[ Tiny Short-Story inspired by ROBCakeran53's - Wasteland Future!]
The final moments are at hoof, and Princess Celestia ventures forth with the Elements of Harmony to stop a dire foe once and for all. However, knowing that the end draws near, the Princess of the Sun has one final question. Why?

Twilight is corrupted by exposure to dark magic, and Celestia traps her in an extra-dimensional space called 'The Light Prison.' The Seam is a tear in space that is the exit to the Light Prison, but is usually invisible because the only thing that exists there is light.

A short story I wrote in late 2012 to accompany this piece of art I made. Yes, I drew the cover art. You can find it on my dA page here -- im-not-sue. Also featured on EqD drawfriends 653, #41.

This inspired me a little, when coloring -- link
It would be appropriate listening music, I think.

This story is a sequel to They're Gone

I was always there. In tough times, in happy times, I was always there. Now they're gone, and now... you're gone.

A side story to JackRippers: They're Gone telling the tale of Twilight's faithful assistant.

They're gone... and they're never coming back.

It was a spontaneous decision, one that I regret every waking moment. At the time, when I had to choose between my friends and all the alicorn magic in Equestria, I didn't answer the question fast enough.

They're dead now, and the worst part? I won.

After an aging Rainbow Dash’s Wonderbolts show ends in tragedy, Twilight has to close her affairs.

With thanks to Lord of Dorkness for pre-reading.

Finalist in the July Write-Off event, 'Best Laid Plans'.

Request by ShadowPony300: “What about twilight sacrifice herself when queen chrysalis and the other two villains came through the castle doors with a big explosion.”

pyrrhic: adjective, (of a victory) won at too great a cost to have been worthwhile for the victor.

Twilight Sparkle isn't about to abandon her friends to the whims of three horrible villains. She just needs a solution. Unfortunately the only solution she can think of is rather dangerous.

Tirek has won, and Twilight's friends are gone. She and the other princesses have just one chance left. Maybe if one of them can go back, she can warn them right when he escapes and stop this all from happening.

It might be a long shot, but it's the only chance they have left.

For most foals, a magical surge results in a couple hours of frantic searching. For Twilight Sparkle, a magical surge vaporised an entire Canterlot block and killed hundreds. Having spent the last ten years as a fugitive running from the law, she is tired of her life and all she desires is for the nightmare to end. With one last night before she turns herself in, she spends it with her one and only friend - Trixie.

Proof-read and editted by Sabre and Some Person (Thanks!)

This is the moment that she has been waiting years for.

After all this time, Equestria's new ruler pays a visit to her most valuable prisoner to fully map out her failure. Years of deception, manipulation, and betrayals have led to this one moment, and she intends to savor every look that crosses the Princess of Friendship's face.

And after, when the alicorn truly understands how perfectly she was played, there will still be one final bit of business that needs to be settled...

My first new story since October 2017, and Day One of the Seventh Anniversary Story Bomb.

Twilight had a nightmare last night but can't seem to remember it. All she knows is that its a perfectly normal morning and she should be enjoying it.

So why can't she?
