Chapter 4:

"The story of the chosen is one of the most important prophecies in the history of Equestria, the prophecy of the elements of harmony is an example." "Luna?" "Yes Splash?" "What are the elements of harmony?" "Ask Pinkie about it after the story, for now I will tell you your story."

"After my parents created Equestria, they had children, three to be exact. They had Selene, who controlled one moon, Celestia, Who controlled the sun, and me the youngest, who controlled the other moon. We ruled in peace for thousands of years, until Selene became unhappy. To this day I have no clue what made her unhappy at first, but her unhappiness caused the moon she was in charge of to shrink. Eventually the moon she controlled, which at first had been far larger than mine was half the size of mine. She tried everything to fix it, magic, potions, asking our parents to fix it, but nothing worked. And for every failure she grew more and more bitter. Finally her moon was the same size as a carriage, which caused her to panic because if her moon disappeared so would she, so she became desperate, and sadly she contacted a witch, a user of dark magic. She started to leave the castle more and more often, and one day she came back and she looked different, physically different, she used to be a silver pelted pony with a white mane and tail that had black streaks in it. She came back and she had a navy blue pelt and a purple and black mane and tail. She had "embraced the darkness" apparently, that's all she would say. Her moon was growing, but it was twisted and strange, she grew less and less friendly, killing her own guards and burning Celestia at least three times. Her pet, an adorable loving winged cat named Anna that Selene had since she was born, disappeared mysteriously and Selene didn't care at all!" Luna took a deep breath. "Now comes the bad part. Selene had locked her self in her room for three days, no pony had seen her, but we all heard the weird sounds coming from her room, it sounded like chanting, but it was a deep male voice that sounded like three at the same time, it was terrifying. Even Celestia, my fearless older sister couldn't sleep by herself. On the fourth day we woke up, the chanting had stopped, in fact the whole castle was completely silent, now I will spare you the gruesome details, but the only survivor's pupils were pinpricks and he wouldn't, no couldn't talk. He committed suicide two days later. Anyway, we left the castle to see the surrounding town gone. Gone, off the face of the earth, we had never seen anything like it, an entire city gone without a trace. The city that was destroyed was called Ponaris, it was the capitol of Equestria, so it scared the buck out of every pony. Celestia and I looked all over for our older sister, but we didn't find her until 3000 years later. There was a huge battle Celestia and I won, she sealed Selene deep in the ground far away from Equestria. After this happened 5000 years passed peacefully, then, I, sort of turned evil for a bit and was banished to the moon for a thousand years. When I came back, I was fixed with the power of the elements of harmony. Then about 100 years later, Selene broke free. She knew the only ones that could stop her were you. But, at the time you were but newborn or toddler foals and fillies, so Selene planned to take you from us and, well, kill you. So she tried to make a deal with Celestia." "Give me the chosen and I wont hurt you," purred a voice from behind.
