Purple banners were decorating all Canterlot. Even the traditional Canterlot's Palace flags and banners holding Equestria symbol and the Princesses cutie mark were replaced by light purple one, all bearing a big purple star surrounded by small white stars.
Lots of important ponies were assisting at this major event of the history of Equestria. Ponies from across Equestria were crowded at the side at the main street of Canterlot. Friends and family of the pony that was the in honor today were here too.

But instead of the smiles and cheers like Princess Celestia had expected for a day like today, everypony was holding the event on a different way. She had to hold herself a stoic expression even if her heart wanted to be more open like the crying family at her side. Giving a last look at one of the banner wearing her student cutie mark, glaring at the black ribbon crossing one of the corner, Princess Celestia, Diarch of Equestria and a lot of title she did not care at this instant, marched upon the balcony for a meaningless speech at Twilight Sparkle's funeral.

Take place after a different ending for the season 3.
