Chapter 5
Here we are; the present. Dusk lived his life for many years enjoying it every day. But while he grew older and wiser, I grew sicker and weaker. I soon had to leave my cottage, and joined the rest of my friends in a retirement home so the six of us could still be together no matter how old we got. Dusk began to visit more and more, and each time was even more special. He would cook, clean, and look after me like any son would for their mother.
I currently lay here in this bed, a hospital bed unlike the ones my friends lay down in.
"Hey mom," Dusk began, "how are you doing. I brought your favorite salad over, and I had just the spot we could share it at."
"Oh really? Well why don't we go over there and leave the hospital for a bit." I got up happily, as I know that I am becoming too weak and won't be able to spend quality time with him.
He took me over to the forest where my old cottage was, and he flew me down to the spot where we would watch the sun set over the horizon.
"Do you still remember the first times you brought me here mom?" He asked, and I could here the choking of his voice.
"I do. You used to run around, and I would play with you then we would watch the sun set together."
"I wish," he started crying, "we could go back to those moments before you were near death and relive them."
"Dusk, I understand, but my time here in Equestria is coming to a close. I want you to be there, and remember me but don't feel sad when I pass away."
After watching the sunset, he picked me up, and brought me back to the hospital. He laid me down in my bed and he told me: "I'll always love, and care for you until the day I die."
I gasped as I knew these would be my dying words, "I'll always love you too, son."
