A Normal Day

Moonflight, Sky Shadow, and Night Shadow flew around the the Cantorlot Castle, playing sky tag as well as making sure everything was fine. Moonflight suddenly dived down, as her mother Luna came out to call them in for dinner and to give her the report. Moonflight's sisters saw this and followed. They landed in a perfect line in font of their mother. "Every thing is calm and quiet..." started Moonflight  "No troubles, and all the guards are their posts." added Sky Shadow. "And playing sky tag was fun." Dark Night finished.  Her sisters looked at her with a a face that said really you didn't have to say that. " Thank you for that full report, time for dinner." Luna said trying not to giggle at her youngest daughter. As they walked to the dinning hall where there aunt Tia would be waiting with her daughter Sun Cloud, they talked about stories that Aunt Tia would tell. From the grand balcony to the dining hall was only a 5 minute walk with 2 turns, but to the sisters it felt to like years, because that couldn't wait to her stories from years back about the crystal empire, or the draconequus named Discord, or Luna's least favorite the few about Nightmare Moon. They finally made it to the dining hall where they had all token their seats Moonflight sitting next to Sun Cloud on her right and Sky Shadow on her left, followed by Dark Shadow, then Luna, and finally Aunt Tia. They all ate peacefully, until Sun Cloud asked "Mom, can you please tell us a story before Nightmare Moon?" Celestia thought, "Well sure." Everyone looked at Celestia, ready for when the story would start, even Luna was staring at her. Celestia started looking around, "This one is about Luna and my parents. Our mother was a beautiful alicorn, with a beautiful name Queen Galaxia and she was the ruler of the day as well as the galaxy, as weird as the sounds it was true she would take a few days a month to go and patrol the galaxy leaving me to raise and set the sun. Our father King Cosmos was a black stallion with the stars of the night all over his fur, his mane and tail were jet black, he was the the ruler of the night. Our parents loved us much and they would often take us on walks in the magical forest which was full of peace, which is now the Everfree Forest. One day on a walk our father looked at our mother and our mother took us and we hid us in a bush" Celestia looked like she was about to stat crying."Mother looked out the bush to see 2 draconequuses approaching father, just then he yelled 'Run! Get out of here!' Our mother picked us up and put us on her back and she ran. We had made it back to our castle where other alicorns were waiting to give our mother a report. 'Inside, everyone!' She called and they did as they were to-" Celestia had collapsed.

"Some time later"

"Well the ending of the story is that the alicorns of the world when into a war with the chaos bringers like Discord.Both races nearly went extinct, except for Luna, Discord, and I. We had been come good friends with Discord, until Discord's fall witch is another story." Celestia finished.

Prologue

Luna walked down a dark hall talking to herself. " How could I have done that? Why? Ponies where just starting to understand the night." Suddenly 3 fillies ran by, "Can't catch me!" yelled the 2 fillies in the front. Luna grinned seeing her 3 daughters always made her smile. "Moonflight. Sky Shadow. Dark Night. Please come here loves!" The fillies did as they were told. Moonflight being the only alicorn out of the sisters would be the princess of the night when Luna would retire. "Would you like to watch me raise the moon?" Luna asked. "YA!" the sisters replied in the same moment. They raced down the hall to the grand balcony, the largest one where Luna would raise and set the moon. Luna trotted after the fillies. Moonflight and her sisters had beaten their mother to the balcony, where they saw Aunt Tia, waiting for Luna. "Well hello, little ones." They were very little compared to their Aunt Tia and her daughter Sun Cloud who was complaining "When is Aunt Luna coming?!" Just then Luna entered the balcony where a small crowd of ponies watched. "About time!" Mumbled Sun Cloud. Luna just looked at her then Tia. " Dear sister, please teach your daughter some manners to her elders" Luna said even though she wanted to laugh acting as if she was writing a letter to her sister just like Tia's best student Twilight Sparkle, who would becoming over for diner in a few days. Moonflight watched in awe as her mom raised the moon and her aunt lowering the sun. Sun Cloud could be rude at times but, must of the time she was kind. Sun Cloud seeing that Moonflight couldn't see well she used a spell she had learned, to levitate Moonflight then rest on on her back. After watching the amazing feat Sun Cloud took Moonflight, Sky Shadow, and Dark Night to their royal chamber, even though Sun Cloud was 5 years older then the 3 sisters she would rather spend her nights with them then by herself.
