It wasn't fear of the night that was among the ponies. In fact it was quite the opposite. Ponies were sleeping through it, oblivious to the gorgeous starlight fresco Luna had pored her heart into. Have you read East of Eden? It retells the Cain and Abel story, and one could compare Luna's tragedy with this. Celestia was smothered in admiration and love. Luna, however, felt none, and there is nothing worse than the feeling of being unloved. And it was this pain that drove Luna to do something she would ultimately regret; in this case rebellion.
