A Start To Something New · 1:01am Apr 5th, 2021
Good evening, everyone, and a happy Easter to those that celebrate it. Here's what I'm putting in your basket this year.
The first drops of water were beginning to fall. The sky has been a dark and somber shade of grey for hours, but it hadn't been raining, until now. And the residents of Ponyville were just as somber as the weather. The streets that were normally bustling with life were quiet and still, as if no one had ever lived in that town at all.
It was a sad day indeed. The fifth elemental bearer was being laid to rest in the gardens outside of Canterlot Castle, which meant that Princess Twilight, the sole monarch of Equestria, was the only one left.
Except, Twilight didn't feel like much of a princess today. After watching Rainbow's casket slowly be lowered into the ground, she left the burial service and made a beeline for her bedroom. Moving fast enough to not give anyone time to ask questions but slow enough to not alarm anyone who noticed her. Everyone who happened to spot her avoided eye contact and didn't say a word. Everyone, except for her.
"P-princess Twilight?" The voice resonated through the royal chambers. The speaker knew that she wasn't supposed to pry in the private sectors in the castle, but she also had learned that you should never let a friend suffer in silence.
"Luster..." Twilight stood up and looked over at her door. Her student was noticeably concerned, and Twilight knew she shouldn't be surprised to see her there. Even before her studies shifted from magic to friendship, Luster always had a habit of worrying about others, even when the situation didn't call for it.
But now it did.
Wow, it's really been a while since I've posted a story preview, hasn't it? To be entirely honest I don't think I've touched this since before my apology post. Typically I'll pick and choose paragraphs to post that set the mood of the story without having any major plot points, but this is actually all I have so far. I think I did a lot better with adding details this time, and I tried to make it less melodramatic.
So yeah, post your thoughts below and I'll post another preview soon. (I'm thinking about making this a lot longer than the original, not sure if I'll go through with it though).
This sounds very good so far. I'd definatly like to see more!
