Angel Of The Snow

There once was a little filly sweeter than candy

With a smile that could make anypony feel dandy

Her coat was as blue as the azure sky

Catching the eye of anypony flying by

Her mane and tail where whiter than a sheet

Gaining the attention of all she may greet

With a voice that was softer than a summer breeze

With eyes of blue to make anypony freeze

As beautiful as she was, she had a disfunction

One that kept her from making a whole junction

Her eyes of blue were sadly shadowed grey

Making her unable to see what one would say

Or see the color of her own hoof

Let alone the one she had on her roof

It also left her wondering what the world looked like

If it was as soft as a mattress or as sharp as a pike

Or it was as beautiful as the wings of a swan

Or ugly as somepony using another as a pawn

This disfunction made her a target for others

Be it mothers, fathers, sisters, or brothers

They mocked laughed, and tore her down

Pushing her in water as if wanting her to drown

Ignoring her tears and her pleas to stop

Letting her fall as if she was a pebble to drop

Each and every night, she cried in her bed

Craving for a comfort she wanted to be fed

Something her covers could not seem to give her

Letting her tears flow out like a river

And stain the outlines of her beautiful fur

After crying from a moment, she wished did not occur

Every starry night, she looked out her room

Wanting to fly go up there on a broom

And wish for the one thing she always desired

One that she hoped would not be expired

The need to show them all and make them all see

That while she may be as fragile as a bee

She could be just as strong as them

And not the weak filly they tried to condemn

On all nights like this, she made this wish

One she thought that was clean as a dish

She wished, she hoped, she dreamed, would pray

That the stars above would light her way

And give her a path she hoped would stay

Then one day while she was at school

Working with snow she saw as a tool

She was given the chance to prove her worth

To bring it all out in a single girth

Like a mother mare in the trials of birth

Once away from school she began her task

The light from the night allowing her to bask

And allow her beauty to be seen by all

Even from the being as beautiful as she was tall

By the end of that night the filly finished her work

Holding it up with a bit of a smirk

Although unable to see, she could hear it clearly

Taking it in a hold that was just as dearly

And showing it to her mother so she could see

All while they discussed it over a cup of tea

The following morning, the filly stood proud

In between the colts and fillies in a crowd

In front of the wielders of the sun and moon

Both looking like they came out of a cocoon

As the sun princess spoke, the night princess chose to listen

As her mane, tail and are continued to glisten

Before her eyes locked right into the filly

Who looked at her with a gaze she thought was silly

That was the spark the little filly needed

And all others watched as she went and proceeded

Displaying her project for all to witness

Letting them see its beauty and fitness

She went into a speech as deep as the sea

Making all eyes go as wide as could be

All while the queens continued to gaze

Looking like they were trying to go through a maze

By the end of the speech, all where kneed deep

Into a heartache that made them want to weep

Including the infamous princess of the night

Something that would’ve made all gape at the sight

Before her sister could speak, the Night Princess took the lead

Her heart bearing an ache that made her want to bleed

And ask the filly to make another flake

A request that sounded sweeter than a cake

With a beaming smile, the filly agreed

Happy she found the attention that all would need

And with a laugh she mirthfully embraced her mother

Doing so that made all think she wanted to have a smother

That very same night, the filly had a dream

One that would’ve made one want to scream

She came face to face with the Princess of the Night

Who gazed upon her with a much clearer sight

Despite knowing she could not do the same

And see her do her very best to be tame

She thanked to filly for the gift she gave

Not really knowing how else to behave

In front of the one who’d soon be her friend

And take her on a journey she hoped would never end

As the years went by their bond continued to rise

Rivaling even the entire kingdom in size

They laughed, they cried, they fought and hugged

Sharing a love that could never be tugged

They shared in each other’s happiness and sadness

Unaware of the Night Princess incoming madness

One that would soon tear them apart

Doing so with the speed of a runaway cart

Soon, the Night Princess began to change

Acting like she had just gotten sarcoptic mange

The joy in her heart replaced with rage

One that could not be held by any caged

All thanks to those who hated and feared her

Seeing her as nothing but an incoming usurper

Further and further the Night Princess fell

Into a seemingly unending well

With nopony there to help pull her out

Not even the Snow Angel who was always up and about

No matter how much she tried to cry and beg

Even going so far as to offer her own leg

The Snow Angel could not get through to her friend

And fix the patch she tried desperately to mend

Then, the Night Princess finally snapped

Making all who were close enough feel trapped

As the darkness inside her pulled her in

Making her an enemy to her own kin

The Princess of the Sun tried all she could

To make her sister see all reason that she would

And bring her soul back into the light

And chase the darkness far away from sight

But the Princess of the Night was too far gone

To the point her rage could have forever went on

Entrapping all who were helpless to escape

Making them feel as if they were choking on tape

With regret in her heart, the sisters then dueled

Clashing with power that could never be cooled

All while the Snow Angel listened on her part

Feeling the battle wage deep within her heart

As quickly as it started the battle came to an end

And the Snow Angel tried desperately to find her friend

Only to by stopped by the Princess of the Sun

Who crushed her fears like a bullet from a gun

Saying her sister was no longer with there

Not in any other place no matter where

In the incoming years, the Snow Angel would morn

Filled with a heartbreak that was forever torn

One that nopony would ever be able to heal

Or be able to keep it in any type of seal

Although she was sad, the Snow Angel did not lay

Refusing to restart the game others liked to play

Remembering the promise that she made to her friend

One she’d ensure would never come to an end

Doing so with a will that refused to bend

As the years went by, she stayed true to her word

Making more flakes with the swiftness of a bird

Even as her mind and body continued to age

Going with the grace and gentleness of a mage

When the Snow Angel finally took her last breath

She made a final wish before passing on in death

A wish that she’d see her friend one last time

And greet her with a voice prettier than a chime

A thousand years passed and so did the change

Going in a seemingly endless range

With ponies growing, aging and passing

Doing so as if they were in one great massing

At least the Princess of the Night came back

Eager to see her friend and get back on track

And make up for all the time both had lost

While she lay on the moon feeling colder than frost

That hoped was crushed when her sister gave the truth

Giving her a gaze that was nothing short of ruth

Telling her that her dear Snow Angel was gone

Having passed on with the grace of a swan

This revelation crushed the younger sister

Making her wail as if covered in blisters

Bringing both rulers in a hug between sisters

As she mourned, the Night Princess could not even smile

One that seemed to be father tha a mile

A smile that could only be brought by her friend

That would soon meet her on a path few could trend

One night, the two friends met once more

Leaving the Night Princess shocked to the core

A shocked that soon turned into emotional joy

As if a filly had gotten her very first toy

The Night Princess pulled her friend into an embrace

Caring not for being regal or her grace

Letting her tears stained the fur of the mare

The only one who truly seemed to really care

As the dream went on the two shared a talk

One that could never be written with chalk

One of the good times, the bad times and the present

A talk that could tear the heart out of any peasant

As soon as it started, the bonding soon ended

The rift between them finally mended

Having given all the apologize they could give

With both wishing they could still truly live

With a final hug, the friends said goodbye

Both doing their absolute best not to cry

Knowing they would each other again once more

Be in the sky or on a beach shore

The Night Princess frowned as she watched her friend vanish

Into the snow that all seemed to banish

The very same snow that she held unlike no other

Like a wailing foal wanting the touch of its mother

Although she was gone, the Night Princess was not sad

For she was not torn, but instead she was glad

That she got to see her friend for one final time

Having made a wish like balancing on a dime

And regardless of long it took for her to pass

And her body to be buried far within the grass

The Night Princess did, and would now always know

That she would always have her Angel of the Snow
