As Luna stared out the window of Twilight's castle, her son Rainius came up to her. "Hey," He greeted her.
"Hey," She replied.
"You gonna be alright?" He asked her, concerned.
"Heavy is the crown we wear, son," She said. "Loss is not something new for me. Though the loss of my dear sister is probably the most hardest loss I'll ever go through." They both turn and look at Galaxy as they were saying goodbye to all the creatures that had assisted them in the battle with the bat syndicate.
Sunburst comes up to them. "She's gonna be around for a long time, isn't she?" He asked Rainius, looking at Galaxy.
"A very long time," Rainius replied. "I’m glad she has you."
Sunburst smiles. "Should I start calling you dad?" He asked.
Rainius shook his head. "No," He answered.
Sunburst laughs, then Galaxy runs into Rainius’s arms and Starlight joins them.
"Hey," Starlight says. Starlight then takes Galaxy’s hoof and puts it on her cheek to listen to Galaxy’s thoughts. "Yeah, we’re all gonna be together now." As Galaxy hugs Starlight, Rainius has a vision of Galaxy grown up. She’s with Sunburst and they are happy together and him and Starlight were in the vision as they join Galaxy and Sunburst. Rainius smiles as he sees Galaxy grown up and happy. That's all he could want for his daughter. Was to see her happy. He smiled at Starlight.
Later that day, Rainius and Starlight were in the meadow. "I wanna show you something," Starlight says.
"What is it?" He asked. Starlight uses her magic and shows Rainius her thoughts and memories of their time together from the first time they met to everything that’s happened to up to now. "How did you do that?"
"I’ve been practicing," She replied. "Now you know, no creature’s ever loved anyone as much as I love you."
"There’s one exception," Rainius says. Starlight nods understanding that he feels the same for her and they kiss. "Can you show me again?"
Starlight smiles and chuckles. "We got a lot of time," She answered.
"Forever," Rainius replied.
"That sounds exactly right to me," Starlight said. "... Forever."
Rainius and Starlight kiss once again. "And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever," Rainius narrated as he closed the book. Then he looked down at his daughters. Galaxy was now seven years old and full-grown. Next to her was her little sister, Athena who was now two years old and also a bat Alicorn. Athena was the name of Rainius's grandmother who was the Alicorn goddess of war and wisdom, but she died long before he was born.
"Wow, daddy, that was an amazing story!" Athena said.
"I told you it would be," He responded. Then Starlight came into the room.
"Mommy!!" Athena exclaimed as she galloped/waddled over to her.
"Hey Atti," Starlight greeted her daughter by her nickname. She picked her up and put her on her back. Athena wrapped her arms around Starlight's neck. Starlight giggled. She went up to Rainius. "And how is my handsome King doing?" She said as she kissed him.
"Why, I'm doing fine, malady," He replied romantically before he went in and kissed her. Athena stuck her tongue out in disgust as they kept kissing. Starlight put Athena down next to Galaxy. "We have big news."
"What is it?!" Athena asked anxiously. Her tail wagging like crazy.
"We're having a baby!!" Rainius and Starlight said in unison. The two sisters looked at their parents for a moment before turning to face each other and squealed in excitement.
Starlight chuckled. "Girls, girls!" She said, getting them to calm down. "We don't know if it'll be a boy or a girl, but I hope you two will love it just as much as it will love you."
"Of course we will!" Galaxy said. "You can count on us!!"
As Rainius watched his two daughters he couldn't help but shed a tear as he looked at his family and saw a bunch of happy faces. This was all he could ever want and as he glanced over to his wife who he loved with his life, he thought about what the future holds and how no matter what happens, they would get through it together. Then that word replayed in his head. Forever. That sounded quite alright to him. Forever… and forever… and forever.
The End
I still call shenanigans on Celestias death, but a good story none-the-less!
So what’s next?

Not even Alicorns can survive everything. Not even Celestia. Especially with the killing spell he casted.
10087754
And maybe an audio drama of the story. Not sure when I can do that, but I hope it can be soon. But after this I'm going to be taking a break from writing for a little while.
10087769
True, but Again she is the manifestation of her sun! Her and Luna are directly connected to their charges, they are immortal for as long as their Charges exist.
From what I understand ALL of the Alicorns (can’t speak for the bat types) are Immortal so long as their respective charges they govern over exist, this is even eluded to in canon. So even IF Celestia does, she would come back from her charge akin like a phoenix from its ashes.
Meh, it just seemed like a copout for Dramas sake.
10087772
That would be cool, I hope the break isn’t permanent! A lot of authors say that and don’t come back
As for what you write when you come back? I will not lie, I wouldn’t mind seeing a Dusk Shine story XD
10087886
The break won't be permanent. I promise that. Cause most likely I'll be back with a sequel to Midnight Sun. And a Dusk Shine story? I have never done a story with the gender swapped mane six before. I may take it into consideration. And I have wanted to make an audio drama for awhile, ever since I watched Ashley H's Remembrance, so I really want to do one and I want it to be of this story.
Thnaks for the wondeful story I hope in there wil be a sequal to go with this story keep up the good work

I'm glad you enjoyed it!! 😁

My apologies, that was rather unkind, now that I'm looking back on it. I was reading the story again for the second time to catch up, and was finally beginning to understand the plots points and how everything fit together.
Please don't get me wrong: I freaking LOVE the story itself. Its the way it was written that was confusing and irritating me; mostly grammer mistakes (I have a sort of trigger problems with confusing stories, like huge time skips, vague details for the characters, polt points that I never saw coming, grammer errors, etc.) That, does not excuse what I said. A poor choice of words.
Now I'm truly thinking about it, your story is epic and intriguing and includes all the wonderful things a story should have to keep your readers interested--- hence all the positive comments (Which by the way, congrats! Good on you, my friend)
I'm getting off track here. My point is, I love the story, I truly do. I was getting off track and extremely confused because of the constant grammer snags I kept running into, and I complained to the internet, which rightfully caused you to respond.
So, (as a very long and detailed answer to your question) to answer your question: I love the story, and I was confused about the way it was written, and I lashed out, and I am very sorry.
(If you got bored reading this, I'm sorry for that too )
10095415
It's fine and thank you! And I hope you are ready for maybe an audio drama of it if I do that and a sequel in the future.
10096332
Yes! Yes please! If you'll allow me, I would love to provide some art for background peices!
10096528
Okay. I would love you to see what you do with this!
