Celestia didn’t know how long she was in the sun. Time passed differently here; space and physical being meant little. But gradually, maybe over hours, days, or even years, she felt her magic ebb away.

It was not bad. She let it go freely. She didn’t need it to sustain her mind any longer. It had been a gift, and she gave it back to light the sun all the brighter for the ponies below her.

Eventually, all but a little bit was all gone, and she herself began to fade away. She didn’t know what awaited. Maybe a new adventure. Maybe nothingness. Either way, she could not be sure. And that was not bad either.

And then... as she passed... she thought she heard the faintest strains of light, bubbling laughter, coming to greet her.
