Discord

Over one-thousand years ago Equestria was discovered. After its time of discovery two unicorn-pegasi. One named Princess Celestia the other Princess Luna. Celestia was taught a spell that would raise the sun for all the ponies of Equestia and Luna was taught a spell to raise the moon for the ponies to sleep. These two ponies is where our adventure begins.

It is now 17 years later. Celestia was still in Equestria High. Luna being 3 years younger was still in Equestria Middle. “Hey Discord what classes do you got this year!” said Celestia, to her current boyfriend. “Another boring old schedule, at least I can still pull pranks on the other ponies”, Smirked Discord. Celestia in shock said, “Now Discord, you said you would hold off on the pranking this year, you almost got suspended last year.” Discord got a grim stare at Celestia, “Well I said I would think about it, and I can’t stop pranking. Its just to much fun.” “Discord!” Celestia shouted out in anger. “Okay, okay only for you Celestia, hey we have the same second class.” Celestia went on to her first class excited about being in second block with Discord.

She hardly heard the teacher over what was on her mind. She sat there all happy until on the intercom said, “Discord, come to the principals office, NOW!” The smile faded on Celestia’s face. She got mad thinking, “Discord you liar, you said no pranks.” Then immediately after that the intercome came on again, “Celestia come to the principals office, NOW!” “What did I do. If Discord got me into trouble he is going to have a hoof in his face when I’m done.”

Celestia came into the office. The administrator pointed straight to the principals office. She walked in with the principal’s face angry and Discord sitting in front of him looking innocent. “Now Celestia, Discord was with you this morning?” the principal said looking straight into her eyes. “Y-yes he was we were walking seeing what classes we had.” Celestia said with fear inside of her. The principal looking a bit more calm asked, “What time was that exactly?” Celestia still shaking answered, “Around 8:15.” “Okay your clean Discord head on back to class.” The principal said now looking happy. On the way back Celestia wanted to ask what Discord was framed for, but right when they left the office they had to go separate ways. “I’ll ask him next class”, thought Celestia.

Second class came and Celestia immediately asked Discord, “What were you called to the office for.” “Well isn’t that a fancy hello you got there”, Discord replied. “DISCORD, BE SERIOUS!” Celestia said almost loud for everyone to hear. “Oh some guy just mixed the toilets to shoot the water out when you flushed.” Discord said relaxing and laying back. “Well I am glad they knew the truth.” “Did they now?” Discord said still laying back in his chair. Celestia’s eyes grew small, “wait, what?” “It was totally me”, chuckled Discord, “I just used my magic so that it won’t take effect until 8:20 this morning.” “Discord you said you would hold off on the pranks!” Celestia said almost shouting again. “That was BEFORE you made me promise that, by the time you made me it was already to late.” Discord said starting to look serious now. Then Celestia sighed, “Okay, but one more prank and it is over. You better change.”

The rest of the day they didn’t see each other until school was over when her and Discord flew back home. Celestia walked in seeing Luna jumping around saying, “Yay big sister is here, big sister is here!” “Alright Luna why are you so jumpy right now.” Celestia said almost laughing. Luna stopped looking at her big sister with a huge smile, “I missed you big sister school is to long I miss summer being with you having fun everyday.” Celestia’s smile grew bigger saying, “I missed you too little sister. Oh you should get ready, it’s almost time for the sun to go down.” Luna almost forgot and immediately ran outside to prepare herself to move the moon. Celestia sent a letter to discord wile waiting for her sister to come back. The rest of the night she didn’t get a single letter back from Discord.

She decided to wait til tomorrow to ask him. For the rest of the night before they went to bed her and Luna decided to play some board games such as Monopony and Hoof Print. “It was the purple unicorn in the library with quill”, Luna said pulling out the cards to find that she won, “I win, I win, I win.” “My Luna you are really jumpy today even when I won you leaped for joy”, Celestia said with a huge smile. Luna then blushed and finally decided to tell her older sister, “You know that Pegasus I told you about?” Celestia looked at her sister replying, “You mean Soarin?” “Yeah, well he asked me out today!” Luna said jumping again. “That’s great Luna I am glad you got what you wished for”, Celestia said smiling at her sister. “Yeah I wanted to make him something tomorrow, but I don’t know what to make him.” Celestia then had an idea for what she did for Discord, “Well what does he like to eat?” Luna then looked up thinking then said, “Well he brought up apple pie a lot.” Celestia then smiled leaped up and said, “Then we shall make pie! Oh is there anything else he mentioned?” Luna looked up thinking again and said, “He was talking about how much he loved to wonderbolts, he even showed off some moves he has been practicing and they are amazing! He went woosh! Pew! Zoom!” Luna then fell trying to balance on one hoof showing her sister what he did. “Well tomorrow tell him I will talk to the trainer to leave a spot open for him to try out for in the future”, Celestia said, “Oh it is way past time for bed well I guess we should get going.” Luna then opened her eyes and asked “What about the pie?” Celestia let out a small laugh and said, “Okay, after we make the pie.”

