Celestia was in the middle of reading Twilight's letter to her when she recalled Able Octave the earth pony, and his twin sister Rest Cleft. The latter was usually very quiet most of the time keeping to herself while learning history. It had been many many years since she remembered meeting those two who both impacted her past greatly. Both changed history for their part of the three main pony types throught most of their lives.

They had originally come to their older castle to argue the topic of Earth Ponies having many more talents than those dealing with the agricultural areas of Equestria. Celestia recalled how physically nervous Rest Cleft looked when they first entered the issue of arguing over that very serious discussion. Despite the mare's quiet demeanor she was always able to make valid points it was the first time Celestia had seen an earth pony politician.

Rest Cleft decsribed the many times before that generation where earth ponies had also helped with architecture that still stood to this very day. Able Octave would always support his sister no matter what topics she had brought up in the discussion. That stallion was trully remarkable musician that had an innate rhythm that he could apply to other places as well.

Regardless if the discussion he always was able to predict when tempers would flare from the Unicorns who lived in Cantorlot at the time period. Able Octave also had a very unique style when playing the violin which proved quite difficult in precision without the aid of magic. Celestia recalled the lessons that Able Octave would give to many young ponies even when they were unintentionally ruds.

If they were ever curious on how an earth pony was able to play an instrument then he would not be offended in the slightest. He understood their youthful curiosity that most children had even taking pride in teaching them. It always amazed her that stallion was extraordinarily patient no matter how much prejudice he had to deal with. Along with the time he would spend on each of his musical compositions that he would proudly play to many different creatures.

Able Octave truly loved to put the most effort in what he did enjoying every moment no matter what set backs happened.. Rest Cleft was also quite unique in behavior despite the fact she was often mistaken for her brother. They usually wore their formal attire which covered both their cutie marks a fashion choice that both decided.

They had light brown coats, with jagged manes that had many pointed ends especially with their tails which was dark red. The only trait different between the two twins being their eye colors which just went unnoticed most of the time. Able Octave had light blue eyes, while his sister Rest Cleft had dark blue eyes ponies tended not to look at their eyes very often. She remembered that in the beginning most would not show an ounce of respect thinking that they belonged in a field rather than a concert hall.

Celestia remembered that Rest Cleft was a talented conductor who knew a great amount of Equestrian history that dated thousands of years back. It always 'brightened her day', a joke often used by Able Octave who had a slight sense of humor. When they would perform for many of the young fillies they informed it made both of them smile breaking their usually calm demeanor.

After a few years Able Octave even had a little filly, with another earth pony as his wife her name was Algebraic Beat having a calculator for a cutiemark. When his wife gave birth to a little unicorn she grew worried that Able Octave may have thought she cheated on him. The only thing that shocked her out of confusion is when she broke the news to Able Octave a nerve wracking for Algebraic.

After this he informed her that his sister had a pegasus son with a earth pony husband saying that her husband was pretty surprsied. He explained although rare every once in a while a unicorn, or pegasi would be born into the Lystor family. The solar princess had actually laughed at the story when Able Octave first told her about the event.

Celestia recalled both Musical Gale, Rest Cleft's pegasus son, and Elizabeth Victoria Lystor, Able Octave's unicorn daughter a pair of unique ponies. Whenever Celestia would ask about little Eliza's unusual name, Able Octave explained that Victoria was apart of his mother's name. Her first name Elizabeth had been chosen by his wife who would not say where that had come from.

Able Octave asked her if she could help to teach his daughter about magic since he did not know many unicorns that he could trust with Eliza's magic lessons. She did have Able Octave's incredible patience when she made a few mistakes although getting frustrated was a natural accourence. It was a joy to have her as a student due to Luna at the time being a bit more distant than usual due to an accidental spell.

Musical Gale inherited his mother's excellent memory at memorizing facts about different genres of music, yet was quite a showboat. This contrasted Rest Cleft's usual nature of making sure others were acknowledged before herself it was quite a surprise. Once he became prouder of his work which happened after a few songs it had managed to get under control.

Elizabeth also had her mother's knowledge of estimations, along with making calculations with abnormal precision. Little Eliza worried she would make her father disappointed if she did not have a musical talent. So she attempted to learn many instruments which she was quite talented when she played the cello.

It was only after she received her cutiemark, a small pile of bits along side an early version of a calculator, that she admitted that she was better at mathematics than playing her cello. To which Able Octave actually said that he always admired his wife's equations being so talented in mathematical expertise. Celestia remembered that many times Luna would talk with Elizabeth because she was one of the few ponies up at night to admire Luna's work.

In placing each individual star in its proper position around the moon something that she had missed seeing many nights. It happened a few times that Luna was actually a bit late in lowering the moon to transition to the day time. Due to discussing certain topics with Eliza who would always listen no matter which time of the night Luna dropped in.

Even when Eliza started to have kids, she would always work with Luna when ever she needed help getting her issues it went uncriticised for years. Without having to be wary of any officials over hearing her judging the Princess of the Night who was supposed to keep up an image. She became quite depressed on the night that Luna transformed into Nightmare Moon an event Celestia did not like recalling.

Apparently Luna had actually visited Elizabeth just before her sister changed into a horrible form out of jealousy over all those years. She told Eliza her plan for making the night last forever before flying off to their old castle located in the Everfree forest a very brief encounter. To which Eliza actually follow behind her teleporting a great distance trying to help her friend.

