I have been climbing this stairway forever. I don't remember when it started. I don't know why I'm doing it. I just know I must reach the top of the tower. Something is waiting for me there.

But this is not as easy as putting one foot after the other. Four mares await me. They hold the questions. I hold the answers.

And it scares me to death.

Whew!
I'm not sure it was wise of me to read your text to nigth, I was maybe a bit too tired to fully appreciate it.
Nonetheless, I can really see the work behind both How I Became an Alicorn and this new strange and beautiful story.
I wonder about the incomplete. Does that mean you have more thing on the same theme comming up?
Because there is sure a lot of question about the setting that could be asked. Answering even a few of those would be great!

I enjoyed reading this story in the contest. I felt like facehoofing though when I found out you were the author. It should have been obvious with how many of your stories I read, but I never made the connection.

so there is a more to this story!? I wander what happened to Equestria, it sounds like it doesn't exist anymore for a long time, and why are the princesses looking over those humans who go to great the beyond? So if I understand it correctly, the boy died in the Eastern war front of WWI right?

6842206 First thing first, it is complete. I just made a mistake while creating the story back when I wrote it in... what? November? December? So, yeah, I forgot to double check that detail.

So, I'm afraid this story does not have new content planned for. Honestly, considering where the main character has arrived in the end, I don't think it would be in my best interest as a writer to even try to write that place.

6842528 Was it really that obvious in retrospect? :rainbowhuh:

And here I thought this one was a bit different. Eeeeeh, to be fair, yeah, I know, recurring theme, archetypes, all that. I am a predictable thing. At least, I can finally say I wrote a spiritual piece. It felt pretty damn cleansing on the inside too for some reason.

6842558 There is more lore to the story itself, but I won't be adding to what you have there. If you want some answers... well... infodump: There is no more Equestria. It's been gone for a long time. Immortals go to their own place in due time. There is more than one way to reach the top of the tower, but the path is always ultimately the same. They do not watch over humans, specifically. The White Tower is not a place but a journey. One day, the princesses will find their own.

And finally, I'm just going to say, he was probably around that place and that time, but I don't want to get into details.

6842619 Well, I was more wondering about the nature of the Tower and why the 4 Alicorn are there, what they are doing here exactly. I do not think there was anything to add to Philippe's story.

Beautiful...
...CAN SOMEONE STOP CUTTING ONIONS!?