Tomorrow came and Discord was no where in sight. Celestia hoping she would be able to ask him a very important question. The time grew late and first class was closing in. She decided to go on and ask him in second class. After first class which she again didn’t hear the teacher at all, but this time she was thinking if something happened to Discord. Her thoughts grew worse in second class as Discord was absent there as well. It was a long day for Celestia, “Discord is always here even when ill, what has him tied up for today?” She decided to fly over to Discords house and see what was going on. Discords mom came to the door. “Hello, is Discord okay? He wasn’t at school today”, said Celestia trying to hold in that she was scared for Discords sake. “I’m sorry to say that the guards got him last night. He is in prison currently.” Discords mom said trying to hold back that she was about to cry. Celestia in shock immediately said bye and ran over to the prison of Equestria.

“Ah princess I knew you would come I have him out and ready for you”, the guard said with no expression on him at all. Behind bars was Discord laying on the hard concrete bed he had in there. “Celestia, good you can get me out of here!” Discord got up and ran to the bars. Celestia trying to hold back saying she would and instead said, “What did you do Discord?...” Discord realized that he might have out done it, “Well I sent out my famous cotton candy clouds to rain chocolate on the wonderbolts show yesterday and the wonderbolts seem to have a move to fly through the clouds. I think the rest has already been told, but I’m in here due to interfering with the show.” Celestia now angry shouted, “How could you after you said no more pranks!” “That was at school this is outside school”, Discord said with one brow in the air. Celestia more angry shouted out, “I didn’t specify which means both you promised me Discord and you should be in here! Why couldn’t you listen to me! I am trying to help not end up like this now where are you?!? In a prison slowly losing your girlfriend, even your mom is home crying for what you have done!” “Oh Celestia, why do you always have to be so grim”, Discord said immediately covering his mouth, “Did I say that out loud?” Celestia raised her hand up as if she was about to hit him.

Discord covered his face from pain, but instead she swung her hoof forward with two golden tickets slowly gliding to the floor. “What is this?” Discord asked now uncovering his face. “Tickets to the Gala, I thought we would go together. I have been wanting to ask you all day. These tickets show our relationship. She then stomped on the tickets, “We are through Discord, you crossed the line this time.” She then left leaving Discord and not looking back. When she got home Luna was so happy that she gave the gifts to Soarin and how he hugged her for the great gifts. She stopped jumping seeing her sister was crying and how she went straight to her room. “Big sister?” she tried to call out but she was already in her room. “How could you do this to me Discord, I gave you everything you wanted. This is how you repay me?” Celestia whispered to herself with a small tear running down her face.

Days went by and Celestia seem to have done better in school not having to worry about Discord anymore. Her heart still broken, weeks after the argument in the prison. She did start talking to her friends more as well. “Well I told you how much of a jerk he was”, said one of Celestia’s friends named Daring. “Well I thought it was because he broke up with you right after he asked me, now that I think about it that might not have been a right path dating your ex right after that incident, sorry about that”, Celestia said to Daring. Daring then replied, “It’s fine if you want to go out with magic crazed jerks that is your business.” After that reply they both laughed. Celestia was so happy she never felt this much joy wile she was with Discord, she realized how much Discord was hurting her life. “So how is he behind those frantic bars”, Daring said. Celestia was about to answer her with what she had done until it grew dark in the school. She looked up finding the whole school covered in pink puffy clouds. “No…” Celestia whispered realizing what those ment.

