Epilogue
“Why did that pegasus, that child, leave me alive? She should have tried to kill me! Any other sane pony would have, it just doesn’t make sense.” Driknul hobbled back and forth on in his three legs, utter confusion filling his mind.
“Perhaps she knows?” whispered a faint voice in his head.
“I haven’t heard you in a while, Starswirl.”
“I’ve had no need, though now, perhaps I can be free to control my own body once again.”
“Oh? And why do you say that?”
“The filly, she has a pure heart and strong mind, the likes of which I have not seen for a millenia. Not since my student Celestia banished her sister to the moon.”
“And? What does that have to do with knowledge of me and my kind?”
“Only one with a mind as strong as hers would could see past the facade you play and sense another mind being held prisoner in its own body, and only one with a heart so pure and clean would show such mercy, that one day the prisoner might be freed.”
“Interesting, but we shall see. I’ve waited a thousand years for the revival of my species; I can wait a little longer. But in due time, I will have my revenge!” He put a pause between his last words, anger and hatred welling inside his black heart.
