Sunset Shimmer's time in Equestria has come and gone. Though the magic of friendship now flows within her, there is something else she feels she is missing.

Rather, somepony.

Alone in the dead of night, Sunset reflects on the journey that has brought her to the present, and wonders whether it was worth it, to trade her Princess and her guiding light for the light of the friends she has found in its absence.

This was a very heart felt story I liked it a lot

I really wonder if anypony except Sunset saw that vision in the mirror. Ultimately, perhaps, all that it shows is your own desires. It exposed Sunset's ambition just as thoroughly as the Element of Magic exposed the darkness in her heart. Her error is that she saw it as a portent of destiny, not a warning about her motives.

Really nice - I wonder about Celestia's answer to that letter.

I loved this. The wording might have been a bit too... I'm not sure what word to use... formal? I don't know. It's with sentences like:

But I pray that you can find it in your heart to forgive me, though I deserve it not.

Deserve it not isn't exactly a wrong way to phrase that, but there's something about putting that way that seems... stiff perhaps.

But in any case, this was still a good story. Thank you for writing this, and I too wonder about Celestia's answer to that letter.

The truth is, that's just how the words came out. I'll give you that it's altogether far too stiff for Sunset, but if you want, you can think of it as her wanting to give Celestia a properly measured and formal letter befitting of a correspondence with royalty, who also happens to be your former teacher and former surrogate mother.

If I had given this a little more thought than I did, I could probably expand on why she would have worded her letter as formally as she did. When I have the time and the wherewithal to compose Celestia's response, I might go back and revise the wording in parts of Sunset's letter to bring it to a level that feels more natural to her.

Perhaps not right away, but I do plan at some point on revisiting this story and having Celestia give her response.

7922631 Thank you. I'm glad to here you'll eventually continue this.

I liked the more stiff and formal wording and tone. It reminds me greatly of Shakespeare's soliloquy in Hamlet (To Be Or Not To Be). The quality of this piece leaves me wondering why this has not received much attention. Great job!