She looked ahead finding Discord standing in an opening in the crowd of people. He snapped his fingers making it rain chocolate milk on everyone. “You all did this to me, now to repay you a favor, and Celestia! You deserve this the most”, Discord said waving his hands up making pieces of the floor flying and shifting gravity. The sun was switched to night then back to day no more then a few minutes later. “My name means Chaos. Now I will show you what it is!” Discord started messing with ponies minds and ruining things in their lives. The colors lost making them all a bleak grey color. Discord started coming towards Celestia who asked with a stutter, “H-how did you get out?” Discord said staring bleakly at Celestia, “Same way I am messing with these ponies minds and soon your mind as well.”

Celestia ran outside finding more chaos from Discords doings. Building were flying around the plants changing to insects. Roads of soap, and more ponies being filled with disharmony. She looked around then shouted out, “LUNA!” she then flew straight to Equestria Middle to find her sister crying. “What’s wrong Luna?” Celestia asked wile landing. “Soarin started acting weird today. He was a weird grey color and he started being a jerk to me.” Luna said wiping away her tears with her tail. Celestia growing angry at Discord told her sister “That wasn’t Soarin. Well it was but not him on the inside. Trouble is starting to happen I need your help little sister will you help me? It will help you get Soarin back.” Luna looked up shaking her head yes and flew back home with her sister.

Celestia ran to her room grabbing a book she had on her shelf. “What is that big sister?” Luna asked trying to read to cover which was almost fully covered in dust. Celestia trying to find the right page said “There are these stones that represent harmony between friends, but they need two ponies to represent the six elements which are honesty, loyalty, laughter, generosity, and kindness. We have all of that Luna, you’re the best sister anyone could have.” “Wait that was five”, said Luna. Celestia then stated, “No one knows what the last element is. No one has ever found the elements.” “why?” Luna asked. Celestia closed her eyes then said, “They are in a castle hidden in the Ever-free Forest.” Luna in shock yelled out, “Whoa wait we can’t go there. Anypony who had gone in there never came out, and it isn’t natural everything doesn’t work in the forest like it does in Equestria!” Celestia strapping her pack on and placing the book in said, “I know, but they’re our final hope to stop what is happening here.”

At that moment a smash happened downstairs. It was the door being torn down. “Oh no he’s here. Quick we will fly from the balcony to the forest.” They ran straight to the balcony in Celestia’s room and flew off. They landed in front of the forest and stared their way in. Walking slowly avoiding any creatures possible until they got to a river. “We will just fly over it”, Celestia said starting to flap her wings until they heard, “Why hello there!” Both Ponies leaped in the air in fear and saw a purple serpent with a long bushy moustache who said, “I like your manes they are the best. How they wave in the air and seem to be multicolored. Not as great as my moustache, but are still a great fashion sense.” “uh… why thank you…” Said Celestia who then asked, “Hey you wouldn’t happen to know where a castle is in this forest would you?” “Oh that tacky little thing, just across this river and you will come by a rickety old bridge. It’s just over that thing.” The serpent said point over in the trees. “Thank you very much”, Celestia said now flying over the river with her sister. “Well that was easy”, stated Luna.

They made it to the bridge that the serpent had mentioned. They started to cross it then once they were halfway through the bridge’s ropes started to untie themselves. “RUN!” yelled Celestia. They ran across the bridge with Luna right behind Celestia. Celestia made it across and turned to find her sister missing and the bridge falling. “LUNA!!!” Celestia looked down her sister not in sight. “No… Luna…” Celestia covering her face with her hooves now crying her worst ever cry. Until she felt a hoof poke her she looked up seeing Luna flying right in front of her. “Luna! Your okay!” Celestia said hugging her sister. “Of coarse I have wings I flew the moment you yelled run”, Luna said. Celestia forgot about her wings in her time of panic which made her blush of embarrassment. “Isn’t that the castle right there?” Luna asked. Celestia turned to see the castle and told her sister, “I don’t know, but we need to find those elements.”

They walked into the castle finding 5 stones on a pedestal. Celestia picked them all up with her magic carried them down. “This is it? They’re just rocks with pictures on them”, Luna said looking at the floating spheres above her head. “Well they will give us power when we need it the last element will appear with something called “The Spark”, Celestia said looking into the book. “We should head back who knows what Discord has done wile we were gone.” “Wait, Discord?” asked Luna now puzzled. “Yes Discord was not the draconequus I thought he was. He is causing all of this trouble. Even to Soarin…” Celestia looked at her sister after saying her new boyfriends name. “He will pay for ruining my first boyfriend!” Luna said. Then they went back to Equestria finding it more in ruin. “This is just Ponyville too. who knows what he did to Canterlot”, Celestia said fearing what had become of her hometown, the town she was born in and the princess of.

