Celestia felt a surge of warmth run through her body and one thought coursed through her mind, he did it!
Her magic was back and she quickly cast out her senses to find her fellow princesses and anyone else who had been cast here unfairly by Tirek. Celestia located them grinning as she casted a mass teleportation spell.
She basked in the sunlight, quickly making sure to set the sun back to the position it was supposed to be. She looked over at Twilight and her friends who were talking and rejoicing in their new found freedom.
“I never thought sunlight could be beautiful when compared to darkness.”
Celestia turned around and regarded her sister warmly, “To be fair the darkness we were in held no stars and was a poor imitation of your nights.”
Luna blushed at the complement and then inquired, “What happened? What do we do next?”
Celestia smiled, “We rebuild, and rally our ponies back and mourn those who died fighting for their freedom. Discord may have caused this situation but he redeemed himself in the end by sacrificing himself so that we can live on in peace. It doesn’t make his betrayal any better but it’s good to know he died doing the right thing.”
Celestia looked out at the land so fertile and rich. She spoke calmly, “Come sister we have much to do before the land knows true peace once again.”
Luna smiled and rallied the others. The group was happy and confident as they set out. They knew that together and through hard work they could lead the recovery effort. The day was bright and Celestia knew that soon Equestria would once again know true peace.
