Envy of the Moon

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Sun was in the spotlight, and Moon was merely in her shadow.

Sun got all the praise, and Moon was forgotten, again.

Moon couldn't take it. "Ponies ! Have fun during our night, Luna and I place great work into it !

Everypony laughed behind her back, but when she came out, everything was silent.

Moon became filled with anger : "Ponies, thou will love our night, or thou shall face our might !"

Sun was worried about Moon. Why was she jealous ? The reason ponies 'didn't like their night' was only because they were tired, and slept during it.

Moon wouldn't hear any of that. They hate us and our night. How dare they. They shall learn to love it then !

Moon did not set.

"Moon, what are you doing ? The day need to rise !"

"Sun, can't you see ? Ponies hate me and Luna. We decided that they'll learn to live under our watch from now on."

"Moon, please stop this ! Celestia will have to take extreme measure if you don't lower yourself !"

"I've made my decision, Sun."

Everything went according to plan. Luna forced them to come out, and Moon could finally watch them live under her.

"Moon, it's over. Celestia is going to use the Element of Harmony."

"She wouldn't dare !"

And just after finishing her sentence, she could feel the life draining out of her.

"NO ! N-no. P-please, I don't de-deserve this..."

"I'm sorry Moon, but you were too far gone..."

And just like that, the Moon stopped living, and became a mere chunk of rock in the sky, while Luna became a resident on

the corpse of her once dear friend.
