Aftermath of a Fallen Star

Like A Fallen Star (Fluttershy)

Author's Note:

You may be wondering why this one is so short compared to the others. Well, that's because this is a poem chapter. To be honest, I've had a hard time making Fluttershy's chapter. I originally was going to use her to further the Regal suicide incident in Cheerliee's chapter, but each try I did I just couldn't feel satisfied with it. Besides, I think I covered everything in Cheerliee's chapter.

So I tried to think of something else that was good. I thought maybe doing the talk Fluttershy had with Twilight in private during Discord's chapter, but I felt like the mystery behind that sort of would be ruined by it. Then I thought maybe doing something of her like a song or such for an anniversary of her death, but nothing clicked well and I kept spilling more spoilers for the next story, Ragnarock, then I wanted to. However, the lyrics I wrote soon sounded more like a poem and soon I decided maybe that was all it needed to be. A creative poem by Fluttershy.

I know I'm taking a risk with such an idea, but I feel the most content with this idea. Plus, we can use something a bit more relaxing before the big final chapters of Luna and Spike.

The poem itself was inspired by some songs and poems I know. I hope you like it.

Enjoy

Like A Fallen Star (Fluttershy POV)

***

Hello there readers of New Yaker. As you know, today is the Anniversary of Princess Twilight’s unfortunate death. Last month, we announced for those who remember that tragic day to send us your written creative works to honor her memory while we choose the best ones to publish on this month’s magazine special.

To our surprise, we have a submission from the Element of Kindness herself, and one of Princess Twilight’s closest friends, Fluttershy. We thank her for her submission and hope you will enjoy it, as well as the other various works done by those who submitted, in our dedication to the Princess of Friendship, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Like A Fallen Star
By Fluttershy

Remember when we used to fly?
Remember when we soared so high?
Do you? Do you?
I wish we just had more time

Just like a whisper you were gone
A life so short just like the dawn
Please? Please?
Rise upon the dark once more

Is it true? Is it true?
There is no more of you to behold?
I’m blue. I’m blue.
The tears in my eyes unfold.

Even though you are leaving
Will you promise me one thing?
If I reach my hoof out, and you’re around
Please hold it and don’t let go

Will you comfort with kindness?
When I’m feeling sadness?
When I look at the night, to see your light
Please shine for my heart

A Fallen Star
You’re a Fallen Star
Despite the tears and blight, our hearts unite
For our Fallen Star
A Fallen Star
You’re a Fallen Star
Despite the tears and blight, our hearts unite
For our Fallen Star

You were just like a Fallen Star
Spreading wishes both near and far
For every fear that we held dear
You were there to wipe the darkness clear

In your light we learned to sing
It didn’t matter what the world would bring
And even though you are lost and gone
We still believe in your magic song

Like a simple breeze that passes by
Like the light drifting dust upon our eyes
Where you’re going now, we cannot follow
And so together we must fight the sorrow

Is it true? Is it true?
There is no more of you to behold?
I’m blue. I’m blue.
The tears in my eyes unfold.

Even though you are leaving
Will you promise me one thing?
If I reach my hoof out, and you’re around
Please hold it and don’t let go
Will you comfort with kindness?
When I’m feeling sadness?
When I look at the night, to see your light
Please shine for my heart

A Fallen Star
You’re a Fallen Star
Despite the tears and blight, our hearts unite
For our Fallen Star
A Fallen Star
You’re a Fallen Star
Despite the tears and blight, our hearts unite
For our Fallen Star

I'm afraid it won't happen in this story. However, Twilight was resurrected in the 3rd story: Equestrian Civil War: An Alternate Universe.

[Christopher Jones]

Very moving I went to my mum funeral today and it was really hard

[Derpytakesovertheworld]

This s**t's deep like the ocean, man. Have my eternal thumbs m8.

[WhitewolfStormrunner]

7475391 Say what now? I thought Rated said that anyone who died/dies in this series is perma-dead.

As in, NEVER coming back, being resurrected, whatever.

[dragstormer]