They flew back to Canterlot finding more chaos happening in the town then when they left. More ponies with disharmony in them all being the exact opposite of what they do. Eating backwards and even mixing up the words in their sentences. Celestia walked up to one of the guards and asked him what had happened wile they were gone. The guard relied, “Discord chaos caused all disharmony reversed pony flying personality buildings.” “Um… what?” asked Celestia trying to understand a word the guard had just said. She looked up seeing Discord staring at her sitting in a chair made of the letters from the Equestria High sign. “Ah Celestia, I was wondering where you went. I was getting really bored waiting to show you all the work I had done. It is an improvement don’t you think?” Celestia more angry then ever shouted out, “Discord, You will pay, my magic will stop you and I have help to defeat you this time!” Luna stepped forward. “Ha”, Laughed Discord, “Your little sister I have plenty of magic to stop both of you together you cannot harm me!”

Celestia pulled the stones from her pack and laid them around her and her sister and Celestia made her horn glow a bright light. Once Luna realized what her big sister was doing she joined in and the sixth element appeared. The element of magic. “What in the world are those pathetic things they look like miniature boulders…IDEA!” Discord said snaping his fingers and making it rain medium sized boulders in the area one hit Celestia knocking her out and the Elements rolled away. “Big sister!” Luna shouted trying to get the elements back together. “wake up big sister, wake up. Please… don’t go… I need you.” Luna moved her big sisters hoof making it look as if she was just asleep holding her sister. Luna cried more and more until the rage snapped in her. “You jerk! You messed with my first boyfriend, made me go into the Ever-free forest to stop you, and now you took the life of my sister!” Discord laughed and told young Luna, “Oh, but are you sure Celestia didn’t make you do it all?” Luna confused and now felt anger in her sister. “She couldn’t have she would never trick me”, she tought. She started to slowly believe it and her color started to fade as well. “How could my sister do this to me. She loved me. We had so much fun together…” Luna said quietly. The color of her fading more and more.

“Don’t listen to him little sister!” Luna turned around seeing her sister alive and barely standing. “I do love you. He is using his magic to do this to all of us. Too Soarin. Too me. Remember all the fun we had…” Luna was lost in her mind remembering all the fun time they had together. “Big sister…” Luna whispered and the elements started to gather together around them both. “Luna your smile is what makes my day. Coming home seeing you all happy. Especially the past few weeks seeing how Soaring made you so happy. I wish I could have found a pony that made me happy as much as Soarin makes you happy…” Luna ran up to her big sister giving her a hug. The power of the hug made the elements shine very bright and released a large rainbow across Canterlot, then spreaded to all around Equestria. Making all chaos back to the way Equestria use to be. “Discord, Prepare for your final breath!” Celestia yelled out using the elements with her sister trapping Discord in a colorful rainbow beam blasting him to fly backwards. Once they had stopped they saw Discord, frozen in stone, laying on the ground. “It is over”, Celestia said starting to cry. Luna walked up to Celestia rubbing her head under her big sisters chin trying to cheer her up. “You still have me big sister and you always will…”

Chapter 1: Complete

Nightmare Moon

It has been three years since the incident with Discord. Life had been great with Celestia and Luna. Celestia is still caring for her sister and Luna is now in Equestria High and still happily with Soarin. “Big sister, do you know what tonight is?” Luna asked her big sister. Celestia looking at the date thinking, “Um… Oh no I completely forget!” It was the date their parents had died eight years ago. Every year they go to lay their parents favorite flowers on their graves. The sun was still high for Celestia always let Luna raise the moon the second before they lay the flowers. They flew to the royal garden to pick the flowers then they flew off to the graves for respect. They talked to the graves as if their parents were standing right in front of them telling them what has happened for he last year. After ten minutes Luna and Celestia had tears in their eyes wile the moon was being raised by Luna’s magic and Celestia placed the flowers carefully on the grave with her magic. “I miss them…” Luna said with her eyes full of tears. Celestia the same way told her, “I miss them to…”

They left the grave and decided to walk the rest of the way home instead of flying. Luna looked around and saw no one was outside. She looked up and saw how beautiful the moon was. “Why does everyone sleep through the moon, it’s really beautiful”, Luna said. “The moon has a dim light making it easy to sleep, the sun is bright and releases life through plants and even ponies”, Celestia said now staring at the moon with Luna. “but I bring the moon up every night and no one takes kind to its beauty!” Luna said starting to get a bit loud in her voice. Celestia then got an idea, “The moon represents love, how about you invite Soarin tomorrow to raise the moon. I am sure you two would have a lot of fun doing that together.” “That’s a great idea! Maybe that will be our night!” Luna said with excitement. “Our night? You mean your first kiss?” Celestia asked. “Yeah! I would raise the moon we would both look at the moon then to each other… I can see it now…” Luna said closing her eyes thinking of that night. “That sounds great I guess I will leave you two alone tomorrow night”, Celestia said with a big smile looking at Luna.

