Epilogue
It took Valyrie a couple of times to try and open her eyes. The light was unusually harsh on her, causing her retinas to sting. Moaning, she reached up with her claw and rubbed her brow, hoping to alleviate the pain. It hurt in its own way, but worked enough for her to try and open her eyes once more. As the harsh light faded into more recognizable colors, she noted she was staring at the ceiling of a white room.
Valyrie blinked a couple of times, trying to recall what had happened. Her mind was foggy, but bits and pieces came back to her. The last vivid memory she had was her fighting a large and very angry changeling, all the while trying to reach Comet, who was apparently being held hostage. She remembered she wasn't doing too well, being lifted into the air and then...
Her left shoulder stung at the memory. Valyrie hissed slightly and tried to move it, but found she was unable to do so. Looking over, she saw not only her shoulder, but her whole left arm was bound securely with layers of white cloth and suspended in the air with a couple wires. Her mind went blank at the sight and a sense of horror washed over her. She knew the fight went badly for her, but she didn't think her entire left side was broken. Tentatively, Valyrie attempted to move her claws and found the tips of them wiggle out of the end. Valyrie breathed a huge sigh of relief and relaxed back against her pillows, knowing she could at least she could still move.
The dead silence of the room made her uncomfortable after several hours. Valyrie had never been so bored before, but she tried to pass the time as best she could. She experimented moving part of her left arm and shoulder, finding she had no pain from her elbow down. Upwards towards her shoulder, though, she could barely twitch without experiencing a mind numbing lance of pain. After that, she counted the speckles on the ceiling three times, confirming there were four hundred and seventy two in the three tiles above her head, meaning there were about one hundred fifty seven per tile, give or take a few. Once math bored her, she hummed to herself a couple songs from her home, wishing her mother was here.
A steady set of hoofbeats caught her attention as she looked to the door on her right. Standing in the doorway was a violet unicorn, levitating a clipboard. "Ms. Valyrie Coldclaw?" the pony asked.
"Uh huh?" Valyrie responded. She didn't particularly like the use of her last name, but she said nothing.
The pony lowered the clipboard and gave a sincere smile. "How are you feeling today?"
"Oh, uh, pretty good."
"I see," the pony said, "So, since you are awake, I gather you have some questions you would like to ask?"
Valyrie just looked over to her arm as the pony began to speak again.
"Ah yes, about your arm. Well, when you were brought to us, we did our best to splint it. Your clavicle had split and dislocated your humerous, meaning we first had to reattach your arm to your shoulder before we could fix what was wrong. We put you into a deep sleep and applied some very powerful pain relieving spells so you wouldn't wake as we maneuvered your arm back into its socket. On a side note, you had three ribs with rather large cracks in them as well."
Valyrie said nothing as the doctor rattled off item after item of problems she had. It took several more minutes for the doctor to leave and she sat in silence, wondering what her father would think. Here she was in Equestria as a form of punishment and she somehow managed to pick a fight with a powerful enemy, leaving her hospitalized with a completely messed up left shoulder. In the Griffon Kingdom, this was a sign of great honor as fighting off such an enemy and only getting one arm hurt was a rare thing. Many of those who fought larger beasts, like wyverns or chimeras, came back in an even worse state than she did. Plus, those monsters didn't use magic, unlike the changeling she fought.
About four days later, Valyrie sat alone in the same bed, thinking and staring at the ceiling silently. Comet had visited her in his new armor and told her of what had happened in the past few days. He relayed the promotion ceremony and told of his new rank, but saved the part about Angel for last. It made Valyrie sad to hear he chose Angel over her, but she wasn't bitter about it. She had accepted Comet wouldn't be hers after her confrontation with Angel before the attack, but that didn't mean she didn't shed a few tears after talking to Comet.
Now, all alone, she waited for the time to slide by. As she was nodding off, a couple of hoofbeats caught her attention. Looking over, she was rather amazed by what she saw. The familiar sight of a bat pony stood in the doorway, looking around as if lost. The pony was taller than Angel and had a more masculine appearence, showing off some larger muscles in his front legs and neck. He had a scar running across his right eye, almost like a wound from an encounter with a wild animal. His mane was shorter than Comet's, trimmed closer to his fur but long enough to tell it was a mane. His more feral looking eyes scanned the room and came to a dead stop on Valyrie.
"Oh!" He exclaimed in a voice that reminded her of a cello. "I'm sorry! I was looking for the head doctor and I got, uh, lost..."
"It's okay." Valyrie said automatically, not taking her eyes off of the pony. "What's your name?"
The pony watched her too and responded, "It's, uh, Midnight Glow. What's yours?"
The two wound up talking for a good long while, Midnight Glow totally forgetting who he was looking for. Valyrie found him likeable, more so than Comet when she first met him. He had apparently come to join the guard after hearing a sibling of his had, so he was hoping to find the said pony.
"What's the pony's name? I might know who it is." Valyrie offered.
Midnight Glow looked her straight in the eyes and said, "Her name is Angel Beats. She's my half sister."

