The Secret Mentor

The sky was full with dark clouds. Not a ray of sunlight came through them. Not a single bird or animal could be heard. It was if the world stood silent for the final battle that would commence in that spot in mere minutes.

Twilight Sparkle was standing there between her once greatest friends and allies, and possibly her greatest enemy. To her left stood her Ponyville friends, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence and hundreds of Royal guards. To her right – the one she called her friend for the longest of times.

Twilight looked at her friends. Their faces showed no signs of mercy or sympathy. Instead they were filled with anger and determination pointed at the other pony. All of the princesses looked no different; they were ready to charge and finish this once and for all.

She then looked to her right, and saw her friend and mentor. He also looked very determined to finish this. But when he looked at her, she saw something in his eyes. There was no anger pointed at her, instead it was acceptance. She knew he would never judge her, he would accept her and she would be safe with him. But was it the right choice?

Finally the pony spoke: “Make your choice Twilight. We are all waiting.” He finished the sentence with a grin on his face.

“I... I...,” Twilight hesitated.

But then Celestia interfered: “Twilight, please! This isn’t who you are! Please, don’t do this!”

At that moment there was battle going on inside Twilight. What should she do? She closed her eyes and couldn’t help but ask herself: “How did it all come down to this?”
