After a tiring day of bureaucracy, Celestia enjoys some quiet time to herself before a hearty fire. Dancing in those flames is a memory, one of a distant past, where two young mares would watch their world change, and themselves, for the better.
Cel and Lune would suffer greatly, but start something beautiful.

This was originally a PANIC! contest entry from 9/4/2020 in the Quills and Sofa's Speed Writing Server, with the subject being Sentimental Journey. It placed 3rd, which was nice. I cleaned it up some, polished a few words, and added another hundred or so for some context. It will be marked complete, but there's a good chance I might add a couple additional chapters as time goes on, however as it stands it's well enough alone.
