Rainbow Dash
Nothing will ever be the same again. The sisters of balance are at war. Equestria is scarred and broken. I never thought it would come to this, I served under Luna's court believing I could make a difference.
The Broken War is based on two sides, the sun and the moon. Originally, Luna Thought Equestria would be stronger if broken into two. She wanted the second part to rule over. Celestia refused. Years and years went by, and each time Luna asked, there was no way she could of ever gain land.
Then came the last straw: Luna eventually gathered up all of the fillies in Manehattan and took them to a secret part of Equestria she had found. The fillies eventually were full grown, and generations of families passed. Luna had finally achieved what she had wanted. But not for long.
Celestia found the large families and the order. She knew what had happened, immediately. War began, clash over clash.
Princess Celestia and Luna thought that the Elements of Harmony wold help again. The six of us were believed to be a powerful defense. Two years ago, their choice would have been a benefit. Now, there is no way out. The six of us are split apart, torn.. The Elements of Harmony, they believed, could give them a fighting edge and win the war. However, as the years went by, we all were fading, the elements dying right before us.
Torn between her friends and her duties to Princess Celestia, Twilight turned to Canterlot. Fluttershy- the war caused her to retreat away in her cottage. Rarity was no better, She left to her boutique to design and pursue her dream. Applejack struggled to help the Apple family to harvest. I- well, I decided to join the Wonderbolts- the thing I wanted since I was a filly.
Princess Luna, a year later, brought us to the same place as Twilight, believing that we could help her, as long as we swore a pact to serve her and her only, to the last beat of our hearts.
The pact I made to Luna made me give up my dream- I could never be a Wonderbolt, to live with freedom, my wings as a guide. All for the horn that distinguished me as an alicorn. I hope Soarin leads well.
I haven't seen Rarity or Applejack since our coronation day. Princess Celestia has made Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie lead the same destiny.
Both alicorns thought they had to win. Princess Celestia sent Fluttershy with Twilight to Ponyville to help her in the war. Applejack and Rarity pledge to the goddess of the moon. Pinkie Pie upholds the Crystal Empire. Without me.
What none of the rulers realized was that the elements are fading because we are being kept apart form one another. As we grew alone, what was there. What channels us? Our friendship. And now we don't even have that anymore.
I broke my promise to Luna. I realized that I was important to the war only... And Skyla, the poor princess... What that Red gaze did to her... I've been alone ever since. Pinkie Pie has to counsel Princess Cadance alone. When she found out what had happened to her daughter, she was never the same. I feel bad for leaving the Crystal Empire in Pinkie Pie's hooves, but we both had different pledges.
Princess Skyla personally reminded me of Scootaloo. Already angered that Luna was using me, seeing that precious life just... ripped... Gone. I had to give up my dreams, fight for an empire with endless killing. That's when I snapped. I left everything I knew, because what was the point?
From what I've heard, Twilight and Fluttershy both hide in Ponyville, afraid to go into the wave of battle, their new horns and wings useless. Rarity is locked in Canterlot's battles. Applejack tries to feed the poor, using her stubborness to not use he horns and wings. Pinkie Pie is alone, trying to guide Cadence out of her grief and trooping soldiers. Everyone is fighting for their life, locked in endless battle.
As much as we hate it, going back is futile. We'll have to save ourselves now.
