//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: My Little Pony: The Element of Time // by Thunderwing250 //------------------------------// As the long, starry night sky continued, crickets chirped furiously along the coastline. Crabs of all shapes and sizes scavenging for food went to a nearby hill of sand. There, ruins of a strange structure lay, undisturbed. Looking for food, the crabs came across an orange crystal, shining dimly. Curious, they approached it, only to be blinded suddenly, with a force, pushing them away. In an instant, the beach shook, like an earthquake, only this was no earthquake. Something was disturbed. As the mountain of sand exploded, a large, suspension bridge-like structure was revealed, and there, a bright light shone, and a form struggled to its feet. Animals nearby fled in fear of the creature, only for its light to dim to total darkness. Standing up on its many legs, a crab looked up and noticed it was no ordinary creature. There was a long silence, until the creature roared out, echoing throughout the silent night. In Cloudsdale, StoneColt Hoover awoke suddenly from his sleep and ran to a window. He looked up into the night sky and could only think of one nameā€¦ Khaoios.
