The Night She Fled

The great reaper sighed out. Even more blood. Not one single time could they fight using their power. He gave it graciously, but each one in turn let it waste. He was disgusted in them. Why did she have them? Why did they eyes go to her? They were a strange magic indeed. Even Fate itself had no control. But time to release the...

The eyes were Starlight's once more. No longer the pearl but back to the midnight blue. Her coat was cold but it still ruffled in the wind. Poor thing... Never stood a chance. Oh well. With a great heave the tie of life severed. It would be a long journey. The hourglass turned, and faded out of existence. Another day, another soul.

Starlight looked on into the great field in disbelief. Was she... No. Could it be? It can't be... Is it? She... died... And now she watched as her memories floated on both sides. Each one flying past, but invoking powerful emotions. Each memory their own. She walked through the field of memories. One by one they came, and one by one they passed. Visions of her parents, of her life in Ponyville, of the new night and dreams she had. For some reason though, she found out something interesting... Her eyes were her own in her memories. But she could've sworn... Enough. This wasn't the time. This was time to reflect not ponder. This was when she could relive the good and bad. See her life as it was. It was good for all it was worth. It wasn't until lately she actually had problems. Oh well, she'll watch the time pass by.

"Don't rest yet." A voice chimed. This voice was as melodic and soothing as her mother's. She felt relaxed in it. But why can't she rest? "You can rest later young one. For now watch time for it will pass by once. See the issues as it comes and the ways you lived. I'm sending you back, but with new memories." Then it flooded into the visions. Each time she died. Even this time. But with pearl eyes. Pearl eyes. The sign of the gift given to those who shall change the world. She failed in that aspect didn't she? "You never failed. In that life you showed Luna her strength. It was because of you she got her determination to rule with her sister." I... I caused that? But how? "In due time. For now, go back the way you came." Starlight did as instructed, and was brought to the realm of the living once again. But for this time, she would be reborn and again be the pony she never thought she would be. She'll be someone new. Reborn once again to be some catalyst to a great event. The next in line to the new world. She didn't wait in line. She walked right by. She cared little. She was important. And for once she would be the greatest person she could be.
