Lullaby

Rose's POV:

It was 3:00 am. Everyone was asleep. But me, I was jumping out of bed, and running ti the portal grounds. I always came here before the sun risen.

I felt a few tears fall down as I watched the meter portals lifeless frame stand tall. It reminded me of things I didn't want to remember.

(Cue song)

Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have sent you away?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The harmony's silent today

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep

I didn't know how bad it hurt her, or how great it led to her corruption. If only I had done something for her...

Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I"

So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed

If only I had known she was sad. If only I had reached out to her. But, I was to caught up in my studies to realize her pain.

Lullaby moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind

Soon did that pony take notice that others
Did not give her sister her due
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew

I remember hearing her cry in her room. I tried to go in, she yelled at me and slammed the door. The next minute, she wasn't herself. A monster under her skin, but with the same burning hate for me.

But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed her most

Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

I remember that night. Fighting her, sword to sword. I knew I wasn't going to hold much longer. The Academy's eyes were in us, waiting for me ti bring back our little Madalyn. But I couldn't.

Then, I grabbed a spell book, and said an enchantment. Then, a blast sounded, and my sister was being flung back, into an open portal. She dissappered behind it, the portal closing after. The Academy was silent, then clapping was heard. But in wasn't celebrating. They all hushed when they heard my sobs.

The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own

May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you; I miss you
All these miles away

May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
Sleep...

I miss you Madalyn.
