The story of Night Mare Moon

[Officer Strike 152]

In a kingdom in the skies and above the stars there was a beautiful queen and she lived with her husband King Star Scroll the Bearded. Star Scroll the Bearded was known as a wizard to many of the ponies but however he was really a king.

 

The queen of the stars decided that one day she was very lonely so she created a creature which she made to do all the work for her in the moon. The creature was beautiful and had flowing purple hair and beautiful armour on and she was powerful. She decided that she would look after the creature and that was when she named her Night Mare Moon.

 

As in the Night Mare. Not nightmare but her name meant much more.

 

Star Scroll grew tired of a creature going around and doing jobs for the Star Queen and the Star Queen was making Night Mare Moon do everything. Star Scroll was so angry that he put a curse on his wife and that was that she could never do anything by herself again. The Star Queen became so drawn to the creature that she did not want to talk to her husband.

 

The curse made the queen eventually wither and die just sitting inside the throne and Star Scroll the Bearded thought that perhaps he would do something good with Night Mare Moon. However Night Mare Moon was upset and she grieved the death of her and so she wanted to bring the Star Queen back.

 

Princess Luna was born on the same day that Star Scroll abandoned Night Mare Moon and that was when Night Mare Moon seized the chance to try and make Princess Luna the new star queen and bring back the kingdom but she was seen evil.

 

Every night Night Mare Moon would sob over the loss of her queen and sometimes she wished that she did not even exist. She always looked evil but the truth was that she just wanted her so called Star Queen back who she would call "Mama".

 

Today our dear Night Mare Moon is freed from Princess Luna. Her spirit mourns over the death of the queen and all she can do is cry.

 

Tears fall onto the Star Queen's tomb.
