///////////////////////

Prologue: This tale takes place about 3000 years in the past of the modern MLP canon. During this time, Celestia and Luna are still fillies, though close to grown physically. The events here recorded are the foundation of the modern Hearthwarming Eve stories and pageants which were written by the winners of these events.

For those who have wondered how a Changeling-like creature like Heather Bloom O'Red Hoof could have been welcomed into the modern court of Celestia and Luna in Canterlot, it will be seen that it was the joyful reunion of fillyhood playmates.

For more background information please read:

De Writer and the Orb of the Ages: The first tale in the history of De Writer

De Writer’s Tale (a narrative poem)

The Coming of Tam O'Canter and Heather Bloom O'Red Hoof to Ponyville

Hearthwarming Eve / Starvation’s Night

/////////////////////

PART 1 is HERE PART 2 is HERE

The soft, now dreamlike voice of Luna interrupted, “You were right, Celestia. It is a matter of seeing it rightly. If you will trust me to take us, I can get us to the Sunrise Isles by a different way. They are warded from any direct approach. Touch my horn with yours. Hold the touch regardless of what you see. Let me guide us and do not fight my choices, no matter what they may seem.

“I am the dreamer. I hold the power of dreams. The path to the Sunrise Isles is through a dream.”

De Writer and Celestia both looked at the now serene form of Luna and then back to the maze that showed in the Orb of the Ages. De Writer's magic touched the Orb and the maze vanished. He smiled softly and, taking the Orb with him knelt beside his dark blue daughter and laid his horn across hers.

Celestia knelt on Luna'a other side, laid her horn laid across her sister's and father's. Luna spread her wings to enfold them both. A moment later, leaves blew across the place that they had been kneeling.

The journeyers of dream faced the hall of Red Hoof, engulfed in roaring flames. Braving the barbs of invader spears and arrows. They went into the flames.

The soft voice of Luna quietly reminded them, “This is the first of the nightmares with which the Isles are warded. We must face our worst fears to go to those lands.”

Celestia wept openly as she had to watch Jarl Natchin burned to death. His pain was only warded from him by the love of his Heart Keeper. Jarla Peach Tree was bravely pouring her magic of love selflessly to him, blocking his pain as he died. She blocked his pain but had not enough to stop her own as she too suffered horrid burns.

Celestia reached with her pale, powerful, many hued magic and lifted the burned and injured form of her long time friend, mentor and ruler, Jarla Peach Tree. Celestia removed her safely through the smoke and flames. Risking the spears and arrows of their enemies, she took her Jarla to such safety as the Everfree offered and laid her at the feet of her daughter, Jarlene Heather Bloom and wept.

“I tried, Heather Bloom, but she would not come until your father was gone.”

The scene changed.

A dark fluid bubbled and boiled away in a cauldron. The fire was fed by quills and parchment. Young Earth ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns stood on guard about the destruction of all things written and the means of writing more.

Behind them, De Writer's school was being burned by the parents of the young guardians of ignorance.

De Writer looked carefully at them all. He shook his head sadly and told the whole group of them, “Look at yourselves. You are insuring your mistakes would have been given to your children.

“This time, your errors and mine will not be passed to them. You are dead already, killed by an invasion that I did not warn of strongly enough. Stop the burning. Give some other a chance to live better and safer.”

They began to throw stones at him.

Instead of fleeing, De Writer pushed past the young, murdered ponies that guarded the fire of ignorance. He scooped some of the ink from the cauldron. In spite of hail of stones, he gathered unburnt parchment and quills from the flames.

As he turned his back on the ignorant dead, the three dream travelers found themselves on a high, windswept hill.

It was dominated by Luna, grown gigantic, armed and armored. Visible nightmares swarmed about her to do her bidding. Celestia lay under her hoof, battered and chained. A captive.

Celestia was straining to start forward in outrage. Blue magic held her back. De Writer whispered in her ear, “Luna must deal with this! Remember, this nightmare is her WORST fear. That she could become a Nightmare Tyrant and bind you to her will.”

Celestia paused for a deep, calming breath. “I see. That is hardly what I expected.”

De Writer nodded and said softly, “She has been terrified of the abuse of nightmares ever since she defended us with them.”

