NEW STORY: Rise and Shine · 10:01pm Dec 12th, 2020
Celestia didn't want very much. She was happy to spend her youth learning how to farm with her adoptive father. She was happy learning how to cook from her adoptive mother. She was happy to play hide and seek with her little sister Luna, and stare at the stars with her on those warm summer nights. But when the world began to freeze with unnatural snow and ice, and the pony tribes began to go for each other's throats, Celestia's world is undone, and all she wants is to protect her little sister, no matter what.
But between ravenous snow spirits, superstitious ponies, and the machinations of those who would use them for their own ends, Celestia will struggle at every corner. Matters only become that much harder when her little sister begins to hear a voice in her dreams, calling her across the frozen wilderness with the only words Celestia remembers her true mother saying.
"Rise and shine."
I'm feeling good about this one. A nice change of pace from Scarlet and my other stories, and it goes back to my roots of just letting the story tell itself. I have no outline and only a vague idea of a plan in my head. I know where it's going, where it begins, and I have ideas for the middle. But beyond that, your guess for the future of this tail is as good as mine. Let's see what it has for us together.
Looks interesting, will read it later.
