Hi, name's XenoPony. I'm an avid pony writer and fan fiction author with a wide range of stories.

Centuries have passed since Twilight Sparkle became a princess of Equestria. Yet her rule came at a great cost, and long after her friends have gone she lives on. That lonely fact has been slowly killing her, yet she has always stuck by the ideals she and her friends once stood for. One meeting could challenge that however, and make her wonder whether or not she can truly call herself the princess of friendship.

This.....this was amazing. You captured her inner turmoil perfectly. This is one of the best centuries old Twilight fics I've seen.

You did very well. There isn't Mich more I can say on the matter.

7411685 Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed:twilightsmile:.

I like how it was left ambiguous whether or not the Changeling was actually telling the truth; after all, Twilight has no way of knowing if the culture that bred centuries of conflict has changed at all.

I would have had serious issues if Twilight had given in to her resentment. Or at the very least, if she had tried to justify her prejudice.

She doesn't need to justify "prejudice", because it isn't prejudice. Alicorns live a long time and changelings personally threatened her and her friends. She might be unfairly judging ]him, but in this context she apparently has a least a century of experience with how changelings act/behave. Her judgement here is on changelings as a race and him, indirectly, as belonging to such. If a fairly peaceful species of alien came along they would consider humans to be quite prone to violence and not be wrong. It might be wrong to see one particular individual as a direct threat without evidence, but reasonable to think them quite capable of violence.

Incidentally, this story seems incomplete and unfinished, like it ought to resolve on an actual agreement with this queen (a treaty perhaps) regarding future relations. That is, an actual codification of explicit trust rather than simply an intimation of the possibility.

7411685 Eh, i didn't really see it. It's a decent fic, well-written, but nothing amazing. The best 'Centuries-old-twilight' story I've read, and possibly the best fic I've read on this site, is one about Twilight developing alzheimers. I forget the name, but you'll find it if you look at the most popular stories, (The premise is to do with Spike writing letters to Celestia).

An excellent job. I don't have the words to say more.

7415111 already on my to read list.

I was just meaning most of these fics have her being rather depressed and so on so its nice to see one where she does feel sad but isn't basicly moping around about the lose of her friends plus most people can't do an inner conflict like this one well and the author did it well so compared to what I've seen this is very good.

I'm not sure I agree with the sad tag exactly. The only sadness here was the memories of her friends' loss, which weren't really connected to the conflict at hand. This was more suited to the Drama tag. I also didn't feel at any point like Twilight was questioning her standing as the Princess of Friendship, in contrast to how the story was described.

Regardless, the story was fun.

Even immortals need to be reminded who they are on occasion.
Keep going! ;)

Nice Story, are you maybe to planning to continue it with a Sequel?
I am sure it has a lot of potential :twilightsmile:

A very nice little character study.
I especially liked that, in regards to her immortality and her friends' deaths, it is about more than just her personal loss.
She tries to uphold what they together stood for, but feels lost without them as her moral compass.
She is the Princess of Friendship, yet she is too scar(r)ed to make deep connections with mortals and, like centuries ago, feels like a fake in need of purpose.
