Their chariot shone like silver, roared like thunder, and blew fire hotter than dragons' breath. And everypony knew the day had finally arrived. The Goddesses had returned.

But everypony had forgotten why the Goddesses had left them...

This was awesome, and I am sad there isn't more.

Not my kind of story, but very well done. Thank you.

An interesting read if a bit depressing and unfortunate for the plucky protagonists.

I enjoyed it. I really did. But I doubt this is the end. Missions that go missing do not go unavenged.

This was super cool and sent chills down my spine!

Wow. Creepy and fascinating at the same time. Extremely well written, very emotional, actually had me feel uneasy and jumpy as well angry and pitying. Really want to know what those shadow things were, and if everyone really died or if something else happened when the spell was cast. I haven't read a story that made me think up possible endings, good and bad, for a long time. This was great.

Why do such amazing stories have to be so short? This was awesome and I do hope to see more come out of this concept.

Thank you for writing and thank you for making my sick weekend much more interesting than it would have been without this story.

If you are looking for more of the same dark, stomach churning writing, stay tuned. This story was a fun little project to take the edge off the writing burnout for a much longer story. And I’m really glad you liked it. Get well soon.

Exactly what I was going for when I set out to write this little story. I like creating tales that leave you uneasy or even upset. As for what happened to everyone, it is up to the reader to deduce. I admit, even I am not sure what happened to Celestial or Luna or everyone else. Either way, I’m glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback. Stick around if you’re looking for more tales that leave you feeling the same as this one.

If only changelings kept even a shadow of their nature like this in the show. Good story, even if for astronauts they were far too willing to go charging into utterly alien environments. Then again, that's sci-fi for you.

I call this a Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma scenario. Congratulations ladies, and congratulations NASA, you are now the start of the cult.

True, but then again they did better than the Prometheus crew, that obviously saw a hostile creepy environment and yet acted like it was the happy pony place we saw here at first until they were all revealed to be Changelings.

I'm curious - is there a basis for the language? I keep hearing higher-pitched voices to go with it, and I want to say it's vaguely Egyptian?

Okay, but I really, really liked this. It's super full of mystery and I wish there were more, but I feel it doesn't really need a lot more than this, honestly.

A bit of levity for the brevity of the fic. Nicely done by the way.

A heart that was in its death thoroughs.

I always thought death was final, not thorough. throes:rainbowlaugh:

A writing living spectral blanket of darkness and terror.

Hmm, can a spectral blanket write? writhing:twilightsmile:

No scones were lit

I hope not, otherwise they would be fiery going down. sconces:pinkiehappy:
