Chapter 7

Dated five hundred, ten years after the incident.

SISTER I HAVE JOYISH NEWS! You're going to be free. Well not at this very moment. In a little less than five hundred years from now. It was not easy and I had to do some stuff I was not proud But I would rather not get into that.

Just think it will be great. I can interduce you to all the new ponies. You can take your duty raising the moon back. we will be a happy family again. I'm so excited.

...That's what I tell myself, but the truth of the matter is I know it won't be all sunshine and daffodils when you get back. only a fool would believe that. maybe when you come back you will kill me. Maybe you will cast the land into darkness. Or maybe to be ironic you will banish me to the sun heh. maybe you will even decide to forgive me...one can wish.

Well, if you do chose the others it won't be like I can stop you. I no longer have the elements.

It's late sister I must raise the moon.

Sincerely Tia

Chapter 8

Seven hundred years before.

Have you ever done something so bad, like as you are doing it. You know deep down it is wrong, but you also have no choice but to do it.
Then years after that thing eat's away at you.

Hehe nevermind. So how have you been? Yes, I know stupid question, but I do wonder how you are doing. Alone on the moon. Without the company of another pony. Have you gone mad? Or has your hatred of me kept you sane?

Well enough about that. It has been awhile since my last letter. Not much has happened in the last nearly two hundred years. Just sun and moon rising, and other princess duties. Between you and me I really hate the royal Canterlot voice. I may stop doing it.

I guess that's all I have for now, and I guess we will see each other again in three hundred years.

Sincerely Tia

Chapter 1

Dated one year after incident.

Hello sister it’s me Tia. I realize that you will not receive these letters.
So I guess they are more for me…
Sigh. So what has it been, a year, since I last saw you? Since it, sigh since I banished you. Well anyway lots of stuff has happened since you have been gone.

Hmm where to begin?

Oh I know! I learned how to raise the moon. Hehe you made it look so easy. I guess the more I do it the easier it will get for me.
The ponies keep asking where you are. So far I have only told them lies. Like you’re sick or you’re off in a faraway kingdom doing important princess stuff. Truthfully I don’t know if I don’t tell the truth because I regret what I did or I don’t want them to think ill of you. I guess one day they will find out and I will have to face the music.
Speaking of music I took up the violin….Yeah I sound like a dying cat…Ok fine a dying cat would sound better. Hehe oh well practice makes perfect as they say.

I found your star books. They were very dusty. You should have seen the guards come running into my chambers after I sneezed up a storm. It made me giggle little. I told them I was ok and to go back to their post. If you ask me I think the guards are wound up a little too tight.
Anyway since I now have your star books I can put the stars in the right place. Before I was just doing it randomly. In fact I think I made a three-headed, six-winged, seven-legged hippo last night. I named it Fluffy.
Ok sister I mean you no offence but your writing is horrible and these books are covered in food. No worries though a simple cleaning spell and reading spell will fix them right up….Yeah I was wrong. How did this not drive you mad? All these patterns and places. It took me all night to make Cancer. I have no idea how you did it.
I was awoken by a siren this morning I guess they thought I was dead since I was about four hours late raising the sun. I really need to figure out a good sleep schedule.

Well that’s it for now I will write more when I can.
Sincerely Tia

Chapter 2

Dated ten years after incident.

Hey sis not much has happened since last I wrote. Well nothing interesting at least. I did go to the griffin kingdom for diplomatic reasons. I spent ten days there. How did it go? Well between you and me I was bored to death. I never did like politics. All that talking and nodding. Anyway all in all it went well. Well besides me falling asleep and snoring during one of the talks.
I think you will be happy to know that the ponies made a new holiday and dedicated it to you. They call it Nightmare Night. At least I hope this makes you happy.

Sadly for the violin I decided it was not for me. Maybe I should try the flute.
Oh good news I can now do ten star patterns a night. Yes I know it’s not that great but I’m making progress. I sometimes even put fluffy up there. Yes I know that I shouldn’t but it’s just too priceless seeing the ponies reactions.
I tried using the elements to free you. It did not work. In fact they don’t work for me at all anymore. I guess I am no longer worthy of them. Truthfully I do understand I mean I could not even save you. I tried giving them back to the tree. It would not take them. So I guess for now I will keep them at the old castle.

Yes I did say old castle. I had a new one built in Canterlot. The old one had too many painful memories and the ones that were happy started to turn painful. I still visit from time to time.

Well I am sorry to leave on a sad note but I must go. Today is the summer sun celebration.
Sincerely Tia

Chapter 3

Dated eighty years after incident.

Dear sister I am saddened to say that the subject of this letter will not be a cheerful one.

Today I went to the funeral of one of our dear friends princess Platinum. She died of old age. The ponies thought I was so brave not shedding a tear. Thinking I was doing it to show respect for a dear friend.

Truth is…Well the truth is I wish that was true. Ponies think I am immortal. Although this is not true I will probably outlive my subjects a hundred times over. So over the years I have become numb to the death of the ones around me. I do not do this because I don’t care…

heh I bet you would have cried your eyes out. You were always more caring than I was. I am sorry that this letter is short but I must go dear sister

Sincerely Tia

Chapter 4

Dated two hundred fifty years after incident.

After many years dear sister I finally perfected the art of star arranging I have to say I do feel good about myself. Is this how you felt every time you made the night sky?

Even though I now find joy in arranging the stars I slowly begin to realize why you did it. So many hours and love go into making the night. Only to be unseen by the ones you make it for. Since I have realized the reason you did it. Do I condone it? Truthfully I do not know. What you did was wrong even if you had a valid reason. The question I ask myself is. If I had taken the night and you the day would that have made a difference? I guess I will never know

Sincerely Tia

Chapter 5

Dated four hundred thirty years after the incident.

Scorpan came by today. We had a nice cup of tea and talked about you. He is the only pony I have told. I figured he would understand considering his brother is locked up in Tartarus. He told me it will be ok. I knew he was trying to comfort me, but it wasn't working. Tirek was evil just for the sake of power. You turned evil because you felt unloved and more often than not I feel as if though this was my fault. Or at least partly. Of, course I did not tell Scorpan this I just smiled and said thank you.

Came night time Scorpan said his farewells and left. I myself still had a bunch to do. Like organizing the library, dusting the castle. I know what you are going to say.

"but Tia don't you have servants for that"?

Well yes, I do but I decided to give them the day off. They deserved it, plus there are some things I need to do that no pony can be witnessed to. I just hope I will not regret it.

Oh, I'm out of ink till next time dear sister.

Sincerely Tia

Chapter 6

Dated Five hundred years after the incident.

It had been awhile so I went on a trip today to make sure all the villains of our past were still locked up. First I visited the crystal empire...Well where it be if it still existed. I feel sorry for them I hope one day it comes back. Well anyway, I confirmed Sombra was still on ice.

Next I went to Tartarus To check on Tirek. We talked a little bit. Well, he mostly yelled for me to let him out. I declined.

Lastly, I checked on Discord I don't really remember why we put him in the garden and not in some deep dark dungeon. I guess we figured he was not getting freed anytime soon. Anyway, he was still stoned.

On my way home I checked to make sure there were no other villains I had to worry about. I ran into a small changeling nest. I left it alone I doubt it will be a threat.

Hehe, it's funny After visiting all our old villains I have come to realise something. Your must powerful enemy is not the one wants power. Or the one who wants to see the world end. No, your must powerful enemy is the one you create. Because out of all the thousands of voices in your head screaming. One will ask what could I have done differently. Then when the times comes to defeat them you will ask your self...can I?
