4. In Loving Memory

The wind blew through Celestia's hair, as she flew towards the now weakening Crystal Empire, seeing the darkness pressing up against the Crystal Heart's Shield Spell. Celestia could see the grim reactions that the Crystal Ponies were making; their sad faces tear full with fear and worry. Most of the families were huddle together making sure that they had the ones they loved around when the end came. Princess Celestia grew furious as she phased through the shield the Crystal Royal Guards were holding their position around the shield. The shield started to phase away, crumbling as the Crystal Heart began to grow cold. The darkness had begun to invade the city.

"CRYSTAL GUARDS PLEASE TAKE THE PONIES TO SAFTY, HEAD TOWARDS CANTERLOT AND AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS, NOW GO!" Celestia ordered as she walks in front of the remaining force field.

Celestia summoned up all her magic and created and even bigger force field, in order to make sure that the Crystal guards had enough time to take the other ponies to safety.

Discord appears within Celestia's Shadow. "So Princess, how are you doing?" Discord says while floating around Celestia's head.

"Discord I need you to suppress the darkness long enough for me to cast the sealing spell" Celestia says while struggling to keep the force field up.

"Are you sure Princess?" Discord looked with worry "I mean you know what will happen if you do this right?"

"I am well aware of the consequences I have already made arrangements, so please Discord help me save everypony"

"Celestia…" Discord Places a hand towards Celestia's face before he flies up above the force field.

"Now to do what I was destined to do" Celestia concentrated all her magic, her memories began to flash in her mind, and tears fell from her eyes as she released the spell. "Good bye Twilight"

Discord was suppressing the darkness when from down below he saw a bright light that expanded and engulfed the darkness and everything around it, including him.

---

Luna felt a sharp pain in her heart, which was when she knew that Celestia had left her. "Good bye Sister" tears fell from her eyes. The royal guards seeing the young princess of the night tearful knew immediately that the eldest princess had fallen, they all wept that day.

---

Cadence was escorting the Crystal Guards into the castle when she felt the pain in her chest, as tears rolled down her eyes. She looked at her husband who also had tears in his eyes, he moved to comfort her as they began to cry. "Good bye Princess Celestia" they both said.

---

Twilight was reading a book on Alicorn Princess, when she noticed her eyes were dripping tears, but unaware why she was crying. "Why do I feel sad? Maybe I should ask the Princess?" she closes the book and starts walking towards the main hall.

---

Princess Luna remembers the order that her sisters requested.

"Luna please, when I leave this realm please erase every known existent of me from all memories, and text in Equestria"

"No one must know about the darkness, or the reason why they grew sad the day I died, but you will remember me as well as Princess Cadence, yet I do not want Twilight to feel the pain of losing me."

"So please dearest sister"

Luna's tears began to fall even more from the memory.

"Sister I will always love you" Luna says as she performs the eraser spell to every pony and text in Equestria.

As Luna is performing the spell Twilight walks in to the great hall.

"Princess Celes….." Twilight couldn't finish her sentence as everything is engulfed in bright blue mist as Luna's spell swept across all of Equestria.
