when I lost Luna to Nightmare Moon I was
scared I was all alone
and I wondered how I could possibly
protect my ponies Equestria is an
unstable and dangerous place back then
it was then that she came to me like a
light from heaven
Harmonia told me she could ensure my
ponies
a thousand years of peace but in return
it would cost my immortality yes
anything long as they're safe I knew one
day my sister would return and it would
mark the beginning of the end for me so
I made preparations please know that I
never meant to hurt you but what will we
do without you dear cadence you don't
need me to be the wonderful ruler that
you were meant to be I'm gonna miss you
so much I will miss you too my dear
I never meant to lie to you how could
you how could you not tell me Luna
please I had no choice but I I can't
face the world alone you quote me alone
and on this day I leave my crown and all
it entails to my faithful student me
take your place but princess Celestia I
have the utmost confidence in your
abilities my dearest Twilight I promise
I'll do everything I can to make you
proud I know you will know that I leave
this life with no regrets my legacy is
secure and all of my beautiful children
are happy and safe I ask that the
location of my retirement be known only
to the royal family I wish to live out
the rest of my days as all old ponies do
in peace and quiet comforted by the
knowledge that I have done all that I
can with love Princess Celestia
