.

I failed you, Luna, I truly did.
Regret it, I really do.
And though for it, the shame I hid,
I failed Discord, too.

My best friend just wanted a laugh,
So my sun he took away.
He did it not on evil’s behalf,
He simply wanted to play.

But blinded by my pointless rage,
I did not see a friend.
Instead a battle I did wage,
His rule I had to end.

I killed him, turned him into stone.
I doubt he could survive.
But you, my very flesh and bone,
I could not petrify.

Instead I sent you out to space,
The moon you love so dear.
I cannot get you off that place.
I don’t know how, I fear.

Both my friends I did destroy,
To save our fair country.
The Elements, I did deploy,
To protect Harmony.

I cannot bear these Elements,
These horrid chunks of rock!
I care not what they represent,
My very heart, they mock!

They helped me kill my greatest friend,
Banish my sister too.
Their curse, it seems to have no end.
I know what I must do.

I must destroy these wretched things,
Regardless of the cost.
Only pain, these gemstones bring.
Only pain and loss.

I shall eradicate these rocks,
Smash them into bits!
Cure the world of this evil pox!
…..But I can’t do this.

It’s not the fault of these blasted stones.
I cannot pass the blame.
This is my fault and mine alone.
I must live with the shame.

Never again will I let this happen,
The ponies I won’t fail.
Where there is pain, I will take action.
Happiness will prevail.

I must protect them and their hearts,
Though it’s too late for me.
Mine ‘s already torn apart.
There’s no more harmony.

I now know what father meant
When he spoke of the cost to rule.
He joked, I thought, to the extent,
But I was such a fool.

In order to sit upon the throne,
Decisions must be made.
Truly, I am all alone.
The cost, I have now paid.

Luna, please forgive me
For what I had to do.
Your soul must burn in agony,
Just as mine does too.

I don’t know how to set you free,
But one thing I do know.
I don’t care how long it takes me,
I will bring you home.

The Dream You Can't Wake Up From

The Dream You Can’t Wake Up From

I can’t believe I’m still alive
After what I tried to do.
I almost killed my sister, Tia,
And all the ponies, too.

And after all that, what Celestia did
I almost cannot comprehend.
She had the heart to let me live
When the world, I tried to end.

She could have killed me, but instead
Locked me away in the sky.
Alas, the memories haunt me so.
I almost yearn to die.

Well, Luna, you got your wish.
Nighttime to last forever.
The sun never reaches this desolate rock.
There’s no light whatsoever.

As it turns out, my beautiful moon
Is a cold and lonely place.
I just want to go back home.
To Tia’s loving embrace.

But I had to go and ruin the life
That I had and yet ignored.
The happiness, joy, warmth and love
Had all been there before.

I was so blinded by jealousy,
So filled with cold despise,
That I ignored the loving ponies
Right before my eyes.

This is all my fault, I gave her no choice
But to banish me up in the sky.
She had to do it, I was out of control,
There was vengeance in my eyes.

At least this way, nopony gets hurt
At the hands of a monster like me.
That is the only solace I have:
That they’re all safe and free.

I never meant for this to happen.
I just wanted love, that is all.
I let it get the best of me,
And now it’s caused my downfall.

I don’t even deserve to be loved anymore,
Not after all I’ve done.
I hope they just forget about me.
It’s best for everyone.

I wish that I could take it back,
Go back to the way things were.
Resume my life of happiness
With my belov’d sister.

That hope is but a fantasy,
I’m stuck here all alone.
Trapped until the end of time
On this rock I now call home.

Nopony to talk to, not one single friend
And that is how it should be.
The only way that they can be saved
Is to stay away from me.

It’s torture, banished up here on the moon.
However, the worst part of it;
No matter what I’m forced to endure,
I deserve every last bit.

The Real Queen of Night

The Real Queen of Night

Huh?! What’s this?! Impossible! No!
Can it be that I’m still alive?
There’s no way, I should have been killed!
Absurd that I somehow survived!

