Minutes passed, and the world remained in twilight as Solaria mourned. She had never felt so alone - she had never been so alone before.
These mortal ponies, they dealt with Death, they passed to the Light Beyond where her Sire welcomed them to everlasting fields. She and her sister always remained here, and prepared them for the glory to come.
But she never thought she would face separation from Princess Selena. She had taken for granted her sister's friendship, put her off one to many times perhaps. Disregarded her needs. Partied in the afternoons, leaving Selena to her lonely nights. And now she was alone.
This friendship thing was wonderful, and terrible.
Her sobs shortened, and at long last she rose to her hooves, tears still running down her face. Grim determination animated her limbs as she walked to the South Balcony. There, in the courtyard, stood the population, looking on in anticipation.
Without a word, she turned to her right and lowered her head. The moon followed suit. The crowd moaned and chattered. What had become of Princess Selena?
Drawing upon her heritage, Princess Solaria flew upward, urging the Sun to do the same. Like a faithful pet, it heeded her call.
The cocks crowed. The crowd rejoiced. Solaria smiled, the Element of Mirth once again claiming her heart.
She returned to the scene of battle. Her friends lay there, dusty in the morning sunlight. Closing her eyes, she envisioned a memorial, and ignited her horn.
When she opened her eyes, five stone spheres were all that remained. |
