What does it mean to truly be the Princess? To always know what to say, how to fix any problem, when to act for the good of your subjects over yourself? If this is the truth, then Princess Celestia certainly was not ready to become the Princess in the first place. Now, as she sees herself reflected in the new Princess Twilight, she decides to tell Twilight the story of her past in the hopes that she might learn from her successes along with her failures.

I love it so far! :D Flawless writing style, great use of the characters, and a fantastic concept!

Definitely fav'ing this one :3

2502509 Thanks so much for the review and the favorite! :twilightsmile:

I'm calling it know. Number #5 will be Chrysalis.

Great chapter for a great story. I can't wait to see how Luna and Sombra interact...will he eventually corrupt her? o.o

Also, Queen Aurora's kind of a jerk...I can't wait to see if Discord will pull one or two "harmless pranks" on her ;3

Ooh, I love what you're doing with the character of the Princess...from a writer/literary point of view. Great use of mystery and a morally ambiguous character. :pinkiehappy:

...however, from a reader point of view, I am possessed by a sudden desire to say the following:
"GGAAAAAH WHAT IS THE PRINCESS HIDING?!?!?! I MUST KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :flutterrage:

write moar plz"

:rainbowwild:

Thanks for the great comment again! Having such a response is what has been keeping me going! :twilightsmile:

When is the next chapter going to be posted.

Sorry for the ridiculously long break between chapters! I got kind of bored and stuck with writer's block towards the end of last season, but now that season 4 is in full swing, my interest has returned! Hopefully I will be able to make a more regular this schedule this time around... :twilightblush:

We need more.

o_o

I am still processing how ingeniously this scene was crafted. You crafted this in a heart-wrenchingly tragic and painful way through its implications...since this was not the only time Celestia had to live out her worst fear of betraying her sister and friend. It is difficult for me to express how beautifully you built this chapter to drive a spike directly into the reader's heart. Well done.

This is interesting, this is good.

But dear lordy this story needs TAGS.

I was terrified to read it, is it dark? sad? comedic? etc...

Please put some tags on it. And submit to some groups too! Let more people read your work! :twilightsmile:


4233633 Thanks so much! Your comment totally made my day! :twilightsmile:

I spent a long time debating how to go about writing this chapter (part of the reason why I took so long to post it...), but I am pleased with how it turned out as well!

4234325 Thanks for the comment, and I definitely agree with the problem of my lack of tags... I was hesitant at the beginning to use any because I wasn't completely sure which direction I was going in (and I think a lot of the tags work for some parts but not others), but I think I have a clear enough picture now to actually make use of the tags!

And I hadn't even thought of joining any groups, so I will take you up on the suggestion! :twilightsmile:

This is a great story! :rainbowkiss:
There are some minor mistakes, but that can be fixed easily if you proofread. :twilightblush:
Sorry, I am a perfectionist. :twilightsheepish:
Still, awesome story. I would love to see more. :twilightsmile:

4237924 Thanks so much! :twilightsmile:

I am currently in the process of going back over the chapters in an attempt to catch the little things that I overlooked, so hopefully I catch them all! I cringe every time I find another one haha... :facehoof:

because of the terror that was Discord and Luna...I would allow myself to enjoy the feeling as acting of the Princess of Equestria...even if that meant doing so alone.

DAT TRAGIC FORESHADOWING :fluttercry:

But seriously, awesome job this chapter. I like how you're keeping a steady pace between big events while building up enough to those events that it never becomes too boring. I kinda wish you could explore the character of Sombra a bit more--even if he's hardcore introverted, I still want to get to know the guy who the show never showed us :derpytongue2:

Really though, that's not as much a complaint as wishful speculating. I look forward to the next chapter! :yay:

But Canterlot was founded shortly after Nightmare Moon was banished.
