Author's Note

Hope you all like this story. Just note that not everything is accurate here, so don't dislike it or remind me in the comments. Also note that I love Luna and Celestia equally so don't get any funny ideas. Comment also so it does not feel like I'm writing a story for Casper and his friends...please ? *Starts groveling and sobbing on the floor*

Prologue : A Brief History Lesson

Okay. You all know how the story goes. There were two sisters. One controlled the sun and the other controlled the moon. Then one sister got jealous and blah blah blabbity blah... banished to the moon.

Now you might be thinking who the heck this dude think he is ? Does he know that he is making fun of one of the most important turning point in Equestrian history ?

To answer the second question: Yes, I am well aware. As for the first question, I will leave it blank. I may not be the brightest star in the sky but I'm no idiot. The last thing I want is a bunch of angry Bronies knocking on my front door...with shotguns.

With that out of the way let me explain what I meant in the beginning and it's quite simple : Its the only story they ever sing, they keep on repeating it and that's that. No explanations, no commentary on it and not even a book and don't you dare say anything about the book Twilight read in the beginning. I mean most ponies were not even aware that Celestia had a sister until Twilight and the gang arrived and defeated Nightmare moon. Heck the story was considered a foals tale. Okay we do end up finding out why the gorgeous Princess Luna ended up into a gorgeous nightmare but that was because Twilight relived the events when she drank that magical bottle of whisky (Or was it milk ?) that Zecora happily gave when the mane 6 were in a tough spot. By the way, is it even legal to be in possession of magical milk/whisky that takes you to another place ? That sounds like drugs to me. But hay, who cares .

Okay back to the point, I think I'm straying from the whole point of this chapter/Prologue thingy but I sure you getting the idea. They never tell us what happens after. Did Celestia cry ? What happened to the state of Equestria ? Did the ponies rejoice ?

I think the last one is a bit stretched but I digress, whatever the hell that means. But fear not my good ponies for I know what happened. Prepare yourself for a little history lesson !

"In the aftermath of the banishment of Princess Luna, Equestria began fighting with itself. Rivers ran red, blood was shed. Sons fighting Fathers, Mothers fighting their own daughters. On one side was the ponies who backed Celestia and the other, ponies who backed the then banished Princess Luna. Equestria became divided. Their were two areas that broke off.One calling themselves Saddle Arabia, the other was called Orbemia. Saddle Arabia eventually surrendered after only ten years since it was formed after Princess Celestia caused a damaging heat wave that permanently destroyed the areas soil, turning it to a desert. Saddle Arabia would only get its dependence thirty years later. Orbemia on the other hoof was lucky. It was situated near the cold north which meant Celestia could not threaten nor pull the same stunt as she did with Saddle Arabia.The two options left she could do was diplomacy or war. Being in the state of grief, anger and the bloodshed around her. She chose the latter and so the two hundred year war began...

Whoa. That was a lot to take in, right ? Some of you might be wondering where I got this. And here is my answer: From a book of course ! ( great I sound like a hypocrite ) and no, not from Twilight. I actually found it in a ancient Solar temple. Okay let me just be frank with all of you. This recount is actually a bit biased, its written by a follower of Princess Celestia. In all honesty (I even got AJ with me here) Princess Celestia was a totally different pony back then, Yeah she was always a good ruler but at that time she was harsh, cold and cruel. The sort of thing that happens to you when your beloved sister and the only family you have left becomes evil and betrays you and you have to to banish her to the moon, not even sure if she is alive or dead. Then how did she change ? She's fine now so what happened ?

That's the whole point of this story. You all ask too much of questions. You see the Two hundred year war is the not end. Rather the beginning of the end. Well actually the end of the war is the beginning of the end. That's where our story will start or should I say beginning of our story ?

Anyway I hope you all enjoy coz I gotta bounce, like through my window. Some pony is knocking on my door and I'm getting a feeling that it is a Rambo looking dude wearing a Celestia and Luna pony shirt holding a shotgun...
