The heavy chains forced me to the ground, tightly stuffing the metal of each ring inside my body. I was in so much pain, any movement and it would go deeper.

I knew that it was going to get worse, just wait for the hunger, thirst and infections in my wounds began to kick in.

I watched Equestria continue to orbit the Sun. I watched how the moon tried to orbit Equestria, how eager it was for Equestria to love it... And yet it continued to adore sister's sun. My eyes began to sting with pain. Bitter, sour pain. I couldn't cry, even so. My tears froze as they fell, and once they hit the ground, they were as hard as a crystal.

The chain pulled my hooves down, making sure I couldn't walk or retreat into a more comfortable position, another around my neck, making sure I couldn't scream nor lay my head on the cold rock. One around my back too, to stop me from flight. The last lay tightly on my snout, making sure there was no possible way I could even yell, cry or yawn. My teeth ached, all I wanted was love... I continued to cry the crystallised tears, my eyes following them as they dropped and hit the ground. That clink sound made my ears twitch, and I tried to smile, that was the way you fight fear.

I attempted to use a spell to turn me smaller than moon dust, but the enchanted chains clung tighter even, so I stayed like so, not moving.

You know what's was funny?

I didn't regret a thing

Celestia stared, wide eyed, at the spot her sister had once stood.

"When will this madness end? What is the reason for the jealousy, the sorrow?" The princess repeated to herself, turning and looking at the three statues of four beautiful and regal alicorns that decorated the door.

She was on the left, her sister on the right, Cadence on the lower left, Twilight on the lower right. All Celestia wanted was to destroy the statues... She couldn't face Equestria again... She couldn't say I'm sorry, Equestria, Princess Luna went mad again, hence sent to the moon! Go about your daily business!, ponies would start to think she was causing it,  go against her.

She would have to repeat what she had done last time. She, trembling, walked to the balcony. With a soft apology to Luna, her horn illuminated with lilac, and slowly, the pages that held Luna evaporated, the statue as well, and the memory of the Lunar Princess was erased from all their minds.

When it was done, Celestia did something she never did, something so terrible... She used it on herself, so she would stop living the tragedy over and over again.
