A/N: Hi hi! Thanks for reading, this story is part of a three part short story segment, part of TFE (Tales From Equesteria) this part is published second but the three stories can be read in any order, it is not necessary to read the other two parts but recommended since they are interconnected ^^ The other parts are In Many Ways I am Like a Phoenix and Dark Side of the Sun (this last one is not published yet, as of writing this).

Dear diary, Luna here, since returning from the moon, i've been having some... memory lapses... Certain things from the past, i can't seem to remember, like what happened before i...went...turned evil. Where did that surge of evil energy come from? Why was i so easily swayed by it? Since my return i had been reading up on this dark entity, determined never to be swayed by it again. It seems from what i read that this dark energy fed on desire, the stronger the desire for something, the stronger the sway it had over a pony. I must have had an overwhelmingly strong desire for something back then, yet, i feel no such inclinations now. What was my desire back then that drove me to the dark side? Was it truly as my sister had said, a strong envy for power that she had? The love of ponies she commanded? Somehow, that did not sit quite right with me but then again, why should my sister tell me anything but the truth?

Dear diary, speaking of my sister, she has been acting weirdly, or, she had always been this weird? Urgh, i... don't quite... There is something about her i am forgetting, something important... Somehow all i can remember is a pale yellow glow, like the silent moon was hiding secrets from me. Celestia would not talk to me at all, in the night time, when i am most awake. It is understandable that she would be tired after lowering the sun but who goes to sleep with the sun? She avoids me i think? Even at the Grand Galloping Gala, she sent me away to patrol the nightsky, away from her. This is a sad Luna who is speaking to you.

Dear diary, its been many days since i last wrote. I have been in conflict for the past week, for i have found something, something i am not sure if i should... Well, firstly, for the past 2 weeks, i have continued in my research, and i have made much progress, Celestia has since destroyed the dark book from which i had invoked the dark entity's attention but it seems that at the same time, a powerful artifact was created, probably by the dark entity, to seal some sort of memory. It is my theory that that memory belongs to me, sealed after i was seperated from the evil within me. It should be clear that my course of action now would be to break the spell and regain my memory, yet, for some reason, i feel hesitant. I... feel fear from the memory?

I have confessed my fears to my sister, she was unusually cryptic and seems disturbed as she spoke to me. Nevertheless, i have decided that my trust lies with my sister, if she should decide that pursuing this issue is not the path i should take then, that is my decision as well. Her word is all that i need.

Dear diary, I have taken to being awake more during the day, my sister is in a more conversational mood then and having her company is more than worth it to alter my sleep cycle. It is also more convenient for me to ease her burden of running Equestria this way. I love my sister but she really is impossible to talk to at night. She seems somehow different? Different as the sun rises and sets? Different... as the Sun and the Moon? Maybe i'm thinking too much, having my sister with me, and the love of the ponies of Equestria, i am content.