The Elements should have turned me to stone
Or left not one speck to remain.
And yet, somehow, I still draw breathe.
When I clearly should have been slain.

Celestia must’ve been holding back.
If not, I’m sure I’d be dead.
I knew she wouldn’t have the heart.
This choice, she’s going to dread!

Haha! Celestia, what a foal!
Now you’re going to die!
You should have killed me with that attack!
Wait, where am I?

Oh, sister, you vile troll.
I see where I’ve been strewn.
You still do love your irony.
You locked me on the moon!

Was that your plan, sister dear?
You hoped that you could break me?
You tried to strand me on the moon
In hopes that it would shake me?

It’s not going to work, that I can assure.
To you, I’ll never repent!
Your sick, cruel, twisted humor
Strengthens my intent!

As soon as I escape this hell
I’m coming for the throne.
I need to increase my strength, however.
I cannot take you alone.

Even steeled by the darkness of night,
My power will not suffice.
And worse, you have the Elements.
The ultimate backup device!

I only need to find an escape,
A way to get back home.
But more pressing, I must get stronger
If I am to take back my throne.

And the Elements of Harmony,
I must destroy those stones!
Wait a moment. What’s this I feel?
I sense that I’m not alone.

Princess Luna? How can this be?
I thought we were one and the same!
Impossible for us both to be here.
The answer, I must ascertain!

Hmm. The Elements of Harmony.
The ultimate forces of good.
Perhaps they contain the strength to destroy
Any darkness that once stood.

Perhaps when those stones hit me,
My evil, they tried to erase.
Clean Luna of all of my darkness,
Restore her to her grace.

The spell didn’t work! Our corrupted mind
Was shattered beyond repair.
Instead our soul was fractured in two
A princess and a nightmare!

One of us overflowing with hate,
A being filled with spite.
The other, what Luna was before,
A being filled with light.

But we are not completely apart
I’ve not yet been set free.
We still must share one physical form
Though different entities.

Could this perhaps be the answer to why
Celestia, we could not defeat?
The goodness in Luna would not allow,
If our sister, we were to mistreat.

Luna’s weakness held me back
When I tried to take the crown.
And presently, I’m linked with her.
She’s pulling my strength down!

I can never defeat Celestia
While tethered to this weakling!
Impossible to take my throne,
No havoc to be reeking!

I can’t stand for this, I will not allow
My power to be restricted.
I’ll take control of the form we share.
Her life force will be constricted.

Overpower her, seal her away forever,
Locked in a corner of our mind.
With nothing left to hold me back
I’ve no reason to be kind.

Once this is over I’ll reign supreme
Over all that stand in my way.
Finally, I will create
A world with no more day!

The only thing stopping my glorious rise
Is Luna, the poor little dear.
She’s been a pain for far too long.
Time to make her disappear.

Luna holds no candle to me.
She’s helpless before my might.
I think it’s time to show this brat
Who is the real queen of Night.

Sweet Dreams, Terrible Nightmares

Sweet Dreams, Terrible Nightmares

Hello there, Luna, my poor little child.
You look so melancholy.
And a tad bit shocked, I must admit.
Is it I, your startled to see?

No! You! I thought you were gone,
Destroyed by Celestia’s spell!
How in the world do you still exist,
why inside my head do you dwell?

Please, Luna, you and I both know
How damaged our mind had grown.
I was every bit a part of you
As the thoughts that were your own.

It matters not what spell she used.
She couldn’t destroy me.
So attached, we had become,
Killed, you’d also be.

Instead, with the strength of the Elements,
Our soul was split in two.
And though we must still share a body,
I’m so much stronger than you.

So why don’t you just give up, my dear?
This will all be over so soon.
With you out of the way, my power will grow
And soon I’ll be off of the moon.

