Time is running out. A thousand years have passed and Celestia could feel her strength fading. She would need to choose quickly - choose someone who would inherit her power. And who none better than the one she had looked over for the past couple decades? However, she's very sure that Twilight would not like to hear what the ultimate cost of it is.

Urk.
already so hooked
Typo in the description.

Oh wow I spelled passed wrong. How embarrassing.
Typo in the story:
to swallow.
I like the tiny tidbit of Egyptian mythos in there. But yeah, decisions decisions...
Damn, son. That was epic. The (long) video you linked was good too.
Read that out loud, please. Then you'll find out what's wrong.

Thank you for noticing that. Should have been "The flames grew brighter and stronger"
4928798
No problem, man.
Please continue!!
Eh, just get Discord to do it.
He barely has to flex his pinkie to make the Sun pop up and down.
I'm sure he'll do a great job!
*5 minutes later.... the Sun crashes into the planet. Discord twiddled his thumbs and transforms into a familiar grey pegasus...* I just don't know what went wrong!

Well... that would be a little awkward if Celestia gets Discord involved. For reasons you may not be thinking of.
4932213 Reasons are irrelevant to trolling!
Make Discord do it, for it will amuse me.
4932387
maybe?
If you would change your avatar picture to this for the remainder of your days

4932489 That... is tempting... but I think it'd be too small as an avatar to see much detail.

Here's a pic of just Twi then.

or as an alternative

Remember: for the rest of your life.
I'll be checking on you from time to time if you do.
4935243 Now I'm just too lazy.

k. i'll know you'll come back tho
I like how Discord helps in his own way.
5021991
Yep. By being a total dick and releasing all the anger and stress outta ya.
Yay Luna is here to help Twily!
Wow. Discord can really be an asshole.
I'd like to think he's just lying, but Discord tends to distort the truth rather than tell outright falsehoods. I'd trust Luna's perspective a lot more.
I'm not entirely sure what you meant to say in this sentence. There's nothing "perpetual" here.

Maybe, but the ball of magic is and she's still feeding it by maintaining control of it. Control demands energy, and that energy is feeding into the sphere. It's kind of like filling a balloon with the hose faucet, except there's no off switch.
5024015 The ball of magic isn't perpetual. There's nothing eternal or everlasting about it. It's something she can't stop, but that doesn't make it perpetual. "Uncontrolled", "unrestrained", "rampageous", or "rampant", perhaps, but nothing you said in that segment of the story or in your reply to me has anything to do with the word "perpetual".
5024287
Wow ok calm down.
5024339 I wasn't upset, angry, or agitated. I was just pointing out that the word didn't fit.
Tone is difficult to express across the internet.
I think this could use a touch of editing. Not sure what the right words are, but it could some refining.
P.S.
Celestia is fairly dense to think that her announcing her inevitable demise is going to produce anything other than immediate denial...
5032519
She thought she could handle it.
OH. OOOOOH. oh.
