Tremors – A Rangers of Equestria Prelude
Part 1: Celestia
All was quiet in the palace. The guard ponies had changed shifts and the cooks were preparing meals for the next day. The talk of the town for the previous nine hundred and ninety years was how Princess Celestia had banished Nightmare Moon to the moon, where she would stay forever. While this topic wasn't openly discussed anymore, whispers and rumours still sprang up amongst the foals. Princess Celestia didn't do anything to discourage the rumours; choosing to say that the Nightmare Moon story was just that: an old pony tale. Closing the door to her quarters, she trotted to the window near her bed and looked up at the moon. If she squinted hard enough, she could see the outline of her sister amongst the rocks and craters. Concentrating, she tried to communicate with her sister.
Luna, are you still angry with me?
As expected, there was no reply. As the tears gathered in her eyes, Celestia wondered if Luna would hate her forever. Of course, she had seen some small glimpses of the future, but what was it their parents always said? The future is always in motion and can change within the blink of an eye…yes, that was it. The sights she had seen both warmed her heart and confused her mind. Her prized pupil facing down a beast, a great fire and five unknown ponies charging at something and being enveloped in a blaze of magic…it all didn't make sense.
Suddenly, a warm glow spread through her body. It felt comforting, soothing; like a hug from her father. For a brief moment, everything seemed to melt away and all doubts she had about the future vanished into the ether. For the faintest of moments, she swore she heard a faint voice whisper in her head, but she couldn't understand the words. As she slipped into a deep sleep, the words became clearer.
"The power will protect them in the future."
