Dust roar over the land, no sign of life as it was a thousand years ago, before we awoke from our last nap from our last nap. It was strange, unlike our other nap, we remember everything, and what we remember was nothing, absolutely nothing, as soon as we close our eyes, we open then, we know we slap, Luna know she slap, but we did not dream.
No... Say it's not so, we can't lose the only thing, that bring us a bit of emotion, there was no reason for us to return to slumber if it going to be like that. Is that what death is like. A no dream state of dreams, while we were in that state we did not fear it, but once waken from it…
It scares use, as my sister is overcome with sorrow; Luna starts to sob, right when we realize there was no confronting to sleep the time away. For me, it just spoke one thing, there is truly nothing now. Dreams were the only thing keeping us from feeling empty, from loneness, form reality...
My sister set their sobbing away, how could she cry, we having had a drink of water... I don't even remember what water taste like, felt like, it's almost like it did not existence... Will in our case, it didn't, not any more. The only taste we have is, dry hot and sand.
I thought what I could do to comfort her, and then I thought what it matters. Why I even found it, to entertaining, setting their watching my sister cry, let me think, gave me something to think about, keep my mind from the reality around me, the same reality that is doing this to her.
For most of the time I just set there, looking at her, saying nothing, because there is nothing to be said, what could I said, I forgotten the last time I even use my voice, I think it was when Luna ask me something in the dark.
That when it dawn on me, she is my sister, my little sister, who is in pain, and I'm just thinking of just letting her set there in the bone cutting cool alone, and crying.
I walk up and set beside her, spreading my wings out, I heard a pop, it been so long sense I use them. I cover my sister with it, she instantly lean on me, digging in my fur with her face, hug my mid-section, and cry. She cries as if doing so would have made everything better.
After a while she stop crying but we did not separate or better yet, she did not want to let go, it felt as if she was cling on to something just by holding me, I did not want to ruin her futile effect.
We stud there, time is lost to use, so there is no use to gusting how long, it could have been hours, days, years, century, who knows.
I'm still a sister, and as an older sister, I must do something. That when it dawn on me, I can gave her one thing, one thing that we cannot give our self, that time cannot gave to us, as it did to so many other. I try to speak, but no sound came out, any sound, just air, having not used it for so long, I try again managing to get the words out this time. "Luna." It was dry, and cracking, breaking almost.
"Yes" Luna reply with a tire vocal core. " How would you like to lay to rest for an eternally?" "What's the point we can't dream anymore." "I mean death." I seeing Luna eyes pop open, and her face expression after raising her head from my chest, it spoke confusion, fear, and other emotion I have forgotten what they feel or look like. The only reason I know those two and a few other, because of Luna being here to remind me of them.
Luna just set their and stare at me, then spoke again. "We can't die sister, we can never die; you even try for yourself." Luna reply, her voice cracking. "There is a way, the only thing that can kill us, is each other. I can kill you Luna, I can drain you of your magic, and you will be gone from this torture that is called immortal." I spoke, in a void tone. "I don't know sister, I understand why you speak that, I do, but I still feel fear of what's after death…"
I cut her off. "It's the Great Plains my sister, there you can be reunited with those who we have forgotten" Luna reply is "How you know that, sister, how are you sure." I look in to the void of nothing, "I know because I know what the plain truly is, it magic, energy, pure energy, with in it, contain those who have borrow from it, those who was born from it, they are giving eternal bless, A plain that stretch and grow as far as the number of being that join in it. There is nothing to fear my little sister."
Luna cast her gaze upon me, her eyes carry only a small percent of hope in them, you would need eyes of a god to see them, or of a goddess. While my eyes, contain nothing but void.
