	Rainbow Dash rested on a hospital bed in Ponyville, too tired and hurting to fly to her home that floated above the town.  The events of the last few days had taxed her mind and body in a way nopony had ever experienced before.  The doctor told her that she and her friends should be dead, but at least they were safe.  All four of them were staying in the same room at Twilight’s request, and would be resting in the hospital for a full week.  But they were safe now, and would continue to be as well.
The only thing occupying Dash’s mind was the desire for relaxation.  Although, there was one thing that was bugging her,  why did that pony need her?  Wouldn’t anypony else have suited him, a pony who would’ve gone down with less of a fight?  Other similar questions nagged at the back of the other ponies minds as well, like just what was this Blade of Suran’Dal?  There was hardly any mention to a magical sword in Twilight’s research.  It had been sent to Canterlot for study after they had returned to Ponyville.  But those questions would have to wait for another time.  And for now, the ponies had to rest.
