Luna is dying. Only a particular type of magic can save her. That magic, however, is on the moon. Great. Just great.

Luna has come down with the only illness that affects alicorns - cancer. Alicorn cancer affects the unicorn magic, pegasus flying ability and earth pony strength of the alicorn. If left untreated, it will kill them, exuciatingly painfully.

There is a cure. That cure is on the moon.

prologue - alicorn cancer

Only having time to give the cure to Celestia before he died, he told her to take her sister and travel far away, away from the sickness, to stay alive. Luna was heart broken when they went, feeling it was her fault, that they had to go.
