Mare In The Everfree Forest

Ending

I was done and feeling too old for this. I had my mane up with my glasses sitting on my muzzle. It's been quite the journey with everything going on. Twilight getting her own castle with the help of the elements. Celestia moved in with her leaving us the main castle in Canterlot. I heard Cadence was preparing for our wedding, but at the moment I didn’t care. As today was something important to me. It was school career day and both twins wanted me over Luna for class. Arcane, however, got her dear mother which wasn’t bad but Lumia had me. I was in my knight commander dress with a replica armor set over it. He wanted me to be dressed as one of my two titles.

I was standing outside the classroom trying to calm myself down. This was the first time ever I had to walk in on a bunch of foals with my armor on. With shaky hooves, I opened the door and tried to sneak in but unlucky for me an Equestrian guard and an Empire guard were both in the room. I sat in the back as they both saluted me as they both grew quiet.

“Private you could continue your speech. I am here on request of my son”

“Yes, knight commander” once he said that the other guard started chuckling.

“Spravajte sa (Behave)”

“Yes, Cleric” I sighed as I rubbed my head a bit thinking this would go over well. I stayed in the back as the others were going first. I could see my son dancing in his seat. fifteen years and he grew up so big. He was already past Jr’s height causing me to smile. I noticed my son was sitting in the corner smiling.

Awww he so cute”

“He is impatient”

“Oh, come now you were all impatient as well” I could feel my eye twitch as this was not the best time for them to go off in my head.

“Mother!”

“Mother you are needed to the front” I snapped to it as I rubbed my head. I got up and walked to the front causing the guards to salute and bow.

“Nie som v praci strazca taky pokojny (I am not at work guard so calm)

“Grandmother is so cool” I could see my granddaughter flapping her wings in the back. I looked at my son who was staring in shock.

“Lumi aren’t you going to introduce me or will I need to get Jr up here?” I smiled causing him to turn and smile. I stayed quiet as he gave his little presentation. I could see the ponies were staring in shock as Lumi went into some details about the fights I was in and how they turned out. I was shifting a bit as the armor was getting heavy since I wasn’t moving. Once he was done school was ending and the class was shocked except for the guards and my granddaughter in the back. I walked the kids back to the castle with Lumi and Acrane both jumping for joy over the presentations they had given. I could only smile at them as Luna was the one going over the questions. I gave them a yawn as it was a taxing day for me. Ever since that damn fight I've been sore ever since. Red and the other family members have been able to help but it just boils down to not being the same. I felt Luna leaning in and kissing me. I kissed her back.

“Tired?”

“Just hate feeling this sore. Mother says it will go away in hundred years” I smiled as I leaned against her. I never thought I would love this feeling of being free. Never worrying about my magic going haywire. Never worrying about the princesses coming after me, and keeping who I am a secret. I do miss some ponies from the past but I know they will be waiting for me. For now, I am just going to live my life and make sure that my family is around to keep the stories and the tales alive.
