On the fourth day of the fourth month of every year, Equestria pays homage to its fallen heroes. As daylight sets on this solemn ceremony, the immortal sun bows before the soldiers who died for her, and whispers an ancient question for which there is no answer.

Tonight, Princess Luna wanders over Equestria, reflecting on her past decisions, and her own self-worth. As much as Luna has grown and overcome inner turmoils over the years, thanks to her sister and friends, she still can't shake the feeling that her night is inferior to her sisters day. But an unexpected admirer of hers stops for a chat.

(commisioned cover art arrived!)
Cover Artist: Vird-gi

I not only dedicate this story to anyone who may be feeling down as of recently, or at any point in their life. But also my cover artist Vird-Gi, who has been feeling a little low lately. Her cover art for this story will be coming soon, but it has been postponed. I want to give her time to feel better and look after herself first, as her well being is more important than cover art.

Hope you feel better soon, dear.

(UPDATE:)
She is feeling better! The cover art came out better than I could have imagined. You are a wonderful artist! I recommend her to everyone!

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

This story is a sequel to Roar

Friendship can only go so far, and after one of those friends goes far enough to take her own life, it leaves the others depressed and forlorn. A chain of six, shattered by one link, until the other five can't even look at one another without thinking about what happened.

Twilight spends her days in a dark Trottingham apartment, chased by memories and haunting visages of what happened. What went wrong. What she could have done.

A visit from Fluttershy may be just what she needs... or another reminder of her failure. Their failure.

In the silence and comfort of the Royal Canterlot Library, a young Twilight Sparkle considers her future while studying the words and thoughts of Princess Celestia's previous students.

An alternative ending to the season 5 finale.

Starlight Glimmer destroys the time scroll that allows Twilight to return to Cloudsdale. With the sonic rainboom stopped, her plan has succeeded, and this time, Twilight can't come back to try and stop her again. She thinks it's over, but when Twilight pulls her into the present, Starlight finally sees what her actions have done.

The world has died and is nothing more than ash and dust. The land of Equestria is a far off memory along with those who once inhabited it. Wandering the empty land is the sole survivor of the cataclysm that brought about the death of the world. Yet this sole survivor is also the harbinger of the world's death. In the final moments of the last living thing in the world, the story of how the world died is told. One of many ways the story could be told and one of many ways it could end. This is the day the sun set for the last time.

Season 5 Wasteland Timeline; No spoilers

Shining has grown old and his time has come. Now on his deathbed, he shares his last moments with his sister.

Audiobook available! Link

Twilight reflects on the past, writing a letter to her friends a thousand years later.

I feel like someone has already done something like this, but it's late, I'm tired, and I needed to vent out some personal sadness. Enjoy it for what it's worth.