Do you really think I’d just let you win
When I know what you’re planning to do?
Whatever the cost, whatever it takes,
I’ll be the end of you.

You got is sent up here to the moon!
You got us locked up in space!
I’m going to make amends for your crime
Of you, there will be no trace!

I got us in this mess, my dear?
Oh, how terribly wrong.
Your dark heart created me, Luna.
It’s been you all along.

Well not anymore, I’m making this right.
No way can you be that strong.
Or else you’d be sitting on the throne
Not here, where you belong!

Why you insolent little foal!
It’s all your fault we lost!
You just had to protect Celestia,
Regardless of the cost!

I am strong enough to take that witch,
And I easily would have done!
If it weren’t for you, holding me back,
Why, there’d be no more sun!

But defeating you will be quick work
I’ll seal you away in our head.
And then I’ll have unlimited power.
Our sister soon will be dead.

Fine then, demon, I’ll give you a fight
This is for Celestia!
For all the ponies you tried to hurt,
For the land of Equestria!

Luna, a battle inside our head,
Is that what you really desire?
Fine, but the outcome is still the same.
Your control over us will expire!

Taunt me all you want, you nightmare,
You can never win.
The time for words is over now,
So let our fight begin!

Cloaks and illusions, shadows and mist,
Powers born from the night.

You really think your parlor tricks
Can help you in a fight?

Allow me to show you what strength truly is.
Thunderstorms, twisters and lightning.

Brute strength will get you nowhere, monster.
You’re not a single bit frightening!

You blunder through this battle,
Flinging spells wherever you can!

Oh, how sad, little Luna.
You really think that is my plan?

I have finesse, and strategy too.
And powers, so much more.
I’ll surround you with clones of myself.
Which one is real? Are you sure?

Now who’s using parlor tricks?
And rather bad ones, too.
These smoke and mirrors just blow away
I’ll easily find you.

A small blast of lightning, a strong gust of wind
They vanish one by one.
What’s this? That was the last of them?
Now where did she run?

What’s the matter, wicked mare?
Afraid to show yourself?
What happened to all your so-called strength?
Come out, you arrogant whelp!

What’s wrong, little Luna? Can you not find me?
I thought my illusions were poor.
You seem to think my power is weak.
Perhaps you’ve misjudged yours?

You cannot hide forever, you know!
I swear I will hunt you down!
I’ll rearrange the moon if I have to,
blast it all around!

My my, such a display of power.
Perhaps you were right after all.
If I were to come out and try to fight,
I’d surely meet my downfall!

Don’t patronize me, you piece of filth!
I’ll blast you into space!
I do not care what damage I cause
To our moon’s lovely face!

Luna, you really should calm down.
Yourself, you will exhaust.
All I have to do is come out
And this fight, you will have lost!

I really must thank you, darling,
Exhausting yourself for me.
Though this battle would not be tough,
You’ve made it far too easy.

You have no strength, no energy left.
It’s over, you are through.
One blast of darkness is all it will take
For me to destroy you!

I don’t care how tired I am,
Or what attack you use!
I’ll give it everything I can,
I can’t afford to lose!

I’m done playing these games, little girl!

Must… keep fighting back!

It’s time for me to finish this!

Can’t… stop her… attack!

Goodbye, Luna, this has been fun.

I cannot let you prevail…..

But let you live, I just cannot.

Sister… I’m sorry I failed.

With that little nuisance out of the way
I can feel myself gaining power.
Oh, this is simply marvelous,
Getting stronger by the hour!

Now only two things still remain
Before I can take the crown.
Vanquishing the Elements,
And finding a way down.

No need to rush, I do believe.
I’ve eternity to prepare.
I may as well glance down below
And see what they’re doing down there.

A celebration for the sun?
Sister, enjoy your feast.
As soon as I get down from here,
All hell will be unleashed.

Spicing Up Life

Spicing Up Life

A little chaos is a wonderful thing,
It adds some spice to life.
Order and rules, they’re so boring.
They cause nothing but strife.

