In a realm where magic intertwines with the very fabric of existence, profound knowledge abounds. It was during the nascent dawn of creation when magic first served as a bastion against the ravages of war. With the guidance of the ‘Father of Knowlege’, the land was christened Equestria by the first beings, revered as deities, (progenitors of all races.) These primordial entities were known as the Alicorns, esteemed equals to the Mother and Father of creation. My father would often speak of Galaxia and Cosmos, their name evoking the vastness of the cosmoses and the shimmering beauty of a galaxy. As he narrated their story, his voice would soften, as if the very stars were listenin’.
“Galaxia and Cosmos,” he began, “were not merely; they were the embodiment of harmony. Their love was the cornerstone of Equestria, a testament of the unity that bound all creatures. Galaxia, with her hair like the spiral arms of a nebula, was the beacon of sagacity and finesse. Cosmos, whose eyes held the twinkle of distant suns, was epitome of strength and protection.” He would pause, his gaze distant, as if recalling a memory from another life. “Their union was foretold by the ancients, a confluence of two souls meant to guide the world through times of tranquility and turmoil alike. Together, they raised the sun and moon, ensuring the cycle of day night, the rhythm of life itself.” As a child, i would sit, enraptured by the imagery he conjured. “But their relationship was more than duty,” he continued. “It was a dance of equals, each step a melody of mutual respect and unwavering support. When Galaxia spoke, her words wove spell of solace and benightment. And when Cosmos stood by her side, his presence was a fortress against the shadows.”
Their love bore fruit in the form of daughters, each reflection of their parents’ virtues. And though their reign was long and prosperous, it was their bond that truly shaped the destiny of Equestria. For in their unity lay the power overcome any adversity.” closing the book, my father would look at me, his eyes twinkling with the same light i imagined cosmos.’ The next chapter of the tale, my father would say with a contemplative gaze, “revolves around the daughters of Cosmos and Galaxia and the pivotal role they played in the annals of Equestria” He’d clear his throat, the timber of his voice taking on a narrative’s cadence. “Celestine Aurora and Selena Aureole,” my father would continue with a knowing smile, “are now known to us as Celestia and Luna. Their names have become synonymous with the day and night they so lovingly govern.”
“Celestia, once known as Celestine Aurora, is the radiant sovereign of the day, her gem of dawn a beacon of hope and renewal. Her wisdom guides the sun’s path, a testament to her mother’s legacy of enlightenment.”
“Luna, formerly Selena, watches over the night tender vigilance. Her sapphire, the gem of dusk, is a wellspring of mystery and introspection, reflecting her father’s enduring strength. The transformation from princesses to the revered rulers we know today was a journey of growth and self-discovery. As they as they embraced, unshaken, a constant amidst the ever-changing tapestry of the heaves.” My father’s voice would grow softer, he’d narrate the un-folding challenges in Equestria. “ The sisters, Celestia and Luna, worked harmoniously to maintain the equilibrium of the land . Yet,... An unexpected turn of events began to strain their unity. Luna, who graced the night with a constella-tion of stars, observed her subjects sleeping through the nocturnal wonders she crafted.” He glances at me, his face etched with the seriousness' of the story. “They basked in the glow of Celestia’s day, danced in the sun’s radiant embrace, and lauded the daylight. This imbalance nurtured a feeling of envy within Luna’s heart, a sentiment as silent and profound as the night sky.”
“The adoration for the day eclipsed the appreciation for the night, and Luna, feeling her efforts were in vain, developed a growing bitterness toward Celestia. It was a divide that expanded with each with each dusk, a subtle rivalry that risked upsetting the harmony they had so diligently upheld.” my father read, his voice—a soft echo in the dimming light. I could sense the story reaching its pivotal moment, and i urged him to continue.
“Father, please, tell me more. How did Celestia and Luna become so well-versed in magic? Did they have a teacher? "My father nodded, the corners of his mouth turnin’ up in a knowin’ smile. “Ah, yes, the source of their magical abilities. Celestia and Luna were indeed students of great master. They were tutored by none other than Star Swill the Bearded, a wizard of legendary status whose knowledge of the arcane arts was unparalleled. "He leaned forward, as if imparting a great secret. “Star Swirl was not just a mentor; he was a visionary who saw the potential within the sisters. Under his guidance, they learned to harness the raw energies of the universe, to weave spells of great complexity and power. He taught them that magic was more than Incantations and rituals; it was the language of creation itself.”
“Their education was rigorous, filled with challenges that tested their limits. But it was through these trails that they discovered the true depth of their abilities. Star Swill’s teachings were not confined to the mere manipulation of magical forces; he instilled in them a sense of responsibility, a duty to use their powers for the greater good of Equestria.” As the fire in the hearth crackled, my father’s tale seemed to come alive, casting shadows that danced like the spirits of the story he told.” and so, Celestia and Luna grew to be more than just rulers; they became protectors, guardians of the realm, their magic a beacon of hope for all creatures great and small”
With a final turn of the page, “Star Swirl was more than a mentor to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna; he was like a father to them. He taught them not just magic but in life about ruling a kingdom with grace and wisdom.”
“The pillars of Equestria,” he’d continue, “were a group of legendary heroes, and Star Swirl stood among them as the leader of the group. Their battles were stuff of legend even in their sacrifice for freedom.”
As the shades of dusk (just like my name) fell upon our home, my father would often close the book of tales with a gentle finality. “Its time go to bed, Dusk,” he’d say, his voice carrying a gentle tone. “Just a bit more, please,” I’d plead, but he would shake head, a smile playing on his lips. “No, my child,” he’d respond, tucking the heavy quilt around me. “The stories will be here tomorrow, the next day” with a kiss on my forehead, he’d extinguish the lights, and the room would be enveloped in the comforting embrace of darkness. “Goodnight,” he’d whispered, and i would close my eyes.
And so, this story pauses just as my father would leave it, leaving space for a new chapter in which I would make it in the future.
