I felt like I had been falling for eternity into the darkness ever since I met her, the opposite of me but yet somehow she was what I wanted to become. Eventually I became her "nightmare moon" as many people called me since I had been banished by the events caused by my one dream, a dream to show people the beauty of the night. The stars that dance across the sky the planets an everlasting world that is unforgettable, but how can you not forget something you never knew at all. Ignorance is all they showed to my beautiful night all they did was sleep during it they praised the sun and shunned my night filled world. And I never asked anyone that one small word when I was still a person.
My dream and others nightmare she was only a small part of me but in the beginning of her emerging I met him one misunderstood by ordinary people as myself. He was a bearer of chaos and his name was discord, we met in a place called the everfree forest It was a place that held the essence of night through all hour's weather day or night. He looked onto things in a new light he saw my dream but instead of looking onto the dream with disgust as others have always; he saw just a dream a wish. He loved hearing stories of me telling him of the sky the stars and the feeling of raising the moon and stars each night and we became the best of friends.
The grand gala was coming up supposedly one of the greatest nights of the year. I was searching for discord I was going to find him and give him something a small envelope was in my bag an invitation to the gala. as I told him of the gala he seemed to become saddened I'm sorry Luna he said and began to walk away slowly, they will never accept me I'm not like them discord said. "No you're not like them" Luna said as she came to him "and that's why you're my best friend a true friend in a sea of lies" and Luna took his hand. "Thank you" discord said to Luna as they sat and watched the night sky Luna had brought.
On the night of the gala as I was getting ready for the gala all I could think about was discord would he be lonely or sad or even disappointed? I slowly descended down the stairs wearing a midnight blue gown covered in patterns of the stars and moon. I was glad as the sight of people enjoying my night but the night sky I had brought, but the people around me meant nothing. I was still alone there was no one I knew there they acted with petty disguises pretending to help themselves look better for my sister. I wished discord was here I felt like I needed to see him, I carefully snuck out of the ballroom and into the rose garden.
I threw off my shoes and made my way into the forest the pain of nightmare moon was overwhelming but the thoughts of discord fended her off. When I had finally reached our spot, my gown had some tears in it but I didn't care in the least. and when I reached our spot I saw discord looking into the sky. When I ran straight to him he was full of surprise when he saw me he "why are you here Luna" discord asked "to see you of course." He was seemingly overwhelmed with joy and we enjoyed each other's company for the night in the dark forest but with us here together it couldn't have had been brighter with us there together.
As I became nightmare more and more the pain of it increased I didn't tell discord fearing he world worry for me or that he wouldn't care at all.
One day after telling discord a story of raising the moon and lowering it for the previous day he only said one thing in response "why." After pausing there was nothing but silence and serenity in the area but then why did everything in the area around us feel so heavy. After some time he continued with much lament in his voice in his voice and a darker tone I had never heard him use before. I thought he was almost about to cry but he also was full of determination the he suddenly looked straight into my eyes. "Why, why must you have to raise and lower the moon for her is she afraid you infinite night will be loved more and overpower the dawn she brings, is it your wish to lower the moon for the dawn just why" Luna.
I looked down and I knew I couldn't control her any longer she would take over nightmare looked straight at discord and in one swift motion looked in to his eyes as he had previously but this wasn't me anymore this this wasn't Luna. it was nightmare moon "do you think I want to let the moon leave the sky the stars disappear for the day just for them to be shunned forgotten at night" she said. "Then why don't you go against the fate of the forgotten moon to show the light to others" discord said then nightmares expression softened and I returned as Princess Luna sister of celestia and even though the tears she smiled and gave him a hug and we both smiled and stood there in the night air together in the everfree forest, in our sanctuary.
As time passed I had lost control of nightmare moon she had become ravenous with rage and the first and last person she visited was celestia my dear sister. I feared for her yet unable to act on my own will was forced to watch in horror and dismay she passed the guards effortlessly. When She entered celestia's room and inside was my sister the ruler of the land the goddess of the sun the one who caused all of my pain. Luna in the darkness knew that her sister would be forced to seal nightmare moon.
she had to talk to her sister and send her a message before she would disappear she tried with all her might and The shell that was nightmare moon cracked and princess Luna came and falling to her knees said almost yelling to her. "Celestia monsters are real I've become one just send me away somewhere I can't hurt anyone, and tell him I love him." She said tears falling down her cheeks as she talked and before she could say a name she returned as nightmare moon and I fell into the darkness losing my chance to tell discord myself I love you.
I knew celestia had sent me away but I would try to return to see my best friend and my lover discord someday. Don't forget me discord we will always have the forest and the infinite night sky I once brought upon the world you showed me everything friendship strength and love.
Inside celestia's room she thought about her sister but never delivered the message Luna gave her she never bothered thinking about who was the one Luna loved but celestia never knew about the one guard in the corner of the room left untouched by nightmare moon had heard the message and had to find the one she had loved that one guard searched and searched never looking into the forest covered with darkness and discord never heard what happened to Luna.
