"Are you sure this will work?" Twilight asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It worked on your brother and those other guards, didn't it?" Zorann smiled.

"Yes, but that was only six ponies." Twilight replied. "But this is all the ponies you killed AS WELL AS the ones who died during the Horde invasion."

Zorann shrugged. "And?"

"... it's a lot of ponies!" Twilight cried. "Nearly three hundred!"

"You let me worry about that." Zorann sighed. "Now hush, I need to concentrate, and you're putting me off."

Twilight sat down. Zorann turned away from her and closed his eyes. Soon, he was deep in concentration, his hands flowing with the same energy he used on Shining Armour.

"I don't think this is gonna work." Rainbow Dash whispered.

"We have to try!" Rarity hissed.

"I hope it does work!" Pinkie Pie chimed. "That way I can throw a huge 'Welcome Back From The Dead, We Beat The Horde' party!"

The others looked at her.

"What?" she asked quizzically.

"You never spoke the whole time we were in Azeroth," said Applejack, "but now you're actin' like you never left. What gives?"

"That place made me sad." Pinkie said quietly, her mane deflating slightly. "You can't enjoy yourself in a place like that."

The others wrapped her in a hug, bringing her mane back to its usual bounce.

A cough brought them back to the situation at hand.

"You were saying it wouldn't work?" Zorann said, a smug grin on his face. "Well I think you can eat those words."

Glancing behind him, the six mares gasped. Stumbling around in confusion were several ponies, who moments ago had been lying dead on the ground.

"I-I-I don't believe it!" Twilight stammered.

"Never underestimate the power of life." Zorann said. "Now, I believe that my part of the deal is done. Luxxoria has told me to tell you she's waiting for you at the library."

"Is she going to show us magic?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Yes, she is." Zorann nodded. "And once she's done, we shall leave Equestria, and find a new place to call home."

"Garrosh is dead, why not rejoin the Horde?" asked Rarity.

"No." said Zorann, his eyes flashing with anger. "I'm done with the Horde. Baine Bloodhoof may be Warchief now, but the Horde will remain as bloodthirsty as ever."

Rarity smiled and placed a hoof gently on his hand.

"You don't have to demean yourself any longer." she said softly. "You have a right to live in peace, away from the horrors of war."

Zorann returned the smile.

"Come on," he said quickly, "Luxxoria is waiting for you."

As they stood up to leave, they paused to enjoy the scene in front of them as families and friends were reunited with each other.

"You did a good thing." Twilight said, nodding at Zorann.

"I know." he replied. "But I still need to apologise for killing them in the first place."

The seven of them walked away from the market and towards the library, where Luxxoria was waiting with folded arms and a stern look on her face.

"It's about damn time!" she yelled as they approached. "If I had been kept waiting any longer, you'd have to have resurrected ME after I died of boredom!"

Zorann laughed.

"Sorry," he said, "but we just had to watch the ponies being reunited with their loved ones. It felt good."

Luxxoria's face softened as she smiled.

"I'm sure it was." She looked at the six mares. "Now, are you ready to learn magic?"

"We sure are!" said Applejack.

"Very well then." Luxxoria replied with another smile. "In you go." She opened the door and waited for the ponies to trot inside before turning to Zorann.

"After this, where do we go from here?" she asked him.

He shrugged. "Honestly?"

Luxxoria nodded.

"... I don't want to go anywhere."

Luxxoria smiled and led her friend into the library, closing the door softly behind them.
