Many idolise the imortal princess's of Equestria: Celestia and Luna. However we cannot begin to understand their sadness after thousands of years of life. A quick story, just to tide my readers over until i finnish writing other projects.

Misty eyes were taken into account over this. I would have probably had a single solitary tear like I normally do if I hadn't already thought of this. Good story my man, you've earned this.

364511 thank you very much :pinkiehappy: always love getting that image! :rainbowlaugh:

364513 I would read your other stuff as well but don't want to get dragged into another 20k+ word fic :twilightblush: But, If it is as good as this one then I give onto you this.

You'll know when to use it.

Wow...just...wow.

This is why I have trouble updating. Stories like yours that pop up suddenly and demand my attention.

Darn you.:rainbowlaugh:

You are making it harder to write my own story.

Good stuff.

This is one beautiful fanfic of both Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. Keep up the good work. :raritywink:

I think I needed to read this... after reading the final chapter of Spark... yes. This is almost exactly what my thoughts were.

Thank you very much for writing this... short though it is, it is so painfully true. No matter what fantasy may say... in an imperfect world, death is a gift, and eternal life is not a blessing, but a curse.

365559 literally holding my glass up to you sir! :moustache:
Exactly what I wanted to put across in this story! Thank you so much for reading! Glad you feel same way that I do about this topic! :pinkiehappy:

I do indeed. Think nothing of it. I may not be a fantastic writer (or I suffer from low self-esteem or some other affliction of the ego), but I am not afraid to speak out when I find the work of another so utterly worthy of praise.
You deserve to be featured on ED... but I am not a member (more of a fringer in the brony community) so it isn't within my power to do that. You'd have my vote though.
:twilightsmile:

365680 no worries, Im not either :rainbowlaugh: but thank you so much :pinkiesad2:

This is a lovely piece, but one plagued with errors. In the very first paragraph you have "site" in place of "sight", two later and there's "immerged" where "emerged" should be, another two ahead and you've left an apostrophe out of "sister's". It's peppered with little mistakes like that, and, piled up, they weaken it. I urge you to proofread more thoroughly, or to find someone to do it for you.

Good looking out.

365721 Yeah :applejackunsure: That's fair enough, really should pay more attention when writing really. Thanks fo the feedback though! :pinkiesmile:

Ya, I was going to mention the same as Mo-go. If you like, I can throw an edit out for you, I'm trying to get some practice as a proof/pre reader

365832 thanks, but it's ok :) I will edit out the kinks tomorrow :pinkiesmile:
Just hope the gramma and spelling wasn't too distracting to the overall effect of the story :twilightblush:

This needs WAY more views. That was really well done, and you captured the emotion of immortality perfectly. My mind refuses to work properly right now, or I would leave you a deep and meaningful paragraph, but please know this is an amazing story.

Well... the ending was way to religious for my taste... I mean they story pretty much said that death is good because you get an eternal life afterwards with your loved ones... I mean... huh? Wouldn't it still be a curse to go to heaven then? Living for all time? True enough with the ones you love but still... it seemed like the story kinda went a bit against its own point.

Also the only reason to be sad over eternal life would be the lose of loved ones? I'm pretty sure if you live for all times one would grow hard enough to look at death like dawn of day. And what if a person lack a sudden amount of empathy then he/she wouldn't care to much about other people dying because they really wouldn't feel anything towards their death, they would just move on and find something to replace what was lost...

Anyway, okay story but maybe a bit overrated in what it was trying to tell... also maybe Celestia should burn all those pictures if they only caused her grief.

366602 :rainbowhuh:.... well then...you're welcome? i guess :rainbowhuh::rainbowlaugh:
Always nice to have a new comenter show how much he enjoyed one of my stories :twilightsmile:

i must say, Bravo
touching story but i did not cry, suprisingly

A touching story, though over the last few days I seem to have stumbled upon so many of its kind that it hardly fazes me anymore. :twilightblush: It's not your fault, of course, it's just that my spring of tears has finally dried. :pinkiesad2:

It's certainly true that losing someone you love hurts the most and an eternal life seems to consists of only such moments. :fluttercry:
When I think about it, I'm surprised that one of the greatest desires of mankind (portrayed in so many books, movies, games, etc.) was to gain eternal life. Who in their right mind would accept such a curse willingly? :facehoof:

382731 exactly my point! never understood the fasination.
But I'm also terrified of death and the idea of never existing again!
Hmmm, go figure :derpyderp2:

This story reminds me of my oc. When you live for so long that a lifetime of a mortal seems like a blink of an eye. When they die even before you recognize them. What is a lifetime of somebody when you see mountains rise than crumble beneath the weight of time.

460735 very nicely said!

I listened to your story as a vocal reading, and have only got one question. What was written in the letter? If it was somepony's death, who's was it? :trixieshiftright:

1433291 Nopony's :pinkiesmile: the it was the friendship report from Twilight about them all having a linked story with their cutiemarks from the series it mentions it. Celestia is just worried about how she'll feel when Twilight and her friends are all just another picture on the throne:fluttercry:

1435944 This is a great fanfic with GREAT sayings at the end,so 6 fluttershys for you::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay:

re-read it about a year latter, still hear touching
