Celestia... do you remember-the faces..." "the faces of who?" The night Guard, the ones that you- I killed. "Akikilr, there has not been a day since I haven't remember their scorched remains" Celestia was sipping Tea inside the first plane with Akikilr, she looked like a dragon almost in the first plane, most living creature's looked different; their case was hollow, their bones mainly seemed to make up it, but they bones instead of their color being that of blood, they were the color that they associated themselves with, like how Applejack was orange, FlutterShy was yellow, but other beings that are not so alive, took to their true form here, Luna was also a dragon of sorts. Discord however looked like himself also, he never was given a true form, so he got to decide what he looked like, his soul needed it's case; if he did not choose quickly, he would lose himself like many others. Her long sharp claws reached for the tea sitting across from her, but she had a bit of trouble get her fingers around it, so eventually she just leaned down to sip it. Akiklir smiled, something he doesn't do very often, well at least a kind smile. Memories flooded Celestia as she thought of the Night guard, their scorched and mangled bodies littered the ground they fell from, only the structures that held the wing membrane remained. "So, Celestia, do you ever think that anyone will know about your true form other than your family? no even StarSwirl knew, so will you tell that-your studentabout it? i'm guessing probably not" "not right now, she's had trouble handling this, let alone handling anything else, as time progresses we will go along with it" Celestia pondered about Twilight, but it only made her sad. Twilight had said some extremely hurtful words to Celestia that night. Celestia still was not mad at her though, not even disappointed, she had expected something like this, but this was not at all what she expected from twilight, she was a kind pony that had the capacity to try to understand ponies so different from her, "guess Celestia had put too much faith in her this time." Akikilr wrote down. He used a small spell to send it back to wherever he kept his stuff, and talked with Celestia for awhile, eventually Luna came in and they all had a nice chat, it was strange, Luna at one point despised him, but now it was almost like they were old friends. It was strange almost, Luna had always thought Akikilr would never change, he would always thought he'd be crazy,he'd always wanted to kill her, but now it was almost being In Celestia's soul case had soothed some of his neurotic tendencies. He had thanked the sisters many times for calming him- he had been through a situation much like their own, but instead, he went mad and destroyed his own plane-he thought if he couldn't deal with it, why not destroy it? But he decided after feeling the sorrows of Celestia, he would not lose control again, he would try his hardest to save himself from himself. But occasionally, he would lose himself, that was when Celestia was most vulnerable, that was when his whispers of insanity got to her, she had tried hard to ignore them also. In a way, they had helped each other all along. Luna found it a shock when she found out about Akikilr, she was alarmed and scared of her sister, but a long time ago, she had came to terms that Celestia and Akikilr were in the same body, therefore she must also accept that he is apart of her dear Celestia. She did everything she could to defend her sister, even though almost no one knew. Discord though, knew all too well, the three enjoyed their chat, talking about everything to how lovely the stars were, to the sunset, anything really, they even made jokes about some of the court officials. "Iris Ink is alittle star crazy, isn't she? I can understand though how her authority has en-biggened her head" Luna had said after also having difficulty with her tea, although he enjoyed the sugary beverage known as Coke, in the first plane there was only a few substances that they could "eat" the food and refreshments that they could consume had no value, only that they tasted good. While Akikilr laughed a bit (more than normal at least) and Celestia smiled at her little sister. Eventually it came time to raise the Sun and lower the Moon. They had to leave the First plane and returned to their equine form, "it always aches to turn from one form to another doesn't it sister" "yes, but at least it's not like we're transforming into something like a serpent or a fish, now that would that would be painful" the two chuckled to themselves a bit and went about raising or lowering their celestial bodies, a new day had dawned, a new idea or lesson,a new opportunity, anything could happen, for now a new day aired, the past became the past.

"The greatest love is not for materials or riches, it is for the Love of others, but in some ways- those who do not, only know of tragedy, and loss of others- but also of themselves"
-Levier Aldona
"My only fear of myself is my ability to heal others- I mean this by that sometimes my compassion leads my loves to sadness- my demise will most likely be caused by my love- but that's ok, because I will leave saving the people I love"
-Levier Aldona
"I am but a wilted flower, the former shell of a beautiful petal- I was made to protect this planet's life force- but now I only am able to watch as the day burns my mother and my own's hard yet tragic work. I am sorry I have failed you"
-Levier Aldona
"I was not able to stop her, the beast inside her ate at her- slowly consuming her from the inside out- and I could only watch my plants cry out in agony, little water left-all that was, was stagnant and poorly- I have failed"
-Levier Aldona
" I can only watch her, the shell of a mare I once knew. She is consumed by anger, I have failed"
-Levier Aldona
"I am but a wilted flower, whose petals have burned away- I have failed her, and the ponies I loved also"
-Levier Aldona
"I have chased the Sun,to let my shadows fall behind, but I am only waiting my time,I have failed Luna and Celestia, I could not save them,I have failed."
-Levier Aldona
"The plants have stopped crying. They have stopped doing anything really. I believe they have finally given up. I cannot help them- I have failed everyone I know, especially Celestia and Luna, Celestia let herself get lost in his insanity, she tried so hard to ignore him, she lost herself when Discord took Luna from her, Celestia was so heartbroken, her kindness melted into hatred- I have failed her, I have failed my only task-I was supposed to protect this planet, I m sorry, I have failed everything"
-:Levier Aldona
"I have, I have not, I am not, I cannot, I cannot defeat him, not with Luna being his "puppet" he confronted me last night- no midnight-sun I tried to save her from him, Luna was so happy to see me but the excitement turned to fear as he lifted her up by her chains and played with her like a cat plays with a mouse, she was tiny, so weak, he had only just kept her alive- then Celestia- or a figure like her came through, she stamped her hoof down and commanded Discord to give her back, but he would not- the Moon could not raise without Luna- Celestia at the time was too young to do it herself, that's when it got violent. The fire circled around her, while the spirit of Chaos would only watch, his smirk quickly faded though, after becomes that *thing she charged Discord, The battle raged on for what seemed like hours, but I could not do anything. I have never felt so weak and helpless in my life. Then by the end, Discord had left with his wounds, and Luna and the LightMare remained, Luna yelled at the creature, she lost control over her emotions, "you're a monster!'," You're not my sister" the beast, unbeknownst to Luna, the creature cried, it's sorrowful sobs whispered through it's helmet- I will not write this, I have failed"*
