Celestia did eventually learn the truth of my assault on the griffons. “We are not angry, merely disappointed,” she said. Hades take her disappointment; Tartarus has her enemies and my anger rests on the battlefield. She is too proud to admit that victory was won not with heroic charges against a superior force or by soldiers in that imbecilic golden armor, but by a princess who regarded the safety of her ponies above even her own morality.

When the battle was put to song, it was the shields of the day before the walls of a mighty fortress, not the fangs of the night in a griffon aerie. Celestia stood as the hero in the light while we were only the villain in her shadow.
