Author's Note

The next wall contains the furthest recorded memory of them all; a glimpse into the future at the end of time.

But should you read it? Sometimes, it is better not to know what the future holds.

01 - Through the Ages [2017.12]

“You’re so lucky to be able to live through the ages”, my little ponies said. If only they had known…

I never had the heart to tell them, despite knowing that this endless night would come. For a short period of time, I had some semblance of a hope after witnessing Discord’s magic. It was for that reason that the Elements were ordered to release him from the stony prison. I would not care even if he destroyed the whole of Equestria, as long as he would prevent this final fate of the universe. Alas, not even Discord could oppose the laws of entropy.

The ages went by, the stars twinkled and died one by one. So too did the Equestrian sun. I sit alone in the darkness now, counting the cold ages as they come and go. I envy everypony who passed away so long ago, for I lack the ability to die. I stay forevermore. Forever. Alone.
