New Story Coming Soon, Featuring Art By EnigmaDoodles!

A few days ago, I finished the first chapter of my upcoming story. It will take place after the events of The Last Problem and explore the inner conflicts of Twilight Sparkle with her immortality and King Sombra with his banishment. After showing the first chapter to MayhemMoth (EnigmaDoodles' FIMFiction.net name) on Discord, she gave me a few bits of constructive criticism that I used to improve it before commissioning her. The first chapter will premiere when she finishes the art (no rush), so if you enjoy the first chapter and want to see more, thank and support her too!

Also, enjoy this sneak peek...

Light and darkness…the stories tell that one can not exist without the other…this is one of those stories, where most of Equestria knows this, and can sense that after death, their energies will coalesce into either a star or a shadow, becoming one with either light or darkness…

Those who carry out the will of the light while they are alive become one with the stars after death, and those who carry out the will of the darkness while they are alive will become one with the creations of the void.

Light is not necessarily good, and darkness is not necessarily evil. The destruction the void brings is a product of hopelessness, though it is far more often the darkness that spreads hopelessness, the will of the void to the world. Light far more often spreads hope, thus the two forces will always be in conflict.

Sometimes, the darkness will win. The void will take away those we love through death. But the light gives us a chance to create something everlasting to share with others through life. This is what gives the light, and in turn, our lives, purpose. The power of light is the power to create something from the void.

All of these things are known by Twilight Sparkle’s friends. Unfortunately, now, however, they have died. For our story begins many years following Twilight Sparkle’s ascension to the throne, assuming her role as the leader of Equestria, where her friend whose kindness allowed her to comprehend these things best has been called to the great beyond…

MayhemMoth did enjoy this prologue a lot more than the prologue I originally planned, so I hope this gets you excited to see more!
