I stared at the elderly mare with disbelief. "But... I am a princess." She responded "that is right! That's why we gave you the best room to live in."

"How may I leave?"

"Two weeks time the princess will send for you."

"Why am I here?"

"Curiosity killed the cat....or in this case the pony!"

After that I was silent. I didn't want something dreadful to happen to me. I wasn't fed much. Just enough to keep me alive. What have I done to deserve this? I raise the moon as usual so that cannot be the reason. But then what could. I pondered this. For days. I've tried to count them but after time lost track. Soon Celestia called for me. One thing was for sure. This was longer than a week.

I walk through nothing. Or At least it looks like nothing. I know I am not the only one here. I dash. Through the blank page. Every step seeming to get me no where. Until i see IT. IT is a purple/black mare. She has armor and a face that laughed evilly when it saw me. All I can do is stare at the devilish pony.

"Hello, Luna. I am Nightmare Moon."she cackled.

"Who are you and how are you here?"

"I am you."

I watch this mare in disbelief.

"Liar!"I cry as I dash at her my horn raised.

"Good. Feel your hatred and disbelief."

"I am not you!"

I dash at her again only for me to miss.

"How do I keep missing?"

"I am you remember."

"How can I destroy you?"

"There is no destroying me."

"Then....Then how can I make you disappear?"

A smile went across the devil's face.

"Like this."

As Nightmare Moon dashed at me I thought she would miss. But she didn't. The mare dashed into me. Into my soul. Into my heart. I could do nothing to stop it.

My heart skipped several beats when I was called to talk to my sister. She had always came to me but now she had ordered a guard to do it for her. I entered the room cautiously. My sister had her back to me. I called to her. She didn't seem to notice me. I took one step toward when she loudly whispered "I'm sorry to say this Luna." Then I realized she had her back to me because she was crying. I dashed to her only for her to scream at me halt and stop. I did not listen but continued to dash all the way to her side. I screeched when guards came to pull me out of the room. I was secretly brought to a abandoned part of canterlot. Several guards didn't say a thing to me except orders. To There Own Princess! There was an elderly pony dressed in red stained black that escorted me into a factory. "Welcome to your knew home princess." She cackled.

Everyone insisted I bowed. Me. I wasn't used to it. I hated it. Crawling on ones knees should resemble loyalty. I was givin a golden challace.

"Drink this," princess Celestia says not looking me in the eye.

"Why?" I asked.

"So you won't have to suffer," she said.

"What will it do," I cautiously asked.

I could see in her eyes she didn't want me to ask that.

"Make you jealous."

"If I don't drink it?"

"You will drink it."

I stared into her eyes but after seconds she turned away.

"The greater powers told me to."

Very few have known about the greater powers. They are a group of forces that surround a pony telling them to do this.

"How long have they been talking to you."I choked out the words.

"Ever since I was small."

This enraged me how could they have talked to Celestia all this time but never spoke to me once.

"I know you don't want me to drink this."

"Of course I do."

"Then why we're you crying when you sent me away!"

"Those tears weren't for you."

"Then who were they for!?"

"Mother."

I was silent. Our mother was a kind mare who taken by the great forces. All must obey the forces. Then i felt irate. How dare she mention our mother.

"Why would you cry about mum when you were closer dad!"

"She didn't only love you."

At this point my eyes had made streams down my face. Celestia had a connection to mom I nev did. But.... Me and mom were closer. I mean that's what I always thought. If mum wanted me to become jealous of my sister then.... then...

I grabbed the challace and drank the clear liquid inside. Drinking what I found out Celestia's tears. I felt a surge coming through my hooves, up my neck, when reaching my eyes.... Blackout.
