My name is Celestia, though for much of my existence, you may have known me as Princess Celestia. Rest assured, those days are long behind me. I have lived longer than I care to elaborate on. Seen so much good. Love, joy, wonder. And so much bad as well. So much death, suffering, and pain. The good always prevails, but the bad is never quite held at bay for long. Not that it will be my concern for much longer.
I am about to die.

Love it! can you do one for Luna, Cadence, Twilight and the rest of the main 6? Also pissibly one for a few of the background characters? This story was perfect for a way to say goodbye to the G4 characters.
I'm not crying, you're crying
This was a really good read. It's very interesting to think about the fact that in the show, Celestia and Luna are so nonchalant about wanting to just retire to Silver Shoals. I really wish we had had an episode that discussed mortality, and how they've had to live beyond so many friends. It would have been a great lesson for Twilight.
Nice "Lord of the Rings" reference.
I liked this
Celestia's death from the loss of magic from ponies not focusing on her reminds me of Queen Mab from Merlin.
"I will do worse than hate you... I will forget you."
Well done.

I think you might rather enjoy one of my previous works if you're looking for something along similar lines to this. Written for the Dialogue-Only contest, 'I Know You're There' is a Twilight story that... well, I'll leave you to see what you think.

Thank you! I've been thinking for a while that Immortal Twilight is a controversial topic among the fandom, some people are all for it and some people absolutely loathe it, there must be a third option. In my mind, this is a logical middle-ground, having her magic and longevity fuelled by the worship from her subjects.
