The Royal Family

Once upon a time, when Equestria was new, there lived a King and a Queen.

They raised the sun each day, and each night replaced it with the moon.

The ponies they rules over were healthy and happy.

They loved their King and Queen, and they loved them in return.

The two rulers had two beautiful foals.

One with the beauty of the day, and one with the beauty of the night.

They laughed and played all day, and they too were loved by all.

But on one rainy night, a spirit appeared, and killed the Queen during her sleep.

Since then, the once kind King was no more, and in his place, a tyrant was born.

Ponies were hungry, and died by the hundreds.

But the Tyrant was heartless, and did nothing to save them.

The two daughters, saddened by his change of heart, tried to reason with him, but to no avail

Angry, the Tyrant banished them deep down in a dark forest, hoping that they would get eaten.

One hundred years passed, and most of pony kind had died, merely a hundred survived.

But one one sunny day, the two daughters, having grown into beautiful mares, faced their father.

A battle took place, and the two alicorns came out victorious.

Bringing harmony back to land, pony kind was saved, and in time, was back to it's glory.

Everypony was happy, and they lived happily ever after.

The End.

The Filly of the Rain

The Filly of the Rain was born in the rain. He was raised in it.

The Filly of the Rain never had any friends. Except the rain, always here for him.

The Filly of the Rain tried to make others happy. But wherever he went, rain followed.

The Filly of the Rain never cried. The rain that fell from the skies, always covered his eyes.

The Filly of the Rain met a young princess. With a dark shade and a blue mane.

The Filly of the Rain loved her night. And the Princess of the Night loved his rain.

The Filly of the Rain showed her his sadness. And the Princess of the Night explained why the rain followed him.

The Filly of the Rain was saddened by this. But the Princess of the Night told him it's a burden every alicorn must live with.

The Filly of the Rain felt anger for the first time. Thunder roared, and lightning fell from the sky.

The Filly of the Rain threw his wrath on a nearby village. Cries of pain flowed in the air.

The Filly of the Rain was unstoppable. The cry from a lunar pony made him stop.

The Filly of the Rain was filled with grief, for the many families he killed.

The only way that he could stop, was to fly way up above.

Directly in the sun he went, his tears evaporating with the heat.

Since then, rain was tame, but when it did fell, his tears would have been shed.

Envy of the Moon

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.

Doubtful thoughts

As I sit on my throne, I can only wonder,

Which is best ? Harmony ? Or Chaos ?

Are both great in there own ways ?

Or is mine the one to follow ?

Such thoughts raced through my head day and night.

During my reign, I've learned so much, yet...

Why do I feel like I'm missing something ?

An other day on the throne today.

As I watch my work from a window,

I can only wonder :

Why should I protect this belief ?

Why not go back to how it was a few years ago ?

Today's the day.

My special day. I'm giving away the throne

To someone who can unmake my work.

Someone who is the opposite of me.

Someone who...

Can think differently.

The Princess and the Spirit

One day, a princess sitting in her garden

Saw on a spirit flying by.

He was smiling cheerfully at her

But having him gone she would prefer

.

"Hello princess, I was wondering

If by any chance I could live in this land

With all your smilling ponies

Without having them to cower before me."

The princess replied

"Be gone, monster !

Let us live in peace and go back to where you once came."

The spirit, sadden, left without a word.

The day after, the spirit flew by

"Hello princess, could you please reconsider

I am all alone living in a dark place

With no friend and company.

I may be ugly

But that's not the real me."

The princess was disgusted

"Foul beast, you don't deserve to live here

Use your wings to dissapear.

Having you around makes me sick

As I know you're a liar, and this is just a trick."

The spirit, angry, left without a word.

The day after, the spirit flew by

"Princess I'm going to ask one last time

Accept me as a friend, I won't accept this crime !

Let me live in your kingdom, I beg of you

Please think this though !"

The princess was really mad

"That's it ! I've had enough !

You really think you're so tough ?

I'll protect my ponies from you

If that's the last thing I do !"

The spirit, his last tread of hope gone, left without a word

The day after, Equestria became a blur.

"You were right princess

Being a monster is so much fun !

I can put a buffalo in a dress

And turn a pegasus into a nun.

I love this new me !

This is all to majestic

I can do anything, take a pick.

But now that I control all

You must feel so small.

My vengence will be sweet

So please, take a seat !

My feelings of loneliness are gone

Now that I've won."
