The letter that changed everything.
High pitched cries and wails inhabited ponyville this dark night, even the sky was seemingly crying. Darkness had descended to the lands, people who knew merely sat on the streets and wept, for Someone dear to Ponyville had passed. And the world didn't want too believe it. ~~In the hospital of ponyville~~
Pinkie pie sat next too her dearest friend, her pink mane flattened as she shook Twilight. "Twi...Twi please wake up!" She yelled her heart pounding tears soaking the room, ((Due too her comical crying.)) "You can't be dead Twi! You can't be dead! GET UP!" She screamed louder this time. Applejack grabbed her hoof her own face tear stricken. "There.....There's nothin' we can do sugarcube. She ain't ever gonna wake up, now stop before you give yourself a heart attack and we lose you too." She tried to deliver a weak smile but it ended up as a grimace. Pinkie shook her head violently at Applejack's suggesting Twilight was gone. "NO! It's not fair! Twilight can't die! SHE JUST CAN'T!" During all of this Spike merely sat and stared at his....Well....I suppose he should say mother as Fluttershy clinged too Rarity tightly. Rainbow Dash trying hard not too cry glared at Twilight's corpse. "Twi...Twilight you LOSER!" She screamed in out rage and flew out the window.
The girls did nothing too stop her, pieces of their hearts missing due to this tragedy. Spike suddenly stood up and pulled out a scroll addressed to Celestia. With a heart wrenching sigh he sent it. "Twilight....You better be right about this."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile in Canterlot~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Celestia sat in her royal chambers, staring out the window to watch the heavy storm that had spontaneously appeared out of thin air. "Something is horribly wrong." She said to herself frowning in thought, "Maybe Discord- no, I would have been able to tell if he had broken the seal. Maybe it's C-....No....She wouldn't, not this soon." Her eyes flashed open in terror, "Nightmare M-...." She shook her head, "Shame on you Celestia, she'll never go back too being that demon. But, what could it be?" Around the moment she uttered those words a flash of dark green light illuminated the room and a scroll with Twilight's seal embedded on it appeared before her. Raising an eyebrow she opened the scroll and began too read.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I am sorry to say that by the time you read this I will be gone. My essence put into magic itself around Equestria as my spirit roams freely in the castle courtyards. Spike is encouraging me not to write this letter and to save my strength for when you come to try and rescue me. But...but I know you won't come. I'll be dead by the time you hear about my condition so I need to write this and say a proper goodbye.
I have been diagnosed with Huntington's disease and seemingly nopony can find a useful cure for the case I have. ((Although you already know what it is, since this most likely will be the last time I spout off random information I'm going too explain. Huntington's disease, otherwise known as HD, is the result of a genetic disorder in which the deterioration of brain cells, called neurons, occur in certain areas of the brain. This degeneration causes uncontrolled movements, loss of reasonable abilities, and emotional disturbance. Specifically affected are cells of the basal ganglia, structures deep within the brain that have many important functions, including coordinating movement.))
I'm sorry I have to leave you. I'm young and would have had so much to learn from you, but..... life is fates design. And since fate has decided this for me I need too tell you something that I've held in the back of my brain, something I tried too act like didn't exist. I love you, Princess Celestia. I love you with all of my heart. And, I don't mean like student teacherlly love. (A single tear was found at this part slightly smearing the word love) I want to be with you forever. But the element's have chosen a much different fate for me. A cruel fate that I deserve for loving such a beautiful being as you. So, I hereby revoke my apprenticeship. Goodbye, Celestia.
A filly who loves you with all her heart,
Twilight Sparkle.
Celestia could merely stare and start too silently cry. Her tears hit the wooden floor with a soft pit pattering. Her Twilight. Her little student had already passed. She could feel it in the air around her body. How could she die? How could the universe do this too somepony who had helped it soo much? She sat down on her bed in silence nearly contemplating suicide. "No....You can't be that selfish Celestia, even if-" Her voice cracked and the emotional mask she had been wearing for so many years shattered, her resolve completely destroyed she screamed and buried her face into her pillow too cry. "Wait..." She thought too herself and lowered her royal regalia too her face so she could look at the gleaming crystal inside. "I could always try black magic......" The dark crystal seemed to hum in response.
It was decided, Celestia was going too break her own law. Lying the crown on the floor she drew a magical circle around it using her aura as chalk. "Selo's carusponus centry lios descoranus SEKTOH!" She chanted. The dark crystal shattered and Celestia gasped. "I...I SAID SEKTOH?" She bit her lip. "Oh no....I hope it doesn't change what happens....No. No it has too bring her back. I'll be lost if it doesn't."
