Georg's See You... Out There (Wanderer D's "Random story ideas #1")

Author's Note:

[Sci-Fi][Positivity]

This is a response to Wanderer D's blog "Random story ideas #1" (433 words excluding Discord screengrab, 4 images, no tags, TRIGGER WARNING: The Swamps of Sorrow.)

BLOG SUMMARY: Sunset tries to return to Equestria... but the show's over, and with it that world. And as Sunset learns of her own fictionality, she also learns that the end of the Equestria Girls subfranchise looms...
Or, more positively, she uses the knowledge as a springboard to explore other realms...

"Why, whatever do you mean, Sunset Shimmer?" Principal Celestia stepped up beside her and looked out into the void that the artifact had created instead of the expected portal to Equestria. "You must remember, although I am not your Princess Celestia, I'm still older than you, and know a basic rule to the world that all children must learn before they progress. If you do not find what you seek, you must expand your vision."

One long-fingered hand brushed against the hairs on the back of Sunset's clenched fist, and with the gentlest of touches, Celestia moved the artifact in a larger spiral, and then larger still as the void in front of them opened to reveal...

Not one silver thread stretching into the ebon abyss, but thousands upon thousands of them, looping and spiraling, each filled with the brilliant glow of an alternative world, and each still expanding out into the distance. They branched and joined, twisting in ways that mere human eyes could not comprehend, and blurred in her vision as the tears welled up.

"You see, my young student," said Celestia. "Your world was merely the beginning of a thread, not an end."