Luna started forward toward the giant Nightmare Tyrant. She stayed her small self. The glow about her was like the fullest moon, reaching and swamping out the gloom of the nightmares about the giant Luna on the hill top.

The monster looked about wildly for the source of the light drowning her gloom of fear. She spotted Luna almost at once. “YOU! Why have you tried to stop my nightmares? Our many dead need vengeance!”

The small Luna nodded agreement at once. “Indeed they do. Look at what you are doing to get it. What good will come of this? I have left those nightmares already dispatched to do your bidding as a sign of good will between us. We are ONE being, after all.”

“Then why waste words! Join me in vengeance!”

“No. Not yet. I repeat, look at what you are doing to get your vengeance! YOURS, not for our dead. You have taken the Day, the sister that we both love, captive. How does this make vengeance for our many dead?

“It will make her hate US. Most of those that you are striking by nightmare are innocents who did not do the murders. Striking them is wrong, too.”

Slowly the Nightmare Monster Luna nodded her head. “Our father has said that we need to think things through. How then? I was acting from rage alone. I have done a terrible wrong to our sister. How can that be made up?”

“I am the wrong one to ask that. I do have a possible answer. It will need Celestia's help to work. Let us become one again, agreed that we do need to have vengeance, but only on those who killed our friends. Perhaps she will help us.”

The Nightmare Luna looked about bleakly, her gaze finally resting on th chained form of her sister, Celesta. “What will we do to make up this mess? I acted from rage and committed an outrage of my own.”

Calmly, Luna replied, “We will start by freeing her.”

“She will attack us if we do that.”

“Will we deserve it for what you have done in our name?”

Head down, horn scraping the dirt, Nightmare Luna replied almost inaudibly, “Yes.”

Looking up suddenly, Nightmare Luna repeated, “What I have done in OUR name?”

Luna shrugged, “Of course. I accept that you and I are one and need to become one again. That means that I accept not only you but all that you have done.” She held out a hoof and added, “Come back, please. I am not whole without you.”

Nightmare trembled as she held out her hoof to touch Luna's. The air about them shimmered like heat waves. When it cleared, only Luna stood there. There was one small change. Luna stood in Nightmare's tracks.

She turned and her moonlight magic reached out, shattering the chains that held her sister Celestia in bondage. The Celestia of the dream had watched the whole event carefully. She said, “I see where you are standing, Luna. You are where your Nightmare self was. If she is part of you, why should I trust you now?”

Luna nodded soberly and replied, “Three reasons. First: Because the Nighmare and I have always been one. It was when I was not simply one that badness happened. We are a balance, she and I.

“Second: When I became one again, I freed you without conditions. I will not fight you if you choose to strike me back. I do have a better use for your anger, if you will hear me out.

“Third: Jarl Natchin, Jarla Peach Tree, all of our friends and the school that has been our home. These need vengeance. Nightmare was trying to do that but has agreed that she did it wrongly. Especially bad was the binding of you.”

Celestia considered carefully and then relpied, “Besides the treatment of me, what of the rest was ill done?”

“Nearly all of it, Sister. Nearly all. We need to punish only those who did the attacks. Those who came after were mostly innocents in this. Some have already figured out that murder was done. Nightmare was hitting them all with out regard.”

Celestia reared to a threatening pose, wings raised high, forefeet ready to strike, multi-hued magic swirling about her horn. “What do we need to do to strike them down?” she thundered.

Quietly Luna said, “No thing. We need to give them fine days. I shall want your help in finding the weakness in each one. The nightmares that will rule their sleep will also ruin the days of the guilty and harm no other. They shall strike themselves down.”

Luna laid herself down in front of Celestia and added, “I am ready, Sister. Strike me now for my harm to you. I am sorry that ever I did such a thing.”

Celestia lowered herself to all fours, furling her wings to her sides. Only her magic remained, swirling about her horn. The magic of many soft colors reached out and lifted Luna to her feet. “Stand, sister Luna, we will work better side by side.”

The scene faded.

They were on a smallish island with a riot of lush vegetation all about. They stood before a heavy wooden door set into a strong tower. The door was sealed solidly.

De Writer smiled as he saw, written above the door, “You have been given the three keys to my tower. Place them in the opening and be welcome.”

