The Night's Stars Chapter 27 Preview/Teaser · 9:58pm Jan 16th, 2020
The tentative release date for The Night's Stars Chapter 27, "Ceremony" is in one week, on 1/23/20, at 5 P.M. E.S.T.
It feels like it's been a long time since I've released a new chapter, but it's only been just over a month. I'm still behind on edits and as such I'm behind on writing... mostly I'm struggling with drafting the chapter I'm working on right now, in that the start of each scene has been a challenge. It also doesn't help that I've given more thought to the following chapter(s) than this one.
I have to admit, finding a good section for a teaser was a challenge, although it always is. But without further ado, a short excerpt from Chapter 27 is presented below!
She glanced back at Cadance with a bitter glare. "Sister wasted Twilight when she threw her life away."
Cadance frowned. "She wouldn't do that, and I think you know that."
And she didn't understand. "But then what?" Nightmare asked. "Why? Why did she say that she had a student? Why did she take the risk that I would...?"
"She made a mistake," Cadance said softly, taking a step towards her and lowering her head. "She loves you."
Nightmare just shook her head and snorted. "You fell for her deceit just as Luna did." And that was the truth.
But Cadance replied, "I'm the Princess of Love, Nightmare Moon." Once more, Cadance paused to shake her head in such a pitying manner that made her feel sick. "I may not have been there one thousand years ago, and I wish I had been, because I know how much it tore her apart. I wasn't there to see it, but I've seen how much it hurt her. I've seen how much it hurts you. I've seen how much she regrets it.
"And I know how much she loves you," Cadance finished.
Can't wait! Also, that excerpt is excellent.
