Epilogue: A Post-Credits Poem

Author's Note:

The following poem's a teaser of a sort –
To this story itself, there's not much import.
But read on if you like; you'll see what I mean –
Every comic book tale needs a post-credits scene!

Now this tale is over, or at least so it seems,

The events are now nothing but mem’ries and dreams.

But there’s still one loose end that might yet take a turn –

There’s a reason why Twi found that book a concern.

You see, ‘twas not meant to just summon the Ponies,

But also a villain, with henchmen and cronies.

There was a tear down on page twenty-eight,

And it glitched out the magic – the villain is late.

The Ponies already returned to their book,

So they won’t be here to stop any new crook.

Will Ponyville soon face the Mane-iac?

And how exactly did Sombra come back?

Maybe we find out, or maybe we don’t;

A sequel might happen, or maybe it won’t.

But for now, I thank you for reading, my friend.

As things stand at this point, this is truly the end.

Hope's Hollow?! Power Ponies?! King Sombra?! Sweetie Belle?! All in poetry?!

Is there anything this fandom won't conceive of?!

...No? No, there isn't? Well, okay then. Good.

Wow, not only did you nail a difficult bingo set, but you did it while rhyming? Zecora would be proud!

Heh. Okay, I'm impressed. That was special.
