Just Keep Laughing

Previous Chapter

Dear Pinkamina,

And so it came to pass, that Drax was brought before the sisters of the sky. He was still stripped of magic, and Celestia watched him like a hawk. Luna, however, was still mournful of what had passed, and clearly heartbroken. Her wounds were still healing, and she was weak from the pain, but it was her spirit that had taken the most damage. She asked one more time for the dark alicorn to forgive her, and to everypony's surprise, he did.

In his usual overdramatic way, he prostrated himself before the two regents, and gave his own forgiveness to both of them, asking only to be forgiven in return. Luna was overjoyed, and forgave him immediately, however Celestia required some pleading from her younger sister. In the end, forgiveness was had all around, for harsh deeds had been done by all.

It took a period of healing, but at last the friendships were mended, and both Luna and Drax sought out a relationship together. In time, he took up a position at her side, and the entire kingdom rejoiced at the union. With his skills of persuasion, and knack for making friends, the dark pony spent many missions abroad as the ambassador for Equestria. Many good deeds were forged with his skills in diplomacy, and all trusted him for his iron-clad honesty.

Despite all this, he never once accepted any title, other than that of Royal Consort. He also never took up the mantle of his powers again, not trusting himself after the last time he lost his temper. This was a good thing, in that the powers no longer belonged to him, having passed to me long ago.

This secret will need to be kept, for there is no telling how Drax would act if he knew. I still mourn the fact that, despite the powers I wield, I was unable to save you either. Each pony has their time, and fate will not be denied. Some live longer than others, but we eventually all come to the end of our journey.

Sadly, I fear this may be the last letter that will be delivered by Derpy. She refuses to give the secret of how she delivers them. In her advanced age, she has taken a turn for the worst, and refuses any help to cure her ailments. She says that she has had her time on this earth, and it is time for her to deliver her soul to another pony. Postage has been paid, and the muffins wont keep forever. She is such a silly pony. Equestria will lose something great when she is gone.

So with that said, I will make my own farewells. I know that father will continue writing, although what he will do with the letters, we do not know. Myself, I will keep mine, and use them to remember you always. Both he and I are still keeping your promise, mother. We are both still laughing. We just needed to find new things to make us laugh. Drax has Luna, and I have my new family. But we will always still have our memory of you.

Your Loving son,

Figment
