As the ship got to the nearest harbor, everypony made their way towards Canterlot, and Fluchuette said, "The ceremonies are being held in the grasslands, in front of Canterlot, we should all make our way there." 
Everypony nodded, but Rainbow Dash said, "We need to bury Silver Sky first, we owe him that."
Fluchuette nodded, and said, "That's true, fair enough. Alright, me and the rest of the allies, will make our way to the ceremony, and let everypony there know, it is only right that we all hold Silver Sky's memorial burial together." Everypony nodded, as Fluchuette and the allies made their to the ceremony, Snowshy and the others went another way.
Hours passed, and then Darkness said, "I have the perfect place in mind for Silver Sky."
Rarity asked, "Where might that be?"
Darkness replied, "Neighagra Falls."
Snowshy nodded in agreement, and said, "I think Silver Sky would like that."
Everypony agreed, and they made their way towards Neighagra Falls, and they could see the allies and everypony else, had seen Snowshy and the others, and were heading their way.
Several hours passed, and Silver Sky was buried in the ground in front of a beautiful lake, with a gorgeous waterfall behind the lake, as everypony came to pay their respects, and right beside Silver Sky's grave, was a large memorial headstone, with the names of all those that died as Princess Celestia got in front of everypony and then said, "Today, we have the opportunity to see another day, another new dawn, but many have died, to achieve this. The cost for our victory is great, and we have lost many lives, homes, dear friends, family, and loved ones as well." Princess Celestia paused for a moment, and then said, "At least half of our world, now lies in a smoldering fiery ruin, but know this, everypony! For everything that is destroyed, can be rebuilt! We cannot get back those we lost, but as long as some of us survive, we can see through the darkest days!"
Everypony cheered, and then they all quieted down, as Princess Celestia said, "Today's victory was hard-won, let us never forget those who laid down their lives for us to see this day through. But today is also a day we pay our respects, and honor somepony that was with Snowshy, Darkness, Violet Winter, Solar Blaze, Twilight, and her friends, all the way, until the very end, where he put his life on the line, to make sure that everypony I just mentioned, was safe, and were able to put an end to Arrovak. The pony I speak of, is Silver Sky, and because of what he did, Arrovak was able to be defeated, and we now live, because of his brave sacrifice to protect his friends. Today, we honor and respect Silver Sky, may he go down in history, and always be remembered on this day, so we never forget what he did, or anypony else, for that matter. For everypony that wishes to pay their respects, you may do so now."
Princess Celestia nodded in respect to everypony, and went off to the side, as everypony came to pay their respects to Silver Sky, and also paid their respects to all those that died as well. As everypony finished, Princess Luna got in front of everypony, and said, "Thank you all, for taking the time, to respect those that made the ultimate sacrifice, to make sure we all see the dawn and the night once more, let us never forget what they have done for us, for we can never repay them, for what they have done." Princess Luna took a breath, and said, "Now, if you all want to, head to the grasslands, in front of Canterlot, for the celebrational ceremonies."
Everypony nodded, and began to make their way towards the place that Princess Luna had mentioned, as one after another, as they paid one last respect to the dead on their way out.
The next day, after the celebration ceremony was over, Darkness got together everypony, located in the same place as the ceremony was held yesterday, as the sun shone brightly, and also a settlement was being built, and a rather large castle was under construction, as he said, "On this day, marks another historical moment, that has not been seen in thousands of years."
Darkness stopped talking, as Snowshy walked up to Darkness, and she was clothed in royal sorcerer pony attire, all which had the color of her mane and her eyes in it, and made her way to the throne chair, and sat down, as Darkness went behind the chair, with a beautifully-crafted crown in his hooves. The crown was a very pretty silver, with seven flawlessly shaped sapphires spread all along the crown. Darkness then said, "On this day, as the Gods Of Equestria have chosen a new ruler over the sorcerer pony race, although there may not be a whole lot of us now, one day, they will be numerous, and I myself, can think of nopony better suited to this honor." Darkness took a breath, and raised the crown high above Snowshy's head, and then said, "By the power invested in me, and by the approval of the sorcerer ponies that live right now, and by the approval and will of the Gods Of Equestria, I hereby crown, Snowshy, The first, queen and ruler of the sorcerer pony race and nation! May all of her days be blessed."
Darkness then placed the crown on Snowshy's head, and went away from the throne chair and joined the crowd alongside Princess Luna, as the two hugged each other tightly, and then looked forward, as everypony cheered. Snowshy got up from the throne chair, and said, "I humbly thank you all, and this is a great honor, I shall never forget. I promise to you all, I will see to it, that the boundaries that separate and divide our races, I will break. And I will see what used to be one of the greatest places of trade, to return once more! I want every race to feel welcome, and at ease, with my kind, and our kingdom!"
