The SS

Twilight let out a sigh. So much had happened that day. Equestria nearly got taken over, she had adsorbed three different types of power, and most importantly, she defeated a powerful foe and had gotten herself a new home.

It towered over the rest of Ponyville, glittering brilliantly as she and her friends stared up at it. Made completely of pure crystal. Twilight was glad that Spike hadn’t decided to eat it yet.

He clambered into her new, clean bed, sniffing in the new smell as she used her magic to cast her covers over her. “Ah, lavender.” It seemed the magical box that helped them defeat Tirek also knew what one of her favourite smells was.

Finally, Equestria was at peace for another day. Twilight sat back into her pillow, exhaled, and slowly fell asleep.

Celestia was waiting outside her window, staring at the moon that was slowly being raised by her younger sister. Looking down at her former-student’s village, she could see her new castle, twinkling in the distance. She sighed, both happily and sadly. She was proud to see how much Twilight had grown and learned, now that she had evolved into the pony she was now. But at the same time, despite the castle’s beauty, she couldn’t help but feel a strange aura coming off it.

She pushed this strange feeling to the back of her mind, and returned back to her sleeping dorms. She knew that something was coming, and that for the first time in a very long time, it wouldn’t be Twilight Sparkle to predict it.
