Alone in Equestria

My name is Twilight Sparkle, weilder of the Magic Element Of Harmony. After the royal wedding everything was perfect, nothing that disturbed the peace of the land, and no need to use the Elements. But, I had a feeling, a feeling of impending doom loomed over us, but I was the only one who sensed it. All the time, whenever I spoke out it's always "You're Paranoid Twilight!" I wasn't. Discord had Returned, and teamed up with changling queen, Chrysalis. I find myself as the only pony left in Ponyville, heck, Equestria even. One by one, I saw my friends disapear, starting with those who the duo saw as a threat. First Applejack, Honesty. Then, Rainbow Dash, Loyalty. Next, Pinkie Pie, Laughter. Finally, Fluttershy, Kindness and Rarity, Generosity. And now, I remain, this was his plan, to leave me... Alone.

Today was just the same for me, get up, have breakfast, and walk the streets of the desolate town, Ponyville. The once colourful walls, that showed life and spirit, were now drained, No colour, no life, just grey. I walk over to Rarity's house first, Carousel Boutique, to care for Opal. This is what I do now, the companions of my dead friends are now my only form of sanity. Were it not for them, I would of suffered the same fate as many others had before.

As I exit the fasion unicorns old home, I stare at the floor, looking at the blood that stains the floor, this is the only bit of colour that remains. Those who were lucky, were killed by Discord. Others, took their own life. I however, refuse to kill myself, I know what my friends would've wanted, for me not to suffer. But, with their pets that remain, they are the only source of happiness that touches my broken soul.

I look up at the sky, and there floats a rather disfigured cloud palace, old home to the Wielder of Loyalty. Upon further inspection, I realise that the sun was not in the sky, I remember why. There was a radio broadcast that day, it was huge, 'SUN AND MOON SET FOREVER' Discord and Chrysalis had announced the defeat of Luna and Celestia, who fell into the dark abyss known as death. The announcement included the princesses final words and the cries of terror and sadness as they clung on to each other, staring at their coming demise.

I teleport myself up to the cloud home, and with the pony enchantment for cloud walking, I feed Tank, who was as sad and lonely as the once regal cat, Opal. After feeding nd caring for the tortoise, I fly over to the Sweet Apple Acres, and I do my same routine for the farm pony's dog.

The trees at the farm are all grey, they bare no leaves, and the wood has rotted to the core. No apples have grown here for months and the sense of gloom is much more amplified here than anywhere else. In the distance I see a collapsed tree house, it was of course the remains of the Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse. I turn away instantly, and she'd a tear as I remember the screams of pain those poor, poor fillies let out in their last heart beats.

I start to head back into to town, Gummy and ALL of of Fluttershy's animals had returned to the wild, and left their old homes to take the course of time. Avoiding the stains of crimson red on the floor I trot on towards the library, which now as only one inhabitant; me. Spike had disappeared long ago, trying to protect Rarity, I presume. As for Owlicious, she had escaped the gloomy wasteland that is Equestria, and now lives on the other side of the planet. I know this because I had tracked her, put a device on her right talon, and it allows me to find her location at any time. Though, she had completely disappeared of the map after a few months of 'King' Discord's reign.

I approach the door of the library, the tree it lives in now grey and rotten and the windows shattered. Before I step in I look towards Canterlot, as see the large black vortex that circles the castle's throne room. Up to this day I have never worked out why the cloud like tornado is there, but I know that changling patrols are always searching there. Which reminds me, changelings. They have often toyed with my tormented heart and taken the form of an old friend of mine, I always used to fall for the tricks and embraced the faker in a hug of relief, it always ended up though with me grasping the cold damp air as the only glimmer of hope, even if it was false, evaporated and blew away, leaving me all alone once again.

I step into the place I call home and switch on the lights, there is a delay but it finally flicks on. The lighting flickers on and off frequently as I go around my business in the library, like a power cut that just keeps happening. I walk up to the table that stands by my bed and switch on the radio.

"Hello residents of Equestria, or should I really say Twilight Sparkle! It is King Discord here, reminding you Twilight that you are alone!"

Discord. Again, his daily torture for me. Everyday he reminds me on how sad and lonely I am here, and how I failed to keep my friends alive. I hang my head as my thoughts wallow in despair and sorrow. I climb into bed and turn the radio off. This is my only escape, my only safe haven, my dreams. The one place where I can still laugh and smile.  I stare at Spikes old bed for a short second and then turn off the lights. I start to cry as I remember the cries for help my friends had made as they took their final stand. Those cries for help.

The help that never came.
