[WELL PEGGY, YOU ASKED. Sit yourself down, it's storytime.]
It's quite the thrilling tale!
[He clears his throat. ]
A thousand years ago, Equestria was ruled by two sisters. Princess Celestia controlled the sun, and watched over the day. Princess Luna controlled the moon, and watched over the night. For a long time, they ruled in harmony and balance. Unfortunately, Princess Luna began to feel unwanted and unloved. Ponies worked and played during the day, but slept through her beautiful night and she felt...unappreciated. This unease grew, until dark magic took a hold of her, and she turned into a dark shadow of herself, Nightmare Moon. She refused to lower the moon- cloaking Equestria in eternal darkness. Celestia begged her sister to see sense, but it was too late.
[Is this making any sense, Peggy? He's continuing on regardless! ]
Celestia, knowing she had to protect the ponies who relied on her, ended up having to use the Elements of Harmony...those are magical artefacts of my world, very powerful, used to protect the world. [Because THAT'S the part he felt needed explanation. ] She defeated her sister, and imprisoned her and the evil force within her on the moon for a thousand years.
[He sits back. ]
Of course, after that Nightmare Moon was freed, and defeated- and Luna was restored. She and Celestia have been ruling over Equestria in unity since then.
