Whispers

There it stood, in all it's glory. The tree of harmony, a meter away from Darkness. Only, it wasn't Darkness... It was the unnamed pony. Her coat was once again grey, and her eyes innocent. She stood, paralyzed, looking at her reflection through the tree's crystal bark. She heard a voice, a gentle voice. "Is this who you want to be?" The mare looked down in confusion.

"I never had  a choice..."

"Answer me, Is this who you want to be?"

"It's not... I just want to be loved... Is that too much?" She began to cry, her tears salty and bitter, like she was.

"Do not cry. I understand how you feel. I too walked your own path. Every step. I regret doing so, I wanted love, but I was welcomed with screams, not of delight, but terror. It's not worth it, Darkness." Another familiar voice reassuringly said.

"If you want to be loved, you need to work for respect. You can't just expect the world to adore you if you become a dictator." A different voice spoke.

"Wait... Luna? Celestia? Twilight? Why are you talking to me? Why are you looking at me?"

"Because we understand. Its normal to feel alone, especially when you went through what you went through!" Luna softly smiled.

"Understand? You wouldn't understand! You've been pampered all your lives! You weren't homeless for your childhood, you didn't have apple cores in your tangled mane, which wasn't even yours to finish! You weren't looked down upon and thought of as a dirty freak! You were looked highly for! You were the ones with responsibilities I would have held high upon my shoulders!"

"And  I lost my sister for 1000 years." Celestia sniffed.

"I watched the people i cared about suffer due to my own selfishness!" Twilight cried.

"I spent my days on exile far from civilization, I hadn't seen anypony from up there. Is it better to be alone, or rather looked down upon and still with people?"

"Alone!" The unnamed pony shrieked.

Suddenly, Celestia broke out into a song. The other princesses joined her later.

I watched the world I cared for,

be turned around several times,

I stared at the moon,

knowing that I had no way to stop my eternal mourning,

knowing i'd live in immortal regret,

until she'd return

I listened at the silence of the night,

hoping for a sign to lead me home,

I'd look back, wondering,

questioning myself again and again how I betrayed them all,

questioning myself how I betrayed them all without a tear,

I had to keep rocking myself to sleep,

just for me to stop repeating those words,

until the day I would return

I know how hard it is to keep going,

especially when they all want you to stop,

I know how it feels to cry and wonder how I got myself here,

I know how it feels to be let down and disheartened,

but you have to look up at the sky,

and keep going forward!

Just keep flying!

Just keep soaring,

looking towards a happily ever after,

lets make it,

can't make it unless we're

TOGETHER!

Just keep flying!

Just keep soaring,

looking towards a happily ever after,

lets make it,

can't make it unless we're

TOGETHER!

The mare tossed her hair to the side, she didn't understand.

"Our time is short, do what is right!"

"But... What is right?"

"Listen to your heart! Not Darkness' heart!"
