Celestia has become too familiar with the sharp pain of losing a loved one, and after many funerals, has felt that pain begin to dull. But now, with the passing of a special pony, that pain returns in full force, threatening to make her lose control.
As Twilight goes throughout her new life, she takes care to never forget the special ponies that helped to mold her into who she is, even with the pain that comes with the memories. One pony in particular, however, stands out among the rest.
Princess Twilight Sparkle is as eternal as time itself, and yet holds a mortal heart. She knows loss, for she has lost. She knows love, for she has loved. What then, is there left for one who will forever remain?
Transition is never easy. And the past can be difficult to handle alone, especially as the mind wanders before sleep. But for the first time in a millennium, Luna is no longer alone.
