This story is a sequel to Tasting Power
In the ruins of a world they were never truly a part of, two fillies travel with only each other as company, yet, the elder starts to have doubts about their destination and wonders if everypony she loves is doomed to leave her, as well as the true cost of raising her little sister in a crumbling world.

Heh..Eragon reference...fitting considering what the spell actually did..the importance of proper spelling everyone.

Yes! I love those books, and that spell always intrigued me-not only incorrect spelling, but poor word choice, and good intentions gone wrong. Let us hope Eragon never writes fanfics.

Icy, this is why I love you (platonically, of course)
Love the turmoil here and how Tia is so close to her sister

Can you tell me “where” is the wrong spell and Eragon reference? I didn’t noticed...
Also, why Tia wasn’t hugging her Luna anymore? What happened to Luna? How she has changed? (In short please, I don’t wanna read sequel :)
Great story, 9/10

Luna no longer fits Celestia’s perception of her.
It’s in the chapter title.

Ah, yeah, now I see, thanks :)
Still this story has unique atmosphere, that even after reading mysterious feeling still lingers...

Thank you! I try to incorporate that feeling like into a lot of my stories.
Heartbreaking and I'm starting to understand why Luna's so messed up. I'm wondering how Celestia grew up to be as sane as she is.

it hurts :)
Lovely imagery. Very suspenseful. Wondering about the clover field where Celestia found out the truth. Is there an order I should read these things?
10255774
The clover field was in The Dark Side of the Sun, which you already commented on. That's all it is referencing.
10255824
Ohhh, now I remember it. It was a reference to Celestia accepting that her parents weren't coming back. I should've gotten that.
10255831
Yeah, sorry that wasn't clear enough for you.
10255832
Nah, I'm just dense.
Lovely and deep story!
