The Golden Kingdom
Chapter #6 Lifting the curse, ending a life (Final)
Previous ChapterWhile Twilight was learning what she must do, Applejack and Rarity were looking for an infant animal, luckily there was a traveling petting zoo that had baby calves. It did cost a lot but using the money the princess gave them they bought the calve. When they were heading back a guard fell asleep on the top of the castle, letting his spear drop down, Rarity was lucky to spot it in time to save Applejack's life but she was in the way of the spear when it landed. it landed right in her back she knew she only had a few hours before she would go into shock and die.
She told applejack "Hurry Applejack hurry and get the curse lifted it's our only hope of surviving! Get the animal to Celestia she knows what to do!" And with that Applejack quickly galloped towards the castle doors dashed up the stairs and into the throne room. She saw Twilight looking depressed and Celestia looking depressed as well. After being told what had to be done she teared up.
But was reassured by a smirking Twilight as she said "It's ok Aj it's just one of those things that needs to happen" After she said that she asked Applejack her last request "Applejack?"
"Yeah?" Applejack answered
"When I get my horn cut I want you to end my pain. Please it's my final request."
Applejack starts to cry and says "Ok Twilight I-I'll do it... For you."
Twilight laid her head on the table and says "Thank you." Meanwhile Rarity is in the hospital for the fatal wound. She prays to herself that the curse will be lifted and she will be fine. She keeps repeating that over and over again until it becomes true. Back at the castle Celestia sharpens the blade and gets ready to do the procedure. When Celestia starts to cut the infant cow the blood comes seeping out from the cut. Crying from the calve could be heard Applejack covered her ears to save herself the misery of having to listen to the death of a life that did not get to live it. When the blood drips off the blade and onto the horn of Twilight Celestia starts to cut the horn off. At this moment both Applejack and Rarity hear two things moaning but in a deeper and more demonic tone and death bells.
Then they here the demonic voice go "No NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO!" Applejack suddenly realizes that the moaning was Darkhorn being defeated. After a few seconds the princess has only one cut then the horn will be off. She slices it of having Twilight moan and scream in pain.
Twilight then yells "Aj... DO IT!! NOWWW! Applejack quickly grabs the blade from Celestia and points in over Twilight's head, it would be quick and painless.
Applejack then says "I'm sorry Twi, see you in the next life... I love you!" She then drives the blade straight through her head she could feel the skull cracking from the blade. When she pulled out the knife she knew Twilight was surely gone.
Celestia then says "It's done the curse is lifted." Suddenly they hear loud screaming they see the face of Darkhorn rise from the detached horn of Twilight's. While this was happening Rarity's wounds were healing and she kept feeling better after every second. After she was able to walk she ran straight towards the castle, but when she got to the throne room she saw Applejack looking down at Twilight's lifeless body with a bloodied blade next to her. Rarity rushed to where Applejack and Twilight's body was.
Applejack stopped her saying "She gone Rarity, but she wanted this. She didn't want to suffer."
Rarity then asked "Where do you think she is now?" while sniffling and tearing up.
"I bet she's right above us with the others, in that golden kingdom. Where one day we will meet them. They will be waiting for us. They will rush to us when we meet them there with hugs and blessings.
"Twilight. Twilight! when Twilight opened her eyes she found herself in a place made of gold and clouds, and around her she saw her friends who passed before her, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy.
Pinkie pie was standing in front of her with a smile on her face and said Gosh Twilight we've been waiting for you for a really really reeeaaallly long time.
"Yeah, what took ya?" asked Rainbow Dash
"W-why are you all so happy, don't you know your dead?" asked Twilight with amazement.
"Well yes we know were in the golden kingdom where all the ponies who pass away go, and here sadness nor pain exists." Fluttershy added.
"Well who wants to check out the place huh?" Asked Rainbow dash with enthusiasm
"Oh I would love to" said Fluttershy
"Oh Totally!!!" said Pinkie with a lot of energy
"I would like that" Said Twilight.
