Crap Celestia is so far off the deep end it isn’t funny. Still I wonder what is controlling Celestia because this is really feeling like she is being controlled by something else.
she shrugs once a week? how does the narrator/cadence know that and that it's the specific time of week for that shrug? all joking aside though solid chapter and

It was made crystal clear when Sunset was sent off originally if ye recall that she's absolutely possessed, probably by a nightmare of her own

Not by a Nigjtmare but by something else.
I'm wondering if Celestia tried to save her sister by absorbing the... Thing... That in our timeline became the Nightmare. But that this backfired because Daybreaker immediately killed her sister any ways.
My other mad guess is that Discord is somehow involved. Or the inverse. Discord in this timeline behaved very differently. Not just an elder Dragon but seemingly the primordial incarnation of chaos twisted to cruelty and malice. I'm wondering if a similar mantle of power might exist for *Order*, and that Celestia must have somehow ended up with it embedded in her.
But how do the reincarnations enter into it? I can only think of some twisted attempt to break the cycle. But why?
Well, I am deeply and utterly disturbed by what happened to Cadence here.
Good job, good sir!

Well Celestia's delusions are forcing her to push forwards until everything is in perfect order. I suspect the reincarnations have something to do with that, the constant rebirth of the same people without memory of the past, giving celestia a chance to 'perfect' them again. if it doesn't work, kill them and try again. If it works, great, just bring em back in the future with their memory this time.
As for discord, I reckon what's going on is that he is going to be more of a primordial force here, as he's the antithesis of what celestia represents. He's also weak right now, probably in part due to losing fluttershy in the past. We've seen what 'tia's capable of, and that she is not against using people to get her way. I bet she did something to him that crippled his power. Celestia is ruling as a lawful evil, there isn't much chaos so he hasn't had a chance to recover. however, i believe he's going to show up sooner than we expect. There's a massive fight about to happen right on the doorstep of one of the few chaotic places left from the sounds of things.

Yeah, that's not how it works, and as for discord, he's that weird as hell of a chimera that made troubles to twilight and sunset
nice origin story there, celestia is a posses'd bitch
Kinda reminds me of those hard core lunatic Christians who believe they see the devil every where and are the only ones can see and cleanse people, despite sounding mad as they speak.

Place to much faith in any belief and you will have a lunatic born. Sadly, this truth even extends to what we believe to be pure ideas, such as free will. Taken to far, protecting a persons right to make their own choices results in punishing only those whom seek to limit, even in self defense. It's a sad truth, but one that must be understood to avoid the worst outcomes. All things in moderation, lest good and evil become twisted caricatures of themselves.
The entirety of this story seems to focus on this element. I must admit, it's one of many aspects that draws me back to read on. Another is the depth and mystery that is presented. To say Celestias crippling obsession is order may be jumping the gun a bit, though it's certainly not far off. The details to nail down exactly what the author is thinking with her are not yet present, leaving a delicious opening for overthinkers to debate the core of it. Is she possessed? Perhaps she's simply mad. She isn't reincarnating, so she doesn't get a time to rest and restart. Millenia will do that to anyone. Without taking time off to handle her own mind, she couldn't possibly remain sane. I think control is her obsession, and as such, order wouldn't be difficult to confuse with it, especially if that control is, in her mind, for the benefit of her charges, the entire world population in this case.
Whatever the case, tis a good story so far and I do enjoy each chapter. Wish I'd come across it sooner.
Really liking this, even if there are details that bothers me. Keep going!

The possession is almost blatantly obvious this far into the story. The burning question is what and when. It's an easy bet the "what" is the Nightmare. The "when" is a lot trickier. If we assume everything was canon through most of the first few seasons of MLP:FiM, then it must be many centuries since Twilight ascended... enough that Harmony has been trying to replicate its first winning 6-mare combo that defeated the Nightmare before, reincarnating the mares.
Bonus conspiracy points! While Twilight was leveling up in the Alicorn Zone, Celestia came back with a Nightmare parasite that led to current events.
Yooo i absolutely love this story please keep up the great work idk where this story is headed but im glad i stuck around through the earlier chapters

I'm glad you did as well, and don't worry about this story going anywhere. I'll be updating so long as someone is reading.
soooooo. chrisy needs to die to reabsorb the other part of her soul?

Why would you say that?
This is one of my favorites on this site and always look forward to more.
Damn I Cadence what through some shit but Damn! That's rough.
This is the Medic from TF2, isn't it? I've never even played the game, and that's the image that's flashing in my mind right now.
A famous... assassin? Would this assassin by any chance be a certain black dragon assassin? And why is it that he keeps coming up throughout the millennia?
Okay, this has to be one of the most extreme cases of being cute in the most disturbing way I've ever encountered. Although, so is Sweetie Belle as part spider being shipped with Spike. I suppose this story does excel at making the disturbing also be wholesome.