Elizabeth actually managed to catch Luna before she entered the aged throne room pleading for her friend to acknowledge the consequence. If I was forced to use the Element's of Harmony on her as a last resort, stating that they could do possibly anything to stop her in the middle of the battle. Luna told her that she always appreciated it when she listened to her woes without judging her actually treating her like a genuine friend.

She had to take extreme risks for more ponies to notice her night something that had created that form. Celestia recalled that she was completely unaware of Elizabeth's presence until after she had banished her sister for a thousand years. After the image formed on the moon it when Elizabeth had stated this would have never happened if more ponies had took the time out of their busy schedules, then they could have appreciated Luna's spectacular night.

Celestia felt a great sadness in having to remember that terrible night in which she had brought a thousand year wait to reconcile with her younger sister. Once she was finished reminiscing about her past, Celestia quickly wrote a letter to Twilight explaining Able Octave, and Rest Cleft. Along with how her sister actually was well acquainted with Elizabeth Victoria Lystor the first.

Celestia left out the personal details of Luna's conversations with the departed pony. She also suggested it may be wise to go along with Twilight's plan for at least until Elizabeth was used to using magic, along with learning how to fly. Celestia wrote that it was her choice to tell her secret to any other ponies about her being an alicorn with no cutiemark.

Elizabeth should take immediate caution most would be rather shaken by this information so be wise who knows about it. She also wrote down that she will be informing her sister about Elizabeth's situation once Twilight receives this letter. Celestia used magic to send the letter to her faithful student then stood up from the throne stretching for a few moments.

Celestia made her way to Luna's tower in the castle's west most wing, passing quite a few guards who saluted to their Princess of the Day. The castle interior began to change to bluish color palette to reflect her sister's mane it looked lovely with moonlight shining through rather than daylighy. As she entered her sister Luna's room she noticed that Luna had just gotten up, due to her still looking tired even a small yawn followed. which was understandable because soon they would have to transition to the night from the evening.

Luna noticed that her older sister had entered her room, and said "Sister, We thought that we still had another hour before having to raise the moon, did we by chance over sleep. We had an odd nightmare to work out with a frightened filly so it took longer than usual."

Celestia stated "No, you did not over sleep, but speaking of being late do you recall when you would spend so much time talking to Eliza that you were late a few times in lowering the moon I even had to start leaving you notes so you would be aware of the time.", and Luna sighed a bit recalling one of the few ponies that had actually appreciated her lovely night.

She knew that she would have eventually out live Elizabeth, yet before being banished her friend had actually tried to warn her of what might possibly happened. Luna did not realize that she would have put her friend through such a horrible sight. Now she couldn't go back to apologize to her friend for making her witness her banishment to the moon.

Celestia saw that Luna was reminiscing about Elizabeth so she quickly attempted to change the subject by stating "Well recently Twilight, and her friends encountered a pony by the same name aside from the second who's appearance closely resembles your old friend. She is actually Elizabeth's great great granddaughter who looks pretty similiar to her. Besides being a cutiemarkless alicorn of the age of twelve once it turns day tomorrow.

Although you can't make amends with Elizabeth you could help her descendant with learning how to use magic, and flight as a present or something along those lines. Due to her being raised by mainly earth ponies, she has had to always rely on using her hooves for average day tasks. She is even younger than you along with my student so it would help her to learn.

From what Twilight described she appears to behave similarly to Elizabeth the first so you may have to watch for that dear sister. Also I am truly sorry for bringing up your dear friend it was a catastrophe that she accidentally witnessed.. that night."

Luna thought about her sister's suggestion, shocked that Elizabeth possibly had an alicorn great great granddaughter. That in itself was a pretty rare occurrence still the Lystor family had always been rather special. It made sense that she was raised by earth ponies Eliza even had Earth pony fillies that Luna met shortly after they turned three.

Since she could no longer be there for her dearly departed unicorn friend, then it would be best for her to help her friend's granddaughter. It was not the same thing still she had to do something, anything to right that wrong even if she would possible mistake them. Along with being one of the only ponies still alive that knew Elizabeth the first personally.

Luna stated " We will do just that our sister, it will definitely aid the possibly confused alicorn. However, we fear that we might mistake her for our friend by accident which wouldn't be the best situation to explain to her. It may take a bit of time us to adjust to knowing her great great granddaughter considering we left Elizabeth the first in such a confused state all those years ago.

We will stilltry our very best to support her in this situation it will take some time to not make that mistake. Also we ... I understand you didn't mean for her to see me as Nightmare Moon being banished. if I had just listened to her, then it would have definitely turned out better than what has already happened."

Celestia was glad that her sister would attempt to help Elizabeth's descendant who shared the same name in this rather ...unique situation that she entered by accident. It would help Luna to start connecting with more ponies after all making connections had been tough for her.

Celestia asked "Okay, then what will you exactly say once you appear at her tenth birthday party, my dear sister? I understand that you are quite friendly with most of the citizens of Ponyville, but that might not be the best reason to appear at a new members party. Twilight has come up with a plan for Elizabeth to live with Applejack, on their farm as to not draw attention for when she is practicing magic. Along with her flight capabilities which would look quite odd to see an alicorn just appear out of no where. I suggest saying that you knew one of her ancestors quite some time ago, so you would like to reconnect with their descendants."
