To the east was the sun, surrounded by yellow and red. The stars filled the southern and western corners of the sky, and behind them was a backdrop of cerulean. The world (or at least Equestria; nopony knew how other continents were doing) was in panic. It had been bad enough when Celestia was killed by her student, leaving the very much inexperienced Luna to pick up the slack both magically and politically - and now the lunar princess was dead too. Cadance was nowhere to be found, and wouldn’t be able to move the celestial bodies regardless, and Equis’ last hope - the bearers of Harmony - had been all but destroyed when Twilight Sparkle became the enemy the previous month. Anarchy filled the streets of Canterlot in these last hours; on the dirty streets, cultists and preachers yelled out their doctrines to the unhearing masses, hoping to save at least a few more souls before the apocalypse; bars opened their doors wide, allowing anypony who came in to drink their fears away (not that it worked); and those who did not participate in the mayhem hid in their homes, closing their eyes and hoping to wake up from their nightmare. Discord would have loved it, had he not been killed earlier in an attempt to ‘fix the chaos he'd wrought.' Twilight saw all of this from afar, strangely unaffected. She glanced up at her restored love, Chrysalis, and smiled. “It seems there’s nopony to move the sun or moon now, love. Is it time to swoop in and save the day, as you put it?” “Of course. Who else but I could do the job?” The changeling queen stifled a laugh, then leaned down and gave the lavender mare a peck on the cheek. “Of course, I couldn’t if it wasn’t for you. Thank you for being my savior, Twilight.” Twilight Sparkle blushed and looked away. “Of course! I mean, you’d do the same for me if you could.” She pawed at the ground, then shook her head to clear her thoughts. Twilight Sparkle grinned up at her beloved. “Shall we begin a new era of peace?”
