Epilogue:
The native Diamond Tiara of this universe (the Diamond Tiara from a timeline 1000 years in the future had thankfully left, lessening the chaos), sat on a cliff overlooking Ponyville in the Everfree Forest.
She held a video tape, a copy of CMC's entire quest through Everfree Forest.
"All's well that ends well." The filly said to Discord.
'So it would seem.'
Behind them... was a statue of Nyarlathotrot's original avatar, covered in moss and showing its age, reaching out as if to shake somepony's hoof.
'Well, what's this kind of story without one last mystery for the reader to ponder over?'
"Maybe a sense of conclusion?" Another Diamond Tiara asked in a cold voice. Wings like a vulture folded on her back, and a horn on her forehead, and the slit eyes of a dragon.
The Native Diamond Tiara seems that surprised or alarmed seeing her Nightmare self. "You can let the audience know that the characters' lives will continue, even if the story itself had run its course. It's let their imagination wander."
"It's just leaves open for more trouble down the line, stories are conflict, and conflict is trouble."
"... Life is change and challenge."
'Here here!'
"No big speech? No derisive remark?"
"Thank you for... saving Sweetie Belle from the wolf."
"You're welcome."
"Here, enjoy a free copy." The native Yokai Diamond Tiara tossed the Nightmare Diamond Tiara the video tape.
"So that's it?"
"That's it."
"Here's a truth nopony wants to face: there are ponies who SHOUDN'T get happy endings. And there are villains who should be just put down."
"... Don't be so hard on yourself."
"There's no such thing as 'too hard' for me."
"You can't blame yourself for everything."
"'The devil made me do it' hasn't been an acceptable excuse since time began."
"Thinking your beyond saving is just an excuse too."
"If every road, every decision, every choice, ends with 'worked out in the end', then what was the point of making them?"
"... "
"Thanks for the video tape Diamond Tiara."
"You're welcome Diamond Tiara."
"Don't call me that."
"You shouldn't make threats like that."
"It wasn't a threat, it was a request."
"Okay. What are you going to do now?"
"I have some last business to take care of nowhere else... before my story is finished, and it should have been finished a long time ago."
"As long as a story is enjoyed, and feels inspiring,does it matter how or short it is?"
"It does if the creator himself begin to feel weary of it all. Thank you helping create these, I'm sure they'll be interesting. We won't meet again."
The Nightmare Diamond Tiara opened a portal, entered, and was gone.
Continued in the pony pov series... stayed tuned.

It was just another day in Ponyville... after Apple Jack and Bubble Berry were now Alicorn "Princes" (there had been no coronation), and that was just the tip of the ice berg.
The new Alicorn colt, Apple Buck (also, no coronation yet), was in Dusk Shine's library listening to his magic lessons... went a minecart burst through the barrier. Inside, were filly versions of himself, his friends, and a boy dragon version of Barb and Joystick.
"Hi Apple Buck!" Girl him waved.
"Hi Applebloom!" He waved back."You're back!"
"Of course! We promised we would be!" She took out some game books. "Wanna try some Oubliettes and Ogres?"
"SURE! Let go get my friends!"
