Author's Note
Consider this the sequel:
A few years after Luna's return it seems that Equestria will finally know an era of peace and appears to be on the verge of a new renaissance. Ponies are happy. Luna is recovering. Celestia is miserable.

Is this a decent story, or just a fun experiment? Let me know in the comments. This was an old idea that I'd had lying around for years. I was never convinced it would work, but I finally managed to get myself to draft a few convincing bits. This was an adventure to see how little I could tell a story with, even in contrast to the prequel and more lore-heavy stories I've written from the eras in each segment.
