Year 100

We have no knowledge on how long we have been on this rock, but we know its nothing compared to thy immortal soul, but for how long is a life sentence for whom who never dies? We look to the world, pinpoint Equestria and can almost make out the castle with our own eyes, full of the ones we once ruled, of which we dread the very idea of making contact with again. When we are free we shall make the world suffer my pain in eternal night, then banish precious Celestia to the sun and watch her burn to ash at our hands. The stars are my only companions now, we talk to them, we tell them our secrets and act as if they could hear us and speak back, sometimes we feel as if they do, but, of course if they ever happen to say anything against our wishes we may simply aim our horn into its center and fire a blast of darkness into its core until it dies and is just as dark and decollete as the earth after we tend to it.

Year 500

Thy speak while we sleep! The bones, the stars, THE LIES THEY EXCHANGE OF THEE! we can hear them once we are on the very brink of sleep, the bones, they say we are EVIL, they say we are CRAZY! the stars, the stars disagree. the argument betwixt sanity and insanity raged between the bones and stars same as  in our very own head. until the stars were beaten and agreed upon the lies formed by the bones.  we were then enraged to the point of standing and crushing the evil bones into a fine dust under our hooves. we warned  the stars to change their ways or suffer the same fate as the bones... but they didn't listen, THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE ME! they said we were TOO WEAK to go through with the deed. WE HAD TO DO IT! WE HAD TO MAKE THEM PAY FOR THE PAIN THEY HAD PUT US THROUGH! we aimed our horn to the center of the lead star and shot it out of the sky and into dust  which layered itself upon the moon. the other stars were scared, begging not to be hurt,BEGGING! we have decided that from the kindness of our heart to spare the other stars for now, or at least until they commit another crime against their leader.

Year 700

today we destroyed yet another star... their numbers are thinning... as if they will continue calling me evil until i have to kill every single one of them, but if that is what needs to be done, it shall be done.  we try looking back to the earth for the first time in, i don't know how long... but we cant see it. the light from the stars is depleted to to the point to where it takes skillful eyes to see just a few yards in front of us. DAMN STARS! its your fault we cant see our own hoof in front of our face... no... no its not... its Celestia's... ITS ALL HER FAULT!  ITS HER FAULT WE ARE HERE! THIS JOURNAL IS A POINTLESS ACT! NO ONE WILL EVER READ IT, AND IF SOMEONE EVER DOES THEY TOO WOULD BE TRAPPED HERE FOR ALL ETERNITY! no... we are not crazy... WE ARE NOT CRAZY! these infuriating stars JUST WONT STOP! tonight we will make our move, TO FINISH OFF THE STARS... TO END THE MADNESS!

Year 1000

HAHA... they didn't think we would do it... they didn't think we would, but we did... they are all gone now. WE TOLD THEM WE ARE NOT CRAZY, BUT THEY DIDN'T LISTEN! so they had to pay with their lives, how sad. the darkness is more soothing then the light being radiated by them filthy stars anyway... in the distance i see, i see a beam of light heading this way... we don't know where it is coming from, but it is there... i bet its Celestia sending me back... HAHAHA FOOL! we will get a good nights sleep tonight, for in the morning we may be home, then it is time for those dirty foals to pay.

Day 1

For what reason would thine sister treat thy with such tyranny as this? we acquire our power to take our ponies to bigger and better things, for who should not wish to rule the world if they possibly may? Yet, after trying to help, our subjects shun us and Celestia banishes us to the moon. What Celestia seems not to understand is that sending us to the moon is much like an angered parent sending a foal to their chambers only to be forgiven and released to cause more trouble. She has to forgive us, everyone knows that she is a lover and not a fighter; she has won not a single fight without US by HER side. Discord would have trapped HER in stone if WE weren't there to stop him, but now WE are stuck in this, damned place as SHE receives ALL of the credit for ALL of OUR work… but we digress, we must digress, for we are royalty whether we are here or in our castle. When we are free we will once again rise in power and the world shalt be how it shall.

Year 300

At this day we have decided to temporarily leave our companionship with the stars and to travel to the darkened portion of the moon into complete and utter darkness, with the exception of a faint  glow from the tip of our horn. After hours of travel in tranquil silence, the only noise being of our hooves beating upon the moons rocky surface, we came across an object of which when accidentally stepped on made an unfamiliar cracking sound. In wonder we picked the object up in our aura and turned back to the lighted side of the moon to examine it further. Upon reaching the light we discover said objects we carried the long distance to be bones, bones of a creature I have yet to identify. With the stars guiding me with kind words I placed the bones into a figure until it seemed complete. four appendages, forelegs much shorter then hind must give this creature an awkward stance when living, it also has five fingers and toes at the end of each appendage much like a small dragon, and a round head with no type of muzzle structure. It is still unknown to us what this creature may be, but for now it joins the family with us and the stars.
