Being forced to hide who you are from the world is never easy, but what is more tiring is pretending you are everything they expect you to be.

I loved it, it is a very emotional and beautiful story.
Nice story about a meeting between two characters you really don't see interact much in fanfic, at least not to my knowledge. Thought Skystar had a bit too much thinking-out-loud, but now that I think about it that's probably in-character for her.
Nice work.
This was a really nice nuanced dive into the situation of the hippogriffs. I really like to see Skystar get this kind of attention
Nice work, well done.
nice~
awesome story mate keep it up cant wait for the next story you write

1. How was Celestia caught by a surprise attack if she knew about the Storm King in advance?
2. How do tears roll down cheeks underwater?
Good but odd.
Well this is a pretty interesting story and I guess this is before the movie come around so it feels like Skystar she wants to explore around Equestria but because the storm king is still out there she couldn't she felt trap but then suddenly Princess Celestia showed up and talk to her which that's pretty nice to see don't worry skystar things will change just hang in there Twilight and the others will stop the Storm King this was a pretty good story keep up the good work
Ooh! I really like Skystar's scene with Celestia. You don't always need to know the answers, indeed.
Excellent story, Nailah. Gives what happened before the movie, especially Skystar, a new perspective.
This is such an interesting story - it's full of exactly the things I like (contemplative moments, nice and realistic interactions, fun literary devices like the repeated deep breath motif, inner emotional explorations), so maybe I'm a bit biased even leaving aside the cover, but... I do think this is one of the best things you've yet written. Very much reminds me of Bag of Tricks in some ways (that's a good thing!), very new and different in others, and of course a very original pairing of characters. I liked this a lot, thank you for publishing it!
Lovely story, Nailah. I could easily feel all the emotions going through Skystar and what a weight her mother has put on her. Gotta love how good Celestia is at helping everyone!
