//------------------------------// // Authors Word // Story: Chimes In the Dark // by Faindragon //------------------------------// Authors Words Just to clear one thing up. Chimes was finished before Episode 11: Hearth's Warming Eve. (Actually, it was finished before episode 8) I could have changed some things, like that the unicorns once had control over the day circle, but I chose not to, I chose to go with the first episode "The eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn." and use that as the "common fact" in texts, rewritten to fit in with the rest of the story. (The rest of this can be ignored, its just me that let my hands type.) For me, at least while writing this piece of fiction, is the alicorn sisters goddesses, they are the ones who rule the day and the night. It might be that the unicorns had that power a long time ago, but I believe that at this time is it the alicorns alone that know that magic. And one thing makes me think that the unicorns only brought forth the day and night by prayers, and that is the flag in the ending of Hearth's Warming Eve. A flag that, althought the episode was before Celestias and Lunas time, had the alicorns twins on it. It makes me wonder if Celestia and Luna wasn’t goddesses even before. This together with that AJ says "Heaven Above" (or something like that) in the middle of the episode. I have always enjoyed the sound of a harp. My favorite sound is the deep tones, the tones someone might say is the dark tones; the sad tones that strike directly through my heart. I don’t see myself as a musician, I enjoy the pieces but I cannot play. To know what I want about this, think of yourself as a harp. Think about the text you are about to read as a music sheet. Think about your emotions as the tune that emerges from the harp. Look as me as the audience, who enjoys the piece of music that you play. The piece of music that we have created together. Without you, my reader, this would not have been a completed piece. For that I thank you.
