Alone in Equestria

Today was a day like any other has been. I slept poorly last night, and woke up to the sensation of sweat dripping of my coat. Nightmares, again. This time it was different though, I dreamt that Discord had taken my life, but I just, kept on living, I was forced to watch my friends tears of sadness and that hurt more than the knife that had just penetrated my chest.

I took a different route to Rarity's house today, one that took me by the ruins of The Sun Shrine. Once, this place of worship was a magical place, people from all corners of Equestria would come to visit this holy place, but look at it now. The once bright colours are now faded, and the statues battered. During the era of peace, you could hear the prayers, and the happy cheers on the one time Celestia herself came down to the shrine. Now, all I hear are the screams of terror that echoed around here as the last stronghold against Discord and Chrysalis.

I finally reach Rarity's old place of work and when I go through the door, I'm greeted by a sight that will haunt me forever. Rarity, I'm sorry. Opal is dead, she passed away in the dead of the night, at least, that's what my magic diagnosis tells me. Why is still what I'm trying to work out. Maybe because of... Sadness, she hasn't seen her owner for months now, and she was getting more reluctant to move everyday I saw her. Well, she suffers no more, and I gave her a proper burial next to where I made a memorial for her owner.

I walk out of the now abandoned boutique, no inhabitants, and no hope of anyone needing to return. I finished the rest of my pet run surprisingly quickly today, and was glad to just sit down at home, and linger in my thoughts. I'll write a letter, to Celestia. She may not be alive anymore, but I'm sure it will do my guilty conscious good, after my sorrow today.

Dear Princess Celestia

You may not be with us anymore, but I'm writing this to

put my troubled mind to rest. I listened to your final moments

And I only wish I could have done something to help. My life is

now a dark abyss of sadness, of which I'm forever falling down.

You may know I am the last pony in Equestria. But to add to my

sorrow, I could have helped my friends. This is the guilt that will

stay with me forever. When all of them faced their oncoming

demise, there was a window of opportunity of which I had a

chance to step in. But, I did not, I watched in fear as part of my

life was slowly ripped apart from me, one by one.

This ends my final letter to you, Princess Celestia.

Your student forever, Twilight Sparkle, the last pony in Equestria.

I use my magic to send my letter, using a spell that Celestia taught me, in case of emergency, I would have to use this spell. 3:00pm, time for Disord's torment. I only listen to him because I feel this is my only form of conversation, and the fact it takes my mind of my previous experiences. I walk over to my bed, sit down on it, and turn on the beaten radio.

That's odd. The broadcast has not started, and it is 3:15. Discord is never late, nor is Chrysalis. Is this their new form of torture? Not saying anything at all? But finally, in the darkest part of my house, sound finally comes from the radio. Not one that reminds me of my guilt, or one that tells tells me I'm alone. No, I'm greeted by a voice that sparks life into my heart again.

"He-Hello? This is Applejack, Element of Honesty, can anyone hear me?"
