Alternate Ending

She had no regrets. Being with Twilight...even though it hurt her so much when she died. The experiences, the times they shared...it more than made up for it. And she would not have wanted it any other way. She was contented.

As she walked away, however, a chilling, disembodied voice whispered behind her.

"Don't leave me..."

Celestia turned her head back, and saw a dark, shadowy...entity, slowly forming to become larger and larger.

"Wh...what are you?" Celestia was a little frightened.

The entity had become a lot larger now, and its voice a little clearer.

"Stay...you promised."

"What? I..I..." Celestia's mind was exploding. This voice...why did it sound so familiar? She could swear she had heard it before, but it had been locked away, a distant memory. A faint echo.

The entity finally stopped growing, and it formed the outline of an...alicorn?

"You promised...you would...love...me."

The black hue surrounding the alicorn slowly faded away, leaving behind a lavender alicorn, who looked exactly like Twilight...only more powerful and mysterious.

"Twi...Twilight? But..how?" Celestia struggled to speak.

"You remember...the power..." The voice was ghostly and eerie.

"...of true love...I...still don't get it..." Celestia said.

"Not even death...may seperate us..."

Twilight walked forward and touched Celestia's cheek. Celestia recoiled, because somehow...the hoof was ice-cold.

"Twilight...are...you even...alive?" Celestia wanted to cry. Twilight was back...or was she?

"Alive...?" The ghostly apparition of Twilight mused.

"Live or death...it doesn't matter...as long as we are together." Twilight unfurled her wings, which was shockingly much wider than Celestia's.

"Twilight...I love you." Celestia walked closer, so that their heads touched each other.

Up close, Celestia saw Twilight's true form. Her face...it was gone, replaced by a skull, and in it contained two, purple orbs that were glowing so fiercely it hurt Celestia's eyes just to look at them. Even her body wasn't real... it was all skeleton all the way to her tail. But Celestia did not feel scared, or worried.

For all that mattered was that Twilight was with her, and now...forever.

"I love you too, Celestia..."

And they leant their heads in and kissed.

Author's Note:

Is Twilight the Equestrian Angel of Death?


Because that would kick ass.

It's a secret...:trollestia:

well.... either Equestria gets used to having a ghostly skeleton alicorn ruling over it beside Celestia.... or Celestia now has a ghost for a wife... just imagen their... nightly activities^^ lol^^

Also random though that just went through my head... In the last chapter Celestia said that everything is possible in a dream right? So why didn't she talk to Twilight when she was asleep? By her own calculations she would have roughly 5 days A DAY with her that way. Stupid Celestia is stupid^^

i really like this story :pinkiehappy: have you ever thought of a sequel to this story for the Endless Snow part of the story not the Alternate Ending or if you do have the Alternate Ending linked to the sequel have twilight disperser but as i was saying a thought came to me after after reading this what if you made a sequel where some how twilight is re-borne and Celestia feels it, and find out where the new yet same twilight is and some how she looks the same even still has her cutie mark. now Celestia finding her as a filly or a new borne i'm not shier how to go with that:rainbowhuh: but as i said ever since i read this story the thought of all this came to me a it is making me wounder how you would do it:raritystarry: but if you don't really want to do something like that i understand :twilightsmile:

I love this ending way better.

Congratulations you got me crying at the last chapter! Something I actually thought I wouldn't be able to do now since this is about the 100th story where it talked about Twilight dying.
