Featherdust was the premier maiden to Her Majesty, Princess Celestia. To others, it was a position of great renown, and a higher honor than simply serving the princess.
Now, she has forsaken the sun, to serve only the moon.

Is Featherdust related to Featherduster?
It's brief, but it overflows with tragedy and bitterness.
Beautiful work, dear Odd Sarge.
Seems like epilouge of an interesing story.

The end of one, and the start of another.

ooh, i always wondered about this generation! old enough to have been adults when Celestia and Luna took the throne, their relationship to their Princesses really would be different from the generations that come after
and oof! Luna knowing somewhere deep in her that this is not a decision she can fully and proudly defend. especially, i imagine, to someone who is older, so loyal to her, and has experienced loss that the Princess could not imagine
and, oof! Celestia gets a nation, while Luna gets a hoofful of palace staff
oh, very cool! those who remembered Luna and knew of her pain must have had this role for Celestia for as long as they were alive
and oof! love this look at Luna’s turn into Nightmare Moon from a viewpoint that is not explored nearly often enough. and the idea that those who followed her would wage an unseen war on Celestia is far too simple. they would undoubtedly have lived like this: being the weight of the memory of Luna’s pain while still being a part of the Society that played its part in how she felt. great work, thank you for writing!
Good use of the canon to say what you didn’t have room for. There wasn’t much room here, but I do appreciate a timeline where Luna had some ponies with her in the night. Not nearly enough, but some.
Still, even with offloading as much of the narrative load as you could, you couldn’t quite stick the landing. The story still feels cramped, especially the last scene. This would be a fascinating portrait of those rare few who put their faith in Luna if expanded. As is, it’s good, but it’s rushed. Still, thank you for it.
