Princess Luna and Twilight Sparkle are enjoying the wonders of Camping in the Great out of of doors, or they would if only the rain would stop. What are two bored mares going to do to pass the time.
The code of the alicorn is that only those lucky enough to be born that way will stay immortal. Those who ascend have the same life expectancy as any other normal pony. ["Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?"]
Even when there's no light at the end of the tunnel, that doesn't mean you can't keep moving. Luna finds it within herself to put one hoof in front of the other, as her immortality melts away.
Twilight Sparkle wakes up to a very unwelcome idea. Now she needs to find a way to clear it out of her mind. Because if she falls asleep before it's gone, the Princess of Dreams will get to see that idea for herself.
"Immortality" is such a vague, misleading term. When the fires of life have perished, and all that once tied you to the world has gone, even a Goddess' life can end.
Twilight has a question. One that has plagued her mind] since her ascension and tonight, the stars are going to give her the courage to find her answer.
After her emotional revelations to Twilight Sparkle, Princess Luna returns to Canterlot uncertain of her feelings, her place in the world, and even her identity. Her big sister tries to help her feel a bit less adrift.
Twilight has had trouble sleeping. Perhaps it was the change in surroundings after her old home was destroyed. Or perhaps something deeper is troubling her. As she wanders the midnight streets, a fellow traveler may grant her the solace she seeks.
On the Night Mare's Night, Archdruid Twilight Sparkle prays to her goddess. For the first time, her goddess answers. Unfortunately, matters are never quite that simple when one is dealing with a being of power beyond mortal comprehension.
