//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Scourge of Twilight // by UnintentionalFan //------------------------------// "Anything yet?" Celestia asked Twilight's friends as they each came back from searching. They all shook their heads. As soon as twilight hit, Celestia ordered that everypony begin searching outside of Equestria for Twilight. So far, nopony was having any luck. The search went on for several minutes, until one pony came shouting from behind some rubble. "Princess Celestia! Princess Celestia!" the stallion shouted. "You have to come see this!" Celestia beckoned hopefully at the other five who were with her, and they all chased after the stallion. Most everypony else came as well. They were lead to a clear area well away from the battle. Celestia recognized it as the last place she had seen Scourge before leaving. It looked as though a massive explosion had occurred, as the entire ground was covered with black streaks that radiated from one point. The stallion moved to the side, and everypony gasped. Celestia gaped at what she saw, and felt the sadness welling up inside of her. The five pony friends all gathered around and bowed their heads. Tears flowed from all of them, and many behind them wept loudly as well. Celestia looked to the sky as the last bits of light faded. "Twilight's end..." she said, almost absently. She rested her eyes back on the ground before her where everypony saw what was left of the battle. Standing tall and strong was a lone flower, with six thin purple-pink petals spread out in a star shape.
