Once, long ago, centuries after the deaths of her friends, Twilight traveled back in time to visit them with the intention of saying goodbye. She especially wished to say goodbye to Rarity, whom she had loved with all her heart, and had watched grow old and eventually die.

It did not go as planned. But, from the chaos, came a promise: Rarity would wait for Twilight.

Thousands of years have passed since that day, since the day Rarity promised that, and Twilight shall now see if that promise will be kept.

A fan-made epilogue to Monochromatic's Injuring Eternity because I read it and after all the tears were done, I felt I needed to write a short little thing which with Mono's blessing I am now publishing.

So, I hope you enjoy this Mono! You turned me into a dirty RariTwi Shipper!

Every Nightmare Night a timid little ghost of a long deceased filly comes out to celebrate the holiday which she cherished most when she was alive. Often she kept to the sidelines, never being noticed for hundreds of years. This was until three little fillies, and their group of rag-tag friends, caught her attention.

Tonight, I feel like destroying something beautiful.

Those were the last words spoken to me by my faithful student.

We are the Elements of Harmony. Spirits, we have existed since the beginning of time. We cannot create or destroy. We inhabit the souls of creatures who match our aspects. We will watch as the world rises, and watch as it grows. Eventually, we will be forced to watch the end.

But at least we will always remain strong together, right?

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and 350 years ago, Sweetie Belle and I vanished without a trace.
Now here we are, in the future.
Equestria has become a utopia, with everypony living in peace and harmony.
Everything is perfect. All a pony could ever want, and more.
My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I want to go home.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Things seem to be falling through the cracks lately. Spike thinks I should go see the doctor, but...

Even though the original timeline was corrected, the alternate presents caused by Starlight's thirst for vengeance remain. In the last, Equestria has been reduced to a barren wasteland. Nothing lives among the dust and the dark, except one pony. Twilight Sparkle had failed, failed to defend her land, and in the end was forced to destroy it.

Now she wanders, having done so for the past several hundred years. The nothingness that she created refuses to move forward, held in place by powers far beyond her. All she can do now, is wait...for what could be eternity.

However, could an old enemy be just what she needs, even if neither of them really know why. This is, after all...a result of both their actions.

Centuries after most of her friends have all passed away, Twilight decides to make one last trip into the past. No interacting, no greeting deceased friends, no reunion with her beloved marefriend. Just one quick glance at a life long lost.

However, for better or worse, she'll end up getting much, much more than that.

This story has a prequel entitled The Last Train Home.
