I like Fluttershy. I like the advancement of technology. That is all. I am always open to comments or feedback. Just shoot me an email. I can almost guarantee a response.

After Shining Armor falls in battle, Luna helps Cadence cope with her grief. With his death, Cadence can no longer escape the harsh reality of her immortality and must come to terms with it.

Twilight, also struck by the truth of her situation, seeks out Celestia, who offers her an answer as harsh as the truth she must face.

Despite the sad tag, I can promise that there are heartwarming moments.

That was one of the best fan fics I ever read! Please continue it! :rainbowkiss:

An interesting take on immortality. It seems to settle out in four ways.

1. Reject all life and try to destroy it. The ones mentioned in the story
2. Push all others away and place value only in material things. Dragons
3. See mortals as playthings or servants, there only to serve your pleasures.
Discord and Sombra.
4. See others as having an almost infinite potential in infinite combinations and do
your best to nurture them and allow them to grow. Celestia, Luna and
now Cadence.

I think that this story is most certainly worth another chapter and maybe more.

Wonderful, amazing, delightful, and beautiful, this story is so good and the grammar is really good too.This was amazingly written. Good description, You got an amazing story on your hands :pinkiehappy:

A very heartfelt piece :fluttershysad:. I'm curious about the Twilight/Celestia take on this.

I thought you could have made it a bit longer and I REALLY REALLY want to know why Celestia just left her there.
I also think a follow up chapter would be neat to see what Cadence does with herself.

Was a good short read!

A little too rushed (as in "short", not as in "many errors"), I think, but it shows promise. The idea is good, as is the writing. Let's see where this goes…

As ordered, Part Two is in the final stages of editing. I believe I will have it up within twenty four hours (ish).

The first chapter was good, this chapter seemed to forget its point.
Also Twilight at the end has me really confused.
Does she have some discord in her?

An interesting and, in my opinion, realistic take on Celestia (and immortals in general after enough time). I guess Twilight couldn't accept her view of Celestia was completely wrong.

While a third part would be interesting, I think this scene could be a good end point (at least for including Twilight and Celestia).

I found this part wildly confusing as well :rainbowderp:

Also, I feel emotion was handled better in part 1. But you got me interested in what happens between Tia and Twi now. :twilightoops:

I completely understand. I'll try to give you some insight as to why I wrote it the way I did.

spoilers:
What really happened here was very simple. Twilight was in much the same state as Cadence in the previous chapter, needing a reason to not give in to her sadness. However, Celestia gave her something quite the opposite, instead accelerating her descent into the state of a Nightmare. And ultimately, the goal was never to create an emotional moment (in this chapter), because the very lack of one is the source of the final outcome.

That makes sense. But why on earth in Equestria would Celestia do that? Even if it's just a test (JUST A TEST?! :twilightangry2:), that seems kind of harsh of her.

Well, I don't want to pressure you into more spoilers, though :twilightsmile: – I hope this will just get explained later in the story.