These little ponies seem to have
The need to manage the world.
But life is simply much more fun
When randomly, it unfurls.

But ponies control the weather, the sky,
They control all the forests, and all of its life.
Wild animals, ponies control them too.
There isn’t a single thing they don’t do!

And leading them all
Those silly little rulers,
Celly and Luna.

My best friends, those two have been,
Far back as I can recall.
Remarkable, considering,
An unfortunate pitfall.

I could not be more different than them.
I am far too in love with mayhem.

Chaos
Unpredictable, uncontrollable
Changing, surprising, confusing
Disarray, confusion, structure, harmony
Arranging, controlling, Managing
Organized, logical
Order

Despite all this, we are still friends.
Our differences, we can transcend.

Those two are just so uptight,
And everything must be just right.
I should help them unwind,
Really, it would be kind
And it’d make their days that much more bright.

Hmm.
Maybe….
What if I…
Oh! I got it!
I’ll give them a break!
Give them a whole day off!
Take away the sun and moon.
Without them, they’ll have no more chores!
Celly will be mad, but soon she’ll see
The fun of no responsibilities!

I’m always pulling little pranks on them.
Celly always gets mad, but Luna….
I can always get her to laugh.
This one, though, Celly will love!
She’ll have a laugh, I’m sure!
And just like old times,
Before their rule
Together
We’ll have
Fun.

Asteroid Supernova

Asteroid Supernova

Luna, there you are, my dear.
Something is terribly wrong!
I have some awful news, I fear.
The sun and moon are both gone!

What? Impossible! It cannot be so!

We are the only souls

With power to control those orbs.

Absurd, that they, someone stole.

This mystery, I don’t understand,
But look at the panic it’s caused.
The ponies, down below in the land,
Their very lives have paused.

They’re scared and confused, and so very lost.
This I will not tolerate.
We will find the source, whatever the cost,
And order, we’ll reinstate

.

Wait, I know, there is only one more

With power to control our skies.

It seems you’ve forgotten our dear old friend,
It’s me, Celly! What a surprise!

Discord, this mess is your handiwork?
But what in the heavens name for?
You’ve gone and driven us all berserk.
Our rules, you’ve simply ignored!

Well of course I did, Celly. Don’t you see?
How so very fun, our world can be?
I wanted to give you a chance to relax,
To give you and Luna some time to kickback.

So I took down your sun, and Luna’s moon too.
And now all your chores are done!
It was just a favor, as that’s what friends do.
So come on, let’s have some fun!

Discord, you’re my friend, you know you are,
But you can’t possibly think
That you haven’t taken this joke too far.
You’ve driven them all to the brink!

The ponies in the town below,
They fear for their very lives!
You’ve completely destroyed the status quo
Of how we all survive!

Oh come now, Celly, it was just a joke.
No need to throw a fit.
You're taking this all too seriously.
And freaking out just a bit.

No, Discord. I think not.
I’m sick of your little games.
It would seem that you have forgot
Your promise to keep yourself tame.

Tia, please, you need to calm down.

It really wasn’t that bad.

Discord clearly meant us no harm.

You shouldn’t be so mad.

Even if it was a bit unsafe,

We can fix everything now.

No harm was done, every pony is fine,

Please, just calm yourself down.

What!? Luna, do you not comprehend
Exactly what he has done?
The world, his tiny prank will upend.
He took away my sun!

He rules this land with a chaotic fist,
Keeping ponies everywhere in pain.
We cannot continue on like this.
It’s driving me insane!

Celestia, you always exaggerate
Whenever you get the least bit irate.
These pranks don’t make me a ruler, my dear,
And the ponies are hardly living in fear.

You seem to think I rule this land
Eternally in unrest.
We both know I would never destroy
The ponies’ happiness.

