A Hidden Past

It was just a normal day for the princesses. Just their daily routine. Doing paperwork, helping others, or dealing with some crisis. They never have the time to spend time with one another or a friend. But now, they have the time to spend some sisterly time with eachother. They were drinking cups of tea and discussing about what happened today. The conversation stopped since Luna had to go check dreams.

"I have to go check on dreams. See you later, sister," Luna said, flying off. Celestia then went up to her bed chambers since it was her time to rest. She knew her sister was the Princess of the Night and she takes care of the dreams. She soon then fell asleep.

Celestia was somewhere not in her bedroom. She was somewhere else. It looked like Equestria but way different. The place looked like it was in the ancient times. The Sun Princess looked at everything around her with widened eyes.

Am I in the ancient times of Equestria? She thought.

Celestia knew that this place looked familiar. She decided to walk further down into the place. She started to get a better look at it. Just then, she saw Canterlot Castle. It looked way different than it did today. The Sun Princess gasped at the sight of it.

Now I know that I'm in the ancient times of Equestria! She thought once again.

The alicorn thought that was all she was going to see but that was not all. She saw two alicorns with two daughters. The female one was named Galaxia and the male one was named Cosmos. The ponies who were born during the ancient times would know that there was a male alicorn. Celestia gasped, knowing who these ponies were.

Mother and father!

She and her sister are the daughters of this pair. The parents weren't just normal alicorns, but a king and queen. They have ruled Equestria for many years, with the royal sisters next in line. When they were younger, their mother used to tell them stories while their father was busy. He was always like that. He wanted to make sure his kingdom was safe. His wife wasn't bothered by that though. Although, she did want him to spend more time with their children.

...

Years later, there was a threat coming to the kingdom. It was a very terrible threat. They were a group of creatures called draconequuses. They wanted to overthrow the king and queen of Equestria so they could rule it. They had a son named Discord and he was next in line to lead the group. King Cosmos started to train warriors so they could battle the threatening creatures. Queen Galaxia took care of young Celestia and Luna. After a few weeks, the war began...

...

"Give us your kingdom!" The draconequus king demanded.

"Never!" King Cosmos replied with fury.

There was fighting. Lots of fighting. It lasted for hours. After a few hours, something happened. The king of Equestria had disappeared. Nopony knew where he went. This made his wife and his children worried. The queen then decided to go out and look for him.

"Stay here, girls. I'm going to look for your father."

She then vanished. Hours later, the queen of Equestria was still not back. Ponies started panicing, including the royal sisters.

"Tia! I'm scared!" said Luna, as if she was about to cry. Celestia hugged her sister, hoping that it would calm her down. Luna wasn't the only one afraid. Celestia was too.

I hope mom and dad return soon...

...

More hours passed. They still weren't back. A patrol then decided to go out and look for them. After a while, they found their dead bodies. The ponies became emotional when they saw their lifeless souls. They knew everypony were going to grief for a while, but for the royal sisters, the grief would last longer. All of them then headed back, tears streaming down their faces. When they were back, everypony was concerned about the state they were in. One of the ponies of the patrol then revealed that the king and queen of Equestria were dead.

"T-The king and queen are dead!"

...

Everypony was crying. They were upset that their beloved king and queen died. Celestia and Luna were crying harder than all of them.

"MAMA!" Luna yelled, sobbing loudly.

"I know, Luna, I know..." Celestia said sniffling.

The older Celestia watched this tragedy. She didn't want to see this anymore. She wanted it to stop. Tears started streaming down her face.

"NO STOP! MAKE IT STOP!" She yelled, sobbing loudly.

The dream was still here.

"STOP!!!" She yelled again, sobbing louder.

The dream then stopped.

...

Celestia woke up back in her bedroom. Tears were flowing down her face non-stop. Tears also stained her pillow. Luna then came rushing into her bedroom. She wanted to see if her sister was alright.

"Sister! Are you alright? I saw the dream..."

The Moon Princess gasped when she saw her older sibling in bad condition. She walked up to her and put her wing around her.

"Sister..." She said in a soft voice.

Celestia then broke down sobbing again. Luna then hugged her sister so she could calm her down. It made younger sibling upset that her older sibling was sobbing uncontrollably like this. After a few minutes, Celestia was now calmer. Tears stained her cheeks and her eyes were red and puffy. Luna looked at her in the eyes.

"I saw the dream about mom and dad..." She said. "It was sad when they died..."

Celestia sniffled. "I know..."

"I know how much emotion it brings, dear sister," Luna said in an understanding tone.

All Celestia could do was nod. She was thankful that she has a sister who understands her. Luna decided they should go have a cup of tea. That always calmed The Sun Princess down.

"Sister," Luna began. "Lets go have a cup of tea together. That always calms you down."

Celestia nodded in agreement. Both of them then went to the kitchen.

...

The royal sisters were enjoying some tea together. Celestia was thinking about something. Luna noticed it and decided to get her attention.

"Celestia?"

Celestia snapped out of her thoughts. She decided to tell her sister what she was thinking about.

"Luna..."

"Yes?"

Celestia took a deep breath then she spoke.

"I think... we should tell the modern day ponies about our parents... including Twilight and her friends...
