Prologue 
I felt the cold hard steel pressing into my back.  As it slid inch by inch I felt the cool kiss sever arteries, veins, and even my own heart.  The aim had been true to the mark, but I could expect nothing less of her now.  I felt her slide the blade out of my back, and the blood as it almost immediately began to pulsate out of my wound.  Suddenly, I had no strength and it was all I could do to roll myself onto my back as I collapsed onto the ground.

I was staring up now, staring up at one of my best friends, Rainbow Dash, holding the blood covered sword in her mouth.  The tears ran down her face in droves only to be caught by the hood of her cloak.  The sword cluttered to the ground, a cacophony of metal rung through my ears.  I knew I was going to die, so why was it that I could only smile at her?  Why wasn’t I angry, or scared, or nervous?

“Twilight, I’m soo sorry.  If only you hadn’t seen me with the mayor.  Then none of this would have had to happen,”  I knew at the moment those words left her mouth why I was happy instead of anything else.  It was because I was looking at Rainbow Dash.  She wasn’t some horrible killer like I had been terrified she was.  Instead, she was still the same pony I had always known; Maybe a little misguided, but she was still the wonderfully arrogant and loyal Rainbow Dash.

As my last breaths leave my body I pray my final wishes reach Princess Celestia.  Please don’t be angry with Rainbow Dash.  It was never her fault, nor do I think she ever had a choice.  This is how she was raised and I’m sure that, given time and patience, she would gladly take another path.  I don’t regret knowing her, and I don’t regret being her friend.  So, please Princess, please let her live and learn another path.

My eyes closed upon the kingdom of Equestria, that I loved so much, for the very last time.
