❝ The second to rise was the Moon, the gentle glow that guides travellers through the dark. It is said that the Nightbringer first saw the World with glee and awe, almost brought to tears by the beauty of it all; her hair was stars, her laugh at the sheer exhilarance of existence a song. From the mortal wound on her chest blood flowed anew, a silver liquid that spread under her soft weight. The soil drank it eagerly, and from this union purple flowers bloomed before the crowd, a blossoming bed for the Goddess of the Moon.
If Celestia rose with the heaviness of duty, Luna returned to us with the bursting joy of a child. The Moon, ever changing, gifted its Alicorn with a mercurial nature; light and shadow playfully shimmered and smoked around her to the tune of her giggling, so very different from the Sun’s constant, fierce and blinding light. Although undeniably powerful, many years would pass before Luna grew into the fullness of her majesty, for even as the chosen of the Moon she was still small and young, often falling under Celestia’s wing before she grew into adulthood. And yet it was her power, along with the Sun’s, that brought Discord to heel, turning the Great Serpent into stone.
aaaand here’s luna! i tried to do her piece a lil differently since i’m not as satisfied with the way i did celestia’s. again, this is the newborn moon; young, bright, hopeful and incredibly excited to see the world. as she grows older luna settles into her power and role as the night a little better, and her fluctuating magic manifests in her cycle of waning and waxing that i hope to talk about more later :B
