Day 2194.
I thought it was my time. I felt it within me, that magic spark fading—the feeling all my friends had. I was prepared and I said my goodbyes. To that day I still admonished myself for not finding a successor, even when my advisors tried to comfort me. I held so much anger within myself for it. I had promised everypony I’d find somepony, a true successor to assemble the group that would act as our legacy.
Yet I could never move past her betrayal.
Neither could my friends, I suppose her influence held us all back. I can only hope that castle will get to her eventually. Until then, she will be sealed in there for as long as possible. A stasis in time—endless chances for her to become better. Equestria is safer with her banished outside of its borders.
I'm getting sidetracked. Too many thoughts at once. Too many memories. Too many questions.
The process of leaving Equestria without a Princess was terrifying to me. Starlight would’ve been wonderful, but she never wanted the role and had moved on years ago. Luster Dawn would be optimal, but I wasn’t going to force her to do it after she said she felt unready.
Still, I had faith ponies would find somepony to take the throne once I died.
…
Though I didn’t die.
At that moment, in my own bed, in my own castle, I closed my eyes to embrace the emptiness of life's magic within me, prepared to finally see my friends again…
Something brought me back.
I cannot fathom what had happened. In the moments before, I felt at peace. A blissful euphoria swept over me as I approached the next step in life, but in the next, burning.
It hurt, as if I was stung by a dozen manticores, and before I knew it that sensation had faded.
But everything felt wrong—because I felt right.
I didn’t feel tired, nor did I feel sick, worst of all…I didn’t feel old. All the aches I had, the pains, they vanished. I felt young and spry, like I could take on anything. The doctors said it was a miracle, some kind of blessing from the stars.
I didn’t want it.
I miss them.
I just want to see them.
I don’t know what it was, or how it happened. I’ve done all the research I can but I can’t find any answers. I write this in the hope that this change may be temporary. Perhaps some burst of life magic in me to keep me going for a short time longer. I’m overthinking things. It’ll come, my time, and I’ll be with them again.
It’s only been a few days, but I’m sure I will find an answer.
I was close to peace. Close to the magic we worked so hard to create. Close to the end of my story.
Close to my friends.
And yet something dares to keep me away from them.

They are childish and bitter people. Pay no attention to them.
New chapters just dropped, I´m so happy, thanks!
I get the story’s name, but did you really need to call it Remnant? Now every time I see this story I’m going to think it’s a RWBY crossover.
This is very good. I'm giving you six stars for doing a good job. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Didn't know a niche internet series now owns the word Remnant
Hope to see more of your chapters and remember: We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Here's a song that will make you do whatever it takes. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/HcNcOnIkQQU

Thank you
Amazing chapters. Keep it up Ebony!
Man, immortality really bites.
I honestly love how this story is developing so far! Keep it up!

Judging by what Twilight described, I don't think this is normal immortality. There are very strange and very unnatural and malevolent forces at work here, possibly with some kind of agenda that has done. . . something to Twilight. At least, that's how I'm interpreting this journal entry.

I personally think that Sunny already has the Element of Magic, but she just hasn't realized the 'spark' that makes it come to life! I hope we see Twilight get the peace and comfort she deserves, maybe after seeing the bond that these new six share with each other. Ot's such a good story but it hurts at the same time!
And that is how twilight, went and killed the Literal Elements of harmony… for Very good reason.
This is really an amazing story so far.
Huh very interesting so apparently her lifespan was about to come to an end as well but something kept her alive some unknown source or something and she had no idea what it is that is a very good question what is it and what will she do I guess we'll find out next time
I love this story but it is does make me feel like sobbing for Twilight. Also knowing what it feels like to lose you love ones it fucking hurts. But I feel closer to tears than I did when my grandparents died and we wear close and had a great relationship. But I think it wasn't as emotional as this. I know what grief is and it can be good but it affects everyone differently and how people respond to it. There will be days I remember all the fun times my three older brothers and I had with our grandparents, and my own bonding time with them. I cherished them but now I truly missed them unlike when they died a couple of years ago.
I love the story. Everything about it, the tragedy, the hopefulness, the inevitable fall. The only thing I find a little flew bar is twilight not trusting the next generation like Celestia did to her.
Is this story dead?

Hopefully...
Update when?
I recently marathoned MLP:FiM, and from then on I looked for content and ended up here. So far, this might be my favorite piece of media involving the franchise so far, with the Logs always stealing a few tears. Wonderful job.
Next update when?
