With the defeat of Tirek and all of Equestria once again saved, life seems to return to normal. However, despite her best efforts, Princess Celestia has come under intense scrutiny for her decision to trust Discord into capturing Tirek before they go on a mad spree and deviatate the land. Now locked away in her room, she feels all the guilt of her failure as a ruler come back to haunt her. These doubts though are about to be corrected however by the same three alicorn princesses that she feels she had failed the most.

He dismissed all the claims as nothing. He never saw the dangers. He neglected his duties for a wedding. And now as his final ounce of energy is rapidly leaving him, Shining Armour looks on as all he has known and loved is being taken away from him and his. He tries to argue that it was the work of the Changeling Queen who ruined everything for him, but she retorts with a fact that makes him realise with horror who was at fault for all of this and how it will cost him all that he has known, loved and what he has left.

This was based around a one shot little story I wrote on this wicked artwork from; http://thesassyjessy.deviantart.com/art/This-day-has-been-just-perfect-348440256 and which I wrote up here as a one shot with some grammar issues corrected. I hope. ^^; All credit and inspiration goes to TheSassyJessy's amazing picture. :) Enjoy!

My name is Shining Armour. I am captain of the Equestrian Royal guard. Devoted husband to Princess Cadance, sibling to Twilight Sparkle and an honourable stallion always willing to serve my kingdom. Now I'm about to have my life ended by an ant. It may sound far fetched, but it doesn't when you're barely a fraction of an inch anymore like I am now. This is my story...
