Amore stared at the page. At the sheer breadth of possibilities it offered her.

What was a princess to do? What should be her duty, in such unprecedented circumstances?

Could she trust herself with such power? After Fate had already shown her just how undiscerning she could be with Sombra?

If Fizzy had been truthful that her ponies were doing fine without her…

“No…” Amore let out at last, looking at her young friend. “My time has passed. I tried to be the best princess I could be, and it wasn't enough. I don't know this new princess yet, but I doubt the Royal Sisters would have let just anypony take the crown. Do you know of her, Frizzy?”

The kirin shrugged. “Kinda? She’s Cadance, the Princess of Love.”

Love, then? Appropriate, Amore thought with a slight, bittersweet smile. She would look forward to meeting her someday, when she’d be sure her reappearance wouldn’t cause some political fallout in the Empire.

She glanced at the page again. She could… erase that last line, make sure the course of Fate was fully restored, as far as she was concerned. Condemn herself back to the dark oblivion.

Maybe a stronger pony might have managed it.

Not as much of a princess as she could’ve hoped to be, indeed…

Amore folded the page and levitated it to the kirin.

“Are you sure..?” asked Fizzy, tucking the page away.

“Quite so,” the unicorn nodded. “There is clearly more happening that I do not understand yet, but I still wish to do my part. Hopefully, Fate will guide our hooves toward those who need our help, like you helped me. Come on then my friend, onward!”
