Immortal Tears

by Dark0592

I Cried

I cried when my friends died of old age one by one right in front of me...
I cried when my youngest child married, but that was for joy.
I cried when Celestia renounced her magic and control over the sun and turned into dust.
Luna cried with me...
we cried for days.
I cried when spike started his hundred year slumber.
I cried even more when I found out he would never wake up.
I cried when the little foals I used to know, the last I knew from those wonderful times, died of old age
I cried just to cry
I cried when the Nightmare returned
Luna was slain before my eyes
my children imprisoned...
tortured
killed
I cried the hardest then, they were tears of pure agony
I didn't cry when the torture fell upon me
I deserved it
the pain
the suffering
it made me feel mortal
I cried when I got the secret letter
I had a living grandchild
I cried for their parents and their losses
I didn't cry when my wings were ripped from my back
nor when my horn was shattered
I smiled
I thought I was going to finally die
funny...life likes to mess with you like that
I thought I had cried all I could cry...
I cried when I felt the presence of those I used to know though
and I cried when they helped me turn the nightmare into dust
I thought I shed my final tear
It was was that of happiness as I gave my power to the sun and the moon
so they could rise and fall without me to guide them on their path
I was wrong though
I cried when I realized I was the last of the Alicorn princesses
I cried for generations to come
they wouldn't know the joys of it
my grandchild is their only hope and my true final tear turns to dust as I follow suit
my name is Twilight sparkle
the last Alicorn princess of Equestria

I cried...the tears fell to the ground...and burnt holes into the hard wood floor. I cried...and my mother came in...and cussed me out. I went to the moon and died in a field somewhere...next to a wrench.

If you get that last part then you know about Moonbase Alpha.

Stay frosty!

391550I only know of that game from Spike and Barley Let's play. They got a little robot named Henry the Third, with a pointy finger, and Barley carries a fan across the moon.

The thought of.....I can't even explain this!! This is VERY Deep!

Wow...So Deep = ambiguous?
Shit...Those Xiaolin monks were right...Sage advice can come from any.

This was great. Too bad FiMFiction doesn't accept entries with less than 1k words spread throughout; this would have made a great standalone.
