Are the rest of the six founders of Equestria going to appear in this story series?

I didn't like reading this part. Because Twilight herself would NEVER look at Celestia the same way again, if that was true.
OH boy.

Only if they fit in the overall story I'm telling. They were briefly mentioned in the first story.

I realize my opinion is subject to being biased, but ask yourself this.
If she had and was eventually able to bounce back, do you think Celestia is the kind of person who would hide herself away, or do everything she could to make up for it?

Well, it will be very hard for the families/friends to "forgive" and stop fearing her. That's all I'm saying.

While the immortals have to constantly live with the reminder, 1000 years is a long time for past wrongs to fall into obscurity.

On the flip side, Celestia is the only one of all the Alicorns to fall to their "Nightmare" form and escape it under their own power.
Luna required the elements and a millennia long time out on the nearest satellite. Twilight nearly killed one of Clover's friends and could have done damage to Discord if it came to it and Clover eventually managed to fix her of the affliction. Remarking that it was a process most Alicorns seem to go through at some stage.
But Celestia? She succumbs to the Nightmare after Luna's imprisonment, is briefly sealed in stone before she's freed by Twilight's ancestors, and has a (brief) reign of terror that remains in the genetic memories of most Ponies who still fear her in a way they seemingly don't fear Luna. She is abandoned by Clover.
But she hauls *herself* out of the Shadows. She cures herself. She - alone of the Alicorns - throws off the Nightmare by her own Power. Then reigns for a thousand years in peace and harmony. Without her sister. Without her parents. Without a lover. Everyone she draws close to eventually dies.
I don't think Twilight would think of her the same.
But I don't think she'd be angry.
She would be proud of her mentor. Because for every trial she and Cadence and Sunset have had at their various stages of accension, every question they had for their mentor about what it means to be immortal, to be worshiped as a deity, to be an Alicorn?
Celestial walked that path first. And she Did it Alone.
Every time you think about how Luna depends on her big Sis, Cadence on her Auntie, or Twilight on her Mentor, remember that Celestia did it *Alone*. Imagine what learning of Clover's nature means.
When Luna emerged from the Nightmare, her sister was there. To hug her and tell her it was okay. That she could make ammends.
When Twilight ascended, Celestia was there to guide her. To explain to her what it meant. To sing of her accomplishments.
Who was Celestias mentor? For whom was she a faithful student? Where could she turn to?
When she shook herself free of Daybreaker, when she stood in the Ashes of the Nightmare, that took all her pain, all her wrath and fear and misery and loneliness and turned it against the people of Equestria, who were *hers* to protect and guide and care for, Who was there to say "Its okay. You're free now. The Nightmare is Over." ?
Who was there to protect and guide and care for her?

Hmm, touche.

Yep. Her PSTD would be the absolute worst. But, she somehow went though with it alone.
