Expiry: Never
-
>Be Celestia
-
>For centuries you had ruled over your ponies with a firm yet maternal hoof
-
>You had watched countless ponies be born, grow old, and die
-
>The last time you had dared let your heart thaw and taken a stallion as your own was nigh half a millennia ago
-
>Of all the things you had grown used to pain was the most constant
-
>Your elation at Cadance ascending had been indescribable
-
>Centuries of loneliness forgotten in the first few years of her ascension
-
>She was the daughter you thought you could never have
-
>The foundation you hadn’t known you needed
-
>Her earnest and happy presence had made you once more rooted in the day to day
-
>For the first time in centuries the years didn't pass by in a blur, the days didn't flicker past like flashes of light
-
>As wonderful as your adopted niece was, she couldn't dull the ache in your chest when you saw mares with their husbands
-
>You had long ago resigned yourself to never knowing what it was like to truly share a life with a mate
-
>Perhaps that was why you so quickly abandoned all your morals when Anonymous appeared
-
>The poor man had been taken from his home, twisted into a creature not of his own species and left adrift in a strange new world
-
>You knew it was possible to undo what had been done to him
-
>A way to send him back to his home safely
-
>So you had lied through your teeth to the frightened man turned stallion
-
>He would be returned to his true form
-
>He would be returned to his home
-
>All the while research was undertaken to find a way back you had comforted him
-
>Befriended him, made him laugh and smile inspite of his pain and fear, even as you sabotaged every step of the efforts to return him
-
>Ponies believed you had lost control of the elements after you banished your sister
-
>A belief you never discouraged
-
>The truth was you became selfish
-
>Self serving
-
>Bitter
-
>You took whatever you could to dull the ache of being the sole immortal in Equestria with little regret
-
>But now...
-
>Now you were committing the worst act you had ever done in your life
-
>As you held the sobbing stallion you whispered your false remorse into his ears
-
>As you rubbed his heaving back you gave empty apologies
-
>As he wrapped his wings around you you told him it would okay
-
>As your horns brushed each you rocked him side to side
-
>As he broke down you rejoiced that you would no longer be alone
-
>You couldn't even pretend to feel guilt over your lies and obstruction
-
>A life you once thought denied to you for eternity was in your reach
-
>Even as Anonymous slipped into slumber in your embrace you planned the announcement of Equestria’s first true Prince
-
>He would be yours for eternity
-
>No matter the cost
-
>...Faust forgive you
