The mythos of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has been embraced, explored, and even defined by its vast, loyal fanbase. This remarkable audience behaves like water flowing into empty space, filling any holes with speculation and imagination. And few things are as mysterious as the origins of Celestia and Luna, the nearly godlike rulers of Equestria!
Everyone has their theories regarding the lives of these immortals, what might have lead them to become who and what we see in the show (and I’m no longer ashamed to demonstrate how seriously I take it). Now it’s high time that I, as an artist, painted my own picture of this facet of Equestria’s fabled history, beginning with their first steps into the recently colonized kingdom. Principality. Country. Whatever.
Believe it or not, I’ve been trying to get this done for years now… I scripted it ages ago, and I’m only just getting it set down. But hopefully you’ll find it worth the wait! This will be the first of a series of brief vignettes exploring my vision of the early life and times of Celestia and Luna… Equestria’s Empyreal Sisters.
Yes, that’s spelled correctly. Look it up.
