This story is a sequel to The Enchanted Kingdom
Hello!
I am completely restarting this story as an entirely new story to go live sometime soon. Go here for more info!
Once upon a time, there was a mare who did not believe in fairytales, and a very different mare who did not believe in herself. Their lives intertwined, weaving together a fairytale like no other, filled with chaos and love, friends and enemies, adventures and tragedies. A fairytale they felt would last forever. But it couldn't.
Be it with a bang or with a whisper, everything eventually must come to an end, whether we like it or not—their story is no different.
With nothing left to lose and everything to gain, all Rarity and Twilight can do is make sure it's an ending worth telling.
Final story in The Enchanted Trilogy.
I have moved on from Fimfiction but The Enchanted Carousel is still actively being written and published over on my personal website TALES FROM HOLLOW SHADES!

Well isnt this interesting.
Oh, this is lovely. You write Discord's POV so well, and this is certainly setting up for a very interesting conclusion to the trilogy.
Wow! Going back to the beginning from discords point of view is most intriguing! But, what is he up to? Why is he trying to get ponies to find Twilight?
The plot thickens, even as we know some of the story...
I am loving all the questions this is bringing up! I love this story so much!
Very interesting. So Discord can't control the timberwolves, and is even in danger from them.
EDIT: That part was removed from the final version of the chapter.
What a start. Discord POV from that first seeking night? This has been terribly wonderfully intriguing so far, and it's only made me MORE CURIOUS.
Great start to the final part of TET!
(If I had to guess what's Discord's plan, it's to make Twilight feel as he did, letting ponies find her only to create situations where they can "betray" her. But that's just my half baked theory~)
Ammmmmmmmmmainzing
Yay! I have the feeling this will be epic
Also Discord is sus
Maybe I can follow in real time for once
Alright. Everything going according to plan, but what plan? I'm still standing by my theory that Discord wants everyone freed, the question is why, since his internal monologue here doesn't seem to imply he cares.
Higher res of the cover art for those interested
I am so ready for this. Lets Fucking GOOOO!
We gonna see some fluttershy X celestia or applejack X cadence ?
Just guess from the cover.
I SO want this to end with them defeating discord and Rarity and Twilight getting married.
now if you'll all excuse me i'm gonna go stress scream somewhere
Oh man! This is exiting!

well twilight DID accidentally sorta propose in the last main chapter of TEK so she might as well follow up with that, right?
YAAASSS I am so excited for this!
Well well well, the old goat has a plan or something.
The description maks me nervous, but hot dog am I excited for this!!!
'here we go, folks, the last hurrah for RariTwi'
Unless this is going to be your last fic I highly doubt it :p
You do such amazing raritwi fics after all.

Wait she did? I don't remember that.
Hmmmm... By examining the coverart, I think we can predict the next major relationship in the story. Rarity and twilight riding each other, as they are lovers. Rainbow and Spike are superbros. Pinkie and Luna are "Just gals being pals" with each other. We see Fluttershy riding Princess Celestia... Celestia X FLuttershy confirmed ?!?!?... and Applejack X Cadence.... meh, sure why not?
LETS BLOODY GO. HYPE!!!
Let's freaking go! Really excited for this.
IT'S HAPPENING
HYPE HYPE HYPE
Here we go. Although I would like to curse you for occupying so much of my brain space with the Enchanted Trilogy, the fact that fluffy and well-written Raritwi is what's filling that space means I have to thank you instead. What a beautiful "last hurrah" this will be.
And so it begins...
IT BEGINS
And the world ends because of an idle comment by a random shopkeeper. NPC's are undervalued.
I need MORE!
Glorious
We have liftoff!
Absolutely cannot wait for more!
Discord at the market reminds me of the story that Jonathan Frakes tells at the conventions about his first time on stage. He was in the convention sales hall waiting to go out and saw a display of figurines. There was Picard and all the rest, and there at the very end was his own figurine... next to a sign that said "Free Riker with purchase of any other figurine." Crushed ego.
YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!
Here we go, mothertruckers!

Mono!!!!
Let's go! \o/
Well. It's here! Time to go on another long adventure!
As soon as I finishKingdomi.imgur.com/7drHiqr.gif
I’m so excited! And while I don’t know Discord’s motives, he strikes me as the kind of person who would find winning boring... especially if it means waiting a thousand years for those you trapped to figure out what you did. Stumping someone with a puzzle is good and all, but the real fun is rubbing it in their faces by showing them how easily it’s solved.
Or, um... so I would imagine it is for petty people...
We're off to a great start.
IT BEGINS!
A full chapter from Discord perspective, so interesting.
I think that my guess while I was reading the previous parts is correct, Discord "won" and got his revenge on what he thinks was Twilight and the other princesses betrayal, but that didn't do anything to make him feel better, so he is just now in a situation that brings him no joy and that he can't change by himself (chaos magic seems to have a mind of it's own).
He has conflicting feelings about Twilight and the others, and it is clear that he is still bitter about the whole issue, but his rage has long gone cold and a part of him just wants to move on and stop the "game".
I was in the middle of re-reading TEL, when I checked my feed, and found this.
For some reason, the description of this story made me incredibly sad.
I know I'll love reading it regardless but wow, what a gut punch.