Luna was walking down the hallway with Soarin at Equestria High. Luna asked the question, “Hey, Soarin, I was wondering if you would like to get together and see me raise the moon tonight. I will also have a pie baked ready for you!” “Sure I’d love to come see how you raise the moon”, Soarin said with a big smile on his face. They got to Luna’s class and had to go with a hug until lunch. The rest of the day went on and Luna was really excited for tonight. She got home and got Celestia to help make a pie ready like she promised Soarin.

She went outside and prepared everything for the perfect night she had planned out. Soarin came right on time and Luna greeted him with a hug. “So shall we begin the moon needs to be up in five minutes”, asked Luna. “Sure thing I can’t wait to see how you raise the moon”, replied Soarin. They sat on the porch Luna prepared for the moment she has been dreaming of. It hit the time to raise the moon and she rose it up. Soarin watched in amazement as the sun moved away and the moon showed itself from behind the mountains. The moon was up high and Luna was looking at the moon and also watching Soarin closely for the right moment.

When she was ready she turned to Soarin. Instead of him looking toward her he let out a big yawn and rubbed his eye. “You okay Soarin?” asked Luna she was afraid that it was… “I’m just a bit tired that’s all”, Soarin said. The one thing Luna didn’t want to happen did. “I’m going to go on home to bed. This was a great experience I love you Luna”, after Soarin saying those words he gave Luna a big hug and flew off back to home. Luna come running into her home crying. Celestia went up to talk to her. “What happened?” Celestia said. Luna trying to dry her face replied, “He got tired, why does no one enjoy the moon I raise everyday. The moment it comes up the very thing my cutiemark is for and it is shunned by everypony in Equestria.” Celestia tried to get her little sister to look at her, but Luna was fighting her off as she wanted to be alone.

Days went on and Luna seemed to have not enjoyed raising up the moon anymore she would still do it, but she would look around after doing so seeing all the ponies going inside to get ready for bed. Celestia would watch her out the window every night watching her look at all the ponies go off to bed. She thought she could talk to Luna and try to cheer her up. She went up to her room and walked in calling out her name, but to her surprise Luna was gone. The window to her balcony was open and a book was left wide open on her bed. She looked at the page the book was in. It was a dark spell. A spell that was powerful enough to put Equestria in a never ending darkness. Night time would last forever if Luna succeeded at this spell.

Celestia ran out of the house searching for her younger sister, but she was no where to be found. She thought where would the best place be to use that spell. Then it came to mind, on top of the highest tower in Canterlot. She looked up and saw Luna on top of the tower. Celestia flew on up the tower to find out what was happening. “Luna, what are you doing?” she asked landing on the roof of the tower. Luna turned to her sister “Everyone shuns the night that I work so hard to raise up for everypony. The least they can do is enjoy for a little wile before going off to bed, but now They don’t have to. I will raise the night forever and if anyone wants to wake up it will have to be at night. Say goodbye to your sun it will never be seen again!”

Celestia tried to stop her, but Luna used a spell from that dark book and knocked her off the tower. Celestia fell, her wings couldn’t get her to fly from how fast she was falling. “This is the end for me”, she thought. Until a Pegasus caught her before she hit the ground. Celestia looked up seeing it was Soarin. “My Luna was right you would make a great wonderbolt”, she said. “Thank you, but what is going on with Luna? Why is she up there? Why did she knock you off the tower?” Soarin asked. “She started getting upset thinking that everypony has been ignoring the moon she raises up at night”, Celestia said looking up at her sister. “That’s crazy, nopony can’t sleep without the moon. I also came over to see her raise the moon earlier”, Soarin said confused of what is going on. Celestia looked down and told Soarin about what Luna planned for them that night, and how when he yawned Luna took it the wrong way. Soarin looked up at Luna and told Celestia, “I love Luna and her beautiful moon, if I knew she was ready to have our first kiss I would have done a long time ago. Maybe it isn’t too late, maybe I can talk to her.” Soarin flew up to Luna on the tower.

