The King is dead, long live the Princess.

But He will return. He's already here. All she sees is Him when looking at what she is forced to help grow.



A short story about sad fates and self isolation. About depression and fear. About new hope, to shine your light.

Can't wait to read more!

This is such a great start for your story! I really hope to see more!

Thanks! More will come soon.

More is planned, although I must warn this is meant to be a very short story.

Short is certainly fine with me!

“I can tell he has your mane too,” I ad. Compare him to her; remind her she’s his mother.

I enjoyed this! Though, I would add a crystal pony tag too.

Strange how much sense things can make when you know the context. Going back to the previous chapter after reading this one feels like a completely different story.

Great story a little short but really nice.

Oh, thanks. I can never remember if that has one or two d's.

8808551

Glad to know I succeeded my intention with that.

Yeah, I worried if the buildup of the first chapter was too much for such a short story, bit it's how long it was always meant to be.

I think it was for the best to change the original ending, since it would be way too OOC for Cadence.
Great job on the story by the way. :pinkiehappy: Have a heart. :heart:

Yeah, although I liked the subject of leaving it open to discuss the right and wrong in "fixing" ponies through magic, especially with somepony shown able to force ponies to fall in love to make them stop fighting, a matured Cadence might not done so now. Least of all after the whole idea of her husband being under the control and magic manipulation of a changeling Queen.

Thanks!

You're Welcome. :twilightsmile:

Though I thought young Cadence would just remind couples why they love each other with her spell, but to each his own I guess.

In the show they specifically said she made ponies fall in love with her magic, but yes each their own how to read into it. Was never brought up again in-show either way.

I'm laughing, but it's the laugh I use when I'm hearing something intensely ominous and trying to keep myself from dreading it. Very good job on setting up a nice unsettling start.

Ah, I guess I missed the original ending, still good though. I mean most of it was very depressing, I cried more than a little on parts of it, but in a good way since it's a depressing subject matter. Very nice overall, I'm somewhat curious what the original ending was, but I think I probably prefer this one.

Sometimes you just gotta write sad stuff. Since I've had the story in my head for years and only now wrote it down, parts of it, like the ending, has shifted a bit until finished up as this final product.

Either way I'm glad people like it.

I love the note of hope the story ends on. It is going to be a difficult journey, but we just know mother and colt are going to make it now that they are not alone.

I like to leave open endings for people to build their own ideas on. Either way it truly ends happy or not, the journey has begun and they will indeed not be left to do it alone now.