I love happy endings
awwwww, maybe valyrie will find some happiness!
Wow, this is an interesting development.
I didn't expected to see an epilogue.
But with that being said I'm very happy to see that Valyrie survived the ordeal. I'm kind of amazed that Angel had a half brother.
Will this get a sequel(In more slice of life kind of way)? I kind of want to see more of Angel's shenanigans.
HYES!!!! SEQUAL NOW MAN!!!! WOOOO!!!
So is there going to be sequel with Midnight Glow?
...eh.
I suppose it wraps things up well enough, which really is the point of an epilogue. I didn't like how blatant it was though. Simply saying "she liked him better than Comet when she first met him" is a classic problem of telling and not showing. You did great building up Valyrie's feelings for Comet, but this feels... Rushed. Like you just wanted to get it out so you could silence everyone complaining about not having any closure with Valyrie.
I won't say I'm happy with how the story has ended, but I will say that it was a hell of a ride while it lasted.
Also, I think you're the first author on this website to cause a case of Twilight syndrome(Team Angel vs. Team Valyrie)
A half-brother for Valyrie? Works for me!
So... does this mean that Valyrie is going to be Angel's half sister too? :D?
I see how you are setting up for the sequel
Awesome times 20
I'm really sad to see it end but it was fun while it lasted I hope there will be a sequel soon
This chapter, I like it

Well, with those two I had multiple chapters to work with. This, I kinda condensed into a quick thing sine I had only one chapter to work with. That doesn't mean I won't flesh this out more.
Perfect 1111 words. :3
and a spectacular ending to a great story.
sad to see it go but all stories must come to an end I guess. so I thank you for the ride my good sir

I can understand that. It's easy to see you're setting up for a sequel, and while there's nothing wrong with that, it takes away a bit from getting a full feeling of closure. I personally plan to read a sequel, since an author can only get better, but that's not to say everyone will. I feel like this story should have ended as one door closing and another opening, but it left more of an impression of a new door opening while the other is still slightly ajar.
Well...At least it's something.
SEQUEL!
LALALALALALA!
SEQUEL!
LALALALALALA!
Happiness? Not on my watch. *Begins loading pump-action shotgun*
This story was absolutely spectacular, and unbelievably fun to read. I cannot believe it's already over, but like all good things, they eventually fade. I would like to congratulate you, Comet Burst, on writing such an epic, and keeping me, as well as the entire following you have built entertained.
Cheers

2351150 Do I smell sequel?! YES PLEASE!
I still want to write an alternate ending, but alas. This shall hold me over until then, at least she gets some sort of a happy ending, this time...
This story, it pleases me so
NOW, make a sequel dam it
Happy endings = :'(
Huh, an epilogue. Nice...nothing else, just...nice...
And that is how an awesome story should be all wrapped up. Easily one of my favorites. I liked how you ended it but the epilogue definitely definitely gave it that extra closure.
Still hoping for a sequel. This story and the characters are too fun to just leave alone. Also I haven't found any other good bat pony stories. I would really like to know more about them if there is more to tell which I am sure there is.
The beautiful ending. One perfect ending.
Wait a second...

Epilogue
Whaaaaat

And yet that image is where Rarity calls herself pathetic, hmmm.
Good ending, though I can see how a story like this could easily spawn sequels if you so desired.
It's good to see that Valyrie had her implied happy ending as well.
Oh, by the way, you typoed "epilogue" in the chapter title
Well done indeed! Really enjoyed this one. Few new details, just a nice wrapping up of things. Also, that ending just leaves it wide open for a sequel. Oh, I so hope you right one now! Please! You'll make Fluttershy cry if you don't
Commence read.
Well there goes that. Hopefully it works out.
hoping you make a sequil
