Luna keeps a journal while on the moon. Read through her journal entries and see the dark tales of her exclusion

How do you move on when all you have ever known is drowning in the eclipsing shadow of another? How can I ever trust the one I use to call sister again? I wanted to be equal, I wanted to be loved, I wanted to be heard! But how can I now being so far away? I never understood why I was excluded by all those around me. Why they always admired her so much. She is so cruel and condescending, at least towards me she always was. I am always getting cut off when I try to speak. She is like a tyrant sent to rule over my life. No more! This is my moon and I am its queen! I will be loved even if it’s by force. They should have loved me by choice when they had the chance. They are all to blame and when I come back that tyrant better be ready for a fight.

The beginning of madness

Day 10

Dear Diary,

I have never experienced this level of misery before. I am completely isolated from all of Equestria. Just as I was before. No one then and no one now. Oh Tia why? Why did it have to come to this? Why couldn’t you just listen? I miss you Tia.

Nightmare Moon left me and went to the somber side of the moon today. That creature tried to kill you. I shall never forgive it! Or was it I? Did I try to kill you?! I am so sorry Tia. I never wanted to harm you. I never wanted any of this to happen. There are so many emotions flowing through me right now. I want to sob but at the same time scream in anger. Why do I feel this way Tia? All I desired was your affection and to feel equality among us. Please Tia let me come home! Can’t we speak about this like adults? Would you even listen to me? Does your heart even ache from sending you only sister away? Tia let me come home! I do not wish to be trapped on the moon for 1000 years.  I wish to sort this out and make things right.

Luna

Day 20

Dear Diary,

I now understand why all of this happened. It’s my fault and I feel horrible about it all. I am sorry Tia for destroying our home, for hurting you, and for causing all of this. I let my anger get the better of me and allowed it to consume me. I am still disappointed that no pony loves me as they love you. I am a princess too and don’t deserve to be drowned in your eclipsing shadow. Nightmare Moon was able to subdue me because of the resentment I feel toward you Tia. I feel deceived. My mind became tainted as she took over. She played off of my emotions and added greed to the list of things I am feeling.

Tia I heard your lullabies and they are beautiful. I miss you as well but I am still very confused by all of this. I am still processing how I feel. Perhaps for once I can speak and you will listen. I still can’t understand why you would do this Tia. I am your sister!!! Does that mean nothing to you?!!! Now I am forced to sit alone, with no solace to be found! Why didn’t you help me Tia? Couldn’t you see I was suffering living in obscurity!!!! I NEEDED YOU TIA!!! I WAS and still AM SO DISTRESSED!  I JUST NEEDED YOU TO LISTEN TO ME!!!! JUST FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE!!!  Now who will listen to me Tia? The wind? I have been banished for 1000 Years!!!!  Now my emotions will be amplified and unstable!!! Nightmare Moon will return and restrain me, now there is no doubt about that. My emotions will intensify and she will constrain me before the end of my banishment. I want to forgive you Tia, but I cannot. You presented me no love. I was expected to sit in your shadow while you got praised for your sun. Everyone forgot about my moon. I was omitted as if I did not even exist. I wanted to rule in alignment Tia but, you seem to only want to contest the throne. So if it is war you desire, then so be it. When I return I will be fully consumed and it is all your fault Tia. You could have stopped this, but you choose not to. Tia, I don’t want to harm you, but I fear that being all alone with Nightmare Moon will let her persuade me. I wish you loved me enough to see you’re tormenting me.

Luna

Day 45

Dear Diary,

Equestria never loved me! It was always Tia this and Tia that. Always praising her sun as if it was the best thing to ever exist. But what about my beloved moon? Why were we shunned and called somber and cold. Those ungrateful ponies slept through my beautiful and glorious night. Oh Snowdrop how I miss you. I wish I could reverse time to us playing in the snow with the beautiful moon light. It’s made your snowflakes glow so magnificent. You were the only one who appreciated my night and its beauty. When you died my heart shattered into a million pieces. I knew that no one would ever share my love for night ever again. At least you don’t have to see me at my worst my friend. Now you rest in your eternal slumber as I wait for the day we will see each other again. I will never forget the friendship you showed me. You showed me the love I desired so desperately. You listened to every rant I had about Tia. You were like a baby sister to me and made me feel so important. My sweet Snowdrop I was there for you last days. It’s saddened me to see you in so much pain. I remember staying awake all night just to make sure you were still breathing. When the time finally came for you to take your final breath I kissed you on the forehead and told you I loved you so much. I was a mess after you passed. My anger and sadness grew Intel I snapped. Between Tia drowning me everlasting shadow and having no pony to console me, my emotions grew wild. I couldn’t handle the agony I was feeling any longer. I gave in and let Nightmare Moon place the greed in my heart that stranded me on the moon. We might be seeing each other sooner than I thought my precious Snowdrop. Let’s hope my banishment does not drive me to insane being so isolated.

Day 55

Dear Diary,

       Over the last 10 days my mind has been stuck on one thing. How everyone thinks Tia is so perfect. How she is never to blame or the reason why anything horrible happens. They will makes excuses for her all day long. “It’s not her fault. There was nothing she could have done to prevent this.” But if I do something wrong then every pony is like, “You should have been more responsible. You shouldn’t have done that and this wouldn’t have happened.” Tia is not perfect! Why are you ponies so blind to all her imperfections?! Why do you want a princess ruling over you who doesn’t even love her own sister? Do you think she actually cares about you? I doubt she does! She does everything for her own selfish glory!!!

Tia never invited to parties or social gatherings. I always sat alone in my room well her and all the other ponies had the most elegant parties. I was never her equal even from day one.  When snowdrop died she didn’t comforted me or asked what was wrong! All I wanted in that very moment was for Tia to hug me tight and tell me she was here for me! But no she’s too busy for even her own sister! I have been alone ever since snowdrop died and my exile is no different. A day here is the same as living in Tia awful shadow. How can you ever shine bright when another pony cast a shadow so dark that your light can't shine through? I miss being able to see Equestria in my beautiful moon light. The gorgeous dark purple sky's, the trees outlines in the moon light. The dark green grass soft and glimmering in the moons dim lighting. The quite peaceful sounds crickets chirping in the distance. I miss you beautiful night of mine. If only Tia wouldn't have banished me here. I love my moon and now we are one but living upon it is not as wonderful as getting to witness its magnificent glow from a far. Soon will return and Equestria will see a real ruler.
