- Many thanks to my faithful Pre-Reader and all around super-duper best pony, Blood Lord. Go read his story, too!
- This was written during the season 3 hiatus of MLP:FiM.

While journeying out into the Royal Labyrinth, Celestia happens upon a rather sorry-looking draconequus by the name of Eclipse Tumult. While he's skittish at first, she eventually earns his trust. With his help, Princess Celestia hears Discord and Eclipse's story from a new perspective: one leading back to times long before she even existed...

Eclipse was Discord's "Brother", in a manner of speaking. The two had grown up together, moved from place to place together, and been shunned and hated together. Eclipse never left his brother, however... Not until he no longer had one.

May become romantic later on, but we'll see. If so, I'll add that tag.

Here are some of her poems.

They're about rocks.

You're always stuck sitting next to someone for the whole flight...

Me? I got a pony with a fear of flying.

Sometimes, there's nothing you can do.

Sometimes, you just can't fight it.

Sometimes, all you can do is look at what's happening and laugh.

This story is a sequel to A Generic Story 2: Trope Hard

Generic the red and black alicorn OC goes on a journey to discover his changeling heritage while simultaneously discovering he's the seventh element of harmony while simultaneously killing zombies while simultaneously trying to stop his arch nemesis while simultaneously pleasuring every member of the mane 6 while simultaneously remaining completely original.

Take nothing seriously.

It's a long way down.
