A letter to Celestia

Epilogue

~~Dear Princess Celes~~...

~~Dear Celestia~~...

Dear Sister

foremost, I would like to thank you again for all of the guidance you had given me throughout the years while I was your student.

Looking back at the years under your wing, I have come to Reread a lot of what you had told me throughout those years, and even the sorrow I saw within your eyes from time to time. Until now I would not understand what was the cause of your pain.

When I learned of The Moon's banishment and her relationship to you, my best guess was that the pain was of losing her and through my time in ponyville I had assumed that having The Moon back you would finally be happy.

I knew you caught on to my attention and you tried your best to suppress your emotions, however hard you tried to hide it from me, I still noticed the longing in your eyes as we parted back to ponyville from our weekly Advanced Magic lessons as if you were hoping to see something inside me that is no longer.

At times I had assumed that you had missed having me live at the castle, in truth ever since Fluttershy vanished in the Everfree Castle and was declared dead soon after, the aura in ponyville had changed. Pinkie no longer bounces like she used to, and I hardly remember the last time she laughed.

I am not certain but I believe Pinkie is thinking about moving back to her families rock farm, but she would not be the first to move away. while I was away undergoing the mysteries of the old temples beyond the north, apparently, Rarity moved to manehattan to try and start a new life as a bartender or something, as an attempt to forget what she had seen at the castle. From what I heard from Applejack she decided to change her name so no one would be able to track her down.

My only wish is that I would give her a hug and ask how she is fairing, but Applejack had me promise to not search for her, "it will only bring back memories to see us" Applejack would normally say. at the least hope Rarity is doing better than Applejack.

Applejack is still the most stubborn pony I've ever met and she would have me believe that she is fine, but... I still worry about her. I first noticed that she no longer runs the family stand at the farmers market, apparently, she had passed that responsibility to Applebloom not too long after she had earned her cutie mark. And while I can pass that off, after watching applejack recent behaviors I have come to realize she no longer does anything around the farm nor does she ever leave it, all she seems to do is sit and stare out of the second story window of her house towards the Everfree Forest.

On the bright side, at least Rainbow dash had moved on.

while I was gone, apparently she had entered the Wonderbolt reserves and moved back to Cloudsdale, and even though I have yet to learn how to fly, I was able to take the hot air balloon up to see some of her shows,

Apparently, due to my new title wonderbolt show tickets are free even if a show is sold out, I also could get anyone into any wonderbolt show without a ticket required.

in the end, rainbow seems happier than ever before, and I'm happy to see the life she had made for herself.

a couple of weeks ago she had learned that I was taking the hot air balloon back and forth to ponyville, she had declared that she would teach me everything there is to know about flying, however, I was unable to accept her as a teacher, even if she is a wonderbolt reserve.

The very thought of rainbow teaching me how to fly brings back many old memories of her crashing into the library, often times producing messes that I still feel bad for forcing spike to clean up.

To be honest, I am surprised over the couple years I've known rainbow dash was only hospitalized that one time from crashing.

And while on the subject of flying I was hoping to reserve that honor to my favorite Mentor and Sister if you don't mind that is.

But I'm getting off topic, the point is ponyville had changed, its not really as cheery as it once used to be, and in all honesty I long for my Canterlot days in my tower suite in the castle, if you would have me that is, I've missed all of our talks of magic and my lessons over tea in the castle gardens.

Regardless whether it at the castle or Sparkle Manner. I can confirm that my ponyville days are over and will be moving back to my home City in a couple of weeks

Perhaps you have noticed in this letter, I've been dancing around the Elephant in the metaphorical room.

The Moon...

It is true I do not have any of my old memories back, and I wish I can forgive our Sister, but I can not, not yet at least. Even if I can't remember the horrible things she had done to me outside of the legends, After my ascension and reclaiming that which was stolen from me, every fiber of my being wanted to hate her.

I cannot even say her name let alone call her sister without my anger for what she had done to me and my stars to overcome me.

Before any of this happened she had been one of my closest friends, I even considered her a like a sister to me, as much as I had considered you as a second mother.

I hope soon I may vanquish this instinctual fear and anger I have over The Moon, and I hope to one day call her sister as well.

After all, I am the goddess of the stars and in extent, I am all of the world's magic, I've been through a lot for a pony in her 20's and seen many things no mortal could ever dream to see within my final exam, and adventure you had set me on to recover what I've lost.

If I could go through all that, how hard could forgiveness possibly be?

I hope to see you again Celestia

With love, your sister, and student...

Princess Twilight Sparkle
