An excellent story, and one that I enjoyed reading. I wish we could see something that happens after starswirl kicks Twilight out. But at the same time this ending is done rather well, with his introspective last line.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
Quite a few fascinating ideas here, from the details of Starswirl's sanctum to the source of the thousand-year prophecy. Don't think I 've ever seen that take on it before. The ending is bittersweet, but more the latter than the former. In all, a lovely historical clip show. Thank you for it, and best of luck in the judging.

Thank you! And good luck with judging; you've certainly got a fair bit of work cut out for you.
Curiouser and curiouser, but in a good way
Oh, poor Celly, how you will regret that idea
I knew this would have to be one of them, and it still hurt
Maybe I'm biased but to me it seems like this is almost a really dark ending unless Starswirl has some way out, eventually. Otherwise, well, he's literally consigned himself to an eternity imprisoned alone. Eventually...yea.
Otherwise, I quite liked this.

Thanks for the comments!
Hm... it was definitely supposed to be a bit depressing but not outright dark. I might tone it done a bit with an edit, but for now I don't think it'd be fair to change anything until the contest is over. Appreciate the feedback, though!

That was my first reaction as well. But I'd hope that the pocketspace would only have drifted too far based on what Starswirl initially calculated when he first created the stone. Twelve millennia of research made it an easy matter for the alicorns to find the space again, and then to craft a new artifact that would both allow for visitation as well as allow Starswirl occasional glimpses and messaging with the outside world.

I reviewed this story as part of Read It Now Reviews #108.
My review can be found here.
And the reviews for Imposing Sovereigns: Usurpers is posted.
Obviously, the solution is for her to spend the next year blazing it.
I'm not crying you're crying

Ha! Wow, I actually laughed out loud. I have no earthly clue how I didn't see that (actually, I do, and it's called sleep deprivation), but that's just how the math worked out in my head. I kinda want to edit it away, but I also kinda don't. :P

no, u.
A great story, even if it ends on a bittersweet or even sad note. I wonder if Twilight ever managed to figure out a way to keep him company again or even get him back to Equestria somehow.
Edit:
I'm totally not asking for a sequel to get you writing again.
