//------------------------------// // Returning and Fixing up // Story: To Lose A Friend // by BumbleFlow //------------------------------// Wizzle Piff and Paper Quill returned to the kingdom, seeing it destroyed and torn apart was quite a shock to Paper Quill. Forgetting took a toll on her, she looks to Wizzle Piff and says, " W-what.. Happened? " She said then looking back down at the kingdom. Tears in her eyes. " While you were... 'gone' the kingdom was taken over by Dark Spectre.. The one that we just.. Killed. " Paper Quill turns her head to Wizzle Piff, and tears flow down her cheeks, " Why would he.. Do such a thing? " Wizzle Piff hugs her. " Don't worry. It's going to be all right now. He's gone, and the kingdom can go back to living in peace. " Paper Quill pushes him away, " But Dark Spectre is Dead! He was my friend, you know this! What am I to do, now that I lost him!? " She was enraged with Wizzle Piff, he knew of nothing to do, so he thinks.. ' Bumble is still out there.. But we can get her later. ' He then got an idea, ' Maybe is we get Bumble to explain the horrid things he did, maybe she will be- no... That's horrible, I'll just try to get her mind off of it. ' Wizzle nods his head slightly. " Well Paper Quill, we do need to fix up the kingdom. How about we start on that? " Paper Quill wipes the tears from her eyes, and she nods, with a warm smile. They both fly down, to tell the ponies of the once fallen kingdom, to tell them the tyranny is over. " Ponies of the Flutter Vye kingdom. Your cruel tyrant Dark Spectre is dead. I will return to ruling you in peace- " The ponies all cheered, they had their proper ruler back, to keep them in peace, " But first, we must get rid of all those hoof chains, and fix the kingdom back to its glory. " The unicorns instantly start to unlock all the hoof chains, after a bit of unlocking, the ponies all had marks around their hooves where the chains were, but that did not phase them, they immediately went to cleaning the kingdom up, running around happily. " Ah, glad to see them running about. Let's go to the castle and start repairing whatever happened to it. " They start to go to the castle, and walk in. To see banners and other miscellaneous things laying about. paper Quill's eyes widen up a bit, " Well.. Looks like we have quite a bit of work to do. " She looks at Wizzle, they both nod, and fly about, taking banners down. And moving those random items to the trash. After a few hours of cleaning the castle of it's messy halls and rooms, they sigh in relief. " Great. Now let's go and check up on the ponies, it sounds like everything is back in order, but still. " They go over to a balcony, to look down. The ponies wander about the kingdom freely, and happily. Some are sickly, but others helping them. Paper Quill smiles, " Glad to have the kingdom back. " She says so, before heading to her bed. And they both go to rest for the night.
