Log 767: Generosity.
Day 767
It happened again. I thought I’d be able to handle it, I really did. It’s been a while since it last happened. It hurts all the same.
Worse, even.
Today another friend passed away. Today Rarity left us.
It had been coming for some time, we knew it, she knew—yet nothing could prepare us for when it’d actually occur.
In typical Rarity fashion, she had to be extravagant and graceful, even on her deathbed.
Done up in a glorious gown, a final design of hers we and her sister carefully constructed, being she was too weak to do it herself, she laid in her bed calmly.
The room wasn’t filled by a big ensemble, not anymore. She didn’t have any family left, besides her sister, and in regards to us, well…
When you’re missing two ponies of six, it feels a lot more empty than you’d think.
Soon it’d be three of six.
She didn’t complain, she wasn’t scared, I’d dare say she was honestly relieved.
‘And to think I still look as divine as ever.’ That’s what she weakly mumbled on her bed, smiling an innocent smile all the while. It got a chuckle out of us through our tears.
Even in death, she was always one to care for her beauty.
Sweetie Belle held her sister’s hoof, softly and carefully stroking Rarity’s pristine, white coat, maintained and perfect as always, while doing everything in her ability to keep herself together.
She wanted to be strong for her sister, but she was falling apart more and more by the minute.
Spike did his best to comfort her, but he was barely holding it together himself. True, he and Rarity never became an item, his nonsensical, childish crush long gone by now, but he still cared for her as deeply as a friend possibly could.
We all did.
Which made saying goodbye all the harder.
The minutes ticked by. The sounds of sobs and the occasional sniffle filled the room.
Her breathing began to slow, as her smile relaxed itself on her face.
That sparkle in her eye, the sparkle that had a vision for fashion, beauty, and the art of design began to twinkle away.
Her eyes shut, showing off the eyeshadow she carefully applied like she did everyday—even to her last day.
We could all hear her final huff of air.
She really did look as beautiful as ever.

SFW from ebonyglow?? i must be dreaming
This is excellent! I cannot wait for more already!
The Prologue was incredibly well-written, the logs took me multiple attempts to read because I was dying too much and I hate Opaline, which is a good thing, I can't believe she burned their book, poor Misty.
I'm excited to see what happens next and to probably die to more logs XD
This is shaping up well!
Good story, but anyway way to go

real
SFW from ebony? A rarity indeed
So I'm excited, I have to admit .w.
Updates should be weekly, if not sooner by the way!
This sfw stuff is fun

no its a pipp petals :troll:
I do not read pony focused stories often. Considering the content of what I produce it should be expected as such. This caught my eye on Twitter, that loathsome hole, and I am happy to have followed it to its source.
I am both impressed and jealous of the pacing of this story and its little bows to history and nods to the present.
I eagerly await more to come.
more pls
I was quite curious where Spike had gotten to, seeing as he wasnt mentioned prior. Glad he was here though.
Am curious also what happened to Spike and Flurry Heart, them two likely having longer life spans and all. Spike being a dragon, in most fantasy settings Dragons having lifespans of centuries even millennia sometimes. But Flurry Heart... I guess it is up to the author's interpretation.
11588527
Flurry Heart wouldn’t have a longer lifespan. The prologue explains how immortality isn’t a part of being an alicorn, it solely relates to the Elements
She’d live no longer than the average pony. She really doesn’t have a connection with the M6 outside of Twilight being her aunt, so I don’t think I’ll be including her in any logs or flashbacks

Indeed, different authors, different interpretations. Which i accept and i already love the story. Its a good way to go about it. But I am just explaining the way i see Flurry Heart here, I am not imposing or critzising.
The other alicorns Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight were all given their immortality magically, magical means it can be given up at the user's will or if not say when magic left equestria as it did. That means no magic to power the magical powered immortality thus taking it away.
Flurry Heart, is a natural born alicorn which means any immortality she has has been with her all the way through her life and is natural, natural to her. And is thus unable to be removed by such the means that the powering down of magic like what happened. She would be naturally and inherently immortal like elves in many fantasy settings. Also giving a reason why her birth was so important and makes her more important.
But as i said this is just my interpretation, i just wanted to share it.
11588536
oh no i didnt take that as you imposing! sorry if my tone wasnt clear, its hard through text! I love seeing comments and theories like that! theyre fun to answer
11588548
Totally agreed, I was more so just making sure i wasnt coming off as rude or anything. Just glad I wasnt.
Hype train this is good!
This is a really great fanfic so far. Can’t wait to see more.
You get an upvote for that cover art alone.
Who made it? Because it is absolutely stunning.

Extremely talented friend of mine! I designed the general idea, and she drew it out
11588579
the game and comics did it too lmao
they LOVE making magic disappear in the official material
Havent even read this story yet (will get to it, trust), but that cover art alone is HEAVY. Absolutely love the design and concept. Interested to see how this'll play out!
It's great to see more g5 stories coming out, I feel there's barely any content worth reading. The story looks great so far, hope to see more soon.
Ohhh, a SFW story from amazing clopfic writer... I like this.
i still don't get why people just go and dislike half the comments on stories for no reason.
it makes no sense.
11589055
me neither.
stupid trolls downvote me when I did nothing absolutely wrong, along with other people.
I don't see what they are trying to accomplish.
Oh dear so another one bites the dust and Rarity really go out with a beauty and style I figured she would they never thought it would be this soon but sometimes it's always going to happen of the unexpected even if it hurts
It's getting hard to read this story. Not because the story is bad or poorly written, far from it, but the constant switching between the logs and the current story is getting tough. There have only been a few fanfics that I've ever read that has gotten me this invested, this emotional, this excited. I understand the logs are meant to be heartbreaking, but it almost feels like I was their friend, right there by their sides. Maybe it's because I grew up with the show and was there as it ended.
This is a fantastic story, and I'm not even halfway done yet. Congratulations, this is one of the best stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading on this site!
