The six ponies rushed out a broken window in the throne room, looking to the sky in awe. The Doom Slayer and Discord rushed out, looking up as well. The sparkles and magic dust that drifted from the sky shimmered on the dark grass below the hooves of the ponies. The five stood there in silence, as the marker of their friend’s sacrifice drifted in the sky.

The Doom Slayer gazed at the heavens, before staring at the ground solemnly. She was a good fighter. The pony deserved a moment of remembrance. She truly had the spirit of a Night Sentinel, like many of the warriors who had perished near him so long ago. He hated to see another one like them go.

“Twilight…” Fluttershy muttered sadly.

Rarity put a hoof on her shoulder, attempting to comfort the pegasus.

The supernova of purple and white dust gently settled from the sky like snow. It was gorgeous, brighter than the sun in the sky. As they stood, the five couldn’t help but look back at the cherished memories…

Whilst they mourned, Discord looked at his former ally. “Greetings, Slayer.”

The Doom Slayer looked at him a moment, nodding a small greeting as if they hadn’t met again after the numerous eons since they parted paths.

Discord too looked solemn, staring back to the heavens. “She did it. She saved the world. Without her, we’d all be demon chow.” he took a quick glance at him. “With exception to you.”

The group stood there, watching for a long while. They took it all in. The suffering of the last few months had climaxed to this. The question lingered over them not too differently to the dust. What now?

The rather sincere Pinkie Pie was the one to answer the silent, yet shared query. “Let's go home.”

Applejack looked over with a perked ear. “What do ya mean by home?”

“Ponyville.” her lowered mane rested on her neck as she turned, leading the way back.

The walk back was strangely peaceful for the Everfree Forest. The dark woods were illuminated by the glowing dust. Discord and the Doom Slayer joined, the Slayer keeping his Hammer equipped as he followed by the rear with the Draconequus. No further words were exchanged as the dark, swampy forest was absent of any dangerous or exotic creatures, all of which were likely slain by the invasive demons

Fluttershy severely missed the chirping of birds that would pleasantly surround you in the more nice sectors of the woods. Now it was desolate and empty. The only noise was the trees rustling, hoof-steps and the energetic humming of the Sentinel Hammer.

It was a while’s walk before they reached the treeline. The heavily damaged and attacked Ponyville presented itself. The distant, wilted trees of Applejack’s farm covered the rolling fields surrounding the town. Tons of remains of slain demons littered the floor, killed by the professional that followed them.

Many thatch roofs on houses and a lot of walls had been burnt away or destroyed. Some collapsed into the house itself. As they started into their destroyed town, the sadness in the air didn’t seize. As they approached the center of the town, they began noticing forms exiting the buildings.

Many ponies left alleyways and hidden sections of the town to view the sky. The dust sparkled in their eyes as they felt hope writhe through them. Despite the destruction of the town, many of the ponies remained there, too attached to leave.

The dozen or so living ponies walked up to the five. “You did it! You saved Equestria, right? There aren’t any more monsters!” an excited yellow stallion exclaimed.

“Yeah!” a mare cheered.

As they stood before the fountain in the center of town, Fluttershy cleared her throat nervously. “Yes. We did. T-The demons aren’t an issue.” she gave a thankful look to the star-like formation in the sky.

“What about Ponyville, how will we fix it?” another asked.

“We wait for aid from the princesses.” Discord said. “I will let them know as soon as possible.”

More beaten and battered ponies began following the ones that showed up at the town center. Some were stuck with a heavy limp, some missing ears, manes, tails and other. Many had large scars, claw marks, bruises and other signs of damage. All these injured ponies amassed, before reaching around twenty in the clearing. Barely close to half a fraction of Ponyville’s population.

It was concerning for the five to see the residents of Ponyville be in such a worn state. Pinkie knew the names of every one of the residents, their apparent decayed form hitting the worst for the pink earth pony. She scrounged the crowd, looking for the Cakes, only to see them absent.

Applejack also saw not a sight of her family. Big Mac and Granny Apple were absent as well as Applebloom. Rainbow Dash and Rarity couldn’t help but scan the crowd as well. Their younger sisters were unable to be sighted. Their fleeting bit of hope was crushed like a pesky beetle.

And so the once peaceful population of Ponyville all stood there, unsure of what next. The disaster that they had survived left legions of collateral damage, and there would be no way to repair it all. However, all of those in the city center could feel a particular feeling of hope in the shimmering light above. It would be okay, and despite the recent bleakness of the times, they could move on for a brighter life.

