Princess Celestia.
Ruler of all Equestria, the one responsible for raising the sun and giving light to all her subjects. A kind and caring ruler who for over 1000 years has kept the magic of friendship and harmony alive throughout her land.
Yet this image of a kind, loving ruler couldn't be further from the truth.
For you see, Celestia and her sister Luna have a dark secret hidden in their castle in Canterlot.
Did you ever wonder how the royal sisters are able to live for over a millennium? Also, why dose the delyaed aging process only work on them and not the other alicorns? Namely Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadence. Even unicorns with a vast knowledge of magic would simply brush off this mystery with something like
"They're the alicorn princesses of Equstria they're magic is beyond comprehension,"
That's partly true, the reason is because of magic. Although it's a very dark magic
Deep below the Canterlot castle is a long forgotten secret basement, accessible only by Celestia and her sister. Not even Shining Armor knows of it's existence.
The entrance is blocked with a spell similar to the one the Princess of the sun used to store the Elements of Harmony way back when.
Within said basement is a dungeon, yet not for holding any pony guilty of a crime. Rather it's where Celestia and Luna...perform, "The Ritual"
Isn't it odd how after 1000 years of peace all the chaos and evil suddenly sprang into Equestria? Also how odd is it that the Royal sisters do next to nothing to help their subjects?
It was all planned out. A conspiracy to cover up what the royal sisters are doing behind the scenes. Yes, even Nightmare moons banishment was all an elaborate ruse to distract all the ponies of Equestria. Along with a great cover to hide the victims.
What is this ritual you ask?
Every so often, be it a friend who went missing from the Grand Galloping Gala, or a guard that didn't report for duty, or even an innocent philly that was lost. The sisters aren't picky, any pony will do for what needs to be done. And with long they've lived now, plus Luna being able to shape shift (note Luna Eclipsed) they're masters of kidnapping.
Once they've gotten who they've picked chained to the dungeon, it begins
The sisters use their magic to raise some knives up and slit the ponies throats. Their blood gushing out and dripping into a pair of chalices that are placed under their captives
Once the cups are filled to the brim, the sisters raise them up and chant their dark spell. Which explains how Celestia had known how to use dark magic like King Sombra did.
As the sisters chant, a dark red pentagram of light forms upon the floor under where the sisters stand
The blood in the cups turn an inky black. And as the sisters drink, any little wrinkles or grey in the manes disappears.
For now they have just consumed the very life force of the pony they just killed.
This adds the remaining lifespan of the victim pony to their own lives, extending them. Like some type of vampire horses
Yes, the royal sisters are cannibals of the darkest form. Along with willingly freeing past evils to use as distractions as they may gain more sustenance to keep on living.
So the next time you see your beloved Princess Celestia pay a visit, or Luna on Nightmare Night. Keep your distance, especially if you're a young philly. They love children.
The end
