Midnight Sparkle





I did this.

It  was the first thought that entered Twilight Sparkle’s head when she  finally retook control of her mind. It was also the next several  thoughts.

I did this.

She was floating inside a  blinding white void, facing a girl with brilliant golden wings, who was  stretching out her hand in an offer of friendship. Let me show you there's another way, she’d said.

What good was that hand to a monster like her?

Twilight  could feel her own wings, mild jolts of pain shooting through her as  they tensed. Dark magic radiated from her body. Tears welled as the  weight of what she’d become sank in deep.

I wanted magic. I wanted to understand. Now look at me.

She’d gotten everything she’d sought. And the bill had been her soul.

Finally, she reached out and took the girl’s hand. It was all she had left.
