Celestia preaches love and peace, forgiveness for all. Never to kill, only to imprison. However, some take up issue with this. A disillusioned squadron of Royal Guards dispensing their own brand of safety and security. Now, she finds her ways questioned and wondering... are they right? Is there no place for truth and justice anymore?

Maybe it is time for a change...

There comes a time when the light must go out; but how do you know if you've burned brightly enough?

Dear Princess Celestia,

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Things seem to be falling through the cracks lately. Spike thinks I should go see the doctor, but...

Few things hold memories the same way as a family recipe. Each time it is made, it allows us to reminisce about the previous times the recipe was prepared and enjoyed with friends, family, and even strangers.

On one particular morning, Applejack is preparing every family recipe she knows for a very important reason.

This story is a sequel to The Fire’s last Ember

What lies beyond death, in the realm of Limbo? It’s hard to truly say, some might see it as the place you go before your final judgement, others might see it as the end all.

Whatever the case may be, there’s always a story to tell...

Could you imagine living forever, living out a life that you thought would never end, only to learn that indeed there is an end? Maybe it'd be a curse... or a paradise? To me it's been a mix of both, though I like to think it's all been good. After living so long it's hard to imagine what kind of things would you regret when you reach the end of the line. Would you be satisfied with a life well lived, or would you think back to the things you've taken for granted-- your life's solitary regrets?

I personally never thought I'd have to answer that question, but here I stand at the brink of that final breath... My thoughts filling with the many memories I've made over the years.

So, would you care to join me around the fire? Maybe listen to a tale or two from an old thestral? The fire'll be dying out soon and I'd hate to leave you in the dark all alone.

This is just a smaller disconnected one shot that touches on a character in an important moment in their life, with hints of stories that might be told in the future.

A young Princess Celestia helps her baby sister discover her true identity.
