Epilogue: Part 3

Celestia groaned under the weight.

It was almost time.

She had seen it all pass.

It had started with Luna’s death.

The moon had simply begun to get farther and farther away from Equestria, and as it got further away, Luna became weaker.

She quickly deteriorated, getting sicker and sicker by the day, until one day, she simply passed away.

Not long after that, Harmony disappeared.

After that, things got worse.

The tides died without the moon, and the soon after the seas went stagnant.

Fish around the world died, leaving massive heaps of stinking, rotting bodies along the coasts.

With death came disease, and with the disease came plague.

Those were dark days, and many people all over the world died.

And then the sun grew weak.

It had been going for many years, and with every passing year, Celestia looked older and older.

Eventually, the sun could not support plant life. Forests, fields and meadows all began to shrivel in the harsh, red light of the dying sun.

That’s when things truly fell apart.

Famine struck the land with the beasts of the world becoming more and more desperate for food, and attacking defenseless children.

They were truly the last days.

Soon there was no one left.

Nothing left.

Nothing but her.

She groaned once more, lifting the massive blight on the sky that was her angry, red sun.

“It’s...almost...time…” she said, throwing the sun across the sky.

How long had it been now?

She couldn’t remember.

It was somewhere between three weeks and twelve years.

She didn’t know.

She didn’t care.

She just had to do her job until it was her time.

Up came the sun.

And down it went.

Up.

Down.

Up.

Down.

“You’re almost there, Celly,” Death said, sitting next to her.

“Almost,” she groaned.

Up.

Down.

Up.

Down.

“It’s almost time,” Death said.

“I’ve waited so long…” she said.

“Only a moment longer.”

Up.

Down.

Up…

“There…” he said.

And the sun went super nova.

<<<|Ω|>>>

Celestia’s eyes went wide.

It...It had just ended.

And...and now…

She looked out at the millions of flowers.

And among the flowers stood a million ponies, ponies she knew.

At their head stood Alan, who smiled as he drew his blade. “Pendragons! Atten-shun!”

The ponies snapped to attention.

“Pre-sent arms!”

A million blades flashed in the light, and together, they divided into columns, presenting a long, single corridor for her to walk down.

She took a moment, straightened herself, and walked forward with practiced grace befitting of a Princess.

Halfway through, this was cut off by the a sudden cry. “Dogpile!”

Celestia’s eyes went wide as every single one of her Pendragons from Alan on down leapt up into the air to tackle her, blades lying forgotten in the flowers.

Then they began to laugh.

They all moved off of her in a mess of golden hooves, before finally she was finally offered a hoof to pull her up. “Sorry Celestia,” Alan said. “But Faust says we're all Princes and Princess here. So no special treatment from us, alright?”

Celestia’s head spun, still dizzy from the sudden attack.

And then she looked down at him and smiled. “I think I’ll manage.”

He nodded, and then he looked backwards, toward the crest of the hill.

Celestia followed his gaze.

“And there stood Faust, on the top of the hill, slowly walking down with a book and quill, dictating as she wrote and walked.”

Celestia blinked, watching her mother come toward her.

“The quill moved quickly, never breaking for ink and not once slowing as she spoke. As she moved closer, Celestia then realized that this book, the one Faust wrote in, was the book of the world. The story of reality.

“And then Faust looked up at her daughter, her firstborn. The one who had suffered the most of the four, and she said two words. Welcome home.”

Celestia smiled.

“And then Faust turned back to the book, dictating as she went, and wrote these final words: Thus ends the story of this Equestria, and while many more exist, those stories are not recorded here. And then with a smile, she slammed the book shut.”

Alright, guys, that's it. That's the story. I'm going to keep writing, but not this. This is done.

Here's the next project, but I'm going to take a long break first.
