Princess Luna (Genesis 3 Remake)and Epic Backstory

I've been waiting to do this one for a while now, so you know this Segment is going to be awesome. It's is now time to reintroduce you to one of my favorite Equestrian models to work on, so much so that she is one of my main characters of my little graphic novel I'm currently working on. Without further ado, I present The Moon Goddess of Equestria and the Second half of the Element of Passion Princess Luna. Princess Luna is the fourth Equestrian that Lady Maya Doi made a covenant of "Absolute Devotion," but not without almost battling each other to the death and the Covenant itself was interrupted by Luna's Demon Counterpart Nightmare Moon. The fate between Lady Maya Doi and Princess Luna was an event that was eventually was going to happen, because their relationship between them has dated back for over 1,100 years. The two of them were once lovers and was about to be married until the Events of the First Walpurgis Night event happened. The personality between Maya and Luna from their past life to their current one is somewhat of an ironic paradox. Princess Luna adored Lady Maya Matsui as a gracious Deity, and she wanted to be just like her, and the Modern Luna at the time, saw Maya Doi as a threat to the nation because she believed that she's The Demon King that stole her betrothed's body and trying to seduce everyone for his own gain, and yet the two of them are exactly alike. This will be a pretty damn long story, (just like all the other heavy hitters in this universe) So let's go in depth of how Princess Luna came to be.

The Lonely Goddess (Luna a Thousand Years ago)

Before The Sisters begin ruling their land, the two of them spend most of their time together. Back then Princess Celestia was Luna's whole world. She loves playing with her and have their outings together, Luna couldn't be more happy having her Elder Sister with her. All of that changes however, when the two of them began ruling over Equestria. Princess Celestia rule during the day, so she is busy governing the nation and meeting different bureaucrats, and people from other nations. Princess Luna have to rule Equestria at night. Before Luna gain the ability to enter her subjects dreams, she set up a post in her Royal Chamber and watches over her subject while they sleep. This obligation seems very mundane to Luna and she got easily bored and very lonely.  Now that how her Sister Celestia is now running the Country during the day, the two of them doesn't enough time to spend together. Princess Luna was not a fan of how their situation tuned out. After a few decades like this, Princess Luna became very detach from everyone in the castle including Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia tried her best to tend to whatever was bothering her Sister, but Luna won't open up the her. Desperate to find a way to help her Sister, Princess Celestia set oversees to see "The Deity of Passion." Princess Celestia met Lady Maya Matsui at her homeland to talk to her about her Sister Luna, and even brought a portrait of her to see if she is interested in helping her. Lady Maya was awe-stuck at seeing the portrait of Luna and was very interested in seeing her. Lady Maya was interested of seeing Princess Luna because she believes that she maybe the same type of Deity that she is, one who is destined to be loved and to help anyone to find their passion whatever it may be. A few weeks later, Lady Maya and Mako visits Equestria to see the Young Moon Goddess. Princess Luna however wasn't so open to meet Lady Maya. She found her kind of weird and dresses funny as well. Princess Celestia apologies on the behave of her Sister because of her lack of knowledge of the world outside of Equestria, but Maya doesn't mind at all and understand completely about the culture shock between the two. Maya offer her hand of friendship and tells her you can talk to her about whatever you like, she'll be waiting here.

Maya Matsuti and Princess Luna Relationship in the First Few Months.

