Celestia and Luna watched as the bodies of the dead were gathered and the Warrior gems from the fallen collected in great large bags. They watched as the body of WhiteWolf was slowly taken away, his chest cleaved open but many ponies say he fought bravely. WolfSlayer was injured, having one leg split open and he had taken several hits to his flanks and he wouldn't be fighting anymore.
And finally, they watched the body of SoulStorm as it was carried to a pyre and set alight. Every pony attended this, giving their regards to the fallen King for he had been a great ruler who had come to a terrible end. When the ceremony was over, and the dead had been buried, they left the field and entered the tent.
The fallen Warrior gems had been gathered and now were in large sacks to be dealt with.
"Are you ready for this?" Asked Luna.
Celestia looked at her sister wit weary eyes before she breathed in and said," Okay... Let's begin..."
They both took the Warrior gems out as they sat down amongst the gems and concentrated on their magic.
"Loyalty, Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter, Magic." The two Alicorns said as they repeated the words over and over and their horns began to glow as the Warrior gems began to glow and levitate. The gems slowly spun around and around as the two princesses kept repeating the words over and over, the gems of the same color began to slowly combine together. The gems began to create shapes and symbols and as the gems combined, five became necklaces of gold with symbols: a purple crystal, a lightning bolt, a butterfly, an apple, a balloon. The sixth gem became a crown with a purple star dominating the top of the crown and as the Elements of Harmony slowly floated to the ground, the two princesses gasped as sheen of sweat covered them and as their horns stopped glowing, they both picked up the elements and put it into a bag nearby.
"I hope this works..." Said Celestia.
"If dad told us to do it, I think even he knew it would work." Said Luna.
Celestia and Luna got up and walked to their beds as they both managed to fall into a fitful sleep.
IronBlood led BloodHoof and LightningBolt as they continued to carry Steeltrix away from the battlefield. They had long since not heard conflict but the forest had seemed to swallow any sound they made and as IronBlood saw a clearing up ahead, he strode onward with more need to try and save his brother. The group reached the clearing and they saw it was dominated by a large, smooth pool of water. They came to the water edge as IronBlood said," Okay, we need to hurry."
Suddenly, Steeltrix collapsed into the pool and as the other three scrambled after him, the pool began to glow. The four suddenly found themselves falling to sleep as they became suspended mid-animation as the magical pool worked its spell on them, causing them to never wake or age, not die in Steeltrix's case, as it would keep them asleep until they were truly needed again.
As the sun glimmered over the horizon once again, the field from the battle was quiet as two banners, flanking a single stone plaque, sat towards the hill the Rebellion camp had been. The remaining Warriors, a remainder of both Shadow Warriors and Rebellion Warriors, slowly followed Princesses Celestia and Luna as they marched to confront Discord. As they entered the center of Ponyville, suddenly, a dark cloud appeared before the army and as the Warriors prepared themselves for a fight, Discord manifested himself from the cloud and looked at the small army as he said," Well, well, well... Looks like you did manage to win the battle."
"Discord," said Celestia as she and Luna walked forward," god of Chaos, Lord of all Changelings, you have caused much desolation and destruction upon this land. You have corrupted our own, had many lives killed, and desecrated our kingdom.
"And it is in that; we finally put you back into where you belong." Said Celestia.
Discord cackled and laughed at the words as he said," You really think that your magic can banish me? I no longer can go back there. And your army won't make it if they try and fight me."
"That's why we made these." Luna and Celestia used their magic to bring out the six Elements of Harmony and as the elements slowly began to soon around Discord, he realized too late what was happening and he howled in frustration as the elements glowed bright and spun around him faster and faster. And the whole army watched as Discord was slowly turned into pure stone, a statue that would stay that way for all of time. The elements slowly stopped glowing and spinning as Celestia and Luna put them back in the bags.
Then, they turned back to the army and said," Today, we shall celebrate. For a new age has come to Equestria. No longer will we look at our neighbors and slaughter each other in great, long wars but instead we will finally use the magic of friendship to unite all of Equestria under a single banner.
"Today, the Age of Friendship begins!" Shouted Celestia and the whole army whooped and hollered as many exchanged hugs and other brotherly actions as the sun seemed to shine brighter at the announcement. And then, the horns of both princesses glowed and upon their flanks, their Cutie marks glowed with magic.
The Age of Bloodshed had ended and now the Age of Friendship would begin as the land of Equestria would slowly begin its reconstruction of everything. They both knew that though the journey to peace would be long, it would be well worth the trouble.
