The year is 1502. Long gone are the times of subjective harmony, long gone are the times of friendship. The sun shines brightly and unyieldingly over a new land, the Solar Empire. Ruled solely and perfectly by Empress Daybreaker.
"Look at me, Sunrise," the Empress said, "I am not asking you to do the impossible. This path, it causes you pain. That pain shapes you into a creature worthy and capable of leading the Empire. As leaders, we do what commoners cannot. We endure the nightmares that would drive them mad, we make the decisions that would tear open their hearts, and we live with the consequences that would force them to drive a nail through their own brains. The equines are our people, our kind, but we are better. That is why they look up to us as leaders, and we must hold ourselves to that. We can never say that we are better simply because of our favorable predispositions of race and birthright, lest we become as Taurus or Chrysalis. We must always strive to be better, to protect those underneath us. It is our duty. So know this, whatever choice you make, whatever action you take, and whatever consequence you face, you do so with the Empire in mind. You do so knowing that if paradise comes not on this day, it shall be rewarded to you tenfold the next. I would not have selected you all of those years ago if I were not certain you could handle the greatest of strife and difficulty, I believe in you."
This is a great speech by a crazy person. Because it shows how bad shit crazy Celestia has went. Making a tough decision doesn't make it right even if it's necessary. And this because you believe you have to do something wrong doesn't mean you should do it as a leader or as anyone else. I think this is a great example to Soha flawed Celestia or daybreaker really is in only because of twilight's blind loyalty that see with not hear this and think well that's not right.
Such a captivating story, yet so little likes and views...
This is the third fic I have found that has an amazing story, yet receives little to no attention. What is with that?

I always figured most people don't have the mature viewing enabled, so it doesn't get out as much but I'm not sure. Thanks though
