When the day of Twilight's true destiny finally arrives, can Celestia fulfill an ancient promise to save Equestia's past, present, and future, even it means saying goodbye to Twilight forever? How can Celestia refuse her mother's last wish?

Sunset Shimmer and Princess Twilight Sparkle have both been plagued by odd dreams. Romantic escapades and tender moments between ponies they don't recognize that all end in tragedy.

Worthless, weak, ugly—as far as Twilight is concerned, that's all she'll ever be. Even three months into their relationship, Twilight still refuses to believe that an absolute goddess like Sunset could ever love a loser like her. And it doesn't help that Twilight spends every night being tormented by nightmares of Midnight Sparkle, the one being who hates Twilight more than she hates herself.

Twilight can only remember a single moment in her life when she felt strong: the five minutes that she spent as Midnight Sparkle. The five minutes she spent with magic.

Now, tortured by fear, anxiety, and never-ending nightmares, Twilight knows the only way to win Sunset's love is to make herself stronger—even if that means resurrecting the demon inside of her.

Applejack wakes up and finds her friends working outside. Try as she might, it seems that any chore that she comes up with is either already done, finished, or complete. What is it that her friends are planning and why does it have to be today of all days.

"Saying Goodbye"

Those two words, for Rainbow Dash, are some of the hardest things she has had to say. Far too often she has had to say this to friends, family, and now Tank. As she flies home from putting her pet to bed one more time, she has time to reflect on the many goodbyes that she has said in her life.

A time to reflect on the Element of Loyalty's hardest task

Forged in fires of magic and charcoal. Worn with pride, damaged in battle after battle in times when ponies were no strangers to war. Repaired again and again. A regal mare's suit of armour tells a small but significant part of her story.

This is quite the tough story to properly tag. Anyhow, despite the title, this story has no relation to the Halo universe. This is a tentative foray into a new form of narrative style on my part, so any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

Twilight, believing something has happened to her memory, seeks out Princess Celestia to see if she recognizes it and can offer a cure. But the answer lies far deeper in the root of her nature and her life as the Princess of Friendship than she would have ever expected.

This story is a sequel to Chaos Theory

Story accepted by Rose Quill into her ”Homecoming” arc.

   First, though, she finds out a fundamental truth: there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Idea suggested by the estimable Baron Engel, based loosely on real events.
