The two Royal Sisters have never spoke of their past, but now Celestia reveals the truth...

For Centuries, Queen Sun and King Moon ruled the land of Equestria. Queen Sun would use her powerful magic to make the sky light, giving all of her subjects a bright and cheerful day. King Moon would later use his magic to darken the sky and offer his subjects a peaceful and quiet night. They ruled like this for quite some time. But then, the prophecy came. And things were never the same for any of us ever again. Sometimes I lay awake in bed at night and wonder why this had to happen. But now, it is time to reveal the truth about our past, and how we came to be. This is the story of me and my sister Luna.

Luna

     I waited outside on one of the many balconies in our grand castle with my father, King Moon. He was very tall with a pitch black coat and large wings pointed at the tip. He wore light blue armor, a helmet and large shoes that went up almost halfway up his long, strong legs at the front. He had a mane and tail of deep sparkling blue that seemed to wave out in all directions. Right now he sat with me with a concerned look on his face. We stared off into the lands of Equestria, deep in thought. After a while I asked,"Father?" He looked down at me with his large blue eyes. "Yes, Celestia?" "Is Mother gonna be okay?" the edges of his mouth curved up in a small grin, but he still had a worried look in his eyes. "of course, she just needs...time." I sighed and stared out at the land again. Later on, after what seemed like hours of waiting, one of the many while stallions that was called the Royal Guard stepped out and dipped his head to us. "The Queen requests you to come to the nursery, your Highness." Father stood up and dipped his head in return. "Thank you," he replied. He turned to me and beckoned me inside with his large black wing. "Follow me," he said and we walked down many corridors until we finally stopped at a room I had never seen before, but this was common because back then I hadn't even seen half of the many rooms in the castle. Inside the room was my mother, Queen Sun, smiling and standing next to a small crib. I coundnt see what was inside so I strained my neck to look, but I still couldn't see. "Celestia," Mother said, "I want you to meet your sister, Luna." "Sister?" I asked. "I don't have a..." I gasped. "I have a SISTER!" And from that moment on I knew that I would love her forever, as the love that I had felt for her then and AJ still feel today is powerful enough to feed a thousand Changelings for years.

Not like I'd let them, though.

The prophecy

One peaceful night, my mother had a strange dream. She explained it to me once before the incident... She had recongnized it as a prophecy dream that spoke of fear, betrayal and hate in the night. This was not the night we knew of. We knew a night that was filled with peace, and we thought of it as a blessing that allowed us to rest peacefully. But in this dream, this one dream that had changed our world forever, the Night was ruled by a truly evil spirit. She said she had saw a pony that looked just like Father. And then whispers that muttered of one who will betray us all. Mother believed that this meant that Father would go bad and bring everlasting g night. Knowing from her eons of experience that prophecies were always correct in the most Unexpected ways, she regretfully tried to destroy father.

I awoke to the sound of a crash. Careful not to wake my precious sister, I crept outside onto one of the many balconies at the Palace. Mother and Father were standing at the posts when they usually made the sky dark and light, but they were facing each other, Father's face full of confusion and Mother's showing no emotion. I flew off the balcony as quick as I could down to them to see what was the matter. As I flew down, however, mother's horn began to glow with orange light and I was blow back by an invisible force. "Celestia!" Father cried and ran toward me, but mother stopped him with another blast of magic. Father's eyes now grew with rage, and his horn began to glow with a dark aura as he aimed at mother. In response her horn lit up as well, and they both stood tall, preparing for a fight. At the same time, they both fired the two spells that would change the world forever, two spells that we will never teach any living soul. Both alicorns were thrown back at the force of their opponent's magic so fast they were just a blur. I cried out but it was useless over the sound of  the blasts that rang all through Equestria. In an instant unicorn guards were teleporting ,Pegasi guards flying, and earth pony guards galloping towards the scene at top speed. I tried to stand up, but I was still weak from being hit by Mother's spell and my knees collapsed from under me. The guard were still trying to figure out what had happened, but one saw me and called out, and instantly I was carried back into the castle by unicorn guards. Then everything went black...
