Everlight

This is Everlight from the very first commission I have ever done which was made for sparky416 [link] and his Fallout: Equestria roleplay over at Cloudsdale.org

Drawing Everlight's hair and tail was pretty hard, but I nailed it after a couple of tries. All in all, she was pretty easy considering she isn't wearing anything like the others.

Description from the character author:

*Celestia and Luna called upon the other alicorns living under their rule to help them fighting against the unknown enemy... In a desperate attempt to create something against the megaspells they asked a team of alicorns to research ancient magic that uses the magic power of several beings into one focused magic spell... Everlight Helios was the leader of this team, a kind and honourful Alicorn working on a way to help as much ponies as possible...
They actually found a way to combine the powers of the alicorns into on spell... A spell that could fix everything, end the war, heal the wounded, some say it could even bring back the dead... The team of alicorns gathered on a secluded location, the spell would have taken a long time to complete, the team of alicorns focused on the magical spell, combining their powers, ready to cast the spell when the preparations were done... But before they could complete the spell... A megaspell exploded in their neighboorhood, quite close enough to blast away and kill every Alicorn involved... But... Well, maybe it was a miracle... Maybe it was just pure magic... Maybe a bit of dumb luck was involved... But somehow, the magic power gathered kept glowing, as if it was alive, waiting for somepony to make use of it... One alicorn just barely survived the blast, her whole body ripped apart, but she saw the magic power still gathered in the middle of their spell... With a final living effort she managed to move herself towards the magic orb of power, she didn't know what she could do with it, she was dying but she wanted to live on... Her body was unusable, even the amount of magic left couldn't save her anymore... With her last breath, she managed to touch the orb of magic, saying 'I just don't want to die right now... We were so close...' and as if the orb of magic heard her final plea, the magic enveloped Everlight Helios with a bright light, her body and mind absorbed by it, containing her whole essence within the magic power... A light as bright as the sun was seen for a couple of moments before it shimmered back down to a soft glow, revealing a etheral represantation of Everlight lying in the center where just a few moments ago the magic power floated... The spirit woke up slowly with a daze, looking around her 'I'm... I'm alive...?' She spoke with a strange multitude of voices, the most clear her own one... A soft and gentle mix-voice continued 'Or... Am I? What happened?' She finally looks at herself and sees that her whole body is transparent, etheral and constantly shapeshifting like a fire... 'Did... Did the magic do this?' She sighs deeply and stands herself up, her body feeling as light as a feather, almost as if she can fly without even using her wings... She tries to do so by jumping with a little power... Her jump makes her fly up several hundred feet, she quickly tries to open her wings to slow herself down, only making her fly lightning fast back to the ground, she enters the ground while screaming 'WHOOAAAA!' She uses her wings gently to come back up the ground and manages to keep herself a float by carefully moving her wings like the wind 'Okay, okay, that's better... I really need to practice this I guess... But let's first check how fast I can go like this...' She moves her wings to speed forwards, she propels forward like lightning, flying over miles of land in a matter of seconds, she keeps speeding forward and only after 5 minutes she finds herself back where she begun, having flown a circle around the world in just 5 minutes... 'Well... At least that's a plus... I can fly wherever I want in seconds...' She concentrates her magic a bit to see what's up with that, she instantly notices that she can feel... Everypony... Like she's a part of the world... Noticing and feeling the living beings walking around on this world... 'Is this... What magic really is...? A usable presence in the world...? Am I... Magic now...? What... Am I...?' She tries to use some magic to do some simple spells like levitation and such, but fails soon after... 'It seems magic needs a conductor to actually work... And since I AM magic now... I won't be able to use it...' She sighs deeply as she realizes she needs to practice and accept the fact that she is now... Nothing but a spirit... A spirit wondering the world...

Time passes by, Everlight trying to make contact with ponies, but they flee in fear when they catch a glimp of her, thinking she is an evil spirit, trying to eat them or some other thing... Soon a rumor is heard around the wasteland, telling of the alicorn spirit... Creating stories for little foals to get to sleep, making older ponies shiver in fear of the supposed spirit of vengeance... And all this time Everlight tries to find somepony who could complete her spell, complete the objective she was ordered to by the long lost Princess of the Sun... As time passed by she noticed that all the other Alicorns in Equestria and the world vanished... Either killed in the war, by the megaspells or just plain vanished, never to be heard from again... It seemed to Everlight that ponies were not used to Alicorns anymore since they all went away, maybe that's why the ponies were scared of her... She wished she knew how to make clear that she doesn't mean any harm, but everytime she tries to come close to anypony they just scream and run away...

After what seems like centuries of exploring and looking around for ponies that can help her, she slowly get depressed and unfaithful in the ponies that live on this world... Eventually she just roams the world, not looking for anything, given up hope to ever find anypony who can help her... With her powers she can feel everypony alive and kicking, sleeping at night, living at day, some ponies falling in love, others... Killing each other mercilessly... She can feel every living thing and their basic pony emotions, but she doesn't really experience them as vividly as she did in the beginning, only noticing a few spikes in emotions in heavy fights or a sad happening... But one thing she did notice in all those years wondering the wastelands as a restless spirit... A pony... Sleeping... Well, not exactly sleeping, more like almost in a crio-stasis, both his body and his mind at rest...
Over the years, every once in a while she would go and look at the resting pony... She would notice the time capsule he was in, wondering when he would wake up... Maybe this pony wouldn't be afraid of her, maybe this was her one chance to make everything right again... With her powers she keeps an etheral eye on the pony as she keeps on roaming the wastelands, still trying to find anypony who isn't scared of her...

After what seems like an eternity she finally notices the little sleeping pony waking up... She quickly goes towards his location but keeps her distance, her unnoticable for the little pony until she notices he has woken up completely, wondering what happened over the years he has slept...*