For the first several months after moving to Canterlot, Lady Maya Matsui was having a difficult time reaching out to Princess Luna. She told Celestia that she can barley get a couple of sentences from her. Princess Celestia assures her that Luna is a lot sweater than she behaving and give her a little bit more time to open it. So Lady Maya continue to wait for Luna to come see her, until one night Princess Luna finally invited Lady Maya to her chamber for the night. Lady Maya was delighted by the invitation and begin preparing to have a sleepover with Luna. After a few hours of staying with Luna while she's at her post, Lady Maya notice that Princess Luna was sobbing during her post. Lady Maya insisted that she speaks to her so she can help her, that's when Princess Luna lashes out at Lady Maya and told her that's it's none of her concern! Princess Luna continues on to rant about how her and Celestia are free to go wherever they want while she stuck here watching over here sleeping subjects and she believes that Lady Maya was here only to get close to Celestia. Notice what she said out loud, Princess Luna apologizes to Maya for what she said to her and wouldn't blame her if she leave right now, but Maya stated that she won't go anywhere without her. Lady Maya was happy that she finally got a chance to spend the evening with her and even was willing to open her true feeling to her so that she can finally get a chance to help her. She explains while it's true that Princess Celestia came to Lady Maya's Homeland and order to help Luna, it was Maya's request that she come live with her in Equestria. She explains how the night in her culture represents a time of relaxation, and celebration, and also the time of passion with Luna will learn once she is older. Lady Maya tells Princess Luna her role as a Moon Goddess is just as important as her Sister's role as a Sun Goddess, because Luna provides dream for her subject to achieve their life ambitions. In fact that there's many people in this castle who loves her and wants here to be here including her Sister Celestia and now Lady Maya herself. Princess Luna notice that Lady Maya says that she loves her and Maya insures her that what she said. The fact that she carries such a big responsibility as young as she is very admirable and because of the ability she possess is one of her main sources of why Lady Maya is "The Deity of Passion," and as a Deity and her friend she will do whatever it for Princess Luna to find happiness within herself and let her know that's she's no longer alone. Luna became so overwhelm with joy, Luna hug s Maya and cries out loud, and Maya holds Luna and tells her it's alright to let everything out. This moment was the start of Their Beautiful Friendship and Romance together.

The Hundred Year Courtship (Lady Maya Matsui and Princess Luna's Growing Relationship)

Since that night together Princess Luna continue to allow Lady Maya Matsui to stay with her while she watches over Equestria. During those time they spent together, their friendship grew rapidly. The two over them have more than enough time to talk about whatever they like. When Princess Luna seem wary about herself and her responsibility as The Moon Goddess, Lady Maya will find a way to cheer her up and feels better about herself. After a while, the two of them becomes more attach to each other and begins sharing each others abilities. By Luna's request' Lady Maya begins teaching her swordplay and archery, and Maya get to learn more about Luna's Magic. Thanks to Lady Maya's ability as "The Deity of Passion," Princess Luna developed an ability to enter our subjects' dreams and intact with them. Princess Luna finally get's to see how much her subjects loves her, and begins to enjoy her position as a Moon Goddess. Further down the with their Relationship, Both Lady Maya and Princess Luna begins to develop a romantic attraction to each other. Maya and Luna seem to always be together wherever they go. Sometimes the both of them would visited the Secret Garden where they dance on the lake. This was what Princess Luna always wanted to do that with her Sister but never got the chance to. From there, their Romance continue to intensify. Lady Maya slept beside Princess Luna, watching her while she's asleep after watching of Equestria overnight, and Princess Luna sneaks at the river while Lady Maya bathes. The sexual tension from Luna has started to develop and Lady Maya has become her object of desire. Thoughts about Maya has become so potent that it become unbearable at times. One night when Lady Maya sets up for another night with Princess Luna, she came up to Lady Maya and kisses her while using her body to push her down her bed. Princess Luna told Maya that she understand now when she meant about the night is for passion, and she been thinking about nothing but to have her right now. She begs Lady Maya to have her now, but Maya won't let something like to happen with Luna telling her that if they where to do something like with her now, it will take the purity within her away from her and she will no longer be the same goddess. Realizing what she was doing, Princess Luna begins sobbing on Lady Maya's chest and said to her "I can't go on like this anymore. You help me in my darkest time, and I can't even express my thanks to you." Maya asked Luna "What is it that you wish for me Tuskihime? What is your deep desire that you want me to grant you?" Luna replies "Stay with me forever. Let me express my deepest feelings to you My Lady. That's all I really wanted." Maya realized long ago that Princess Luna is indeed the very Goddess she believed she is, and knows that their relationship has developed into something neither one of them has went through before, nevertheless; Maya accepted Luna's proposal and told Princess Celestia about it. Celestia didn't hesitate to make arrangements with Maya's Mother for their Special Matrimony, but that day never came to be.

Whatever happen to Luna at that night made her drop into deep despair and eventually turn her in to the demon. Nightmare Moon has taken over Luna's body and nearly killed Lady Maya.