Once the crowd dispersed, everypony in the group of five left the town center to attend their old homes. Fluttershy went to her barren cottage, eye glancing at the sky, as if a silent nod to her to fix it up and restore the beautiful creatures of nature to her now collapsed cottage.

Pinkie Pie found the standing, yet heavily demolished remains of Sugarcube Corner. She entered the pastry shaped building, looking across the interior of the building. The Cakes had to be around here surely! This was answered by a baby wail in the basement, small hushes of the parents to keep quiet before another baby joined the crying. Her mane immediately puffed up as she approached the basement door.

Applejack felt the most solemn on her return trip to her farm. The dead apple trees surrounded her ominously as she approached the empty farmhouse. Strangely, it was completely untouched by the invasion. Her hooves marched on the porch, before she lifted one to the knob and twisted it. The interior was warm, welcoming. Everything about her was built in this home.

She could almost feel the grief rip at her as she took each step, however joining that emotion was a sense of determination. Her family would wish for her to keep going, right? The same thing Twilight would want. To continue the business, in their name.

Rarity saw the ghastly destruction of her bouquet with a depressive tone. The remains of dresses were torn and scattered across the completely collapsed rubble. She had to sniffle and hold back tears as she removed the numerous dresses from the wreckage.

She felt her heart tremble as she found the dresses she had in the backroom, the least demolished from the building’s destruction. She picked up the outfits from the rubble, viewing each one. A nice green, flowery design for Fluttershy as she often enjoyed, A pristine rainbow-covered dress designed with flying in mind for Rainbow Dash, A pair of boots and an orange-yellow dress for Applejack. She could recall making the pink pastry themed outfit for Pinkie Pie as well. Then she got to Twilight’s, designed with the starry night sky in mind.

She frowned a moment, before smiling. Rarity lifted it up to the sky, looking at the dust in the clouds. “It would’ve looked great on you, Twilight.”

Rainbow Dash sat on her destroyed cloud castle longingly. All she could do was stare up at the heavens, thinking of some way to thank her friend. However, any string of words were insufficient. Rainbow had to simply bear with “Thanks, Twi…”

Dear Spike, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Applejack

I love all of you. If you’re reading this, and I survived my fight against the demons, then you should probably get rid of this letter. However, if I am dead, then please continue. When I was lost in those woods, running away from the arch-demon that killed Spike, I realized one thing. I was no Princess of Friendship. If I was, I would have given myself up to that monster and let you all live happily.

Sadly, I ran. I left my friends, those I swore to protect, to be at the mercy of evil. That night, I foreswore the title of Princess of Friendship. What kind of friend leaves their best friends behind like that? A bad one. I was a terrible friend for that. That night, I cried while hiding out in the Everfree Forest, thinking about all of you.

There, I decided I would stop at nothing to right my wrong. So I began. I found the Embeddation Machine and used it to allow myself to battle the demons. To become stronger. I protected Canterlot and invaded that Hellship. I rescued all of you, all my friends. Every smile from you all was like a ray of light, even if I didn’t look too friendly with my augmentations.

Now I’m about to finish this fight. If I make it, hopefully you won’t have to read this letter. By the time you would read it, I hope Ponyville is in a much better state than I left it. Maybe we could go to the Grand Galloping Gala and forget all of this happened! After they clean the dead body wall.

I guess I have one final question for you all. Was I a good friend? Did I save Equestria? I wouldn’t know. Just, I want all of you to have a nice life, promise me that! It’s what you deserve.

Sincerely, Princess Twilight Sparkle

Здравствуйте NotAnEditor как у вас дела и все хорошо у вас и никаких отслеживаний нет я хотел спросить у вас есть ли вас не затруднит мне глава сврехновая очень-очень сильно понравился и в тоже время печально потому что принцесса сумеречная искорка(Палачь Твайлайт) погибла и умерла в конце и она превратлась в новую сверхновую звезду/Новая Солнца заместо прижней обычной. Палач Рока тоже невыносимо смотреть на это видь что дальше будет и что станется с ним, дискордом и её друзьями в будущем видь конец подходит к концу(к завершению) и у меня возник вопрос а будет у него продолжения(прямое продолжения или сиквел это рассказа)? NotAnEditor пожалуйста ответьте на мой вопрос хорошо я буду ждать вашего ответа?
