Author's Note

Congratulations! You made it to possibly the most broken logic chapter there is! I’ve been reading through, trying to figure out what the hell even happened, and I think I remember why this came to be.

So, if I remember right, I think AJ straight up disappears because ORIGINALLY, I think I had her bleed out from the tunnel incident. I also think I planned on doing something different with Rarity’s death too, which would explain the gap from the previous chapter. I just never got around to finishing this major edit.

What I was planning to do with a living AJ and Rarity? I don’t remember, but that has to be why the logic is so broken. It was probably one of the last changes I was working on before I stopped working on this book.

As for Snow, I have no idea. Maybe I forgot? Way to go, teenage me. Maybe make the characters unique so you can remember them? XD

Sunfall

We walked on after Twi had an intense talk with Spike. It took him a lot of courage to say goodbye to Rarity. But now we were back to walking.

It was only Twi, Dash, Spike, Snow, the guards, and me. Only two of the mane six were left, and I would fight hard to keep them safe.

"Who was supposed to be on watch?" asked Twi. It was silent until Dash spoke out. "I w-" she started.

"It was me. I was caught off-guard. I accidentally fell asleep," the less buff guard, whose name was Blaze, admitted to it.

"But I-" Dash started.

"Yes, I know. I was supposed to let you have the next watch, but I fell asleep before I could, okay?"

"I was-"

"It wasn't your fault!" he yelled. She stepped back.

"It's okay. We forgive you. Everything will be fine, right? Celestia can bring everypony back," Twi said.

"Yes. She'll be able to," I added. Hopefully.

The sun was high in the sky after we ate our lunch. It was very quiet as we ate. It wasn't exactly a feast, but it fed us.

We walked alongside the tracks silently despite the crunching of pebbles and grass. The terrain was changing and we could see Canterlot a ways away. It made us pick up our pace. I walked behind the others and kept our backs clear.

Suddenly, the sun seemed brighter. The track shimmered brightly and the temperature seemed to rise. I shielded my eyes as I looked up to the sky. The sun was flopping around its position, growing larger and then getting smaller randomly.

Before any of us could speak of it, it grew small and fell quickly over the horizon. Within seconds, the sun was gone and Equestria was dark. The temperature dropped significantly in just moments. There was an extremely loud burst of an explosion that threw all of us out of balance and shook trees violently for half a minute.

After the wind settled and the moon rose quickly in the sky with force, I turned to Twi.

"What the hell was that? Did the sun just crash into the world?" I asked.

"Impossible. The world wouldn't be here if that happened ..." Twi answered.

"Do you think Celestia's alright?" Snow asked Twi.

"I don't know. The sun falling isn't a good sign, obviously. But hopefully Luna can leave it to kinetic energy to keep the cycle going."

"Let's hurry anyways," Dash insisted.

"Right," Twi agreed.
