Princess Celestia regrettably banishes Princess Luna to the moon for a thousand years. The princess of the sun laments over her sister's children, allows them to share in Luna's punishment, and curses her two closest followers.
Over the course of a thousand years, the ancient race of bat-ponies flourish in the secluded woods of Hollow Shades, developing their own culture and traditions.
Luna's banishment comes to an end. She goes to visit the bat-ponies in their forest, and discovers something amazing.

Uh, yeah?
I wrote the original iteration of A Feeling Of on /mlp/'s bat-thread. First chapter was released July 15th, 2013, and I started rewriting it here earlier this month.
But does it go along with A Feeling of? If it does then would that not mean that she takes care of kids and has one?
Either way its cool. Good story is good!

It isn't related to AFO in any way. It was written as a celebration thing for the /mlp/ bat pony thread's 100th thread.
Speck actually can't have kids. She's barren. Sirocca shows up later on in AFO.

My feels......
All of my feels....
Can hardly wait to read about it....
Pardon me, but could you please explain why Speck can live for over 300 years?

I hope you're joking. This story has nothing to do with AFO, it just has Speck and Sirocca in a bit part.
I am a comedian.
Why does this not have more views? IT NEEDS MORE VIEWS!
That, my dear Celestia, is some grade A, first class, pile of steaming bullshit
I love this story. The feels were where they would be most effective. I cried several times while reading it. The whole story had an overall feeling of melancholy. A happy reunion, tinged with a sadness in the background. I especially enjoyed the festival, which was so relaxing in its tone. It was like a mini adventure for luna. The entire story was so enjoyable.
I would love to see this and other stories of batponies, put into an anthology !!!!!!
