Born For Loyalty

by Admiral Q Ponyform

Special: Final Flight

It was a bright and sunny day. And she HATED it, but it was what he wanted this way and she will respect it. She had her wing over her sister. Dawn was already crying and leaning on Dash which she was more then willing to do. They entered their grandpa’s mansion, turns out her family was more well off then she first knew. But she had fun in this place during her second childhood. Gramps always had this place over the same lake. Story goes he fell in love with grandma at this lake and they spent a few decades in this place before she died. Looking in the upper right corner remembered helping gramps with his model of old Cloudsdale down to even miniature prepaid in colored armor. She was partial to the red armored ones. She remembered times in the kitchen when gramps spoiled her and Dawn with shakes ,cake , and other treats. Or the balcony where they watch sunsets or the beautiful landscape. The times they flew all over the area. The sound of laughter from their mouths as they flew with gramps. Watching gramps repair stuff to keep himself busy. Sadly those days have long passed. They move into the ballroom. There rows of chairs were setup facing the wall length glass which was removed for today. They had used this room for many parties but she wished for something else but this. Near the now missing windows was gramps lying on state. The pain that has been on his face the past year gone. His body literally fell apart on him the last year. He couldn’t even live this place for most of it. Half the times she left Ponyville was to visit him.

Now he was gone and today is his funeral. She and Dawn took seats on the front row and soon the service began. A priest from a group that worshiped Celestia spouting words that were supposed to comfort us. It didn’t for me. Her mom Firefly got up started to say something but started crying instead. Her dad pulled her away. Dash got up to the podium. “Gramps was a good pony. Greeted everypony with a smile, spoiled me and my sister. His spirit always strong and youthful. His spirit never failed his body did. Even at the even he made ponies smile. I’ll miss him, I’ll miss him very much.” She looked at his body. “Goodbye gramps.” She stepped away and back to her seat.

After a few more words she, her dad, her mom took the body outside and together they summoned storm clouds over them. When it was black as night she and her parents, with tears in their eyes moved in sync from a week of practice they bucked the cloud and three bolts of lightning struck her grandpa’s body turning it to ash. Then her mom went to the ash and used her wings to blow it into the wing. His final flight.

After a few minutes the three ponies joined Dawn and cried at the loss of a loved one.

In memory of my Grandpa who recently passed away.

I will miss him.

Author's Note:

Had to make this and be a small short since this universe it would fit in best. My tribute to my grandpa. May he rest in peace.

Will Fluttershy be badass in this story?

[Snow]

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my grandfather not too long ago myself. Nothing really helps, when it happens. All you can really do is hope that there's more justice in the next life than in this one, so that good can be as happy as they make others.

[ToMahkAros]

Sorry for your loss, I lost my grand mother 2 years ago last April. It still hard to think that I won't see her again. But I know that she is in a better place. Peace be with you Admiral.

[Admiral Q Ponyform]

8182383 not really

8182451 Thank you both. this is my third relative I've lost in two years so this has been hard.

[Snow]

8182496 ...It won't stop bothering you, when you think about it, but the pain fades into the background with all the other little aches you forget hurt until something happens to remind you. As time distances you from the event and more occupies your mind, that'll occur less and less frequently. So, no, it won't hurt any less, but it will get easier to deal with until you can remember the good things and laugh honestly without getting sad immediately after. It'll be OK.

[Admiral Q Ponyform]

8182502 I know, just sucks right now.

[Pinky Music]

I'm sorry for your loss, while it has been a while since I lost my grandfather, I just recently lost my mother. Snow is right about everything, but right now, it sucks for me.

I would like to add that if you have family nearby, don't forget that they can be a huge source of strength through trying times and it helped to share the pain with them all.

[Admiral Q Ponyform]

8182543 makes sense that Angel is that thing isn't it?

[Chrome Masquerade]

Jeez.

[Dinokid11]

Well that was depressed

[Admiral Q Ponyform]

8182737 It was meant to be that way. Dash is mourning a lost, just like me.

[Night-from-another-world]

May your granpa rest in peace with everyone else.
I understand your pain as my grandpa is alls dead.

[Viper Pit]

damn sorry about your grandpa take all the time you need

[ToMahkAros]

8182496 The rest of my surviving Grandparents have multiple health issues and my other Grand mother is not doing well, especially with her obisity and diabetes, she doing ok for now but the threat of diabetic complications is worrisome. I do hope things go well for you and your family. Peace be with you Admiral.

[Admiral Q Ponyform]

8183043 Not stoping but felt the need to make this tribute to him.

[Viper Pit]

8183160 okay then if you need any help don't be afraid to ask ok

[harts fire]

my condolences I have lost all my grandparents over the years and my father a few years back, I know how this feels.
the pane will never truly go away but it will get better.
I only have my mother left and as a only chilled I am not looking forward to the coming day.

[Snowkitsune]

May he rest in the summer glens

[Texus]

a nice idea for the furneal ( I hope I spelled it right), anyway it is not that sad, because well it is the first chapter after a while.
I'm just saying I think because of that it isn't that effective, probably those that read it in one go are sadder after this chapter.

[Nova Blaze]

Sorry for your loss. I just lost my grandpa a few months ago, so I know how you feel. It never stops hurting, but you learn to live with the pain. Peace be with you.

[tsaukpaetra]

Yeah, that's one of the more really annoying things about life. We only have one grandparent left.
The only thing we've found to help that front is to keep the song going, and possibly joining others into the chorus. The song doesn't end, really, but it does need to be sung.

[PoppedAnon]

blow it into the wing

Should be wind.

Sorry about your gramps, man.

[Admiral Q Ponyform]

8200217 thank you.

I had to read this paragraph(more like an essay) three times before i got half of what you were trying to say

[doompony32]

I got what you said instantly even though there is a lot of misspelling in thia. I understand it because I lost my father not to long ago.

[KvAT]

I love their cremation process, you really outdid yourself with this short one.
