The Sorrow of the Sun and the Moon Part 5

"The happy do not seem to suffer, but that mostly is furthest from the truth

-Unknown"

Spike woke up to find Twilight rocking back in forth on the ground near her bed. "Twilight! are you ok!?!" Twilight kept rocking, "Twilight! get yourself together! your fine!" "i'm being taught by a monster" "what? I didn't hear you."

"I'M BEING TAUGHT BY A MONSTER" Twilight started to cry again, all Spike could do was attempt to comfort the hysterical mare, " i don't understand, unless you mean somepony else I don't know about, then I have no idea" "Celestia... she's not what she seems to be...She's insane!" Twilight stood up and brushed off the tears "i need to confront her. Now" Spike got up and kind of knew to get away from Twilight, almost as he knew she was going to teleport. "geez, she leaves for three days, comes back for a night, then leaves again! and without me!" a large charred mark surrounded where the alicorn had teleported from.

Luna and Celestia had stayed up that winter night, in their warm comfy nest, They were admiring the stars that night, Luna had put a lot of work into them after getting back. Celestia had Tea while Luna was trying out a newer concoction; soda Cola to be specific. "Sister, are you sure this is what ponies put down their gullets today" Luna ex aimed the alien aluminum cylinder, "yes, I'm sure of it. Just be careful the it might-" The can exploded with fizz as Luna pried it open "explode..." a simple spell cleaned up the mess, Luna was afraid of the can now "we have decided that we would no longer like to try this concoction" Celestia had been showing Luna the inventions that had come about sense she was banished. "Luna, I promise it won't hurt you", as soon as the words left her mouth, Luna picked it up, and sipped "it's... AMAZING" Luna then chugged the whole can. "I think you've had enough" Celestia lifted it from her sister hooves and Luna began to follow it around like a cat following a bird. Eventually Luna got it again and the whole process started over again, but this time when Luna had finished it, she chased Celestia around "GIVE ME THE REST!" "I DON'T HAVE MORE" "GIVE IT TO MEEEEEE". "your Highness there's somepony waiting for you- what are you doing?" the guard looked over at Luna pushing on Celestia face with her hoof to reach the half-empty can of Cola, the two sister got off of each other an straightened up. The two sister's untied their hair,which they put up to keep it out of the way, and their manes began to flow again. After cleaning up a bit, the two rushed out the door and their guards followed behind them. Although the sisters could handle themselves, Levier had always taught them "better to be safe then sorry", the sister walked calmly but quickly through the hallways to their throne room to find Twilight there, standing with her mane in front of her face, head down, and body almost trembling, her wings rustled a bit with anxiety. "Twilight!" the two sisters loosened up a bit at the sight of their dear friend, Celestia walked over to hug her student, but was pushed back before she was able to. Celestia's expression changed when she did this, while Luna's eyes only widened. "Twilight, are you ok? is something wrong?" the deepest tone of concern came form the white mare. "you...why didn't- why didn't you ever-" Twilight had trouble talking because her voice was choked up with fear, but also sadness. "Twilight?" Celestia sat down in front of faithful student, "Your a monster! to think I ever even trusted you! how dare you! I can't believe you! you monster! those finale words dripped off her tongue like savage poison. The words hit the White mare's ears with the power of lightning. Celestia trembled and her mane began to stop flowing, it completely stopped, she spit of some blood, then some more, Akiklir had tried to get her to hit her student, but she couldn't, and she wouldn't. "How could you ever act so kind and loving! your just a phony! you lie and cheat to get your way! you'dd kill just to get your way, or because their annoying! how could you! your just a monster! the more she spoke the more Blood came from Celestia spat. No one stopped her, they stood in silence, watching the Purple mare spit her darts full of hatred at the beloved princess. Tears fell from Celestia's face like rain does in the spring. More angry words came from Twilight. Eventually it had cursing thrown into it. Twilight never swore, this only re-assured Celestia that one of her most beloved subjects and friends had turned on her, like many did before. But who could blame Twilight? she loved Celestia, Celestia was her teacher, her princess, she had guided Twilight every single step of the way, but the image when she thought of Celestia;calm caring, loving, kind the list went on, had been turned upside down. Twilight was ok with change, but this was too much for her. when the Purple mare was finally done, Celestia looked up. Her  chin had been covered with blood, a little vomit in fact, her mane had no longer flowed, for it was filled with sorrow. She looked into her student's eyes, looking for something; she was looking for the Twilight she once knew and loved, not the anger filled mare that stood in front of her. But she could not find it. It was dried,gone,buried. Just not there, only anger filled her face, the tears she shed before were long gone. And Celestia did not blame her. Not one single bit. Luna stepped forward, then got closer, and then a little more, and then a little more, until she was right besides her sister. The two said nothing. Luna helped her elder sister up, and Twilight just looked at her like,what are you doing? her eyes told Luna enough though, she carried her sister on her shoulder. This was the night Celestia had first had Akiklir inside of her. Luna carefully put her sister into bed, "don not fear sister, I will try to save her"  Celestia said in quiet voice "Luna, I'm sorry, you were right. She wasn't ready for this. No one ever has." Luna looked at her sister, although Celestia was taller than Luna, she seemed so small then. "Princess, do you need us to come with you?" "No, leave, we have some discussion to do with Princess Twilight." the guards of both Solar and Lunar bowed and left. "dearest sister, I will try, I must do this" Twilight sat where exactly where she was when yelling at her Teacher- or former. She stared at the spot where Celestia sat and let Twilight yell at her, feeling of doubt crept over her,was that too far? she spat up blood, no that was probably just Akiklir or she was faking it... they quickly subsided as Luna ran towards her. Luna's come to defend her sister...great Twilight stood up and faced Luna, the Largeness of the Throne room stared to creep in as she noticed they were alone. Luna stood in front of Twilight, she looked like she wanted to say something, but not exactly sure what to say or even how to say it. "Twilight... I know- I know your...upset-but that thing is not My sister. I thought you would understand that." "Upset...UPSET!?! your just as good as Celestia Luna, you lie just like her too, making everyone feel better with your words." Luna held back the tears but then she though,if she was lying she would have said we, right?but she never said we... "I know... me and my sister... aren't the best ponies...but we do...we do try to-to" Luna could not hold back the sob, she began to cry, just like Celestia, she ran away though, she couldn't deal with the fact that of all ponies Twilight had said those hurtful words. "ME AND MY SISTER ARE NOT THE MONSTER TWILIGHT! TIS' YOU! YOU AND YOUR WORDS FULL OF POISON!" Luna ran to the hooves of her sister, her had somehow managed to gather enough strength to stumble back to the Throne room. Celestia grabbed her sister and hugged her just as mother would do a child, then it hit twilight like a rockshe does care, I just didn't see it she silently comforted her sister, who sputtered and waled. Twilight left the court room, she didn't say anything. She walked all the way back to Ponyville, she flew a bit, but after a while she just trudged, her head down, face covered and just trudged. "ME AND MY SISTER ARE NOT THE MONSTER TWILIGHT! TIS' YOU!" those words flew around Twilight's head for hours as she walked, she felt awful. She flew into the tree house to find Spike asleep,she fell onto her bed as Fatigue and plain sadness over came her. She fell asleep as soon a the sun rose, thinking of her mentor and the words she spoke while she was in the Throne word... And she finally got it through her thick skull that Celestia was not evil, but it was Twilight who truly could be if she wanted.
