The Tears

"Darn it, why did you have to die? I don't even know you, but you still saved her life. Why? Why destroy yourself for somepony who isn't even your species?" Her hooves trembled as she stared at the visitors body, it's back now nothing more than torn flesh and exposed bone. "I couldn't save her, so you got yourself killed protecting her. I'm sorry. I-I'm so sorry. If I could have protected her, you would still be alive." Her voice trembled as she spoke these words. "But, I'm still grateful. Thank you for this. Neither Applebloom nor I will forget you." Tears fell freely from her eyes as a sad smile of gratitude crossed her face.

The Princesses listened to the mares words. They were distressed. "Sister, should we go comfort her?" Luna asked, crying freely. "No, she's needs her friends, but first we must send word to Twilight Sparkle to meet us there." Celestia said, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