I just wanted some fun, just to play, that is all.
Is it really so bad that you’re this appalled?

Now stop all these lies, and just go relax.
I don’t care much for your tone.
I hate talking to you when you’re like this. In fact,
I think I’ll just leave you alone.

I cannot allow you to go anywhere.
With one trick, there’s always another.
You’re a being that just doesn’t care,
And lives on the pain of others!

Do you know why I pull all these pranks, my dear?
It’s not just because I thrive on your fear.

All I wanted to do
Was brighten the day up for you
And add some delight
To dear Luna’s night
But apparently that’s just plain rude!

Back before you were head of Equestria
You would laugh and play along,
But now that you have all these subjects,
It seems everything I do is wrong!

Well, Celly, I’ll tell you the truth.
I’m sick of the way things are run!
So I don’t care if you think it’s uncouth,
I’m going to have some fun!

We’ve always looked the other way
Because you are our friend.
But look at what you’ve done today.
Your actions I can’t defend!

If this is the way things are to be run
To continue, I cannot allow.
You are a hazard to everyone.
I’m ending this nonsense now.

Tia, stop, you cannot do this!

Think back to all the good times

We have had as three best friends.

Are they worth less than this crime?

One transgression cannot upset

The magic that was in our hearts.

I cannot bear to see you two fight.

You’re tearing our friendship apart!

No, Luna. Can you not hear him?
This is what has to be done.
He’d ruin our nation just on a whim
Or go and destroy my sun!

This is the way it has to be.
Discord will meet his downfall.
I’m ending his reign of chaotic glee.
I’m ending this once and for all.

You know what, Princess? You can’t stop me.

A thunderstorm here, a twister right there.
And why don’t I summon a ninety foot bear?
Where your castle once was, now a forest appears,
Dark and unruly, filled with your fears.
I’ll boil the seas, freeze over the skies,
Kill anypony who dares ask me why.
With a snap of my fingers, the very earth cracks.
I’ll throw the entire world out of whack!

Can you feel it, Celestia?

Chaos.
Powerful. Untamable.
Destroying, creating, rearranging.
Exciting; No rules or order!
Chaos.

Discord, what are you doing?

I know this is not who you are!

Yes, Tia may be out of line

But you’re taking this way too far!

Tia still cares for you, though she is mad,

And I know the real you is there.

I’m begging you, please stop all this madness.

We can work this out, I swear!

Luna, I really don't think
We can fix up this here kink.
She has opened my eyes
To all of her lies
And now I’ll show you, I think.

Discord, what are you talking about?

Tia’s never lied to me.

She is honest, I am positive.
Are you now? Well, we’ll just see.

She tells you she cares, that you’re special as her.
Is that really the truth? Are you really sure?

Because she and I are both aware
When it comes to Luna, nopony cares.

W-what?! Stop this right now.
Afraid of the truth, Princess?

This isn’t the truth! It can’t be! I know it!
I’m honest, every word I confess.

Your sister Celestia, it is clear,
Forgets about you so soon.
If you look back on our chat, I fear,
Not once does she mention your moon.

Why do you love her so much, I wonder,
When she doesn’t care about you?
And now that I stop and think for a second,
The ponies ignore you too!

No! That’s nonsense! They clearly love me!

They love the moon and starlight!

They always treat me with love and respect!
Then why do they sleep through your night?

That’s enough, Discord! Leave Luna alone!
This is between you and me!
I am the one that you need to dethrone
If you wish to destroy harmony!

Oh, I’m not through with you yet, Princess,
But you can do me no harm.
With a snap of my fingers, your horn disappears,
And look at that! Now you’re unarmed!

I wonder how you will fight with no magic.
Your situation is so very tragic.
You might as well give up now, my friend.
I would hate if today, your life were to end.

Ah- No! this cannot be true!
How could you be so strong?!
I always thought I was equal to you.
Were you playing us all along?

