Bad Dragon's Short Stories

by Bad Dragon

01 - Through the Ages [2017.12]

Author's Note:

The next wall contains the furthest recorded memory of them all; a glimpse into the future at the end of time.

But should you read it? Sometimes, it is better not to know what the future holds.

“You’re so lucky to be able to live through the ages”, my little ponies said. If only they had known…

I never had the heart to tell them, despite knowing that this endless night would come. For a short period of time, I had some semblance of a hope after witnessing Discord’s magic. It was for that reason that the Elements were ordered to release him from the stony prison. I would not care even if he destroyed the whole of Equestria, as long as he would prevent this final fate of the universe. Alas, not even Discord could oppose the laws of entropy.

The ages went by, the stars twinkled and died one by one. So too did the Equestrian sun. I sit alone in the darkness now, counting the cold ages as they come and go. I envy everypony who passed away so long ago, for I lack the ability to die. I stay forevermore. Forever. Alone.

All of these short stories could become long fics, even novels. But then they would force the reader to commit, and ain't nopony got time for that, right?

Thus is life in the Degenerate Era.

11136522 That's an era of brown dwarfs, white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. This story takes place even later than that.

[Doctor NOOOOOOOO]

Ah yes, the heat death of the universe.
