A Day Without Light

"I will be leaving and anyone that wishes to accompany me may."  Everpony was silent, none of them had expected something such as this to happen in a land such as Equestria.  The princess of the night, Luna, was saying that she had to leave.  There was an air of sadness and hate in the crowd.  Though Luna was not the mos loved princess, she still held a special place in many ponies hearts.  The night was a place to relax and think, not something that was evil or dark, as many believed.

"Why!?" a pony somewhere in the crowd shouted.  Following, there were murmurs of agreement with his question.  Why should their princess have to leave, and to such a place so far away at that.  "Why do you have to leave princess!?"  The pony asked again.

"My sister,"  A sinister tone could be heard in her voice as she addressed the crowd.  "Has believed me to be a threat to her "just and fair" rule.  She has exiled me to the Zebrican isles, on the other side of the world."  Shouts of outrage could be heard through the crowd.  Though many of them favored Celestia, this was an event that could change the whole world.  "But do not worry, for I will still control the night from where there, and please know that the day night cycle will not change... much."  No pony in the crowd heard he last statement as they still were riled up and were arguing.  Although those with astute ears could hear that she said the last few words in a whisper.

Luna left the stage and started walking.  At this, the crowd died down and began mourning for the loss of their princess.  "You may all still accompany me if you wish.  But be warned, the journey will be long and hard, and I am not in the mood to deal with stragglers."  The crowd nodded in unison at this and many of them started following.  Luna looked back and a smirked, this was going to be easier than she thought.
