“Are you both ready to leave?” Celestia asks us. I look to her, and shake my head.
“No, I have an item that I will not leave behind.” I say before I head down my hallway and into my room before opening my bedside table’s drawer. I pull out the one thing that I had with me when I was in the orphanage.
The owners of the orphanage had found me with a necklace around my tiny hands. It was a simple black silver chain with a small winged amethyst sword at the end of it. It was the first and only thing that I truly called mine, and I made sure I kept it, even if I had to resort to violence to keep it. I treated it like it was a piece of my soul. Kept it in mint condition with my own money, and work.
I put it over my head, and around my neck before heading back out into my front room.
“Now I am ready. What about you Fluttershy?” I ask my daughter.
“Could I bring my pets with me?” Fluttershy asks Celestia.
“I’m sorry, but if I use my magic to change anymore creatures to survive in our world I won’t be able to get us all there safely, but if you wish to say goodbye to them, now is the time.” Celestia replies. I could tell this was going to be a problem, so I look to Fluttershy. She was sad, but not crying sad.
“I’ll be back soon.” Fluttershy says as she heads to her room with her head down low.
“Sir, we’ll need to name you when we get to Equestria, so you should start thinking of a name.” Twilight tells me.
“I already have thought of one. What do you all think about Gold Torch?” I ask them all.
“It fits.” says Celestia with a smile.
“Seems cool.” Dash says as she looks me over.
“Yay! Now I can throw you a par-tay!” Pinkie shouts with a hoof pump of success, or happiness. I smile at her antics before looking to Rarity.
“I think that name suits your pony body perfectly darling.” She tells me with a small smile.
Twilight got cut off by Fluttershy slowly walking back into the front room. She came right up to my side, and threw her arms around me before bursting into silent tears. I shared her sorrow as I had come to love the animals that would visit us, as well as protect us. It was a humbling moment for me and my daughter for us to watch as Celestia lights her horn in a brilliant golden hue, and then see our home be replaced by an open field that had a small cottage in the distance.
I had a sad smile on my lips from the scenery, but I sat there consoling my daughter while her sadness ran out of her in tears, and quiet whimpers.
Suddenly a herd of many animals come from the cottage and surround me and Fluttershy.
The animals all saw Fluttershy, and group hugged us until her tears were gone replaced by wonder at how many animals we had surrounding us.
“Welcome home… my little Fluttershy.” I say quietly to my daughter.
