Upon a lonely mountain, there stands a city, the city of Canterlot. In Canterlot, there resides a castle in which two Alicorn princesses live. They go by the names of Celestia and Luna, and they have ruled the whole of Equestria for more than a thousand years, not always ruling together, but they have long since settled any power disputes. Princess Celestia controls the rising and setting of the sun and Princess Luna does the same for the moon.
Princess Celestia is a white Alicorn with a mane and tail composed of streaks of pink, light blue, and light green and she her eyes have pink irises and she has a sunburst for a cutie mark. She stands almost two feet taller than average ponies. She is the elder of the two princesses and is considered to be a wise and gracious ruler.
Princess Luna is a dark blue Alicorn with a mane and tail reminiscent of the night sky and her eyes are sapphire blue and she has a crescent moon for a cutie mark. She stands almost a foot taller than average ponies but looks normal sized compared to her sister. Although she is younger than Celestia and has had a darkened past, she is still considered a great pony and even if she still has some things to learn, she is still considered wise when it comes to personal affairs, especially dreams.
On this day Luna was merely sitting in her room upon her bed reading a book, rather than being outside in the sun or concerning herself with royal duties other than raising and lowering the moon. She dislikes being lonely, but despite the Element Bearers being her friends and the friendliness of the palace staff, she finds herself feeling lost in the modern world even though she has been back from her exile on the moon for more than a year now.
Just then, as she always tended to at least once a day, Celestia entered Luna's bedroom after knocking on the door.
"Dearest Luna, why won't you go enjoy yourself? There are so many things you could do, so many ponies you could see, and yet you lay here in your chambers," Celestia said, trying to motivate her sister.
"Must we repeat this every day Tia? I do not wish to do anything. I am content upon sitting here and catching up on history and other literature that I missed out on while I was away," Luna replied without looking up from her book.
"Surely there must be something that could pull your interest away from these dusty books and dark rooms," Celestia said firmly.
"Well there might be, but it wouldn't last for long," Luna replied indifferently, flicking to the next page.
"Hmm… I think I might have something for you to do that could keep you occupied for quite some time," Celestia mentioned after a moment.
"Oh? What would that be?" Luna inquired dryly, still not taking her eyes from her book.
"Oh forget I mentioned it, surely you would enjoy your book far more than my silly ideas," Celestia returned slyly, she was about to turn and leave when she heard her sister.
"You're trying reverse psychology on me? I came up with the very concept. Yet… you have piqued my interest, explain it to us then," Luna said as she lifted her gaze from her book. Her brow was raised and her eyes sparkled with interest… though Celestia could not place it.
"I seem to recall how you wondered where the humans went since your exile, and how I explained to you the sins for which condemned their race to another world," Celestia started off, building suspension to increase Luna's interest.
"Yes, what of them?" Luna asked immediately, rising from her bed to stand before her sister. She gently set the book down where she was sitting, not letting it bend or crease as she did so.
"I would like you to monitor the humans. See what they do with their lives, understand why they were removed from our peaceful world," Celestia explained carefully. Her expression slightly guarded as she tried to gauge her sister's reaction.
"I see, but why should I do this?" Luna inquired, her eyes already sparkling at the thought of gazing upon humans again. She hid her smile from her sister, hiding her face with her long star strewn hair.
"I would like you to choose a human who is kind of heart and good of mind, and that they fully deserve and would accept the chance at starting a new life in Equestria" Celestia continued, her eyes bright with hope.
Luna snickered. "Indeed, I remember your one birthday party quite well. That's what started your addiction to cake."
"Oh hush," Celestia said, clearly flustered with the fact she still could not break he Her heart giggy at the prospect of what might be to come.
"I shall begin at once sister. I can't wait to have humans around once more," Luna said joyfully. Knowing in her heart that things were going to be different from now on.
"I can certainly agree. They are funny creatures and sure no how to party," Celestia said, her eyes lost in a haze of memory. Within her mind one could hear the sound of rself of the sugary addiction of cake. Darned humans and their peer pressure, but that was a good frickin cake!
"You overthink matters too much," Luna laughed. "Worry not though; for I will see to it that the first human to enter Equestria will be the very best one I can find!"
"Excellent, and let me know when you have selected one so that we may both welcome them to Equestria."
"Of course sister, of course," Luna replied, and with that, Celestia left the room.
Little did Celestia know of course, Luna had already been monitoring the human race. In fact, this had been her goal by withdrawing herself. She already had an excellent candidate, but she would have to wait a bit longer as to make sure her sister didn't have any suspicions.
The truth of the matter was that she didn't just feel lonely, but she felt the need for the attention of a stallion, a stallion who would make her his top priority and would keep her safe and happy.
Of course it would have been much simpler to just chose a regular pony to try and accomplish this task, but she just couldn't find anypony suitable for her desires, plus for a pony to live along with her, they would have to be immortal but the magic to create a male Alicorn does not exist. So she went the alternative route and came across a human who fit the bill more perfectly than she had hoped for, and he fit Celestia's desires to a degree for a human returned to Equestria as well.
"Soon James, we shall be together" Luna said as she walked over to the mirror hanging from her door and pressed her horn against it and disappeared.
A/N: Thanks for reading the first bit of this new story I've started. Now just to let everyone know I am basing the main character off myself, the reasons for which will become clear when James begins explaining the past. I would also like to inform my readers that I used my middle name (James) instead of my first name because I hate how well known I am on the internet for foolish reasons. But don't let any of that discourage you from reading the story. It will be an enjoyable read now that I'm an experienced author and understand what makes a good story.
I truly hope that some readers will find the time to like, favorite, and maybe even leave reviews for this story. Until next time my friends
