ONCE UPON A TIME, IN THE MAGICAL LAND OF EQUESTRIA, THERE WERE TWO REGAL SISTERS WHO RULED TOGETHER, AND CREATED HARMONY FOR ALL THE LAND.

TO DO THIS, THE ELDEST USED HER UNICORN POWERS TO RAISE THE SUN AT DAWN. THE YOUNGER BROUGHT OUT THE MOON TO BEGIN THE NIGHT. THUS, THE TWO SISTERS MAINTAINED BALANCE FOR THEIR KINGDOM AND THEIR SUBJECTS, ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PONIES.

BUT AS TIME WENT ON, THE YOUNGER SISTER BECAME RESENTFUL; THE PONIES RELISHED AND PLAYED IN THE DAY THAT HER OLDER SISTER HAD BROUGHT FORTH, BUT SHUNNED AND SLEPT THROUGH HER BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.
