AndForever


T

Twilight's success in her new spell is short-lived when an unforeseen effect leads to a nighttime visit from Princess Luna. Noticing something amiss, Twilight tests the waters of conversation, trying to uncover the source of the princess's melancholy--and succeeds, all too well. Twilight soon finds herself privy to tales of Luna's past and the jarring truth of her nature with respect to that of her much adored sister. The encounter leaves Twilight shaken, setting her on the path, with the aid of her new spell, to help Luna through her difficult time. The prized student finds herself distracted, however, drawn back time and again to the one question looming over all the rest: how to console a goddess who's lost faith in her purpose--and even more unnerving, in existence itself.

Wow. Just wow. I've heard a lot of theories about the alicorns, but the idea that only Luna is eternal and Celestia is mortal is a new one. But I guess from an astronomical perspective it makes sense.

I'll have to favorite this and see where it goes!

Looks like both you and Luna need a really big hug :applecry:

This is a unique and beautiful take on who and what Luna is, and offers a very different concept of an alicorn's view of eternity. I like it a lot!

I am enjoying this story so far. Three of my favorite ponies in the first chapter! :ajsmug:

Seems like :twilightblush: is bearing the brunt of :ajbemused: and Luna's troubles. I know you don't have Applejack in the description and I know most authors have trouble with her accent, however, I would like to see more of her in this story. That's up to you, of course. :ajsleepy:

Your descriptions and your plot seems to flow well enough. Already raised the bar on yourself while admitting that English isn't your first language. Great job on the dream sequence. Also enjoy the mythos you've created with Tia and Luna.

I'm so happy you're all enjoying it so far!:twilightsmile:

To point out a few things, although I haven't figured out how to like...link people's names in replies here like I've seen other posters do:

-I deal with these and similar themes a lot in my works, in some way, shape, or form. I have an honest interest in things like purpose and meaning, and I tend to drive my fiance nuts with it when we're strolling on the boardwalk after dark. Though I suppose she must enjoy it at least a little...

-I'm not Korean; sorry for the confusion. I'm American. I teach English here, at least for the next few months. I really don't feel like sticking around to renew my contract with the changes in the public education system here and the wackos up North.

-I think you may see more of A.J. Not totally sure yet, honestly. She's actually my favorite character. I come from farm country originally, grew up around it my whole life, so it's a very...familiar feeling she gives off. I mean, you'll definitely see at least some more of her, considering the setup in the first chapter and how averse I am toward dropping plot threads.

My workload around here just got a tad heavier, but I'm still working on the next chapter. So yeah. Thanks for reading, and double thanks for comments! You know I love it--especially given how much I seem to crave English conversation and feedback around here... The isolation is... Well, it's something, anyhow.:twilightsheepish:

New chapter! :yay:

The bad news? Originally, this chapter was a lot longer. The good news? The next chapter is basically done; I split them, since there's a logical break here and I figure something this size is easier for people to read.

I know there's a lot of, like...narration in this section, but man...nature of the beast, kinda. Most of it's solo Twilight, so there can't really be...dialogue. Sucks, but I tried to make the narration as entertaining and show-don't-tell-y as I could.

Point out mistakes and whatnot, comment (please?), favorite (pretty please?:twilightsheepish:), and enjoy! :twilightsmile:

I understand what happened, but just have a vague idea of what Applejack is included in present company. I feel there is a role hidden in there somewhere, but can't quite grasp it(maybe a straw or red herring?). :applejackconfused::applejackunsure:

Still, Luna just lost her composure when Twilight just invaded her privacy like that. Critical. :flutterrage: I kinda expected AJ, since she doesn't gave direct control of magic, to bum-rush Luna and knock some kind of sense into her.

I honestly can't tell if these are good comments or bad ones :twilightblush:

As for A.J.'s presence, well...if you read the earlier parts, you know she's there because she wouldn't let herself not be there; she is really, really out of her sphere at the moment, which will change later.

I can't wait for the next chapter.

I would love to see you continue this.
Do you have any plans to? :fluttershysad:
