Small rays of light wrestled their way through Celestia's tightly woven curtains.The curtains had not been open for weeks,and dust had had settled on her books and scrolls.When the green cloud emits in her room delivering a scroll,she simply lets it plop onto the carpets.The scrolls were filled with dread and panic from Twilight and her friends.Celestia had not even glanced at her ink.Luna was left in charge of her sister's work.It was quite challenging and luna had to hustle to get things done on the time Celestia did,she hadn't had any practice with a kingdom at all.Celestia was always very coordinated with time and would always have time shaved off from her work at the end,Luna had to stay up hours tussling with parchment and feathers.
Months had gone by and Celestia was still in her trance-lile state undisturbed by nobody except the chef that delivers food for her.Luna,still on a drought of sleep was awoken from her short naps,her face buried in inky documents.the sound of marching and the rattling of thick metal rung in her ears,almost like Infantry on patrol.This was quite odd as Equestria had not been attacked by any kind of outsider for decades.Almost all opposing forces had laid down their arms in favor of peace.As she wondered what the army was up to,she felt a liquid running down her snout.She rubbed her hoof against her nose.Blood.She was bleeding rapidly from her left nostril.She snorted and made her way to the clinic down the block.
"Hmm,i think you may have allergies to the ink or you bumped your nose on something,i can't see any other reason you might be bleeding.Your in good shape and are very healthy otherwise."
"I have had exercise working my sisters job,"muttered Luna,she was drowsy and was tipping from side to side.
"You need sleep urgently,though.Its unhealthy to got without sleep for as long as you have."
She nodded her head and sluggishly paced her way home.She need someone to work some documents for her,maybe some scribes.As soon as she got home she collapsed into her mattress and went limp.The sound of marching echoed into her den and she was forced to get up and close her window.She yawned and squinted up towards a cabinet,it swung open and she lifted out a canteen and a small glass.She popped the canteen and poured a golden liquor into the glass and raised to her mouth
.Princesses don't partake in the consumption of alcohol,Luna,it makes us irrational.
She dropped the glass gasped,searching for the voice she just heard."Sister,tis you?"
No reply.Her nose began to bleed.Luna felt a urge to visit her sister,she jogged outside and marched her way up the winding stairs to Celestia's room.The door was open and she was there,staring at luna.He face blank and she looked like she was still in a trance.
"Luna,i need you to do something."
"Yes sister,what is it?"
"I need you kill me."
Luna was in shock of what she just heard.She bit her lip nervously.
"I've done something terrible and i'm going to be held responsible,and i need you to kill me."
"Sister don't talk like that,whatever you've done it mustn't of been that bad..."
A scroll was lifted over to luna and she grabbed it,she unravelled the parchment and began to read.Her eyes began to water up and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"A suicide note?"
"I can't do it myself,if you kill me they will never know it was you."
Luna shook her head in denial,she began to step out.I need to get somebody to watch her or she is going to hurt herself.She turned around and began to trot to the plaza to get a guard when she heard something.Luna began to choke and her nose began to bleed more,she coughed down at the floor and trembled in pain.She coughed up a splatter of blood.Luna darted around her knees giving out and she squinted through the room to see celestia and spear jutting out from her side.
"'Tia,why?Please don't die,whats going on!?I have so many questions.!"
The sound off hooves approaching from the cobble stairs alerted Luna and she swung her head around and and sighed and started running for them.They stood stiff in a aggressive pose.Still dazed and confused,she backed up then a dreadful thought hit her like a train.They think i killed her...She panicked a wailed as she was dragged out by the royal guards,people surrounding the terrible sight.They talked and mummered in a constant hum,she could pick out words,lunatic,crazy,mad...
The night flew by and Luna was still being transported to a location unknown to her.
"Ray,she is headed for 12th Bluecoat Regiment correct,"Spoke a deep voice to her left.
"Yeah,she must be pretty fucked in the head to end up with the big boys,i mean,those guys are head of Celestia's guard.Big muthas too."
Drenching in her own tears,luna looked up to the men.
"Do you really think its correct to speak with such vulgar launguage around royalty?"
"Bitch,you aren't even close to royalty now,you just a street urchin and you'll be begging to see canterlot from your little box your gonna be shackled up in."
She sobbed as they dragged her the rest of the way.It was early and lights in the houses were still off except for a few small ones scattered in the distance.It would be calming if she wasn't being gripped by two pegasi grunts.She came to a sudden stop and a train was docked at the old Canterlot railway,she didn't even know it was operational.The train seemed odd,it had a large symbol and a group of letters and digits.CSOT1.A door slid open from the side and Luna felt herself tossed through the air,her clunked of the wood interior of the train and her vision faded to black.
