Citizens Of The Eternal Night: The Princess (Nightmare Moon's POV)

I did it. I, Princess Nightmare Moon, formerly known as Princess Luna, has imprisoned Celestia and is now the supreme ruler of Equestria and soon all of Equis.

I guess I should introduce myself. I am the Princess Of Equestria, Nightmare Moon, Queen of the Night, daughter of Queen Lauren Faust and King Artemis, aunt of The Crystal Princess, Mi Amore Cadenza, and all of Equestria bows to me. Those who don't? Well...they won't live and their death will be slow and painful.

Guess it all started centuries into my sis-Celestia and I's rule. I was once known as Princess Luna and in the shadow of Celestia. Ponies just rejected my night and relished in my sister's day. I couldn't take it anymore and then Nightmare Moon was born from Luna's hate. I nearly defeated that foal Celestia, but she used The Elements Of Harmony and sealed me into the moon. One-thousand damn long years I was on my Moon. It was like a sick joke.

Then the stars aided in my escape. When I came back Celestia was there waiting for me and ready to fight and try to bring back her precious sister. But she didn't have the Elements, the objects that sealed me in the moon. After a huge battle I gave her exactly what she deserved. The same hell I went through for a thousand years.

Turns out the Elements had turned to stone and magic disappeared completely after I was banished, as we both betrayed our Elements by battling each other. So Celestia couldn't use them again.

The Royal Guard turned into The Nightmare Guard and they had to serve and be loyal to me. Captain of the Guard, Shining Armor, and eventually my nephew-in-law had to be threatened to serve me same with my royal niece. In my absence from Equestria another alicorn came into the picture, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. She was a relative of my old friend, Princess Amore. That reminds me; I wonder how the team of guards I sent to retrieve the shattered pieces of Princess Amore are doing?

Anyways, I kept Cadenza alive. Why? Because she was their Princess Of Equestria and second in command She could convince the population of Equestria to adjust to my rule. I sent her then just coltfriend, Captain Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore to travel Equestria and give speeches about my rule. It worked and the ponies of Equestria became my faithful subjects.

I had another family member. My parents adopted a unicorn colt who was left for dead on the streets. Apparently my distant nephew, Prince Blueblood was a descendant of my brother. Prince Blueblood served no use to me and he was a pompous snob and I wanted him gone. And so he was gone.

I took over and fear trumps everything really. Of course I knew Equestrians were not too keen with their new ruler. Many rebellions happened; the first was Solar Fighters led by none other than the personal protégé of Celestia, Moondancer.

Really? Honestly they thought they could defeat me!? I was the one who defeated Celestia! How could they honestly think they could defeat me!? Tsk...I defeated them of course and I approved the sentence of the death penalty.

To control Equestrians I ordered that everypony will be attendance of the public execution even foals. They were burnt at the stake I don't know what happened to their bodies, nopony touched them. I'm guessing animals took the bodies and feasted on them.

Many foolish ponies still rebelled and they were quickly defeated and given the death penalty. There hasn't been a rebellion in six years, so I guess ponies just gave up and accepted I am their Princess now.

I found out Celestia had another student before Moondancer, but she rebelled and went through a magic mirror to another world. I didn't want a rebel and destroyed the mirror.

I protect them and I have kept them from any danger. Celestia has had her subjects in danger multiple times! I have never gotten my subjects in the way of danger. I shattered the statue that was once Discord. Why did I technically kill him? I knew Celestia and I weren't connected to the Elements and so he could take over Equestria again. I defeated Queen Chrysalis before she could attempt to take over Canterlot. Her attempts at impersonating my Royal Niece were pathetic. I defeated King Sombra. And I imprisoned Lord Tirek again before he could grow strong. Ponies worried about their crops and I had a hoof in creating the spell on seeds for them to grow in the night.

Out of nowhere a few months ago an alicorn who looks almost exactly like the head of my science and magic division with a dragon came into my castle. The alicorn escaped and there went my chance of time travel. She said she was from another world. Even though she looked like Twilight Sparkle it wasn't her. I did magic examination on the alicorn without her knowing and it wasn't my Twilight Sparkle.

Was the alicorn from an alternate reality? She said in her world her and her friends defeated me. I can't risk it. Twilight Sparkle may be a threat to me. So I'm planning her death. I'll just make her death a hanging, so it looks like a suicide.

But I can't have Twilight Sparkle die, at least not now. She is a big part in my desire of time travel. The most brilliant minds in Equestria have made portals to the future which is a path in the right direction.

I traveled through the portals myself and Equestria was under my rule still, and there was peace and ponies still bowed to me. Everywhere else? War, corruption, misery, pollution, and many more undesirable problems ran wild. I came to a conclusion I need to take over all of Equis. The chaos might reach my country and I can't risk it.

I met Trixie Lulamoon, the perfect puppet. She has grown to be a famous magician adored by all. Ponies are obsessed with celebrities and Trixie is one of the biggest of them all. Trixie will do anything I say and so her fans will follow and listen to her. She isn't a very skilled magic user at all, but I just made her my apprentice to use her popularity to my advantage.

It worked and today is the seventh Summer Moon Celebration and ponies all over Equestria are celebrating my victory over Celestia.

However, I am still worried about my sister returning. The stars will aid in Celestia's escape like my own escape. But that's a thousand years from now and by then she won't stand a chance. I won't imprison Celestia again. I just wanted Celestia to go through the same hell I went through. When she comes back I’ll kill Celestia with my own hooves.

Things are getting a little lonely…NO! IT’S NOT! Sorry that's the pathetic foal Luna. Don't listen to her! A little bit of her comes out every now and then. Though I would like an heir if anything were to happen to me. Perhaps I shall have a child in the future and my child be perfect.

I have everything now I could ever want. Nopony will get in my way the night has lasted for seven years and it will last forever!
