With luck, my findings will spread far and wide across Equestria. During my painstaking research, I was shocked at how blindly ponies accepted the official version of events just because somepony who was there said that was how it went. I didn’t even have any difficulties with studying the magic; any laymare could do it. Nothing was especially complicated. After all, since the Elements were never involved in saving Luna, it wasn’t like this was locket science.

I didn’t even get into the sheer distance between the moon and Equus. It’s not just on the other side of the country; it’s so far away that our best modern magics haven’t been able to reach it, let alone magic from a millennium ago. Assuming Luna had been thrown into the sky by Celestia all those years ago, the moon wouldn’t be where the regal ass landed.

Ponies need to know the truth. They need to know they’re being hoodwinked and what that implies. They need to be aware of how the princesses can twist Equestria to their whims with only a few choice actions. It was just one small spell by mares, but a giant scheme over equines.

Author's Notes:

Oh. Did I forget to mention this was also part of the Fimfiction Feghoot Festival? Sorry not sorry! I can’t submit this, as I’m a judge (hence why I released it outside the deadline), but I wanted to participate anyway.
