As promised, that green;

>How many years did it last?
>The good times, she thought...
>What went wrong?
>Maybe she underestimated something, maybe over?
>The truth is likely somewhere in the middle.
>Somehow, this obvious fact had been overlooked through all of her careful planning, her reunion with her sister, her passing into retirement.
>She thought it was something she would never have to worry about again, that one day even the one she placed the burden on would pass it further.
>A long chain of immortals, beginning with her, stretching forward, and yet...
>Somehow, it seemed fitting that the second link in the chain had, at the last, refused to start it...
>For Princess Celestia had never known friendship. For all of her understanding of the way ponies interacted...
>There was certainly more to it than she could have comprehended from her lofty tower.
>Maybe her student truly had been right to step away, to choose a simpler life.
>Maybe it was wrong to drag her back, in the end.
>A long chain of immortals, ruling and retiring, friends forever. That was the plan.
>The plan that now laid in ashes at her hooves, along with the only equal she'd ever truly known, even counting her Sister.
>She was wrong to only consider her an equal at the end of her plans.
>The Princess' breathing was hitched and uneven. It doesn't matter which one we're referring to here.
>Alicorns do not die easily, least of all to magic, but she'd found a way.
>Celestia, at this stage, dared not try to comprehend what that way was, for fear she might follow from guilt.
>There was nothing more to be done here, but watch the one she raised to be her friend choose the others, no matter how painful.
>Maybe they were more deserving of that.
>Maybe they always were.
>Celestia stepped away, to allow Luna her time to whisper a farewell.
[8:57 AM]
>Stepping out of the room, Celestia was surprised to find the throne room hadn't changed a bit since she left.
>Or if it had that it was back the way it was.
>Twilight always did have an eye for tying up loose ends, at least when it came to leaving things be.
>Celestia knew there was no choice anymore, Twilight had forced her out of retirement.
>Luna would come too. It would be easier that way.
>Princess Celestia slumped in the cold throne that overlooked the court.
>It was going to be a long day.
>After the farewells, the magic claimed her. It was a cold, clammy morning when it happened.
>The end was accompanied by noiseless twinkling from the stars. The sun was not raised that day and neither was the moon.
>Those few immortals that remained gathered and commiserated in the library where the Princess once uncovered the return of Luna so long ago.

I think Twilight becoming an Alicorn was fine.It should have happened much later, and the drop in the quality of writing that ensued is…
