Solace

8. Epilogue: Fruition

Hope had been a powerful thing this far: it had helped keep the month of waiting for her from driving you mad. And even when there was but a sliver of it, Lyra ended up in your arms.

And now you have more than hope. You have hope...
And you have Lyra.

There was a chance. More than a chance.
You'd been gone for a month. Trying to get back to normal on Earth was almost certainly a fool's errand. But here, here things were beginning to look up.

You gently brush a hand through Lyra's soft mane, reaching breaking point as tears begin to roll down your face, able to conjure only a whisper. Your mind was made up.
"Then I'm not going anywhere."

You've done it. You'd saved the mechanical nightmare that appeared at your door all that time ago. You'd vowed to take care of it, and now she'd vowed to help you. Now, it was her turn to give you solace.

Not far behind you stood the two guards. The pair who'd been keeping you under their watch the whole time, as if you were prone to murderous rampages. Though, given the circumstances, it was understandable.

As the pair of you sat there, the two guards looked to each other. With a nod, they turned and headed away for the castle.

-----

Before long, Lyra's promise came true. With her help, you were able to show the locals that you were not who they thought you were, finding yourself finally able to socialise with them without being rejected as a monster.

Your life on Earth was forgotten.

Because it was better here.

The End.

Allow me to be the first to congratulate you for a story well done.

[Brony549]

Beautiful... In a terrible way, but a beautiful story. I congratulate you, give you a thumbs up, and a favorite. And I would give you a spikestach, if this wasn't an iPhone and I could figure out how to add the emotion things in the comments.

You have to acutally WRITE the code-thing for said emoticon to use it.

For example: "moustache" with ":"'s at the ends would be spike-stache.

Okay, now lets say I don't actually know any of these codes...

Oh! Then I guess you could go to a user-page, press a icon and whatever text comes up (from pressing the icon) is your icon code!

Ex: : pinkiehappy : = (no space)

Meanwhile Neckbeardio reclaimed his portal in abandoned house and now he's gotten ponies nobody cares about like Applejack and Fluttershy.

I'll give him three weeks... until his body explodes from massive doses of unshielded cutness. Serously these ponies are more dangerous than a nuclear bomb being shoved into a nuclear reactor by a chain smoking Derpy.
Warning long term exposure may cause permanent death.

Kind of ruined from the fact her captors weren't caught and executed for their crime.
