Dear Journal,

Many years has passed, the land almost seemed to actually grow more peaceful over the few hundred years. You may expect Twilight and her friends to be gone but happily they are exact ponies my former student met years before. Ponies ask me how they are alive, I never gave an answer. Honestly it's just the fact that Twilight is now immortal, she has been, her friends are connected to the elements of harmony which is far more powerful than the magic I hold, as long as they are connected to that element they stay young and live. I haven't been the same lately, my adopted niece Princess Cadence has grown to be a fine mare magic I had at that age. She looks more royalty than my sister at times, but off that note, she is still weeping off of her husband's death. He had no magic connected to him to keep him alive. There was nothing any pony could do.. Though I am surprised to note that unlike everything I have told myself, my subjects come first before romance. I fell in love with a certain hybrid and had a son of my one, Illusion, prince Illusion I might add. It's been many year's since I've seen my family, all I got is my former student, my sister, and my elder son Prince Pax. To my knowledge, Luna and I are the only ponies that know of Discord and I's divorce. Why did we divorce you might ask? Well it was a normal evening and I was teaching my elder son about the royal bloodline and his grandparents. But Discord stopped showing up to family dinners, including my daughter Princess Harmony. Why didn't I mention her before? Well.. She is the middle child and it's a long backstory but where was I? Oh yes, I grew scared, Illusion and Pax only seemed to show up. Then only Pax.

Pax has a thing where he always stood by my side, never honestly leaving me, he cared for me like no other. He reminded me so much of Discord, but also Twilight.. She was always like my daughter even though I was her teacher, I'm proud of my son to this day. Though.. My other children stayed near their father, they only wanted to be with him. I never knew why till that day, that very day I pulled out the divorce papers. Discord finally entered our bed chambers I smiled with glee but he didn't back. Instead he lifted his mismatched eye's at me with sorrow. "D-discord is something bothering you? You haven't come to dinner and Pax is actually growing worried of you.. So am I.." I remembered the look in those eye's as he launched towards me. Silence as he stared into my violet eye's. At first the silence was deadly, I haven't seen that look in his eye's since I turned him into stone. Even then he was happier. I remember the whole conversation like the back of my hoof

"Why Celestia?" I remember the cold tone in his voice waiting, I stood scared of my one true love. "WHY?!" I finally reached onto my hooves leaning towards him. Like a princess should.

My head lifted a bit as I got a bit defensive, I don't know why... I was just scared, but the only thought I could make through my head at the time is 'He is snapping again..' "Why what Discord?" I softly answered.

His anger raised as the fire in his eye's launched at me. "Why?" His laugh was deep and rather.. Different, it wasn't a evil one, but rather a angered laugh. "Why.. why did you do that to us? Don't you care about Illusion and Harmony?!" Discord's strained vocal's raised with pure rage. I didn't respond, only a simple nod. "Are we your family or your subjects?! I do love Pax, but your more focused on your former student and our son to even care if we exist! Whens the last time you've tucked our own son in bed? Whens the last time you hugged them and cared about their presence?! When?!" My fear raised a bit then my head lowered, he noticed the guilt in my eye's, he loved me more than anything he tried to hold back his tear's. This was not the prankster I knew... Not at all, Discord has a thing when it comes to family.. Like any pony, he wants whats best for his own flesh and blood, and me.. His eye's raised and stared at me. "Celestia.. I love you, but we are your family! I know you can be a good mother but ever since you've had Illusion your to busy tucking in Twilight and your new student.. Whats her name? Ah a foal, her name is Mistydust I believe, are they your children? I understand Twilight because her parents where never there for her! But come on you've got two children who has been dying for your care! Or is Pax your only son?" At that moment I slammed the door open. He blinked at me.

I stood and walked out of the bedroom. The fire in his eye's faintly begun to fade. "D-discord, I'm sorry for not treating you better but-" I sighed I couldn't say it, it was the truth but I just couldn't. But then the regret of my existence blurted out of my mouth. "My subjects, Luna, my students, and Pax need me more than anything right now." I covered my mouth with my hooves and he just turned a blazing red.

"Oh? Is that so?" His voice was so different, but not as loud as before. "So you raised Twilight aye? Are you raising this Mistydust also?" I could hear him laugh at the end. "Look, I'll forgive you just give this all up! Be a teacher to her not a mother.. And be the mother of your children not a random mare that gave them life!" His voice grew louder, even louder than Luna when she got mad at me.

My wing's opened, I looked down up at him with a slight sigh. "Discord, I'm sorry.. Will you forgive me, will Harmony and Illusion forgive me?" I stuttered, my thoughts raced. I questioned if I could make more room for them, though she thought herself as a good mother. By surprise Discord snickered and a cotton candy cloud appeared over my head and chocolate rain begun to fall on top of me.. Then came down a note.

Ex-Dearest Celestia,

I see you want me to forgive you, but how can I? Your non-blood daughters are way to important, I'm taking Harmony and Illusion with me! Also here is some Divorce papers and lotion, you'll need it!

P.S 'Whack!' -------------------------
With all the chaos you don't deserve, and the order you get, Lord Discord.~

Then something that looked like Discord's tail shot out of the note and whacked me in the face. It still burns till this day.. And I looked at the lotion and threw it away, a detail I never told Discord.

It has been many years since that time, and my heart still is aching for the hug of my children and the kiss of my husband.
------- ~ Yours, Celestia.
