"I will ask but once more, my sister. Lower the moon, or I will have to send you away." A tear rolled down Celestia's alabaster face as she repeated her warning over again. The black mare before her only grinned, showing white teeth accompanied by sharp canines. Her midnight blue ethereal mane and glowing eyes gave the mare a frightening presence.

The mare simply laughed. "Thou art but a foal! You're dear sister tis no more. All that remains tis I, Nightmare Moon." She grinned at Celestia mockingly. "And with thine new found power, the night will last forever!" The mare laughed wickedly, sending chills down Celestia's spine.

"Then you leave me no choice, " Celestia frowned at the weight of her decision. "I must send you away. To the moon. For one thousand years." Celestia could barely speak. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes. Sorrow choked at her, making it hard to speak, but still, she did what she had to.

Spreading her front hooves apart, Celestia prepared to attack. Her movements were cut short, however, as a black bolt of energy sent her hurtling into the castle wall. As Celestia dropped to the ground, Nightmare Moon laughed. She looked down on the white princess as she stood over her, grinning triumphantly.

Celestia slowly lifted herself up, only to be slammed to the ground by the black mare. "Thou truly art weak,” the nightmarish princess taunted. "Tis a wondrous feat that anypony looks upon thou with respect. Thou art but an insect."

Celestia kicked out at the mare, as her anger grew. Her kick sent Nightmare Moon stumbling backwards. "You will pay for your crimes against Equestria!" Celestia stood firm, a golden aura engrossing her horn. Suddenly a golden beam shot from the princess, towards the mare.

Seeing what was coming, Nightmare Moon let out a shriek of horror. Quickly thinking she made a midnight blue shield around herself, but it was no match. As she was engulfed by a brilliant gold, the mare screamed out. "Celestia! Please stop!" But as the last words slipped from her mouth, a bright flash lit the room.

When Celestia opened her eyes, she was alone. Tears began to fall from her face as she looked where her sister had been only moments ago. "Forgive me, Luna." With a glance at the sky, Celestia sighed before raising the sun. She could only hope that her sister would find some joy in her new surroundings.

Author's Note

This is just to tell how Luna got to Thedus...
P.S. After this, there is no definate story line... so, Luna may know people in one chapter and not know them in the next. Definitely no chronological order. Sorry.
