CHAPTER

Prologue

In the heart of Equestria, in the city of Canterlot in the old years which cannot be said anymore.

Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria fell ill with a mysterious illness which still spreads amongst us to this day. Her sister was not the least bit worried. For her sister, had fought off many illnesses in the past, this is nothing more than a bump in her rule. She knew that.

But, she was wrong. After two years bedridden finally, Celestia passed away.

Years after that Luna couldn't get into the routine. In which she hired young mare Whisper Gear to raise the sun.

Not too long after, Whisper Gear grew greedy and on went a war between ponies. Some went with Whisper Gear, others stayed loyal and tall with Equestria's Princess.

Years passed and finally, Whisper Gear held a life changing device in her hooves. A push of this button and all of Equestria goes up in flames. For a moment, Luna had doubts. But, she didn't want to take the risk.

Ever since then, Luna has lived a slave to Whisper Gear, who still roams Equestria to this day. Luna still lives as well under the name Lunar.

Everything changed.