Luna spoke up sounding like she was about to cry. "But then what about you sister? If you going to kill me, then who will kill you?" I'll her truth, to make her see reason, the reason we both should not have suffer. "Don't worry my sister, I'll stay here." Tears start to stream down Luna face, as she spoke I can hear the pain she felt, both in her heart and throat. "If I go, then you'll be truly alone, I know we are alone, but were alone together, we suffer to gather, we cry to gather…"
I love my sister, even if the feel might be small, I feel something for her, even if that feeling of my, is somehow fading away. But I know I still have love for her. So I'll do anything I could do, while I still have that little love for her, that little light in the depth of my heart, devour my darkness. I knew what must be said to a least to attempt to free her, and that is tell her the truth.
"Luna…" I spoke, knowing that this might bring her to more tears, but hopefully the end result is that she'll accept my proposer. "The truth of the matter is I feel nothing, even my love for you is small, and fading, I thought of this before, but could never bring myself to killing you, but that's when we told each other, 'as long as we have each other, we will be okay, as long as we stay to gather, we will be okay.' But I know now, that what we said to each other, was not hope, but plead, plead that it'll be truth, a plead that will be alright down the line, that we will find a way to deal with this. But now I know that it was a stall, to stalls us from meeting the inevitable, from keeping us from seeing the truth of the matter. "
"No!" Luna shouts, she starts to cry again, she start burring her head back into my coat. I only continue. " Luna, you can tell that I'm void, if any light you see from me, is the small light that is fading from me, and that light is your love, thee love I have for you. Let me be a big sister, If only one last time, so I may relive that feel, that I have forgotten so long ago, even for a brief moment… Luna, let me be a big sister again, like all those times forgotten, let me relive one of them, refresh it or a least try to refresh it, let me help my little sister be happy, find peace."
Luna only cry, and cry and cry, until she could not cry any more, but did not break from our embrace, did not turn her head from my coat, and I was not about to push her away, we just stood there like statues. Not moving a single muscle.
For most of the time, I just looked down at the top of her head, saying nothing, we set their, in the same position, not moving, breathing as calmly as we can be. How long we set their under the moon, who knows, when the goddess of the sun and moon does not keep to their task, how can any pony keep up time.
Luna set there thinking it over, unlike her sister me, who have given up on life and death all together, losing everything, even the loss of losing. Luna still felt fear for what lay ahead of her. She set their looking into the depth of space. While I just set beside her, while her own mind wonder in the abyss of her mind. My own mind fell with nothing, no thought, no plus, my eyes as hollow as my soon to be heart.
Luna lifts her head, and asks "Will it hurt?" I turn to her eyes, gave her a weak smile and said "No. you'll feel no pain, just tire, that's all, you'll close your eyes for the last time, and drift off to the Great Plains.
"I don't know sister, I just can't leave you here by yourself, I can't, if you are not to follow me there, then I will stand by your side, and as always we'll suffer together." Luna spoke in a cracking voice. I stare into my sister eyes, I could not let her suffer any longer, I can't not, while I still having feeling for her, as a big sister to a little sister, I must protect her, while my heart feel some kind of love for her.
"There is away for me to follow you there." I spoke. "What? Then why did you not say anything about it?" Luna spoke up, with a confuse expression. "It'll cost the planet, I was betting on life returning to this planet, or what should just be call dirt of a planet, and if I was to perform this, and the sun wills combust, destroying this planet and all those that is attached to its gravitational pull." I spoke as I look in to my sister eyes.
"I see…." I can see Luna giving thought to what I just said. "I can see how that may worry you… but I fear that life will not come to this planet a second time, there is nothing here to sustain it, you don't have to worry sister, we can rest now, join those we have forgotten, maybe mother and father are there, that is why they haven't come back to us! Come sister, let follow through with your plan" My sister finishing talking with happiness on her face, and joyful eyes…
Luna my sister shows joy all for our embrace of death, or better yet, the embrace of death she will face, she brought my lie, about me able to kill myself. Will not all of it is a lie, the sun is just a burning gas of gravity holding it self together, it does not hold up to my power, the only thing I can image it doing is feeding the flame causing It to die, either turning in to a dwarf star; a blue ball, or a black hole, a compressing of gravity so strong it compress and feed on light its self, and after a while, it'll jet shout the matter out of both side of it, just like I said, it will die, and everything will be destroy. No I will remain here, to suffer alone, or better yet, how can one suffer when one feel no pain physical nor mentally.