Princess Luna pause to stare at her counterpart before her pony leap to her and give her a heartfelt hug. The two of them hold each other and weep for centuries. During her captivity on the moon, Princess Luna was continued to be tormented by Nightmare Moon, never letting her forget what she did to her subjects and her betrothed. Some nights she cries out to Celestia and Lady Maya to come save her from Nightmare Moon, but those cries were never heard (Maybe except for Maya's Dreams.)

Luna asked Celestia how did Maya came to be like this, Celestia told her about the incident that occurred in Maya's homeland, and how The Demon King Axel Doi evaded it and almost wiped out her entire nation. Maya had to use her powers to seal away Axel to stop him from destroying the country. Luna heard enough and left Princess Celestia to begin her shift as The Moon Goddess.

The Lunar Eclipse Briefing

Dreams of a Young Alicorn Girl crying on the moon continues to haunt Maya Doi for several months. Maya has no ideal why these dreams keeps reoccurring, and it's starting to affect her life. Lady Maya was given an invitation to visit Canterlot for a meeting for an up coming festival. Maya had ideas for the festival that conflicted with Luna's ideas and the both of them had their moment as soon as they first met. Soon after the meeting, Princess Luna confronted Maya and told her that she knows that she really is the Demon King Axel and she will not allow what happened in Maya's homeland happening in Equestria. Despite Princess Luna find out who Maya really was in the past, she told her that she isn't interested about conquering Equestria and wants to be left alone. While Maya continue to walk away from Luna, she shouted things about Aexl's past and about Lady Keiko which sets her off on a frenzy! Their pony counterparts have to interfere so the two of them stop fighting. Maya calm down and left the hall way, but what she said to Luna during that moment stuck with her and she took the shawl that Maya left went when looking for her. By the time Princess Luna find Maya, she found her kissing Princess Twilight on the stairway. Angry and completely distraught, Princess Luna left to her chamber clutching Maya's shawl with her hands. inside her room she continues to curse Axel for never letting her get a chance to see Maya again so she can apologize to her. That's when a familiar and an uninviting voice reappear to torment Princess Luna once again. Luna ward of that entity and decided to make sure that Axel will never betray them.

A few days later Twilight Sparkle when to the cathedral to talk to Luna about Maya Doi. Princess Luna didn't expect Twilight to found her like this and asked her what she want. Twilight told Luna that she knows that she's been sending her Duchess nightmares and wants to know why she would do just a horrible thing to her? Luna scorns Twilight for even questioning her and for her lack of knowledge about who she really is. When Princess Luna notice that Twilight saw her holding Maya's shawl, she opened up to her about her relationship with Lady Maya Matsui, and how the both of them was really close to each other. But Luna couldn't forgive Axel for destroying her chance to bring Maya back to her, and taunts Twilight for making a convenient with the fake Maya. Twilight explains to Luna that it's because she knows about both Axel and Maya's past that she's so connect with her Duchess and another reason is that Maya remind her so much of Princess Luna. Twilight realized that Luna still loves Maya and all she wanted is to reconnect with her. Twilight offers her hand to help Princess Luna and Lady Maya to reconcile their differences and be together again and once a convenient is fulfilled between them, Twilight can come visit Luna so she can be with her as well. Later that night, Princess Luna returns to her room confuse about what happened at the cathedral, but nonetheless, she actually was going to get a chance to see Lady Maya once again, but that strange entity has once again came back to torment Luna wants again. The Entity teases Luna about how her new crush with Twilight is now consummating with The Doppelganger and how much she wants to join them. Luna gasp for air and kneel to the floor while the dark entity continued to torment her about reconcile with Axel. Princess Luna demand the entity to disappear from her and never show itself to her again. before it left, the entity tells Luna to visit Maya's dream so she can see for herself how she really feel about her. After Luna compose herself, she decided to visit Maya in her dreams for the last time to talk to her this time.

Lady Maya finds herself once again stuck on the same dream that's been haunting her for months, but this time Maya became self aware and calls out to Luna to come and face her. The two of them faces each other for the second time, and Maya reveals everything she knows about Luna's past. Princess Luna was shock about how much Maya knows about her past, and finds her too dangerous to remain in Equestria, and she told Maya that she will never end this nightmare until Axel's soul is gone completely from her body. Maya realized that there's no way she can avoid a fight with Luna, so that set up a time where they can meet each to duel.
