Celestia closed the door of her sister's bedroom with a smile. It was so good to see her sister's sleeping form from her blue mane and her cute little snout. She smiled sadly as she remembered.

Her mane shined with iridescence as she rembered

"Luna! Please! Please, please don't leave me!" Cried Celestia as she unknowingly cast the elements of harmony on her sister. "Sis! Please help me! Please!" Cried Luna as Nightmare Moon receded and left her. "Luna please come back please!" Shouted Celestia to the now receding rainbow as it raced to the moon.

A cry echoed through the night as Celestia sat in what was once the main hall of the Grand Castle within the Everfree forest, whole sections of wall were missing, evidence of the fight the two sisters had.

When you were standing in the wake of Devastation.

She looked at the moon with tears in her eyes, too sad to cry, too heartbroken to feel. "What happens next?" She asked the still night, it replied with solemnity of silence as she just sat there.

When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown.

The adrenaline of the fight left her body as the strain of casting the elements finally caught up to her. She gripped her side in pain and screeched writhing on the floor crying out in pain. She was still in shock from what she had just done, as she lay there screaming in pain, she desperately tried muffling a growing scream in her mind. The debris from the roof and walls started collapsing as the whole castle seemed to fall apart around her.

And with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now. You where there impossibly alone.

After an hour of pain, she got up, the tears drying on her eyes as she started limping forward. Her mind too filled to even begin to process thought into words. She limped forward onto the road leading from the castle to the fledgling town of Ponyville.

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failures all you've known.

As she walked her mind began working again and the first thoughts that entered her mind was that of little Luna. How she always looked up to Celestia with her big sparkling green eyes.

"Shiny! Shiny! Look what I found!" Said a much smaller Luna as she levitated a struggling frog up to her sister who laughed.

"Stop it." Said Celestia as the ghost giggles resounded through her skull.

Remember all the sadness and frustration, and let it go! Let it go!

"Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it." She whispered over and over again as she walked onwards trying desperately to escape from her mind and her deed. Suddenly she looked up as a massive explosion of white sparkled in the night sky, temporarily making the stars invisible. Celestia lifted her face to the moon, that did it for her.

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel. As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars.

All the memories the shock had been holding back shot forward in her mind.

Celestia had been groomed from an early age to face hardship and make the tough choices that a ruler had to make, that included banishing one's sister.

"LUNA!" She screamed into the hollow night collapsing onto the road and weeping openly. "Why!?!? Why?!? Wh?!? Why?!?" She asked over and over and over again as she propped herself up on a nearby stump of wood as she cried and cried until there was just an empty hollow feeling inside.

You felt the gravity of tempered grace, falling into empty space. No one there to catch you in their arms.

She cried and cried and cried until her throat was raw and her eyes red and bloodshot. And still she cried until her voice was nothing but a shrill fleshy sound. And still she cried until her throat finally closed up.

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope but failures all you've known? Remember all the sadness and frustration! And let it gooooooo ooooh! Let it go!

She trotted onwards until she saw another flash of light, this time the stars seemed to shine a bit brighter. They glistened as if they were teardrops shed by the night.

[chorus] Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope but failures all you've know!

Despite everything, Celestia smiled a bit. "Luna....oh my little Luna....the guiding stars of my life. Please....someday please come back to me." She whispered as her tear ducts produced one last smatter of liquid. A single tear from her left eye worked it's way down her stout and fell onto the ground.

[chorus] Let it gooooooooo ohhh ohh!

She galloped onwards, away from the castle with a heavy yet lightened heart. She shouted into the night sky. "I'll make sure i'm the best princess Equestria's ever seen!"

Let it go!

"I'll make sure that everypony sees your night!

Let it go!

"I'll make sure that nopony ever feels alone and sad ever again!

Let it go!

"I'll make sure everypony grows up happy and healthy!"

Let it go!

"I'll make sure you never have to suffer again so please come back to me!" She shouted to the night hoping that somehow it reached the moon.

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation, you build up hope but failure's all you've known? Remember all the sadness and frustration! And let it go!

"COME BACK TO ME LUNA!!!" She echoed into the night with the last of her breath.

==============================================================================================

Celestia sighed as she remembered the night as if it was yesterday. Behind her she heard the doors of her sister's bedroom open and close. "Sister?" Asked a sleepy Luna, rubbing her eyes with a hoof. Celestia quietly made her way over and hugged her with her forehooves and wings. Luna didn't respond in language of mouth, but in language of body.

The two embraced underneath the moonlight, the silverly ball cast a soft glow on the sisters as they shed tears long since lost.
