I'll give it a shot.
 
Day [spoiler]Long ass amount[/spoiler] in Equestria
>You are Princess Celestia.
>And you're pretty sure you're dying.
>If you could guess with your thousands of years of knowledge, this is what it would feel like.
>You gaze out a nearby window in your castle, longing for the feeling of the outdoors once more.
>Only, you are unable to move from your bed.
>You can’t cry about it anymore.
>You already have countless nights in solitude.
>It started when you were just a filly.
>Your mother, Queen Galaxia, being the kind-hearted and giving spirit she is, bestowed upon you the most beautiful golden hoof caps, their shining surface entranced your eyes the second they fell upon it.
>It was your first gift as introduction to the life of a Princess, and besides your crown, your most prized possession.
>They were also all you had left to remember her by.
>Mom had left you and Luna just as Canterlot had come under your’s and your sister’s rule.
>The hole in your heart can never be filled.
>With her gone, you clung desperately to the golden hoof caps, wearing them non-stop, day in, day out.
>And that’s how you got to be where you are now.
>You glance down at the now accursed things.
>The caps, though awe-inspiring and meaningful, are both painful and killing you.
>Your hooves have a natural space in the crux of the heel, which allowed blood to circulate your legs.
>The caps however, tightened and closed the gap, which effectively restricted the blood-flow through your veins and arteries.
>Long before, you dared not remove the caps in fear of insulting your mother’s memory.
>But now...
>You screamed, both in agony and anger.
 
>Your sister bursts into your chambers.
>You turn, feebly attempting to shout.
>But all that slips your lips is a faint whisper.
>C:”Luna...? What are you...”
>L:”What is it Celly? You can’t breathe again? You can’t see? Your head hurts?”
>Oh Luna.
>She has taken on your duties since your illness has progressed to this dire state.
>She alone raises and lowers both the moon and the sun.
>And on top of that, she manages to both watch over Equestria and stay by your side whenever you need her.
>C:”The caps... The damn hoof caps...”
>You cough, the sudden rush of air causing your head to spin, blacking out.
>L:”Celly? Celly?! CELLY!”
 
>You are now Luna.
>And you are panicking out of your fucking mind.
>L:”No, No no no!”
>You grasp your sister’s hoof.
>L:”Celestia, Dammit wake up!”
>Almost as if she could hear you, she twitches her eyes open.
>Her pupils swirl in their sockets.
>You can feel her power fading rapidly, her heart slowing to a dangerously low pace.
>DO SOMETHING!
>You scramble up.
>L:”Guards! Get the doctors in here now!”
>They must’ve been waiting outside the door, because they all rush in just as you ask.
>Nurse Redheart is here, away from P0nyville hospital.
>NR:”Luna, we’ll try to stabilize her.”
>You back away, almost unable to breathe yourself.
>Visibly shaking, you rush out of the room.
>Somep0ny, anyp0ny could help...
>You gallop through the halls, not focusing on your path.
>You trip and stumble, falling to the marble floor.
>L:”WHO DARES...”
 
>You wipe the sweat from your brow, smiling at your work.
>One whole day of harvesting.
>You love working in your farm.
>You are Anonymous.
>The sun beat at your back, your legs begging for a moment’s respite.
>Maybe just a short break...
>You walk over to a large oak tree, and position yourself comfortably in it’s shade.
>This life is as good as a dream.
>Speaking of dreams...
>Maybe just for a short hour.
>Your eyes slowly come to close, and your smile could not grow any bigger.
>This was your last beautiful memory and moment here.
>As you drifted off, you were transported away, spirited to a new world.
>But just where would you end up?
 
>You’d only been out for a moment.
>And someone’s already waking you up.
>Quite rudely in fact, hitting you like this.
>You blink, your sight slowly coming to.
>Is that?
>Marble floors stretched in front of you, leading up to...
>L:”WHO DARES...”
>It’s a horse.
>A talking horse.
>A purplish-blue and black talking horse, with wings and a horn.
>Ok.
>You’re still dreaming.
>L:”WHAT IN CELESTIA’S NAME ARE YOU?”
>She- At least you think it’s a she- is talking directly to you.
“Me? What the hell are you?”
>The creature bolts upright, as you do the same.
>L:”I WILL KILL YOU...”?>She looks distracted.
>Scratch that, distraught.
>She might be angry with you, but from your experience on the farm you know how to be patient with animals.
>That’s what she was, right?
>Just... Intelligent.
“Is something wrong?”
 
>Her eyes widen, purpose filling them.
>L:”Celestia!”
>She takes off, galloping right past you at unimaginable speeds.
>You feel light headed.
>Maybe something’s wrong with you.
>Well, put others before yourself, that’s what mom always said.
>Used to, anyways.
>You dust yourself off, hurrying after the frightened mare.
“Wait! What are you-”
>You follow her through a door, the two of you now inside what looks to be a personal chamber of sorts.
>NR:”Luna, I’m glad you returned as quickly as you did. We need all the help we can... What in Celestia’s name is that?”
>So her name is Luna, and she appears to be pissed at the use of that name, Celestia.
>L:”Don’t you dare use my sister’s name in such a manner! And you!”
>She turns, glaring at you.
>L:”LEAVE US AT ONCE!”
>You peer around her, over the other p0nies surrounding the bed.
>You can just see another large mare, an opposite of Luna in color, and apparently, health.
 
>You feel like collapsing, all of this almost unbearable for your mind to take in.
>But your strength prevails, giving you clarity to answer.
“Let me help you.”
>Disgust spreads across Luna’s face.
>L:”You will not come near my sister!”
>Ok, easy does it Anonymous.
>You asses the ill mare on the bed, your years working with horses helping your eyes to hone in on the problem.
>Ah.
>You only have one shot at this.
>As Luna loses her focus on you, you sprint to the bed, shoving the other p0nies aside.
>Quickly now Anonymous.?>You remove all four hoof caps from the mare’s hooves, as fast and gentle as possible.
>Just as you finish the last, A blunt impact hits your head, and consciousness slowly slips from you.
>Everything is slowly fading, voices sounding distant, but...
>NR:”She’s breathing! Her heart rate is rising and now holding a steady pace! Luna, Celestia’s alive!”
>Luna rushes over from her position behind you.
>Now you know what hit you.
>L:”That’s impossible... I can’t believe it... How?”
>All eyes fall upon the single human lying motionless on the ground, and you slip into the darkness, unable to hear or see.
>NR:”She’s holding on, but she’s still going to need constant attention and care.”
>Luna looks you over.
>A single tear falls from her eye, hitting your cheek.
>L:”The savior... help him. We need him.”
