Silently a Alicorn made her way slowly up the hill. She did not fly though she possessed wings nor did she teleport though she had a horn. She made the trek on hooves.
Just ahead of her was another Alicorn, larger than the first though not so much so. The trek took them up the steep hill covered in dense forests. The top of their climb was a bare rocky cliff with only a few scraggly shrubs clinging on.
The vista here was likewise mundane, vast forests stretched out before them. A few large stumps could be seen at the far edge of the forest. While far in the distance was a tall mountain faintly visible from the rocky cliff.
Here on this cliff were two small stones, different from the cliff by their colour and polish.
One was visibly older than the other, it retained its polish yet the rough stone it had been cut from had been worn smooth over the years.
The etching on its face was faint though not gone, instead it bore the signs of inexperienced work done over the masterfully original. Yet it was done with painstaking care to keep the etchings sharp.
Its companion was far newer, the rough stone still retained it rugged edges. The etching on this was also masterfully done and its lines sharp and clear.
The two Alicorns walked over to the newer of the two and with a faint pop of magic had brought out fresh flowers. A fine bouquet of daises, lilies, sunflowers, and pansies was laid out in front of the stone.
Words weren't shared, they couldn't be. The younger held onto the elder as they both hunched over the stone. Silent tears streaked down their faces as they did the best they could to comfort each other.
All the while the etching of a familiar Sun stared at them, a burning reminder of what they had lost.
