A long time ago, there were still family problems, even among the most powerful of all ponies, and they were extraordinarily similar as to what other ponies would think. Back then, the equestrian history book tells of a tragic royal family dilemma of power in between two sisters. A big reason far beyond power was recognition among one of the sisters of alicorn blood. Her name is Luna, for that she lives eternally as her sister, Celestia, also does. At night, all of the little ponies would sleep, and during the day all would play. Although, that wasn’t the real problem, the big reason that Princess Luna became enraged about her people was that most ponies became ignorant of her existence. This problem would last until that unfaithful day at the ancient castle that still stands.

There was a usual routine that the Royal Princess had to do every night, and that was to bring it above the skies. When she did, she would speak with her older sister almost all the time before she went to sleep. On that night, she would arrive with a different attitude that separates family, and introduces distrust. Normally, she would arrive as delicate as a feather landing on the floor, but she would hit the floor not only to startle her sister, but to bring nightmares to the little foals all around Canterlot. At a house of the resident in town, a little foal ran to his mother mare for comfort, while Celestia at the castle would just stare and the compromised sister. None would speak until Celestia sighed, and thought that this problem would be solved as easily as the other problems she had with her sister during all millennia. Today a thousand years back, this problem would last as long as the old books would live. And then one of them spoke.

-"What troubles your mind, my dear sister... Is there something that thy desires to share?" Celestia asked with her usual posture.

-"Now is not the moment for you foolish words, for we are displeasure for thy subject WHO ARE AWAKEN DURING MY SLUMBER," Luna responds giving a grim look at her already fatigued sister.

-"There no utile reason for using thy traditional tone upon your older sister. Again, what seems to be the problem?" Celestia demamded still with the same expression of royal posture.

-"Was it not clear? Thy subjects have forsaken me," She responded with a teary eye.

-"Forsaken, my dear sister?" Celestia told confused, only showing a raised eyebrow.

-"THY KNOWS WHAT I TRY TO ACCOUNT FOR!" She spoke irritated. She walks slowly towards her sister shedding a tear, trying to hold them. She was only a yard from eye contact distance, until she spoke again. "THOU IS GREEDY WITH HEED, YOU NEVER EXHIBIT ANY KIND OF RECOGNITION TO THY SISTER!"
Celestia looked at her sister with understanding eyes, for she understood the envy that Luna felt. "Sister, please calm down, you do not need provoke this big of a racket."
“HATH THOU JUST TOLD THAT OUR DIFFICULTIES ARE NOT WORTH SHOUTING ABOUT?!” Luna’s eyes glowed like 2 stars in a moonless night. She positioned her body as she was superior than her older sibling.

Celestia’s eyes started to glow, and long beautiful mane began to scorch. Celestia’s anger began to change her appearance into a firemare, and as she was transforming, she shook the ground in a God like voice, “QUITE YOURSELF! AND ALLOW ME TO SPEAK, FOR I CAN SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS BUT THY IGNORANCE IS INPEADING ME FROM DOING SO!!!!!”

Luna amazed by her sister’s wrath, stood down, and allowed her to speak her mind. Luna still not convinced spoke in a low tone voice, “Pleasing Sister, speak immediately for I’m growing impatient with each second that goes by.”

Celestia then began to power herself down, and shape shift herself back to normal. Celestia then walked over to her impatient, who was looking at the ground trying to prevent eye contact. “Luna, I can offer thou a recognition celebration honoring thy name, an entire day honoring thou for thy hard labor. What do you think of this action?” Celestia forced a smile into her face trying to assure her that could work, “Luna, please let your sister know what thought you might have.”

Luna finally decided to give her sister the eye contact she demanded, and responded with an aggressive voice, “Thou shall never understand my agony, thou shall never bargain the reasons of my resentment.” Luna looked at Celestia one last time with teary eyes, and started to walk away in disappointment.

“ I do not comprehend you sister." Princess Celestia whispered to herself in her thrown room. She rarely felt this way, because she would almost always have a solution to these types of situations. She then decided to take her rest.
