Moving On

Another town, another tavern. Drinks flowed freely, and spirits were high. It was the perfect setting for a story, and, of course, for a little music. The mare in the corner smiled, strumming her lute’s strings. As she did, nearby patrons turned her way.

Seeing that she had their attention, Lyric smiled. “Good evening, everypony.” Her voice was clear, ringing into the crowd. She strummed again. “On a cloudless night such as this one, the moon hangs high above us, shining for all to see. And, all over the world, the waters follow its path, for the waters and the moon have a special connection. But… do you know why this is so?”

A curious murmur rose among the listeners. Lyric’s smile turned into a grin. “Well, then, gather 'round, for the tale is about to begin…”

......Was making this a separate chapter really necessary? That was less than 200 words. You could have just put it at the end of the previous chapter. ::unsuresweetie:

Oh, well. Congratulations on a well done story. :twilightsmile:

It was a stylistic choice, and I wanted it to be a proper epilogue rather than tacked on at the end of the last chapter. I'll go into it more in depth with my next writing reflection.

Still, thank you very much. I'm glad that you enjoyed this story. :twilightsmile:

A great ending, seeinge Lyric learn and hone her skills in rememberance. Thank you for this story :ajsmug:

It's an honor that you decided to give this one a chance, and I am very glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you very much. :twilightsmile:

Great story!!! I have to listen to more Of Monsters and Men now! :pinkiesmile:

Aww, thank you so much!

And yeah, they're really great. I love how their songs all feel like stories of some kind. I love Dirty Paws and Slow and Steady for that reason.

One of the better bands of today I say. The Dear Hunter is a really good band that has that similar kinda style. I recommend them if you haven't heard of them already.

Anyways, I gotta start reading your other stories because I can already tell you are a fantastic writer!

I don't know about them, so I will definitely check them out! Thanks for the recommendation!

And oh goodness, thank you so much! I hope that you enjoy the rest of them! :twilightsmile:

I am so, so sorry that it took me this long to see your comment! I really appreciate you reading and I thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad that you think that this all fits together well. And if you read through some more (if you haven't already), you'll find a few more small easter eggs from the song hidden in there. :raritywink:

Thanks again!