Everypony cheered even louder, and then quieted down, as Snowshy sat back down on the throne chair, and Princess Celestia got in front of everypony, and said, "I just wanted to say, I for one, look forward to all our races, in harmony with the sorcerer pony race, and I have a gift for the queen of the sorcerer ponies, in commemoration of this day, and a sign that my kingdom, Canterlot wishes friendship with the sorcerer pony kingdom, I give to you Snowshy, a personal treasure of mine, a hoof-held statue of a silver seraph, may we all flourish together, as rulers."
Snowshy said, "I humbly thank you Princess Celestia. Although I did not expect to receive anything on this day, everypony's friendship, was good enough for me."
Princess Celestia nodded, smiled and said, "I know, but I still wanted to, all Canterlot just didn't feel right, if we didn't give you something on this day, plus, we wanted to show how grateful we all are, for everything you've done for this world, and what you plan to do, to unite all kingdoms."
Snowshy nodded, and said, "Thank you, Princess Celestia, I shall do my best."
Princess Celestia said, "In the end, that's all we can ever ask for."
Princess Celestia then backed away, as Princess Luna came forward, and stopped in front of Snowshy, and said, "I know that you don't want anything, but I too, on behalf on the kingdom of night, we give you one of our most precious treasures, The Moonlight Crystal. This very crystal has absorbed and bathed in the moonlight, that it shimmers, and shines with all the beauty the night offers."
Snowshy took the crystal, and said, "Princess Luna, I thank you so much, I will take good care of it, I will always cherish this."
Princess Luna said, "And I have no doubt you will."
Princess Luna then backed away, and went back over to Darkness, as Snowshy got up, and stood in front of everypony and said, "I am not one for speeches, so bear with me here: I remember how my life started, and the struggles that not only I faced, but my brother as well. Our kind, back then, was hated so much, this world wanted to see us extinct, and honestly, after the horrible crimes our ancestors had committed, I didn't blame them. At the same time, I knew I wasn't like our ancestors, and neither was my brother. So I ask this of all of you: when my race begins to grow in number, open your hearts, put the past away, and realize that not all sorcerer ponies are bad, there are good ones among us. I mean, look at me and my brother, we have together have put our very lives on the line, for the sake of the world, and a tomorrow, more times than I can count. Of course, I'm not saying forget the past, no, that's not what I mean, I am just saying, that when there are more of me and brother's kind, just remember what we have done. Remember how we are, and keep an open mind and heart for those that will come into this world in the future someday."
Snowshy stood still, as she looked around the crowd, and what she saw brought her to joyful tears, as everypony rejoiced in the idea, and everything Snowshy had said, as they all said in unison, "LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! LONG LIVE SNOWSHY! MAY PEACE RESONATE WITH ALL RACES SOMEDAY!"
As the crowd quieted down, Snowshy said, "I truly thank you all, and know that you all and those that you bring with you, will always be welcome, in the kingdom of the sorcerer ponies."
Snowshy bowed, and went to go aid those that were working on various building projects, as everypony began to go back their homes, all of them full of hope and joy for the future ahead. The last ones to leave, were Twilight, her friends, the princesses, Darkness, Violet Winter, and Solar Blaze, as they all walked alongside each other, as Princess Celestia said, "I want to invite you all to a party at my castle, but first, Darkness? I have a question, I got word, from one of my agents that acts on my behalf, and resides in the Lunar Ebony kingdom, that Lunar Ebony Blade, has been killed....assassinated, is more of what I heard. Is there any truth to this?"
Darkness nodded, and replied, "Your residing agent is not wrong. Yes, Lunar Ebony Blade has been assassinated, I saw the whole thing unfold, when I wasn't allowed to interfere in the early stages of the war. Lunar Ebony Blade's ponies, wanted so bad to fight alongside us all, and do their part, to make sure this world remained safe. But when Lunar Ebony Blade, sent back that letter saying rather harshly that he would not be helping in any way, his inner circle of high society, caught wind of this, and plotted to kill him, that night. They used an old trick, but it worked, they poisoned his entire food table, and all of his drinks, and the thing was, they used a poison, that had no odor, but they used the most potent poison they could find.  It was so potent, a single drop, would kill anypony, in five seconds, easy. They dumped glasses full of the stuff. So, let's just say, Lunar Ebony Blade was dead instantly the minute the food touched his tongue."
Princess Luna then asked, "I see, so have they figured out who will be the next ruler?"
Darkness nodded, and said, "They did two days after Lunar Ebony Blade was assassinated, and they didn't bury his body, no, they burned it, and threw his ashes into a bonfire. Anyways, the next ruler, is now what used to be the general of the armies, but she is a kind, helpful pony, who would do anything to let peace and harmony ring throughout the kingdom."
Princess Celestia said, "I'll have to pay my respects to new ruler, after the party." She then looked at everypony, and said, "Are you all coming?"