“Luna”, he called out. “Soarin! I am so glad to see you”, Luna said looking at Soarin. Soarin ran up to Luna and kissed her. Luna was confused and shocked, but slowly fell under the spell of his kiss. “I have been waiting for you to do that”, Luna said. “I know that now. I’m so sorry I didn’t follow your plan…” at that note Luna looked at Soarin and said, “My plan? How did you know of my plan? My big sister set you up. You just kissed me to stop what I am about to do! You never wanted to kiss me!” Soarin was about to tell her what he told Celestia, but on that note Luna used the spell on Soarin knocking him off the tower. Celestia caught him wile he was falling. “Looks like it was my turn to return a favor”, Celestia said looking at Soarin.

When they landed Soarin hit the ground and started to cry. He has never seen Luna this upset before and she was mad at him for the first time. Celestia then had an idea. She was going to use the elements to stop Luna and get her back to her old self. The moment she was ready to go, a huge explosion happened on top of the tower. Celestia looked up and saw Luna in a new figure. She was taller darker. Luna then made an announcement, “CITEZENS OF EQUESTRIA. I AM NIGHTMARE MOON. USING MY MAGIC YOU WILL ALL ENJOY THE MOON THAT I RISE. THE NIGHT WILL LAST FOREVER! HAHAHAHAHAHA!”

Celestia was shocked at what her little sister has done. She had never seen anything like this happen to her, she was always so happy. She ran inside running to her room looking for the elements that have been stored away since the incident with Discord. She remembered she told the guards to lock them away in the vault in the right wing of the castle. She ran to the corridor and looked at Luna out the window. She had started the spell and a dark cloud was starting to fill the air. She ran for the vault and used her horn to open it. Releasing the elements stored away in their. The only thing that made her worry was that Luna was not using the elements with her this time. She didn’t know if they would work alone only for her. She ran outside Soarin still on the ground.

She looked back up to Luna and tried to think of a spell that would work. Luna was almost done covering the sky in never ending darkness. She just got the elements ready and shot a beam from her horn not knowing what the consequences would come of this spell. The elements lit up as if they did respond. As if the elements knew she was trying to save her friend, her other half of harmony. They all shot a beam following Celestia’s beam and it hit Luna directly. Celestia looked up and saw her sister flying forming into a ball of light, straight to the moon. When she flew through the clouds the sky cleared and the moon then had a mysterious mare shaped mark on it. “What have I done…”

She ran into the library trying to find the spell she used on her little sister. She searched every book she had read, but nothing was found. Then she remembered. There was a spell in the book Luna had that she saw how to use. She used that spell. She ran to Luna’s room grabbing the book reading the page. “No… I… I just sent my sister to the moon… for a thousand years! I didn’t want this! I wanted my old sister back! You stupid elements! Why did you do this to her! My own little sister… The one thing that made me smile everyday…” Celestia couldn’t believe it. Not seeing her sister for a thousand years. She then realized that she is still Nightmare moon. She had to do something. She looked at the elements and realized who she had to go to. She had to talk to the fortune teller and find out what she had to do to get her sister back.

She went to the fortune teller eyes full of tears. “Ah Celestia I foretold you that you would come on this very day”, the fortune teller said. “No time for this Cookie I need you help on how to get my sister back”, Celestia said. Cookie then told her what she must do, “You must wait the thousand years for her return. There are four stars in the sky when they come together on the moon a thousand years from now she will rise, but not as Luna. As Nightmare Moon! What you must do is reach these six pony families and spread the elements powers on them.

I have a map ready for your journey. When your sister returns these six ponies will save your sister from the darkness and return to you her former self that you miss.” Celestia looked down and said “Okay… I will do this task, but why wait for her return is there no way to get her back now.” Cookie looked out the window and told her, “The spell you used is from olden times. It was used to banish those who have disobeyed the law. There is no way to get her back. A counter spell has never been found, and no one wanted to find one either it was meant to banish the law breaker for a thousand years, no more, no less.” Celestia took the map and went home. She learned the spell Luna used to raise the moon so she would be able to do it now until her sisters return. She gathered everything she needed and set out to take care of the task she had at hand.
