YEY!!!!!
Big Yes
Oh my! What a handsome drake!
okay, between the flashbacks and trips through memory lane, I got confused. My recollection of what I just read was that Sunset_shimmer showed up, handed twilight her flank, thought she killed twilight and left? then twilight somehow magic'd herself back alive and at the end spike showed up due to dragons living a long time or some other reason.

She didn't magic herself alive again, its a flashback to the very first chapter of this story. Earlier RD mentioned that the nightmare made people relive their 'worst nightmares' over and over. Which was what happened to everyone, including Twilight, who was able to break out of it due to help of her past self. Spike was also frozen in stone, so it didn't have anything to do with him living long as he was preserved.

so just so I'm clear, sunset_shimmer is not there with them and some memory thing is going on that's allowing that mysterious voice that's guiding twilight to look at things from different perspective to show her that sunset didn't really have a choice in the matter.
Order bad, chaos good?
The shape of the world is made clear now, as is the abomination Order that has been pulling the strings, both metaphorical and literal.
Le Gasp!

That was a nightmare created by the nightmare, yes and everything else you said was correct.
Balance is good. An excess of either of those 2, is not.
9811002
I’d suggest a reread.
Oh Spike... that poor drake is going to be so very very confused.
9811293
would spike even care, twilight technically kept her promise. it also did make sense when I knew about the nightmare however it just led to me wondering what type of alternate species princess luna is going to take. Succubus are the only ones I knew of that can manipulate dreams however that seems too obvious.

Is it just me or did Twilight leave Fluttershy somewhere in the tower?
EDIT: Assuming she is with Angel Bunny again.
9811708
No, she cant be harmed as a spirit and told Twilight they would meet back up in town sometime later.
9811843
Ah sorry I missed the town part.
Fluttershy sure could spirit out of the place, I guess, but can Angel...?
Thank you for the update, reply and great read
9811002
Order bad, chaos bad. Harmony good
9812042
The next chapter is a sort of interlude that ties up some loose ends, look forward to that one if your wondering what happened and whatnot.
9812042
He's angel bunny, he's gonna find a way out somehow..
Why do I get the feeling shit's about to hit the fan?
"hello spike, first off i am twilight sprakle but i not your mother, i am her reincataited self, as well have some of her knollegewe. also it been almsto 1000 years."
spike: "wait what??? that sound like a bad story"
To be honest I was kinda scared of reading this book. It gave off feeling that Twilight would suffer a lot.
I was wrong. This book is gorgeous. The mystery, the secrets, the signs, the characters... Is amazing.
But you are really sadistic person. I never despised Celestia more then in this book. Never yet.
9813951
Oh she has suffered, and will suffer more. But, I also believe she has experienced great joy, and will continue to learn, grow, and get the help she so needs.
I know that twilight is a necromancer now but how long will her body stay to look mostly like a normal pony and start to become a skeleton or I guess the term lich would be more appropriate?
9814555
Thats a spoiler I'm afraid but suffice it to say she doesnt operate under 'normal' undead rules.
I like this book ten times any other book of yours. Mainly because of the mystery behind her own previous self.
9812175
Harmony is balance.
Crap, the best part...
9824881
Alphanumeric!
Ahem...
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Just caught up from just before Halloween, and dang so much has happened! Excited to see where this continues going!

The life draining smacks of vampirism but I do hope she eventually figures out how to stop eating her friend's life force. Makes me wonder if the draining is to merely maintain the furry/fleshy appearance and once she (literally) sheds her shell, the source of that hunger will also abate. Either that or the creation of a phylactery, tapping into magic itself in line with her cutiemark, will provide all the "sustenance" her body demands. The latter sounds far more likely to me.
Spike!
Awesome. I love this variant of the nightmare too.
9814873
Harmony is Harmony. Balance is Balance. They are not the same thing.
Yay Spike is free!
9920875
Yep, Balance is a situation when elements are in correct proportions.
Harmony is generally a musical definition but this is what it means:
Chaos and Order are direct opposites of each other, whereas Harmony and Chaos are not. To have harmony, one must also have a correct measure of chaos as it is a component. I think Shaegorath in The Elder Scroll's IV: Oblivion's DLC was a really good depiction of too much order and too much chaos.
True, total order is bad generally as it means change is impossible, things never get better or get worse, this is where the saying "No risk no reward." rings really loudly because, in order to have good times, we have to have a contrast of bad times too.
This corrupted Celestia is building a world of structure and order that she sits atop of as the invisible tyrant, the Celestia we know from the show wanted Harmony and peace.
The how was pretty simple, she just walked right in the front door. Also...
I forgot to mention this back in that chapter, but in this moment, Sunset really reminds me of Alucard from Hellsing. So much so that I heard his voice saying the lines, instead of Sunset, and I can’t help wondering if that was your intent/inspiration. And of course I’d bring it up again in the chapter that raises so many questions about her behavior.
One more thing I forgot to mention earlier, is this Beaker based on/inspired by the muppet? Because he was usually more the victim of the other scientist’s weirdness/incompetence.
He alive
