Fortunately, with her friends by her side to help her journey back to the Equestria she loved, Twilight's reign as ruler will help the world heal.
Chapters (4)
Well this story went from 0 to 100 during the middle of the story very fast.
I feel like the story should have a gore tag.
Also Celestia ruled Equestria alone for 1000 years, surley she has some advice for Twilight? I think they should have a conversation.
I thought I had put a tag for "violence" on this fanfic but as I look now I see that it wasn't there. That one description of death is a single instance; there will be no other instances of gore in the fanfiction as it goes on. There will be some minor depictions of violence, but nothing at all graphic or anything. I will of course still add that tag for this scene, and I sincerely apologize for failing to provide said tag when I posted this chapter. Thank you for alerting me to this issue and I appreciate your comment.
Ya... I think it's time Twilight got Celestia and Luna here.
Obviously there out to get Twilight for her accident, is this a representation of what Celestia went through for 1000 years?
Twilight is the ruler of Equestria, that much is obvious, so when they said "she's not our ruler," I think they meant that they don't view her as there ruler due to the accident.
I do have 1 quastion though, can't Celestia still raise the sun? Surley if Twilight is late to raising and lowering the sun and moon, Celestia and Luna could have handled it, right?
Sure there on retirement but controlling the sun and moon looks like a job that could just take minutes, I don't see why Twilight has to take over that job 24/7.
Oh yeah, and great chapter.
Oh my gosh, she is turning into a Celestia 2.0.... This is exactly what Celestia did during the Changeling evasion!
The more I read this story, the more I believe that Celestia and Luna shouldn't have retired atleast for another decade.
I was waiting for her to finally figure that bit out.
Oh good, about time she went to those 2, well this will be exciting for when they have there interaction together.
Yay! A new adventure that's either going to last a couple days to a couple weeks up to a couple months.
Well now I'm excited.
Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate it very much. There are plenty of exciting things to come, and I am glad you have taken an interest in this story! Although it's certainly slow moving, I think that character study we get of Twilight's mind in this story will be impactful, especially with certain events down the line. Thank you for commenting and I hope to have a new chapter up within the week.
Wait... Does Twilight have PTSD?
Ok I have so many questions.
I have other questions but I don't know how to ask those questions so I'll just leave it off with those 2. Also Twilight might need therapy.
Yes, I assume Twilight has some sort of trauma regarding recent events in her life. I am not a mental health professional so I can’t accurately diagnose her as having anything, but PTSD would be my closest bet.
As for the impending deaths of Celestia and Luna, I have no idea how that happened! It wasn’t in my outline of the story at all, but for some reason when I was writing this chapter I just felt like it was a good thing to do for the story. I also firmly believe that no pony in this universe is truly immortal. I think that ponies can live for thousands of years, maybe millions, but the end of life comes for every pony. I think that the coming deaths of Celestia and Luna will end up being essential to Twilight’s development as a leader. Keeping them in the world forever will ultimately hamper Twilight as a leader.
Also, them entrusting Starlight with the secret gives an important sense of poignancy to her dynamic with Twilight. Perhaps it’s a bit of a plot hole or something, but that aspect of the story was very much intentional. Thank you for reading and commenting!
