「actively activating abstract amenities.」

T

Sometimes the worst feeling in the word is the feeling of forgetting someone. That feeling you get when you can just barely remember someone important in your life, someone you once loved or idolized. Lightning knows that feeling all too well.

He’s been feeling it for the past decade. As the years slowly tick by he can feel himself forget more and more about the ponies he once called friends and family. He despises the feeling. He wished he could get rid of it forever.

So he does.


Heavily inspired by Monochromatic’s Injuring Eternity, go check them out!

Not even the Sun’s Light was able to reach every single crevice within the Castle.

If you're talking about literal light from the sun, "Sun's Light" shouldn't have any capitalization as it's not a proper noun. If I'm wrong, ignore this.

The Castle was devoid of tapestries and stained glass, and it was devoid of life. All the castle was lifeless, except for a Tower.

Got some redundancy here. First sentence is kinda odd too. It might flow better if you were to phrase it something like "The castle was devoid of tapestries, stained glass, but most damningly, life. That is, except in a single tower" Then add some spooky descriptions like "overlooking the Everfree" or something.

All the castle was lifeless, except for a Tower. A Tower at the rear of the Castle. From the Tower, came Light. There, an alicorn worked.

Neither Tower or Light should be capitalized. They're both regular nouns, not proper nouns. Unless Light is the name of a spell or something.

I also noticed you do the same thing with "Castle." Unless used in a name like "Castle of the Two Sisters" castle shouldn't be capitalized.

The Castle, while once built in the middle of a bustling city filled with people and ponies,-

Ooh, a new area where humans used to live as well? Color me interested.

The alicorn sat in the middle of a room, his horn aglow with a light grey aura surrounding it. His mane, a royal blue one, seemed to disobey the rules of gravity, floating in every which direction. Around the alicorn, what seemed to be strands of yarn surrounded him. His eyes, while normally colored dark emerald green, were glowing white, and his head jerked around. He was looking.

These last two sentences are worded quite oddly. Especially since a sentence needs a direct object and a verb, and the last one is missing a direct object. Maybe rephrase it like "His eyes, usually a dark emerald green, but now a glowing white, were peering around pensively/inquisitively at his surroundings."

What was he looking at? Everything. He looked at everything, every time, anywhere.

Would change "anywhere" to "everywhere". Fits better with the surrounding sentences.

He was what ponies called, ‘Fate’. Except he has no say in what individuals do. All he knew was what they were going to do. He knew everything, yet did nothing with his knowledge. What could he do anyway? If he told the foolish equines of their futures, he would be destroyed. If he brought them to the future… disaster.

If he were to try and forcefully change a timeline himself, he would be destroyed. That was the one that particularly hurt him. He wanted to change timelines, to change events to make things the way that he wanted, but he couldn’t.

Now I've seen a being of this concept in a lot of fics, but I particularly like how you introduced this one.

Lightning was always amused by King Chronos’ stories, his concentration breaking as he let out a loud exhale from his nose; a sign that he was slightly amused by his memories of that failure of a mentor. He thought back on how much he had despised the previous ruler, and how much he would have to thank him for when it was his turn to pass.

I've seen a ton of people misuse semicolons. Kudos on you for getting it right. :twilightsmile:

Right..?

Add one more period to make the ellipses proper. Like this: "Right...?"

There was a small window at the wall away from the door that led into the room. It was dusty and cracked, surprisingly still standing after Faust knows how many years of enduring powerful spells from all three rulers.

Why is Faust italicized and knows not? Since "Faust knows" is one complete phrased they should either be italicized or not italicized together.

It wasn’t the best that the castle had to offer as the actual Royal Chamber was within the main part of the castle. Lightning simply refused the luxuries of royalty in exchange for having more time to himself. He would be by himself anyways- no one worked inside the castle anyway, so the only other creatures that would even dare to enter those chambers would be the bugs and rats that plagued the Blasted Lands.

You used anyways twice in one sentence. That's a bit repetitive and kinda messes with the flow. Knock off the second one maybe? :twilightsheepish:

Lightning looked towards some shattered picture frames on one of the walls. They were empty, and the glass that once acted as a barrier for whatever picture would be placed inside was not covering the floor beneath them.

This last sentence is worded oddly.

As he looked at the frames, he began to feel something in his chest. It felt as if someone had started to gouge out his heart, heaving it nothing but a hollow, useless lump of meat. He looked at the picture frames with a pained expression. He remembered why he had gotten the frames.

leaving it nothing but a hollow, useless lump of meat,

:twilightblush:

He fell onto the ground, the sounds of his cries filling the room within the Tower.

Tower shouldn't be capitalized.

There was really only one question that prevented him from just dashing into the nearest town and hopping into the nearest Thread.

See above.

Altogether, nice. It's a very promising open, and has a good amount of vague. Enough to keep somebody reading. Not too many errors, especially for the first draft on your first story. I will be following this story till it's completion.
