There are a ton of mistakes on this page, but I wanted to just get it up. I'll probably fix it another time.

The purpose of this story is mostly to inform Luna's character. There are obvious parallels to what we know of her story, but also subtle indications of where I want to take the story.

Let me know what you think!

It's like the friggin' Lorax! "And he lifted himself by the seat of his pants..."

I always liked that story, although I preferred Roald Dahl to Dr. Seuss.

Maybe it's what happened in this version of Equestria. Maybe it's just a story Star Swirl made up. Maybe it's a clue into the nature of the universe, or maybe it's a clue into who Luna and Celestia are.

I love these kinds of stories that have little stories inside of them ^^,hard for me to pull off since I always get distracted by second guessing myself Anyways,sweet story you got here and as I continue,there's definitely improvement in art style but the cuteness factor of little Luna almost passed diabetes level sweetness a few pages ago and probably even further ahead

All stories are true, especially the fictional ones. But just because they're true doesn't mean they are facts.

ThousandYearSunrise In reply to BrokenGrayHeart [2012-08-30 04:38:54 +0000 UTC]

Star Swirl wrote it.
He drew inspiration from old folk tales about why things are as they are, adding in the classic trope of an immortal being wandering the world on an endless quest to give it greater emotional punch.

Shiva491 In reply to ThousandYearSunrise [2012-09-28 21:22:16 +0000 UTC]

Might want to make that a bit clearer, perhaps in the author's note. Given that you're dealing with events in a time of very vague canonicity, people might easily take this to be your idea of what was actually happening, which may confuse them later.

daughterofbastet In reply to Shiva491 [2012-10-02 20:08:03 +0000 UTC]

I agree. I thought Star Swirl was actually telling Luna about real mythology in their world. It's lovely, of course, but if I hadn't read the comments I would probably have been confused later on, as Shiva491 said.

Great new entry to the comic. Now I'd better watch something else; between this and my campaign, all this HNNNNGGG can't be good for my oversized heart.
