After living through a long alicorn life, Twilight's time finally comes. All of her old friends have passed on, but she still has her daughter Nyx by her side at the end. Before she reunites with everyone else, they share a moment.

Nyx is an original character from Past Sins by Pen Stroke. Credit goes to him for her creation. This is my tribute to her and that legendary story which is one of the most loved on fimfiction.

Great job Sam. And Twilight's right, death will claim us sooner or later.

I'm quite moved by it. I mean 5 millennia is a long time, Canterlot would have been a metropolis by then.

Thanks. I hope you'll checkout my other stories as well.

9974216
Sure thing, Sam!

And it marks the end of one journey and the start of another.

A very touching story. It almost reminds me of one of mine. Like my father always says, "No one gets out alive. We all have to cross that bridge one day."

Mort: "Well, living a millennium and watching the death of your loved ones is a difficult fate, but it's nothing compared to the endless life of a reaper and guide of souls."

9974561
Yes, that is why we need to accept death. What's the one you made? I might like it.

9974624
The Last Healing Dragon. It's here on Fimfiction. It's not completely like your story, but it does involve sorrow from "immortality/long life" in places. You'd have to read it to understand. I'll send you a link when my computer is done updating. I'm currently messaging you on my phone. :twilightsheepish:

I just put it in my read later list. You might like my other story Passing On Together if you like emotional stories. It's a bit disliked due to its anti immortality stance I guess but you might like it.

This was a wonderful story, you did a great job on it!

True, rpretty much all immortals in media are the "can't die of natural causes" kind

I always liked Neil Gaiman's Death better.

"Was that it? One month?"

"Yup. Them's the brakes kiddo."
..................

"I'm dead... Hey, a few thousand years. That's a pretty good run, right?"

"You got the same deal as anyone else. One life."

Correct if I'm wrong if you meant the DC Comics character?
P.S. Very few artistic works showing events in terms of ripper, moreover they are mostly depicted as anthogonists.
P.P.S. sorry for my English
P.P.P.S. I personally most like Death from the game "peace death" :)

Vertigo actually. Though I suppose it does take place in the DC verse. so...

9981924
Yeah. Nyx was a loveable character. I wanted to give her a goodbye as well.

9981926
I guess? I haven’t read the story in a while so I don’t really remember her character. I got into the fandom just a few years ago so I don’t have much nostalgia for her either.

9981934
Yeah I've only been a fan for less than two years myself. Glad you enjoyed this story though.

Good read, but now I am in a melancolic mood 😂

“Shh… shh…” Twilight shushed. “Nyx, I want you to promise me that you will stay strong. It’s only for a little longer. Our friends have lived on in our hearts for all this time, and I will live on in yours just as you would live in mine. But I probably couldn’t bear the thought of burying you. No parent should outlive their child. It was hard enough to bury Spike after he fell in battle. I could never have endured it if I’d lost you too.”

:applecry::raritycry::fluttercry::fluttershbad::heart:.

Wonderful one shot:pinkiesad2:.

Do you know where I can get a heart transplant for a buck? I just had mine die from the feels, and I kind of need it?

Sorry, just have to wait.

Very nice concept, especially the tiny detail of Twilight regaining her smaller form once reunited with her friends makes for a really nice touch :twilightsmile: The execution might have been better at times though, as some missing words, runaway grammar errors or the dump of exposition broke me out of the atmosphere quite often.

And I have to agree with you that the addition of Nyx would make Twilight’s predicament just a bit more bearable. (To be honest, I found my peace by abandoning the show sometime after the movie. Spared me a lot of controversial drama and such.)

10012094
Glad you liked it. I started watching the show in 2018 after the movie came out.

Please make a sequel for this where Nyx joins her mother and her friends.

10018860
I have thought about that. Might come out in a couple weeks now that you requested it. We'll see.

This moved me to tears.

10098063
Why thank you. I might be doing something similar to it in the canon version. Though my main version is a story where she gives up her immortality to pass with her friends. Hope you'll check that one out as well. Its kind of a topic of debate whether alicorns are immortal or just long lived, and we don't know if its really being an alicorn that makes them that way. But ah well.

10098068

I did read the next story, and it was also deeply emotional.

10098071
So I noticed. Glad you like them. I will hopefully be getting the next chapter of my Daybreaker story done tomorrow along with an expansion of the second chapter.

Oh man that's sad but I guess that's life but it hurts knowing to that your time is coming up and again as I said before there is a theory that if they transferred their Alicorn Magic to another alicorn they will lose the ability to live longer at least that's just a theory I don't know how it works but it's something like that but poor nyx she has to wait for another centuries then someday they can meet each other again nice job on it

Once again it is like the song from the other story I read kinda reminds me of

Just wonderful, this is. Yes, death comes for all of us. Whyinhell did I manage to dodge the bullet TWICE in the past 30 months? Wish I could answer that.

10565271
Yes it will come for someday, that's why we need to accept it. Sometimes the pain of life is just not worth living forever huh? I know that feeling.

10565301
I'm just wondering how I managed to live twice when I should not have, once through DKA and the other from Covid-19. I've been told I should not be alive. My main question is why AM I still alive?

10565308
Maybe you're still needed?

Ouch. That's sad. This does help with the whole Twilight-outlives-her-friends scenario, though.

10565334
Could be. Don't really feel that way, though.

Awww so bittersweet. At least there's kind of a happy ending

This story is saddening and very touching....it brought me to tears. Lovely story though.
