Twilight and Spike discuss about something that happened between them a long time ago. Something that Twilight isn't proud of. Then Twilight tells Spike a story about a Minotaur and a sculptor.
While Starlight and Celestia don't appear directly in the chapter they are directly referenced, hence the tags. The second half of the story is mainly Twilight narrating a story to Spike regarding two original characters, hence the tag there. Otherwise the story is just Spike and Twilight talking.
This was written as a very last minute and very hopefully not too edgy submission for the wonderful and illustrious Kin-a-Vulf's it's Cynewulf I'm just being silly and posting the pronunciation and I really hope that they aren't mad at me for making the joke Worldbuilding Fic CONTEST.
Also, as of January 10th I've taken the time to do a fully revision of the story, it's in a much better state than when it was initially posted. It's not perfect, but it's certainly passable, if you read it I hope you enjoy, but feel free to let me know if you don't either in the comments or via direct message. Feed back is always appreciated!
If the main OCs in this story were voiced, what would they sound like?

The Minotaur and Auriella?
I would say that his would probably be low, but not particularly deep, thoughtful but also too the point. He wouldn't be one to mince words but someone who would still take his time with saying them if only to make sure that they came out right the first time. That's not to say that he would be a particular careful speaker, but a considered one.
As for her, I guess the operative word would be airy. Not particularly high, but she would have a certain breathless excitement about her in both her pronunciation and her diction, and she would flit from word to word in a way that's indicative of someone trying more to say how they feel about something than someone who is particular concerned about telling you exactly what they think about it. Not mercurial, but certianly half-measured at times.
Any particular reason you ask?
Oh my god, that was morbid. D: I do like how you set up the background, of how goats are remembered, and then gave us a story where the goat is the only one named.
Something that Twilight what?

Yea, beleive it or not the original version was even worse than this, and as things stand I'm considering rewriting it again and expanding it and in that case I might add back in those particularly depressing bits that I pulled out for the sake of flow in regards to the word limit that was tripping me up.
As for the "Something that Twilight" bit. I frankly have no idea since I can't seem to find that bit with ctrl+f. Can you be more specific where that discrepancy was? If not it's fine, I'll try to keep an eye out for it whenever I do go to retouch this. That said while looking I did notice a bit of broken syntax that I was able to fix, so thanks!

Okay, this was delightfully morbid.

I narrate the characters voices in my head when I read. It helps with reader immersion. By the way, what exactly was wrong with Starlight?

To be perfectly frank, I don't remember. I think I had a distinct idea when I wrote this originally, but since it wasn't core to the story itself and was more just an establishing device to fade into the main narrative it more or less faded from my memory too. If you had asked me two years ago, I might have had an answer for you, but now your answer would be as good as mine.