"Yes sister let us embrace death, and join our mother and father in the Great Plain, and those who we long forgotten!" I spoke with joy in my voice, and put on a smile and eyes of false hope into my lie, all for my sister sake, to insure her, that everything will be alright, and she brought it.
"How will we do this sister?" she spoke a little concern. "Do not worry my sister, like I said, it'll be as if your growing sleepy, I'll drain you of your magic, until there is nothing left, afterward, you will feel externally drowse, then close your eyes. Then my dear sister you know what will happen after that?" I spoke in a motherly tone. "What?" Luna my dear little sister replies in a childlike tone and manner. "You will wake up in a field, and the sun shining down on you, with few clouds in sight, and a blanket of breezes to keep you cool. You'll be greeting by our parents and those who have faded from our memory, right when you look upon them, it'll jolt your mind, and refresh your memory, you'll remainder everything, as if it happen yesterday all at once. How do you feel about that my sister?" I spoke while holding her tightly in my forearms, wanted to remainder her warmth from her body before I kill that warmth with my own two forearms.
"That sounds wonderful big sister." She shied tears into my chest coat, tears of joys, to what she think will be of our descant to the Great Plain, but only she will arrive there, while I remain here, alone.
After a while we broke apart our embrace, it been a while since I see my sister this happy, why I don't even know the last time I seen here this happy, I can't remainder it, I'll remainder this scene, no matter how much time will pass, I'll never forget this scene, my sister last expression before she descent upon the Great Plain into bless.
For a moment I thought to not do it, while I have my forehand on my sister shoulder, but looking upon her face, her happy face… I have to do this, she don't deserve this torture. I step back facing my sister with the entrance of the cave behind her, so she can either look upon me as her last image of this life or the moon. I put my forearms on both sides of here head, just below her ears.
As I take one more look upon her face "Are you ready my dear beloved sister?" I ask her.
"Yes and their no need to be sad big sister, we will be reunited in the Great Plan after you done giving the sun your power…. right sister?" She asks me with a worry smile.
"Yes my dear sister, like I said before, I will follow right behind you" the last lie I will ever tell my sister. As I look upon her, for I will watch her life slip, like a flame growing lower and lower, until it's out. "Okay, just keep looking at me."
"Okay sister… I love you Celestia, my dearest and best big sister in the world; I love you, and thank you."
"Luna I-" What… what is this, what is this, something wet is coming down my cheek, aim… aim I crying, this pain I feel in my chest, it becoming a lot harder to swallow, I'm sad… I'm scare…. I'm… I'm a sister, I'm a sister, a big sister, Luna not only looks upon me as just a sister, but as a mother figure to…. I love her so much. "And I love you too Luna, I love you so much, I don't even know how I could have stop loving you, I could never ever stop loving you. I don't even understand how I could have ever told you that, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry sister!"
"It's okay Celestia, you have my forgiveness, let us continues to the Great Plan sister." Luna she look so happy, I most release her, if I tell her the truth now, yes she will stay with me, but she will be crush, I can't cause that pain, I must do this for her…
"Okay my sister… Goodbye and I love you for ever and ever."
"Goodbye sister, and I love you for ever and ever, and I will be the first to great you in the Great Plains, even know this is goodbye, soon it will be hello on the other side." Tears of joy and sadness run down my sister cheek, but only sadness run down my.
For one last time I hug my sister, feeling her body warmth move through my, for one more time, and one last time. I broke the embrace, and proceeded with the procedure, putting my forearms on the side of her head, below her ears. "Here we go… again goodbye my sister, who I love so much, goodbye."
"And hello from when we meet from the other side, and I also love you sister, as I say it now, I'll say it in the Great Plain when you get there, I love you."
This is it… for my sister a least; don't know what will happen to me. But a least she get to find eternally peace. I'll stare into her eyes, as her life slip away… Goodbye Luna, I love you with all my heart, and I'll never forget you, never…
