Liana; Bravery is Magic

I'm going to miss you all...

Those words run through my mind as I lay there in my hospital bed, dying. my closest (and only) friend is there, watching me like a guardian angel. He's protecting me...I'll miss him most. My mother, Chrysalis is crying, her tears soaking the floor. Chocolate Cone (my friend) is holding my hoof and he tries to keep a smile despite my appearance, strapped to this bed with tubes up my snout and needles in my forelegs. His eyes are puffy and red.

It's funny, my mom always said when ponies die, they always think about their own experiences.

I never thought once about my own experiences, but the experiences of others.

"C-cone..."

The first word I spoke since we got to the hospital. My voice is cracked and dry. I sounded like someone was hacking away at my voice muscles. He immediately jolted up and leaned in close. "Y-yeah?" He asked in his sweet and considerate voice. I smiled. I then asked, "Please...take...good care of my mom...and brothers?"

"Like they were my own family..." he replied, tears starting to form again as he smiled weakly.

I smiled. "Th...thank you..." I then faced my head to the ceiling again, and the room started growing brighter. "S-so...this is it...my journey with...with everypony...ends..."

I smiled and looked to Cone. "Y-you better visit my grave everyday and tell me the news, you dork..."

He laughed lightheartedly and nodded. "I will."

And so, the Changeling filly once named Liana slipped into her coma, which soon became the cold embrace of death. As her eyes rolled into her head, her face had a smile, which still lit up the room despite her now limp and unmoving body. Cone cried deeply and hard and he leaned in. He knew she wasn't fullydead, so he wanted her to remember him with a kiss. So he mashed her lips into his and kissed her.

Ah, but this isn't the beginning...only the beginning...of the end...
