A prodigal child is born once more with a strange condition that makes her uniquely gifted in a lost magical art. Unfortunately for the child, that art is soul magic and Celestia does not tolerate the manipulation of a soul under any circumstances.

Nice chapter. So the Ponyville a thousand years ago was just a normal town until the death of Luna? An interesting revelation on what might have cause such changes this unprecedented scale.

The death of luna combined with the encroaching forest changed alot.
Ooooh, liked this chapter. And Spike makes got a great new cast member!
A lot of stuff to comment on, but I'll defer to my user name on this one. :P
Just wanted you to know it was read and enjoyed!
I'm calling it now, Either the third alicorn is an unknown entity, Or twilight carries the soul of said alicorn and it keeps reincarnating into similar yet different bodies
ok, I don't think spike understands what twilight is, in a way that corpse was nothing more then dandriff or a snake-skin that has been shed, that is if the snake gets amnesia(that goes away) afterward.
he is basically telling her to rest in peace and hope she is there in spirit when she is literally sitting right next to him in the flesh.
9971601
I have never spelled out, or compeltely explained her powers, or her reincarnations in the story so as far as far as Spike knows, there is a doppleganger of his mom there, but she is not the same exact pony. Plus I've hinted at, but never fully came out with saying it before, but Twilight is not always reborn as exactly the same pony, and this reincarnation is different.
9971396
Or it's Cadance.
Twilight's soul can't be anywhere but her new body, Spike. Or do you not know what does "Reincarnation" means?
Of course they would slip past each other without noticing. That is a cliche after all.
9971760
It may seem obvious to you, but in world, its never been fully explained. And this new pony may have some of old Twilight's memories, but shes clearly a different pony so it makes sense for Spike. PLus you cant just will away grief by telling yourself "Well logicaly speaking, this pony is basicly the old one so I'm just going to stop being sad now."
any chance sunset_shimmer can get a mulligan, she's not willing working for celestia and she doesn't seem completely evil.
Also based on Spike and Rarity's meeting this is either they're first encounter or Rarity didn't exist in the past. this might just be my avid rarispike shipping acting up.
I also need to see if this scootaloo is a thestral and can she fly.
9972241
Only time will tell
9971772
Sunset is literally trying to avoid other people.
9971622
she may be a different pony, but the idea of reincarnation is that you are a spirit reborn into flesh once more. all I'm saying is there is not a spirit to be at rest.
but if you say its different then that then that's that
9972344
All I'm saying is that within the context of the story, it is unclear if its true reincarnation in the way that you're imagining it. For all you know, in this universe reincarnation doesn't mean what it does here. We need to look for in universe explanations for things, rather then assuming.
Small possible nitpick here:
Since Twilight is technically dead, would her body still be warm?
9972441
It would, because though she knows it or not shes burning energy to make it seem like she isnt. The mental blocks that come with dying and being reanimated by one's own soul are not easily brushed aside.
9972489
I had a similar thought while I was writing the question but didn't want to put words in your mouth. Thanks for the confirmation.
9971686
Or It's cadance
Who I somehow keep forgetting the existence of sometimes
I keep reading the parts that involve Sunset and I keep hoping that she'll be free from whatever mind control it is and help fight Celestia. Her death(if it happens) before that just doesn't sit well with me. Not the bring you back from the dead kind of death. Just a no coming back from the dead kind
Finally got a chance to catch up on the last few chapters and couldn't put it down once I'd started.
I really feel for Spike. Hopefully he can make a place of his own in this new time.
I really hope Sunset is able to be there for Celestia's fall, somehow. No one deserves the torture she's been subjected to.
Lastly, Twilight will eventually find that properly applied necromancy is incredibly potent. It gets labelled as death magic, but it's truly magic of life force and can usually produce some of the best healing magics and strong enhancement magic just as readily as contagions and harm. She's simply only familiar with light-based healing magics at the moment.
Should be we're, we're is a contraction of "we are".
(Explanation because people have said I'm wrong in th past)
They forgot to ask for directions to the ice cream shop when they met Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, and then Twilight immediately repeated her suggestion to go get ice cream, as if she had forgotten what they had discussed moments before.
Typo, or memory lapse?
9984626
memory lapse. She forgot and they just wandered around until they found it. I should have made that more obvious. I will fix this when I have a spare moment.
A proper burial and the woods that do not forget her... how beautiful in a sad way. What a well written chapter with excitement literally around the corner! It’s nice to see Spike and Twilight get along well... and not only that but Spike coming in as a massive help! Really sped up Twilight’s learning and wellness! But what’s next... will Twilight learn fast enough? Will Sunset make endless excuses? Will Pinkie throw the best party ever? Well, we’ll see in the next chapter. Onwards!
The burial scene was nice, I also like the idea for casting the necromance spells.
Little late to the party, but wanted to throw my theories out there.
My wild guesses are its Cadence, Chrysalis (which is a shot in the dark), or possibly became the dragon lord, or their magic was sacrificed to fight them. From what was hinted at, the 3rd alicorn was critical in the dragons becoming part pony or sealed.
10014189
Nah, the third sibling who made dragons part pony is totally Discord. Dragon-pony is literally his species name. Either he's a natural hybrid, or (much more likely in this story) he took a bunch of dragon magic into himself to do it and that changed his body accordingly. Discord appears to have snapped in this timeline as well, so of course the Princesses wouldn't refer to him by name here. Them being related to Discord could do some serious damage to their reputations as Paragons of Harmony if the public found out.
I really hope they can undo the extremely evil magic binding Sunset.
Every time, EVERY single time I read this, I can only hear John Wayne in The Cowboys, saying ‘We’re burning daylight.’

I like how the Everfree also has respect for the dead. Maybe that's why the forest is helping Twilight so much (you know, 'cause she's dead).
i mean....we all know sunset is screwed. the real question is what comes afterwards.
