Two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. The eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn.
The younger brought out the moon to begin the night.
their subjects, the ponies, played in the day but shunned the night and slept through it, which made the younger unicorn grow bitter, eventually refusing to lower the moon to make way for the dawn.
Her bitterness transformed her into a Wicked mare of darkness
Night Mare Moon.
The elder sister reluctantly harnessed the power of the Elements of Harmony and banished her in the moon, taking responsibility for both sun and moon, maintaining harmony in Equestria.
However, during her time trapped in the moon, the younger sister managed to keep an element for herself.
This wasn’t an Element of Harmony.
This was the element that allowed the Elements of Harmony to exist.
The Element of friendship.
Love
Fif opened his saddlebag and began, once again, to read the note he had received. He had placed it in his own copy of “Old Pony Tales” as a bookmark. Some of the stories really caught his interest, which was hard to do when it came to books.
“Dear Fif,” the note began, “I am sending you to Ponyville to be taught by my prize pupil, Twilight Sparkle. You have much to learn about friendship, and I can’t think of any pony more capable of teaching you such lessons. I expect you to learn much about friendship form both her and her friends. Oh, and do try to make some friends while you’re there.
Sincerely- Princess Celestia.”
“Wowie Zee. I have to make friends? This is gonna be tough.” The young colt said as he closed the book, sitting back down in his seat. He then felt a surge of confidence and sticking his head out the window of the train, he pumped his hoof in the air and yelled as loud as he could.
“I won’t let you down Princess!”
He quickly brought his hoof back down as he felt his cap being lifted off of his head by the rushing wind. He pulled himself back in the train car and placed the book back inside of his bag, smiling a bit at his own silliness.
