This story is a sequel to Under the Heavens Above

Twilight has never been one for making mistakes; in fact, up until now, she's been doing pretty well with her life. She is an Alicorn Princess, has had a successful academic life and has wonderful friends. But perhaps she has been a little too successful... Now, with her two hidden relationships now exposed to both of the Royal Sisters, Twilight must now face two angry demigods and explain to them just why she did what she did.

Rated T for very light references to affairs and conversations concerning adult situations.

This story is the 'morning after' for my previous fanfic:→ https://www.fimfiction.net/story/293054/under-the-heavens-above

“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.” ― George Orwell

The end of everything Twilight knew and loved allowed something else to seep into what was left of Equestria. Something that had long been forgotten by the only one who had the ability to understand it. To Twilight it is the most jarring, the harshest, and perhaps the most benevolent thing that she could ever imagine ...

Reality.

"Saying Goodbye"

Those two words, for Rainbow Dash, are some of the hardest things she has had to say. Far too often she has had to say this to friends, family, and now Tank. As she flies home from putting her pet to bed one more time, she has time to reflect on the many goodbyes that she has said in her life.

A time to reflect on the Element of Loyalty's hardest task

Five years ago, I screwed up. When I learned my daughter and Princess Luna were together, I tried to stop them. I ended up hurting my daughter, losing the love and respect of my family, and even driven out of Canterlot.

For five years, I have become a broken stallion, living in regret of my actions. With only a small shine of hope, I keep moving forward, hoping I can one day earn my redemption. And now I have a chance to make everything right again. Yet, the cost for doing this is high.

But that's alright. I'll do anything for Twilight.

Because I'm her father.
