//------------------------------// // E: And There Upon the Hill... // Story: SIX walk IN // by KitsuneRisu //------------------------------// Epilogue -And There Upon the Hill Rested The House There is a tale of six ponies who walked into a house one day; a tale that they all tell in Ponyville; A tale of things that happened oh so very long ago. A tale about six who walked in one day to meet something that they did not expect. And a tale of one who walked back out. A pony who wore a curious expression. A pony who carried a heavy weight. This was a tale of a pony who stood at the crossroads between safety and danger. Between hope and despair. Between life and death. To the left of her was a path that rode through the sunbeams and the leaf-scattered dales that held the warmth of home. To her right was a path that led deep into the heart of the forests that leeched the life out of all things and beheld dangers that no pony ever wished to face. And this is a tale of the pony who stood there for a very long time, thinking about things, musing about life, wondering about existence. And this is a tale of the pony who turned right. And walked. A long walk. A brazen walk. A walk consciously chosen. Some say she hoped to find what she had lost in the forests deep. Some say she wished to rejoin her friends in the only way she knew how. Some say she had been waiting so long that she had given up on everything else. Some say she just got lost. But whatever the reason, the story ends and begins with the six who walked in. And the one who walked out, with a smile on her face. The End
