Even as a shade, she still had a memory of a body, and Twilight’s eyes brimmed with tears as she felt the warmth and softness of her friend’s hide. “It’ll be OK, Twilight,” said Dash. “We’ll never forget you. And we’ll be waiting for you, just as soon as you kick Trixie’s ass!” “Dash, I...” but as Twilight started to speak, Rainbow Dash slipped the heart locket onto Twilight’s neck, and as she did her colours faded away, drifting back into shadow. “Goodbye Twilight,” Rainbow Dash’s voice came as if from a great distance away. “I love you. We all love you!” She smiled. “Everything will be OK....” And then the voice was gone, and the smile with it, turning back into the snarl of the unquiet dead. But Twilight was no longer afraid. She got to her feet and lifted her neck, staring eye to eye with Trixie. Between them, the shades had begun to coalesce together, taking the form of a giant arch of inky blackness... The Rainbow of Darkness! “Too little TOO late, Twilight Sparkle!” screamed Trixie, and with a triumphant neigh she stabbed the air before her with her horn and the dark arch whipped around Twilight, constricting her. Twilight screamed in agony. Her body felt cold and hot at the same time, her skin aflame, the marrow of her bones solidifying into ice. Her mind was buffeted with a wind of screaming voices – the cries of the dead, the voices of her friends, filled with scorn and recriminations, accusing her, blaming her for their deaths. But inside it all she felt a scintilla of warmth, kept apart from the glacial wind, a voice filled with love amongst all the screeching hate. “I love you Twilight Sparkle,” it said. “We ALL love you.” |
