Epilogue
The natural plane was finally abandoned, and the world was calm once more. Bright Eyes chuckled to herself. A lot had happened, and while much of it good, she was glad it was over. It was time to move on, into a new era. It'd bring its own challenges, with new villains rising and falling. And some day, the world would fall as well. Nothing lasted forever. But even if none were there to hear, the cry of the pained would never be meaningless.
She felt a presence behind her. She hadn't been expecting anyone, and for one with future sight, it was quite a feat. She turned to greet the presence, but words fell short when she turned to look. “You're here.”
“I am, and it's time to take you into the great beyond.”
Bright Eyes closed her eyes in bliss. “I finally get to see my family again, but as much as I long for them, I'm worried about this world. If it has nobody to guide them, will everything turn out alright?”
“They have themselves, and that is enough. Bright Eyes, you were created to be a mediator between two worlds that were meant to be one. Your purpose has been fulfilled, but take comfort. You did your duty well, and you'll always be remembered for that.”
“There's no place for a wall-eyed pegasus anymore, is there?”
The presence remained silent. Bright Eyes stood, lifting her chin as she strode forward. “I'm ready to go.”
“Then we'll be off. Tell me, though. As you served your time, what was the most important lesson you learned?”
“That's quite the question. Well, after seeing so many lives cross over, and each of them touching for only moments, I came to realize how many stories simply aren't told. And with it, how much potential is wasted.”
“And what comes from that?”
“The realization that we were made to sing. We are made to sing the praises of the great, and the mourning of the lost. But most importantly, we have to sing the songs within ourselves.”
“Then what is your song?”
Derpy grinned and looked up to Twilight's kind smile. “That I am unafraid.”

5470214 Where's the problem? I don't see a problem. 3am is your minimum, or else you are nots dedicated!
Hmm, I still have questions though..
So lemme get this straight: basically, Twilight ascends and makes a world where eventually.. Twilight ascends?
I am confused, please do clarify. It's annoying when stories leave things unanswered, but equally so when I can't see the answers myself.

Such is the way of stable paradox loops. It's a self-creation story. If you want the literal, stark answer, then yes, that's exactly what happened. Neither event happened "first", they both happened simultaneously. Twilight ascended because her future self built out the path for herself, and conversely, her future self could only ascend because her past self followed those steps.
If you want a slightly more interpretive answer, beyond being the Twilight we know and love, she's also representative both me and the reader; the only way we can progress is if we follow our future that's set up for us, which is simultaneously one of our choosing.

Ssoooo, what happened with Equestria after Twilight left to create a new world?
I mean, she can't just abandon her friends to make a new world and eventually a new Equestria.
What happens after this story? How does Equestria adjust now that the worlds are merged, there are doubles everywhere, and suddenly there are six new alicorn princesses? More importantly, how do they react knowing that Twilight is essentially the creator of everything? And even better, does Twilight have tea with the Twilight (Dawn) that created her world?
5470214 ...Eleven pm? And you're tired? Ookay... I'm usually up 'till closer to two or three am. Probably not as healthy. But that is the cost of chronic reading addiction.
I just finished this after it has been sittting on my read later list for too long. Nice story by the way. There was a few thing I hadn't seen coming like Twilight being the Creator. I love being suprised by stories.
I got a theory how this fits into the series. It has a few holes, but if we forget about them here we go:
In short this story is the trial Twilight had to go through to become an Alicorn, but because it is a show for kids, it has been censored and showing a scene with Celeatia singing instead. Then either are the worlds still seperated or there has never been a seperation, and Celestia is not a that bad ruler. Simple as that.
P.S. this has been a week with a bit too little sleep for me.
Im just going to state it now FUCK time travel, it does nothing but mess with your head, the logic is asinine
HOLD the FUCKING PHONE...............WTF HAPPENED TO TRIXIE!!! (dont get me wrong i cant stand her and the thought of her ascending nearly had me quit reading this) just wondering did she fail to ascend
Just got my hardcopy. Thank you so much! Super happy to be adding this to my library, so that one day I can indoctrinate my children and grandchildren with the awesomeness of pony pseudophilosophy.
A tip: on the front and back covers there's a white line bordering the top and the bottom. This is usually a symptom of the designer not filling in the bleed, which is an area that your design should "bleed" into to make sure that, when the covers are cut, there's padding on the top and bottom just in case if they cut too far away from the actual cut line.
Just a tip, in case future prints are issued!
Thanks again!
Great story! I'm considering getting the book.
Has the story been edited / cleaned up any in the book? I'm talking about grammar issues mostly and a few confusing sentences.
this has been sitting on my must read shelf since 2012 long time and i must say this put me for a loop in both feels and understanding ether way i wish some of the other great story's that were just awesome had not stopped mid way loved this one and its been added to my favorites list and a +1
you also get 5 spike stashes =
I read this forever ago and I still can't figure out what the deal twilight made with thael was...

This is probably the single heaviest (and probably even the best) Fanfiction I've ever read. Hell, if you gave me the book to read without prior knowledge of ponies I know I would not be able to be easily convinced that this is is 'just' a fanfiction. I'm not exactly qualified to say it, but I truly believe this is a literary masterpiece. Unlike many stories here this isn't a light and bubbly story. It is extremly dark, but not in the sense of gore and horror, but it is filled with trials and tribulations that force you to confront your own belief. The conflict between the light and dark, the 'Reality' and the 'Forgotten realms' and facing the mistakes of the past make this story come alive.
There is a joke that reading is just hallucinating while staring at a piece of dead wood, but while reading "Inner Glory", every now and then, while reading, I could see what the pages described as if it happened before me.
Honestly, I could probably keep praising this story for the next week, if could put it in words. Reading this was a journey that changed me, though much less that it did the characters. It really made me question some of my beliefs and made other more certain. I think that this is a story everyone needs to read at least once, because it makes you learn a lot about yourself and the world.
But I do wish I read it a few years ago, so I that could have bought the book, because this is truly a story worth living through.
