Dear Celestia,
I`m all alone. You know the feeling, right?
Having lost everything. Your friends, your parents... I`ve lost it all. Even Spike`s gone.
This may be the last time I write to you, Celestia.
I know your busy, but I need to tell you something important.
About me, about the past.
Over the years, my best friends began to... Flicker. Like a fire, slowly, each one went out.
Until finally, Rainbow Dash`s flame blew out.
Then Pinkie`s.
And Fluttershy`s.
And then the rest.
Spike died last month. I wanted to tell you sooner, but I was just... Depressed.
What do I do, Celestia?
I can`t be the princess of friendship with out friends! Every day, I spend my time coped up in the castle.
It`s really silent here, now. Without Pinkie Pie around.
How have you been living all these years? I know it must be hard, but your needed in Equestria. You and Luna.
I see why you haven`t done it.
Gone to your friends and family, joined them forever.
I think i`m going to. I can`t take being a princess anymore. I hate my crown. I hate my wings. I hate my life.
That being said, I have a small glimmer of hope left.
I don`t know where from though, but it`s beating me alive. That hope. I want to get rid of it.
Cadence is gone, Shiny`s gone, Spike...
All my friends are dead gone. Every single one of them... From Rarity to Owlicious.
I hope you understand, Tia.
What i`m going to do. I`m going to take off this immortality. I`m going to retire from being princess.
I`m going to let go.
I do want to make one last, maybe memorable pen pal note to you, though.
I want to thank you, for everything. Being my teacher, my friend, my other mom...
Yeah, you were practically another mom to me, I must say. Remember when I scraped my leg, and you acted like cat to her kits?
Or when we pranked all the guards in your kingdom?
That was funny.
Or maybe when we raised the sun, together?
I`d like to dwell on that thought one last time. We stayed awake all night just to do it. Rounds and rounds of coffee. Mostly pure black though, I needed the strong to stuff to keep my limbs from going out.
The tension, as we played chess and listened to random Dubstep.
I never knew you`d like that kind of music.
And when the final moment came, and you let me beat you.
Then you took me up to your side, and said, 'it`s time'. My face lit up so brightly.
We charged our magic, and raised our horns! I used what little magic I had and moved, something. Probably not the sun or moon in the slightest, but I did hear a cat screech that morning.
And when we were, you took me up in your wings and nuzzled me.
We played in the garden, practiced spells, played hide and seek, tag, all of it.
I loved those times.
I may not get a reply form you, but if I do, I probably won`t answer it.
I think you know why.
I love you Celestia, please forgive me.
Your best friend forever,
Twilight Sparkle
