I typically try not to be rude or condescending, but if I do come off sounding that way then I’m sorry.

I would never even get to tell Spike the truth how I feel

Hmm... interesting headcanon. :moustache:

This was surprisingly intense. I don't have time to point out everything, but you're missing a few words, and some words are misspelled. Other than that, great job. :twilightsmile:

WOW so great. Wonderful pacing and word choice.👍

I just read your story, and I gotta say...

This was a dark, emotional, and awesome read!

You’ve definitely earned this comment, like, and fave I have given you.

There were a few errors that I found in the story, really. Ones that I will gladly point out:

I hadn’t felt so lost, so... our of place since Twilight had first turned my village against me.

The ‘our’ in that sentence should instead be ‘out’.

As soon as Twilight was gone, leaving me as acting headmare, I had returned to my office to gather a few things to aid in my temporary role, but not two seconds after I had stepped back out into the hall, something collided with the back of my head and I was unconscious before I even knew what had happened.

Here’s a remake of that sentence:

As soon as Twilight was gone, leaving me as headmare, I had returned to my office to gather a few things to aid in my temporary role. But, not two seconds after I had stepped back out into the hall, something collided with the back of my head and I was unconscious before I even knew what had happened.

"Oh, you're awake?" That voice. It couldn’t be her. There was no way. "You've been out for so long I thought I might have hit you just a little to hard."

The ‘to’ that is between ‘little’ and ‘hard’ should instead be ‘too’.

"Cozy? What's going on? What'd you do?!" I was getting very nervous.

A recommendation to make it more natural for her:

"Cozy? What's going on? What did you do?!" I was getting very nervous.

"Oh don't worry Starlight, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just going to stick you in that ball of magic over there until it get's sucked into an eternal void of empty nothingness with you inside it," She said in an unsettlingly chipper tone.

The word ‘get’s’ should instead be ‘gets’.

Before I had a chance to respond, she had taken a rag and shoved in in my mouth.

The ‘in’ that is between ‘shoved’ and ‘in’ should instead be ‘it’.

Cozy put her head onto my barrel, and pushed my towards the circle.

The ‘my’ in between ‘pushed’ and ‘towards’ should instead be ‘me’.

There was no kindness behind that smile though. There wasn’t any joy, or fear, or anything else you’d want to see. Behind her eyes was nothing but a malicious desire to everyone and everything under her control.

I recommend placing the word ‘have’ between ‘to’ and ‘everyone’.

I hadn't noticed until now, but as soon as I had passed through the edge of the bubble, the ropes binding my legs, and the cloth that had been place in my mouth were gone.

The word ‘place’ should instead be ‘placed’.

Then she looked me dead in the eyes. Her facade of innocence gone, replaced with a malevolent smirk that still gives me chills just thinking about.

The word ‘gives’ should be ‘gave’. To prevent the sentence from moving into the present tense, unlike the others which are past tense.

Everything; all of the magic in the world being stolen away, and the one who was doing it, was right under our noses the whole time.

Replace ‘Everything;’ with ‘Everything:’.

I’d spent years of my life brainwashing everypony who crossed my path, convincing them to give up their special talents, and join my village, all because I was bitter about being forgotten by my foalhood friend.

I think the ‘I’d’ should instead be ‘I had’. To make things more specific. I also recommend putting a ‘Before this,’, before the ‘I had’.

So yes, I cried. I’d wasted most of my life, and now, I was either going to die, or go insane after spending decades alone in silent darkness.

Again, the ‘I’d’ should instead be an ‘I had’.

Other than the errors, I deeply enjoyed reading this and found it to be something worth my time.

Thanks! I appreciate the fave and the feedback. I'm just sorry that my spellchecker doesn't work half the time and that I'm terrible at catching mistakes.

Woah, I did not expect that, honestly I didn’t think Spike was even going to be mentioned. Can you tell me why you think that Starlight has a hidden crush on Spike?(I love that ship btw)

I'll be honest, I kinda just like the idea of it :P. I think they're cute together and I'm a bit of a hypershipper.
