Against my own sister raising horn!

But loyal magic kept her safe and sound,

Bright cheerful lights were laughing all around.

The strike was kind and generous as well

To end the honest duel with this spell.

Celestia had turned the tide of battle

With elements of Harmony again.

Against them all my powers did not matter,

And I could have done nothing to escape.

I had been thrown away by mighty spell,

The knots of magic were to tight to tear,

And, having bid my homeland farewell,

I felt my tortured mind becoming clearer.

My sister was the one I loved the most,

I came to her with an intent to kill.

The dark and evil spirit was the cause,

It had possessed my body, broke my will.

I made the worst mistake in all my life,

Having allowed that dark force to use me.

There was no doubt in my sister's love.

The harmony is fragile and illusive.

But rage and envy knew their craft.

My mind was clouded again.

How could I have been ever loved?

She did not understand my pain!

I failed that time, but mark my words,

Eternal night will have its chance.

I will go on with no remorse,

And I will wait till solstice comes.

The sun will take the longest path,

And I will face my sister then

With no repeating of the past.

She will not trick me once again.

There was Canterlot, it was lifeless and dark, without a single sparkle in the windows. Standing on the balcony, the lonely white alicorn was staring mournfully at the night luminary, which was disfigured by craters.

Full moon is shining brightly like the sun.

The sign of unicorn bears marks of shame,

And every pony is asleep, but one.

She caused so much unnecessary pain.

The last faint sounds of the echo quietened down, flashes of magical mirages faded away, and Night Princess sank on the pillow next to me, breathing heavily. The plate of cookies and the teakettle, which had already gotten cold, came back from dissipated shadows. Having thrown my arm around Luna, I raised a cup of water to her lips. She hesitated, but took a sip carefully. My fingers felt quick quivers, coursing over the body of my beloved.

"Luna... forgive me" - Celestia whispered in a quavering voice and touched her sister's shoulder with the hoof - "I was so inconsiderate, when you needed my help the most. I am sorry, that everything ended... that way"

Luna looked away and reached the water with her lips again. Having lowered her eyes, she was regaining her inward peace with each slow sip.

"Forgive me"

Having snatched the moment, Celestia used telekinesis to draw Luna to her chest and hugged her.

"Tia" - I breathed out quietly - "You want Luna to forgive you. But are you ready to forgive Luna?"

The sisters stared at me in perplexity. Then, having looked back, Celestia met Luna's questioning glance. Tia held her close, burying her muzzle even deeper in Luna's mane to muffle up her sobbing.

Northlight, who moved away silently, appeared next to me and whispered, having touched my back with the wing:

"Let us go, they need to be alone"

The body, which was filled with alcohol, was responding to the mind's orders slowly and reluctantly. Still, I managed to get up carefully and followed the bat-stallion to the balcony, having taken the pillow, empty wine bottle and several muffins with me. Luna stood motionless, being embraced by her sister. The look of her eyes was showing her surprise and a slight reproach: "You surely can punch to the gut". Having nodded respectfully, I went out and closed the door.