Celestia noticed her foster father's smile and asked, “What makes you so happy, Father?”

De Writer pointed at the writing. “I recognize that hand. Skyglow, your creator, your mother, if you will, was for a time a student of my school. She remembers her lessons in writing!” He shed a tear.

Luna also read the writing and said thoughtfully, “The slot is only wide enough for a piece of parchment. Father, you saved parchment ink and quills from the blaze. Do you have them still?”

Somewhat surprised, De Writer found them in his pouch. “I thought it was only a dream.” He quickly wrote, “Skyglow, Titan of Life Creation, my dear student, may we please enter your tower?”

Luna turned to Celestia and said, “You brought the tears of compassion and courage. Add those to the writing.”

Celestia remembered her dream and the tears came freely. Luna's magic captured them and placed them as a damp spot at the foot of the short note. She added a delicately small hoof print beside the tears.

Then she directed, “Dear sister, put your hoof mark over mine. My key was the value of cooperation.” Celestia made her print over Luna's.

De Writer's blue magic put the parchment into the slot. The door to the Tower of Life opened silently.

Dawn:

The three reverently entered the Tower of Life. The floor was made of living moss and their hooves made no sound at all.

In spite of being inside, the great room that they found themselves in was lit brightly, as if the sun outside was falling through the bulk of the tower unhindered. Living grass grew in the middle of the room and a small pegasus was grazing contentedly.

Looking up, the pegasus filly Skyglow greeted them. “De Writer, my friend. Celestia, Luna, my daughters, welcome to my home.

“I apologize for the trials that you endured to get here. They were necessary. This place is a fortress under siege. That, I fear is all that I may tell you of the matter.

“You are not here to do battle. You are here to learn how to undo the damage that has already been done. You have both noticed already that the heavens are not in proper order. Without your guidance, they will slowly get so far out of order that the whole of this wonderful world of yours will die.”

Celestia thought that over carefully and then asked, “How can we possibly do such a thing? I mean, as alicorns, we have a great deal of magic but can it possibly be enough to move the heavens?”

Skyglow smiled. “No. You cannot truly move the heavens. The truth of what you will really do is a bit more complex. If it were so easy, I would have simply fixed the heavens and been done with it.

“The fault lies in the incomplete nature of the world itself. That necessitates continuous adjustments. These changes are small enough for you to manage. You will be responsible for those alterations that cause the appearance of a sunrise or sunset through its proper cycles to be what is needed again.

“The moon travels about the world and the adjustments that it needs, Luna, are your task. Though they do not need as much strength as Celestia's work, they are more subtle and equally important.”

Luna nodded soberly and asked, “How can we do these things, Skyglow? They are not something that we know how to do.”

Skyglow bent her head down and nibbled some more of the grass before answering. “You have guessed that I imbued you with a form of Creator Magic. It will manifest more in a little time.

“I have taken a great risk in giving it to you. What is done by that magic cannot be undone. It will require both great care and great responsibility in its use. I will guide your early use of it to be sure that you understand how to do what you must.”

De Writer paused to take a mouthful of the grass too. He grinned in delight at the taste. He said, “I have been chronicling the assorted small adventures of the fillies.” His face sobered. “I only figured out, far too late that the Chronicle is a vital weapon to defend them.

“They will have to rule a fair sized kingdom to be able to carry out their duties. If they do not, invasions or other disasters could interfere with what they need to do.”

At that, Skyglow wept. “I am sorry that you had to learn those lessons at such a terrible price. Never forget them.”

Changing mood with mercurial speed, she spoke to the twins, “To the top of the tower! I shall show you what you must learn! Really, this can be fun!” With a flutter of wings, she raced up ramps and passageways, emerging on the roof of her tower.

Celestia and Luna were close behind her. Though it had been daylight when they entered the tower, it was now predawn. The sun showed only as glow at the eastern horizon.

Skyglow gently enfolded both Celestia and Luna in a radiant magic like none that they had ever seen before. She laid a wing over the back of each of them and said, “I use the horizon as a guide. Now, feel this as I reach out. We must grip the fabric of the world like so . . .”

In a few moments, the first flare of the sun came to the horizon and the tower roof was bathed in the earliest light of the coming dawn.

--The End--
