I just like Ponyphonic's stuff! Story, from the original "The Moon Rises": "Just as she promised, Luna stood her ground and refused to lower the moon. Faced with the collapse of the delicate order they had worked so hard to build, Celestia was forced to do the unthinkable. Unable to fully utilize of the elements of harmony by herself, she used a fraction of their power to imprison her sister in the moon, saving the world, but at a terrible cost. The harmonic bond between sun and moon was broken forever; now, the elements lie dormant, awaiting new bearers. In time, the darkness in Luna's heart will begin to wane, but with it, so will the sealing spell that holds her in the moon. In a thousand years, she will escape, weakened but still powerful, and the world can only hope that new ponies will be found who can wield the elements and save Luna from herself. But Celestia's thoughts turn again to the present. It will be centuries before she can see her sister again, and for that, she blames herself. Surely she had seen the signs? She thinks over and over of the things she might have said and done differently. But despite her own sadness, she also longs to reach out and comfort Luna, and in this mix of bitterness, tenderness, and very distant hope, she looks to the moon and begins to sing." I decided to add a tiny Luna section to this song, and here's my little story behind it: Having been banished to the moon, the place she loved the most, Luna has had a little time by herself. Though Nightmare Moon still is dominant in her, a piece of her still exists of the sweeter moon princess. In this respect, the kinder side of Luna is now locked away in two respects: in her body where she is currently drowned out by darkness, as well as being imprisoned in the moon, unable to make friends with others. What you hear are the thoughts I imagine might be held by this nicer, though currently suppressed side. I hope you enjoy this little duet! I may put a download link up for this one. Maaybe. -------------------------------------------------------- CELESTIA: Fate has been cruel and order unkind How can I have sent you away? The blame was my own; the punishment, yours The harmony's silent today But into the stillness I'll bring you a song And I will your company keep Till your tired eyes and my lullabies Have carried you softly to sleep Once did a pony who shone like the sun Look out on her kingdom and sigh She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony So lovely and so well beloved as I" So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory That long was the shadow she cast Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved And grew only darker as days and nights passed Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine And rest now in moonlight's embrace Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth Through cloud, and through sky, and through space Carry the peace and the coolness of night And carry my sorrow in kind Luna, you're loved so much more than you know Forgive me for being so blind LUNA: Sister, my sister, why couldn't you see that I hadn't been given my due Why did you ignore all my cries for attention And now, here in darkness, I really miss you CELESTIA: But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly Takes hold of the mind of its host And that foolish pony did nothing to stop The destruction of one who had needed her most Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine (Here in my prison I wait) And rest now in moonlight's embrace (For the day I am finally set free) Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth (Why did you lock me away?) Through cloud, and through sky, and through space (Are my thoughts true? You really hate me?) Carry the peace and the coolness of night (All that I wanted was ponies' respect) And carry my sorrow in kind (You weren't understanding and kind) Luna, you're loved so much more than you know (You punished me for just wanting some friends) May troubles be far from your mind (Why did you have to be so blind?) And forgive me for being so blind (Won't forgive you for being so blind) The years now before us Fearful and unknown I never imagined I'd face them on my own May these thousand winters Swiftly pass, I pray I love you; I miss you All these miles away May all your dreams be sweet tonight Safe upon your bed of moonlight And know not of sadness, pain, or care And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there Sleep...
