Epilogue
Control is a funny thing. It can drive ponies to madness and send them to be a ruthless ruler... but without it, the world would be thrown into chaos and destruction. Everypony needs the control, but few are willing to take on the burdens, and even fewer turn to be good... that's where the Creed comes in.
When those who try and take too much control, try to imprison all in a pen like livestock, we rebel. We fight for those who cannot defend themselves. We fight for a better future.
I myself still stay loyal to my kingdom... but what Gari has told me has kept me on my hooftips. Wondering what secrets might lay ahead...
I granted Gari's wish and took Amethyst in as my own. Not too long after, Whooves and I decided for another one. Sweet little Amy was overjoyed when her new sister, Dinky, in honor of my mom, came into our lives. I too was overjoyed... but was worried, for Dinky's flank was... unmarked...
Everypony was shocked at this news, shocked to find that after a long line of Assassins, it stopped at me... doesn't mean I loved the two any less...
Anyways, I decided to retire, coming back only in desperate measure. I became a personal mail mare, taking jobs as they came and went, so I put way my mark for good... my mark of the Assassin symbol outlined by a shield was permanently replaced with bubbles...
My name is Ditzy Doo. I am a protector of those who are innocent and a protector of my family. I will kill those who ridicule the weak, and aid in those who fight for freedom. I believe that everypony deserves the right to be free from oppression and poverty... I am an Assassin...

(Many Years After The Attack On Manehatten...)
Celestia was leaning back on the side of her bed in her room with empty bottles of Cheery Wine all over the place. A book with the title of "The Royal Family Tree: Private" laid next to her.
There was a knock at the door as the clearly hung-over Celestia sheepishly raised her head and numbly called, "Come In."
"Hello sist-... Oh, sorry," Luna apologized.
"No," Celestia hiccupped, "No need. So, you need something?"
"It's not important, just wanted to let you know the sun needs to be raised in an hour... still miss them."
"Duh," Celestia hiccupped again as she gestured to all the empty bottles with a half empty one in her hoof, "What, you think I just get drunk just to get drunk. I need to numb the pain."
"I know sis," Luna sighed, "But you should really think about letting your emotions out another way, try to move on. Ezio would have wanted you too."
"Don't talk about him," Celestia yelled as she tried to get up, but tumbled back down as the floor moved from underneath her, then she began to sob loudly as Luna looked on with sadness.
"Tia," Luna soothingly said as Celestia sobbing died down, "I know the pain hurts. I know it hurts to lose somepony you hold dear, I was with you when mom and dad died... but you got to look on the brighter side."
"What brighter side," Celestia said, "My foal's are dead, My husband's dead, My parents are dead...
"Enough already," Luna cut her off, a little more sternly, "I'm not dead. You're godfoal's not dead. You're granddaughter's not dead."
"She doesn't even know I'm her grandmother," Celestia pointed out.
"Just try to be happy Celestia," Luna sighed as she used her magic to conjure a trash can as she levitated the bottles into it, "At least try to be happy for me. I'm getting married soon, so try to focus on that then what has happen in the past!"
Celestia shook her head and shakingly got up. She sobered up a bit and levitated the book that laid beside her. She opened it and only focused on one thing.
Luna knew what she was fixated on and let out another sigh as she sent the trash away, "I'm sorry. I guess that was a little harsh."
"It's alright," Celestia replied, as she set the book down on her bed, "In fact, thank you. I need somepony to get me out of my funk."
"You're welcome," Luna smiled, "Let's go downstairs and get some breakfast."
"Sounds good," Celestia smiled back as she followed her sister, closing the door behind her as she left the book open.
The book she left remained opened as it showed Celestia's family tree. It was one of two books. It's twin "The Royal Family Tree: Open" was available to the public for anypony to see. This one, however, was only meant for the eyes of Royalty.
It did tell of the non-blood family: Princess Mia Mora Cadenza and Prince Shining Armor, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Prince Blueblood, Ditzy, now with Whooves, Amethyst, and Dinky, even Edward was a part of it. But it also did tell of the Royal family tree that was connected by blood: Princess Luna, her and her sister's parents, and Celestia.
Celestia did have a branch of her own, and this was only in the Private version. It told that Celestia had in fact had a husband, Ezio Auditore da Firenze , a very light brown pegasus who was apart of the Assassins. They had two pegasi, a son named Marcello Auditore and a daughter named Flavia Auditore. Below their daughter, however, the tree continued into yet another pair of foals... one was a little smudged while the other was... Rainbow Dash...
