Epilogue


3 years after the Return of Luna



Luna and Celestia sat on the balcony of the tallest tower in Canterlot. A gentle breeze waved through the sisters’ manes. The stars above twinkled as Luna was stared at the moon. She was remembering the night, over 1000 years ago, when she’d mercilessly killed the stallion who had professed his love for her. The memory was still fresh in her mind, despite its age, and it tortured her. She turned to Celestia.

“Sister?” she said, addressing Celestia.

“Yes?” Celestia asked.

“I can’t… I can’t stop thinking about it. What happened that night...”

Celestia did not have to ask what her sister meant. She too had been thinking about it. It had never left her mind, but now it had returned to the fore.

“It wasn’t your fault.” she said, attempting to console her younger sister. “You were not yourself that night.”

“That does not excuse my actions. What I did… there is no excuse.” Luna looked down at her hooves. “I wish I could have told him. Told him I was sorry. Told him…” Tears gathered in her eyes, but they did not fall. “Told him that I loved him too.”

“Do you not still?” asked Celestia.

Luna thought carefully on this. Then she spoke. “I… I did, once. I am sure I did, but now… it’s been so long. I want to love him. To tell him I’m sorry.” She looked up at her older sister. “What do I do?”

Celestia smiled sadly. “I do not know.”

The Doctor sat on the floor by Tardis's doors. They were open, and he was staring out at the stars. Close by, a bright yellow sun hung shining in the black void. He was crying silently, his eyes flitting from star to star. Behind him, the Tardis's consoles flickered, and the engine pillar moved silently up and down.

"I'm a coward." he said quietly, shifting his gaze down. "I told him my name, but I couldn't even tell him the truth."

He returned his gaze to the glimmering stars. After a while, he stood. He closed the doors, and walked over to the control panels. He flipped a few switches, then pulled a lever. The Tardis whooshed, propelling them through space and time. The Doctor sat, and glanced back over at the doors.

"I will be back." he whispered. "I will."

He thought of her
Gazing upwards
With stars in his eyes
With stars in his eyes

He wished to return
Feeling great pain
With love in his heart
With love in his heart

He missed her light
Remembering her eyes
Blue gems in the light
Blue gems in the light

He reached for her hand
Wanting her to love him
With the sun in his chest
With the sun in his chest

She fades from view
And his heart breaks
With fire in his tears
With fire in his tears

He calls out her name
And no one replies
With silence in the dark
With silence in the dark

The tears fall from his eyes
Sparkling diamonds in the night
The silver moon shines
The silver moon shines

He cries out his pain
Echoless in the light
Though a dark shadow surrounds
Though a dark shadow surrounds

The shadow consumes
The starlight dims
Though unextinguished remains
Though unextinguished remains

In anguish he cries
His heart rent in two
And shadows surround
And shadows surround

The starlight remains
Glowing deep in his heart
And rekindling awaits
And rekindling awaits

Though shadow holds
And darkness falls
The light will prevail
The light will prevail

In time he reawakes
His love reignites
And fierce starfire blazes
And fierce starfire blazes

The starfire consumes
The dark shadows flee
And night is broken
And night is broken

The shadows are gone
And the light is free
And there are stars in his eyes
And there are stars in his eyes

Though first love is gone
Her passion faded by years
A new hope awaits
A new hope awaits

His heart shall be re-forged
Her voice will be the frame
And the starfire will grow
And the starfire will grow

Through darkness he will fight
Her heart she might give
Anew the star can burn
Anew the star can burn

The end is unknown
Hard times lie ahead
Through the shadows
Through the shadows

His end is not yet
Twelve lives yet await
With stars in his eyes
With stars in his eyes
