The damage done by the demons had been repaired, and the corpses disposed of. The ponies killed during the invasion were mourned, and life returned to normal, for the most part. However, the psychological effects still deeply impacted the population. They still had peaceful lives, but they occasionally had mild flashbacks to the destruction the demons brought in the very brief time they were there. Some, like Spike, didn't even see the demons themselves, and only found out about it later. Grimm did stay in Hell as he planned, living off of the food that the princesses courteously sent him daily. Celestia and Twilight both kept in touch with the marine with magic letters, meant to return to the princess upon being burnt by any common fire.
