It's done.
A battle that our mother has promised would come happened.  But she was not successful. By morn, the Sun Tyrant announced the defeat of her younger sister with tears in her eyes. Although we gasp along with many other ponies, we know that this is exactly what she was intending to happen. To get a chance for our most precious Queen to be sent away, killed or such in a way that would make all other ponies in the kingdom lean and love Celestia. She then leaves, and as soon as the crowd disperses, we climb back through the stone hole in the ground under a lid. Nopony has touched it, which is great, since the passageway to our kingdom is this same one. Once we arrive back home, I wait in the throne room, feeling defeated. I then walk over to the stand in which I would stand and read out letters from Princess Luna on news of the outside world. And then, a flash of blue light appears and a scroll is there, crisp and ready to be read. I read it and the message on it says:

To my dearest Ponies,
Do not despair. Time is of esscence, and you must make as much of these thousand years as you can. I will be more than happy for you to send me letters via the stand in which this letter is being read out to you, and I will answer it. I promise, I have more than enough time to spare.

I would like you to grow the lunar plants along the cave moon windows , and you shall receive what will be a fair share of food for each and every one of you. I shall make Moon Cult your leader, and his legacy will be the rulers until I leave this wretched jail. 

My dearest ponies, in all love and hope , I shall get back to you.

Queen of Moonlight,
Princess Luna

I roll the scroll back to its first condition. I look around before announcing something.
"Everypony, let us gain the lunar seeds right away. I shall lead your way."
And so, we begin walking around the kingdom in search of the seeds. I lead some ponies out from our kingdom through the stone hole. In rare case, lunar plants can be found outside in darkness, and it must be under the soft glow of the moonlight; neither full nor half.
Suddenly, I notice a familiar looking blue being. It stands proudly near a stone. I and my team walk over to it and find out that it is the plant we have been searching for.
"Rafflesia, you are good with plants so you should get some seeds from the plant. Be careful not to hurt or harm it in any way." I say in a non-formal voice.
She bows before me and says a phrase:
"Yes, my king. But shouldn't leader go first?"
"No this time, my little pony. I shall protect you from here."
Rafflesia then stands on all fours and walks to the dark blue lunar plant. She touches a bloomed flower gently. Then, she takes a leaf nearby and put it under the flower. She shakes it gently and some shining little things come out and fall on to the wricked leaf.
"I have some already. Should we get more?" Rafflesia asks.
I shake my head.
"I sense danger already." Rafflesia nods and follows her team back to their kingdom.
I open the lid slowly using my hoof not to cause any voice.

Then it happens.