Why yes, Celestia, I did!
How very clever of you.
But now I will no longer kid.
With these games, I am through.

I don’t care if you’re incredibly strong,
I don’t care what you can do.
I’ve defended this nation my entire life long
And I’ll never surrender to you.

Very well then, have it your way.
Goodbye, my very dear friends.
I’ll always remember the memories,
But now, your rule I must end.

You used to be my friend, Discord.

But now I can't recognize you.

Please, forgive Tia and I

For what we’re about to do.

Tia, do you remember

When father gave us those gems?

He told us only to bring them to light,

If our nation, we had to defend.

It seems as though that time is now,

Heartbreaking, though it may be.

Regrettably, we have to use

The Elements of Harmony.

You’re kidding. You’re kidding, right?

You think my attacks you can stop
With those dull, boring ol' rocks?
I’m not even mad
As this is so sad.
You girls are too easy to mock!

Luna, do you really think that is safe?
We don’t know what those gems do!

I don’t see any other way.

I can’t stop him, neither can you!

Oh, this is priceless, this is just too good!
This is really your plan?
And here I thought you two understood
The powers that I command.

I’ll tell you what, since I’m such a sport,
And your list of options is so very short,
I’ll give you a free shot, just one, that is all.
And then down your whole world will fall.

Come join me Luna, we’ve only one shot.
To waste it, we cannot afford!
We’ll give him everything that we’ve got!

Please… forgive us, Discord.

Boiling Anger

Boiling Anger

And so begins another day
In our land of Equestria,
As I begin to set my moon
To make way for Celestia.

The ponies amble out of their homes,
Shaking off their dreams.
Preparing for the day ahead,
The joy with which it teems.

My sister and I, we rule this land
In perfect harmony.
Watching our belov’d subjects,
Content and happily.

The love and thanks we both receive
Is the greatest gift of all.
The joy and bliss that fill my heart
I return each nightfall.

The night is my greatest gift
To the ponies down below.
My art, a perfect masterpiece,
With love that I bestow.

But…. I have a feeling I cannot place,
Weighing down my thoughts.
But nothing’s wrong that I can see.
Is there something I forgot?

Something’s there, in the back of my mind,
Eating away at me.
When I raised the moon last night
What was it I didn’t see?

The night was normal, if I recall.
Same as each day before.
But now that I stop and give it thought,
No ponies were there to adore.

Yes, that’s it, that’s what is wrong.
There was nopony outside.
But why, oh why would that be so?
Why would they want to hide?

It’s not that they dislike my night.
Of this, I am sure.
But now I can’t help but recall
What Discord’s warnings were.

Could it be that they don’t care?
What was it that he said?
They only love Tia’s day
And waste my night in bed?

No! It’s false! It cannot be!
They surely love my night!
But then I go and look outside
And see that Discord is right.

Look at them, happy ponies laughing,
Playing through the day.
But when the moon begins to rise,
Is outside where they stay?

No, of course, it never is.
They all will run inside.
Shunning and hating my glorious night,
From my moon they hide.

Tia simply tells me I’m wrong,
She says it’s all in my head.
But when her sun is in the sky
Are the ponies all in bed?

She just doesn’t understand,
She never will, I bet.
Tia only sees the world
Before her sun has set.

She’s never had to deal with this.
She is, after all, the sun
The ponies will always love her
For everything she’s done.

And me, standing next to her,
They simply cannot see.
Look at all I’ve done for them
And they just ignore me.

I gave them the moon, the stars in the sky,
I protect them in their dreams.
And yet they fear me, detest and hate me,
A monster is all I seem.

I gave them my love, and what do they do?
Respond with hate and spite!
I’ll make them realize
The true glory of night!

When I’m through they won’t have time
For happiness and fun.
I’ll usher in a new regime.
Nopony will see the sun!

And now the sun begins to set
And they all run to bed.
If they won’t willingly enjoy my night,
I just have to make them instead!
