Everything was numb. Last thing Cloaked eyes remembered was a sharp pain in her spine, being thrown away, and a head pain. She was now bound in a bed, a soft beep of a heart monitor still going, the pale light from the window as it lit the hospital room. She now felt a large brace up her spine. No one was there, so she just lay in peace. she must have been there for nearly an hour, and almost fell back asleep when she heard the small squeak of the door, and a red pegasus stepped through. Hacksaw. He silently made his way to the bedside, and Eyes decided to not move and hear what he has to say.

"Hey, Eyes. I think we finally did it. 10 million Zebra warriors are invading YakYakistan as I speak. I just wish you were here to see it. You know, you should see Tact. It's tearing him apart that he let this happen to one of his team, and were like a family. He cares for you, me, and Blade like kids, you know. Same with Dagger. And it's all I can do not to call them mom or dad. It was nicer when you were always lightening the mood. All I can do is make a verbal klutz of myself, but it makes people happier, so I do what I have to. You kept the balance within our family, you know. I met Rainbow Dash, Spitfire, and Soarin yesterday. All of us got an autographed poster for, well, saving their lives in the same battle that did this to you. I got 2 though. I know your favorite was Rainbow dash, so I got an extra with her on it. I can't really do much else for you at the moment, but Tact is really falling apart. But, he's nothing compared to Jagged. She's actually locked herself in a room. I hope you wake up soon." Eyes felt a large roll of paper begin to nuzzle next to her, and grabbed it. Hacksaw jumped, and let out a yelp.

"Thanks, You know me so well. Do I really mean that much to the team?"

"Firstly, you scared the absolute living fuck out of me. Second, of course you do. Dagger just went into her room after the Visit to the Zebra tribe. You should have SEEN it! It was literally half of the world turned into a- I'm not sure there's a word for something like that. It's a giant city. I had an absolute field day in their armory. did you know there's a type of bow that fires when you pull the trigger, and it's rapid?"

"That's you. Not even 10 minutes since we've met after the whole coma thing, and you're already gushing over your new gadgets."

"Sorry, but I can't help it. An automatic crossbow!"

"Shush. You wanna go free Dagger from her room?"

"Just how long were you awake?"

"Nearly an hour before you showed up."

Here it was. The old iron gate into the mansion. The white cast the hospital had given her up along her back was contrasting horribly with her all black coat and mane. It was an extravagant place, to say the least. A gate on a bush wall with concrete in it and a path leading to a colossal white mansion it had a very grim vibe, and seemed almost dead. That was something Eyes had to fix. She never realized the impact she had on everypony else. Hacksaw opened the gates for her. She slowly walked up the path, careful not to damage her back any. When she began going up the walkway, she felt a certain sense of home return to her. She was before the tall double doors now, and they too were opened for her by the engineer. She found her way to the staircase, and carefully made her way up her hoofsteps were still slightly shaky, but she made her way up. She was then guided to a door, which Hacksaw knocked on.

They then heard a muffled "Go Away." from Dagger.

"Fine then. I'll just go say hi to Blade." If she really did that, she might get her back broken by a hug. There was a muffled thump, and hoofsteps to the door. The door swung open-

Dagger woke up, sweating. She was in her room, and it was barely morning. She was now sitting up. Then, as reality sank in, she fell back. It was a dream. Just a dream. Even if it was only a dream, it had more reality than reality itself. Everything had only gone downhill since she died, except for the fact that the war was pretty much won. Yaks were nearly extinct, and Minotaurs ran away when they saw where this was going. The zebra forces stayed for a day, decimated the Yaks, and left. It was wonderful. There were still the near cataclysmic casualties and the fact that less that 100 soldiers out of nearly 3,000,000 were unharmed. Even Shining Armor nearly got pummeled. They would have to all move closer to Canterot to survive as a species, just so no new threats can appear. The changelings weren't worse off, and neither were the griffons. Chrysalis and the Griffon King both moved into Canterlot, at least for the time being. Unlike whenever they won any other battles, or wars, there was no celebration. They were war heroes, however. They along with the 3 wonderbolts they had rescued have been offered rooms at the palace, and seats for the royal dinner tonight. It was too early to think about dinner, as it was time for breakfast. There was food already prepared, so she just opened the fridge and grabbed a sandwich. She didn't want to admit it, but she took a liking to the meat back in the Griffon kingdom, so she made a sandwich with some and saved it for whenever. She needed a pick-me-up right now, so now was as good a time as any other. She just sat in the kitchen, eating in the dark, sad silence. She finished duly, and began her way to the hospital where Eyes had been transferred to from ponyville. She got a carriage once she was out of the gate, and just arrived at Canterlot Hero Hospital. She entered, and walked up to the service desk.

"Hello? How may I help you."

"Here to see Cloaked Eyes." That made the mare behind the desk pause, fake smile instantly out the window.

"I'm sorry, but-" She trailed off. Dagger has had her life thrown into a lava pit 3 times over and off so many cliffs, but this was one of the absolute worst thing she could have ever thought of. "She, well, passed away last night." Dagger, barely holding herself together, just turned and left. The carriage was still there, and she was home in what felt like a split second. Crying on her bed. The world darkening around her to the shade of Eyes's coat and mane. All she could do was move on. But, damn, she was even more than a daughter. It was insane, how fast can take a few lives and just flip them into a fiery pit of death. Normally, she would come out stronger, but this was too much. She grabbed her namesake, rolled over onto her back, and paused. Life as she knew it was over. She plunged the dagger into her throat, and life itself was over. Only the trickling blood to comfort her.
