Woo updates!
Moar please
more I need more cute twiluna and more answers.
Very interesting.
If this plot thickens any further, it shall be a coagulated paste. An absurdly glorious coagulated paste, but a coagulated paste all the same
Shh listen, do you hear that. It's the sound of weeping angels crying out in joy. Do you know why ?, because Jest updated. Hallelujah!!!
Is that the real Spike? It seems strange to make a statue like that.
>Apple Turnover's mark
Okay, that got me.
There's something really fishy going on here, the timelines feel, unsettled.
LLibrarian? BBridge? Why the double letters?
Spike!!! D:
d'aww
D'AWWWWWW <3
Comeuppance.
Oooh full descriptions of the five former incarnations of her friends.
*raises eyebrow*
Aaaahh, it's over already? So much content yet I desire more!!
At first I thought Rarity was dramatically extending that L, but I guess these are typos?

it's close, but causing suffering isn't my fetish. I tried doing that in one game to someone that deserved it but I just felt bad afterward
unless you consider my hateboner for manipulative versions of Celestia a fetish
Absolutely amazing
Ok who fucked up the timeline? DISSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Google docs was fucking up when I was editing. Fixed.
Right, so, my current guesswork at what I think may have gone down;
First, the standard tale, Nightmare Moon, thousand years, Luna's return and the Mane Six. Nightmare Moon is where Celestia eradicated history of soul magics.
Years later, post-Luna's return, Twilight and Luna grow close, Discord is killed and Twilight is 'infect' for lack of a better term, with 'necromancy' or soul magic. My theory is that Tie already did the whole 'erase all but the essentials' thing. Also, Tia already seemed to blame Luna for Twilight's base injuries, nevermind the soul magic.
Anyhow, the truth comes out, and Twilight dies/physically passes, but her soul reincarnates later, as do the Mane Six, leading us too the birth of the current Twilight, and the reincarnations of the species. That being said, the passing of the 'first' Twilight led to Celestia and Luna's confrontation and the current state of affairs.
I feel it explains things the best, such as the two Ponyvilles, Trixie and Sunset too.
Anyhow, regardless, eye are gonna be close on this one. It's drawn me in quite nicely, and I can't wait to see more. I really wish there was a game that allowed you to play a lich really well. The Shadow of Mordor series doesn't count either.

Ditto, though there is one coming out called "Iratus: Lord of the Dead" on steam that looks like it might scratch that itch whenever its released.
For every answer she got ten more questions...
Ah yes, the Muguffen.

"In fiction, a MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is an object, device, or event necessary to motivate a plot but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself. "
Yeah, that's not what this is.
It's not even a true plot motivator, as they were already down there looking for answers anyway. Its also intrinsically tied to the backstory of not only Twilight but Luna as well and was created due to the fluctuations in the past timeline's plot. Meaning it is neither insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant.
Not every object in a story is a MacGuffin.
This story is absolutely entrancing in how you manage to weave past and present together without making it seem like an unnatural leap or hard shift. Believable characterization, some genuine empathy for the characters and enough mystery lurking around every corner to keep reading. Can't wait for the next update!

Same here. Although it could also be time jumps through her past? The problem I have with that theory is Twilight starting out as a unicorn, ascending, getting romantic with Luna (one or two generations after the original Mane 6), then disappearing/dying and coming back as a lich(?) when her mom should've been dead of old age by then. Alternate/altered timelines would have an answer for all of the inconsistencies a single timeline could struggle with. And we know there's a few time-jumping spells out there-- looking at you Glimglam.
Absolutely love this story keep it up!

I saw this video and thought of you and people who misunderstand the term mcguffin, I'd advise you watch it.
Tldr, a macguffin is something that drives the central plot but is more or less irrelevent and can be switched out with another object without causing an issue with the plot. Something Luna's gift cannot do. If it was replaced with say, a super powerful artifact it wouldnt make sense for it to be there, it wouldnt fit the place, and wouldnt even drive the plot in any way shape or form as Luna's gift doesnt drive the plot already.

You will be glad to know that I fully intend on completing both stories and neither are going to die.
Ah, don't you love thousand year old mysteries. I want to see them revive Luna and Then Discord, cause the balance has been upset
Lune... Lunny...Lunacy..?
So close yet so far
Well, aside from the mcguffin necklace and stupid sexy alicorns, I feel like if I were a smarter man that the mystery would be already solved...
