Epilogue
Peach Fizz grinned as she opened the door to Opaline’s castle and walked into the throne room. A large basket was levitating beside her, full to the brim and then some.
“Oh, my darling Peach Fizz,” Opaline cooed. “You’ve returned and brought me presents. Did you get everything that was on the list?”
“Almost,” Peach Fizz replied. “The biggest one, I couldn’t get that.”
“Oh?” Opaline gasped. “Why was that my dear, what happened?”
“I only saw her once,” Peach Fizz explained. “When I tried to release the spell like you told me, nothing happened.”
Opaline frowned as she walked over to Peach Fizz. “Put the basket down dear and let me check.”
Lighting her horn, Opaline placed it on Peach Fizz’s. After a few seconds, she pulled back, a puzzled expression on her face.”
“Well from what I can tell the spell released successfully,” she replied. “Are you sure you did exactly as I told you?”
“Yes, Mistress Opaline,” Peach Fizz said sadly. “I’m sorry if I’ve failed you.”
Opaline levitated the basket up towards her before rifling through it with her hoofs. She smiled happily at the contents. “It’s okay my darling Peach Fizz. You’ve done so well bringing me everything else. It must have been very difficult. We’ll try again with the spell. I must have a new herald to enact my plans.”
“Am I not enough then?” Peach Fizz sighed.
“You’re an excellent help in your own way,” Opaline smiled. “Far better than Misty was before she left. I should have made her more loyal ages ago. My new herald needs to be powerful. They need to retrieve things that will be far too dangerous for one such as yourself.”
“Like what things?” Peach Fizz asked.
“Dragons,” Opaline smiled. “To overcome the accursed barrier that traps me here, I need the power of all the cutie marks. To get that, I need more dragon fire and to get that…”
“You need Dragons,” Peach Fizz deduced.
“Exactly,” Opaline grinned. “I’ve pretty much taken all the little dragon has. Therefore, the next place to go will be the Dragon Lands themselves. Now there are three Together Trees, the dragons will be awakening. Sunny Starscout and her friends are still providing me with everything I need.”
Suddenly, the door to the castle opened with a thud.
“I have come as requested,” a monotone voice said.
Opaline and Peach Fizz both turned to look at the owner of the voice.
“Oh, Peach Fizz, it seems you haven’t failed to find a herald after all,” Opaline grinned broadly.
“But that’s not Starlight Glimmer,” Peach Fizz gasped.
“No, it’s the next best thing,” Opaline smiled. “Sunset Shimmer.”
Sunset stood rigidly in the doorway. The whites of her eyes had turned completely purple, and she had a vacant expression on her face.
To be Continued in: Marking the Generations – Part Three.

WHAT
I DID NOT EXPECT THAT 
AT THIS POINT, IF THE RAINBOW OF LIGHT COMES BACK IM NOT GONNA BE SURPRISED
Also, I binge read (is that a thing? I’m gonna say yes!) your entire series in 2 days. Concerning, but to be fair when someone has creative block and is a speed reader, anything can happen!

Yeah, proper twisty isn't it.
What happens to Sunset is a major aspect of Part 3.
Hoping you didn't find too many errors whilst binge reading
Following feedback, I have been improving my editing to hopefully pick up more errors. I plan to go back through both currently published stories and clear out any that I have so far missed.

I did not find any errors so kudos!
Peach Fizz has hope for the de-mind-ifiying, but for Sunset I’m not sure.
Every plot twist keeps getting me, I honestly thought in Part 1 that the crystal with Sunny’s cutie mark (before we meet Sunset and Starlight) would be the growth of a new element of unity, actually, that’s not out of the question. But anyways... Hitch needs to become a princess in Part 3. We’ve got Zipp, Pipp, Sunny (hopefully), so next should be Hitch! I mean, he’s already the sheriff of Maretime Bay, he can be the Princess of Sheriffs!

I think you mean Prince (for males). Otherwise, you make very good points.
Hello there. Not much I can say other than really good job on the dialogue, characterizations and set-up for Part Three. Definitely got the "appropriately bad feelings" vibes not only from Peach Fizz and Opaline's chat (not only concerning the degree of the latter's control over the former, but also the stuff concerning the dragons and Sunset apparently also ending up under Opaline's control. Yikes! Hopefully, both Peach Fizz AND Sunset will be able to eventually overcome it in time to help stop Opaline.
REALLY looking forward to parts Three and Four.

I mean, we do have Princess Big Mac: (See episode “Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep” for context)
But yes, Prince Hitch, Prince of Sheriffs!

Fair point.
Your two chapters were great! Also, Glimburts, I'm giving you a trophy for finishing your Marking the Generations - Part Two. Congratulations. 🏆
I'll be looking forward to read part 3.

You will be happy to hear that Part three is well underway.
I actually have a First Draft of the entire thing!
However, it is extremely rough and needs a lot of work to bring it to where I am happy with it. Problem is, I am away for a week from Saturday so won't have chance to carry out the edits needed until my return.
I am hoping to start releasing Part Three sometime later this month.

Yeah. I understand. No worries, though. I'm definitely the type of person who is more than willing to wait for quality work. After all, if the longer wait results in better quality, that the wait was/is more than worth it.
This story was absolutely great, I can't wait for part 3

Sounds interesting.

Honestly, didn't think of that. Let's say that if all goes well, I have other plans for Argyle
Hmmm... Wonder if Sunset might be FAKING mind control? From a narrative perspective I doubt it is the case, but "make eyes glow" doesn't sound like a difficult effect, and she did mind control an entire school once, so she has at least a LITTLE concept of what it looks like, even assuming she didn't practice the spell on volunteers while she was Celestia's student.
