“To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received.”
— Lorien, Babylon 5

Went a bit faster than I would've liked, but this was still nice.

That show was very underrated.

Yeah, there are two -very- different interpretations on immortality/extremely long lives.

Hehe, yeah, I'm a pretty main plot point oriented.

Firm disbeliever in the “better to have loved and lost” concept I see.

10265203
Hehe, kind of seems to be the opposite.

How so? Discord obviously regrets that things have gone as far as they did.

Whoops, I misread your statement. ^.^

I don’t really understand.

Reading every Depth in Innocence Contest entry: Story 7: A High Price by Jhoira

A short piece, to be sure, but no less meaningful. I quite like this piece.

Discord is an interesting character, and when it comes to his relationship with Fluttershy, there's almost no limit to the stories that can be told. In this case, it's one about immorality, and Discord unwilling to pay the cost of loving a mortal. I felt that Discord may have been a bit too serious in this one, but I guess that makes sense given the context.

They say it is better to have loved and lost, but if you are a true immortal, living to the end of time itself, could you bear that loss? Discord doesn't seem to think he can. Even if he wishes otherwise.

What don't you understand?

The reason he can’t return fluttershy’s feelings.

10313908
Because she's going to die and he's going to live for hundreds of billions of years. That's an experience he is unwilling to go through.

Wow, that is sad.

On a more serious note, you're making me want to read some Fluttercord again. Or listen to the audio drama on YouTube.

You explained Discord's immortality better in 1,000 words than most longer stories do. For every happy memory he could make, he'll have countless eons remembering the loss afterward.

I have a skill for doing things in a single picture. :D

Looking out over the landscape Discord grinned. "Look at your kingdom, Twilight, what do you see?

I got strong Lion King vibes from this. :rainbowlaugh: But on a serious note, well done explain Discords immortality in a way that I have never thought of. Makes you wonder if he has actually pursed a relationship and it end horrible costing countless lives in the process, who knows. Anyways well done!

Reminds me of a couple other stories that look at this frame on the issue those being "Forever Young" by Hyperexponential and "Keepers of Discord" by Hoopy McGee both of which made me cry a bit. This one didn't quite make it, but had it been just a paragraph or three longer, I am willing to bet that would have done it, you had the excellent word choice and emotional imagery.
