“For many aeons have I been lost here;
forced to wander the endless space and void
of the world which lies betwixt life and death.
My name; Cosmos, a Knight of Harmony
not unlike yourself, miss Twilight Sparkle.”
The ancient stallion sighed, quite as if
he was guilty of no less than life's end.
“I am, as you are aware, the father
of the one you call teacher and princess;
the radiant sun which rises each morn;
she whom had expelled the darkness and night
from her kingdom of light and happiness,
so that her subjects may all live in peace
and harmony, free of discord and pain.
But alas, all of my wandering here
has failed to bring mine true absolution;
to my tortured soul which failed to foresee
the loss and torment of my belov'd daughter
who raised the moon each evening; who painted
the darkened sky with her beautiful stars,
assembling them in such wondrous patterns
to be admired by all of her lands.”
