//------------------------------// // Farewell // Story: Equestrian empires // by Astra sky //------------------------------// It was a normal, sunny day in Ponyville, until five soldiers and Captin Shining Armor came for criminals. They told the criminals that if they fought in the war of a rival kingdom, they would be forgiven. The crooks asked why they had to be the only ones to go, so they could choose a companion. "That dragon. He'll be big once, and that's a good advantage!" So, before leaving, he went off to find his friends. They turned out to be right there watching. Spike hugged Twilight, and said goodbye to all of his friends. Fluttershy cried, and Spike promised he would write every weekend. Then he rode a train to Canterlot with the redeemed ponies.
