Voyage of the Unforgotten!
Epilogue~

Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V

One year later....

“So today, as you all embark on a new journey into the real world, you all are no longer little weak lambs, but you guys are strong lions getting ready to pounce over the obstacles that you will face when you all go college,” Twilight spoke into the microphone with such determination in her diction.

So, it’s been a whole year that my friends and I been in America, and now we are sitting in the Canterlot High auditorium, with our royal blue cap and gowns, and attentively listening to Twilight’s valedictorian speech. I would say that our little update of our lives is just getting ready to officially graduate.

On all honesty, everyone looks completely different. Twilight gotten taller, Sunset’s voice got deeper, Pinkie got more chunky, Fluttershy got more skinner, Rarity gained a little weight, Applejack became a giant, and me? I am the same height, but boy did I gain so much weight! I don’t know if it was stress or whatever it was, but if you saw me in the mirror, the first thing you’ll notice is probably my ass, and then my thighs.

I began to shake my head in disgust while thinking about Soarin’s reaction to me. Speaking of Soarin, we haven’t talked in so long in our little Discord chat. I know he’s busy working in the mango cove, but at least shoot me a text or something for me to know that you’re okay.

My mind was so focused on my thoughts of Soarin that I didn’t even notice Twilight sitting down while everyone else was giving her a round of applause. Applejack sat right next to me, cocking her head to the side wondering why I wasn’t clapping.

I snuck under the chairs to grab my little bag that I carried with me and grabbed the tiny plush version of Soarin. I clutched onto it deeply as the soft fabric brushed against my skin as I closed my eyes reminiscing over Soarin’s embrace, wishing he was here. Applejack ended up nudging me, and that’s when my mind went back to the right track. I shook my head softly at her as she stared into my eyes deeply, then forwarded her eyes to the little plush doll before the heat in my face appeared.

“Ya might wanna do that a little later, don’t ya think?” She smirked down at me while putting the plush back inside my bag on the floor.

The ceremony continued but I honestly wanted to get out of there as fast as possible and find the quickest way out of here. I felt deeply vulnerable over the fact that Soarin isn’t here seeing me and the girls graduating. I don’t even know why I was still here. I know I am getting my diploma soon, but other than that, it’s not like I would get an award or anything.

We already know who the two people getting the most rewards. Twilight Sparkle and her girlfriend Sunset Shimmer. It’s funny how both of them got the highest averages in the school. I mean, without a doubt we all knew Twilight would become valedictorian and Sunset as the salutatorian. I wasn’t jealous of them or anything, I was super elated for them both! Still thinking about how Soarin, Monoko, and my parents are doing made me simply misunderstood Vice Principal Luna’s announcement. I eventually just happened to spot all my friends walking to the stage, where there led a line of students piling by the wall waiting to hear their names. I dashed over to the side and met up with Pinkie Pie, who was jumping up and down in excitement!

“Ohhh Dashie! I can’t believe in a few minutes we would be wrapping out little tiny fingers around our diplomas!” She squealed before hugging me from behind, resting her weight against my back. “Are you excited?”

I was ready for this moment more than anyone else. In a few minutes after this ceremony is over, I will try to give Soarin a call to see how he is doing. Due to the time now, which was 10:56am, and usually it’s about 9:26pm over there, I would like to hurry this along so I can at least get Soarin on time. I guess I’ve been zoning out about Soarin so much lately, I completely forgot that Pinkie asked me a question, and it took me at least five minutes to figure it out.

“Oh, uh, gosh, sorry Pinkie,” I groaned before I smacked my forehead in disbelief. Pinkie patted my back assuming that she knew that I was thinking about Soarin too hard. “I was just thinking about-”

“Yeah I know you were thinking about Soarin again,” Pinkie smiled. “Don’t you worry Dashie, Soarin will be in your arms sooner or later! Only time will tell!”

“Yeah, I sure hope so.”

“And uh, you never answered my question,” Pinkie stared at me looking pretty upset over the fact that I didn’t even think about what she said made my heart drop.

“Oh dammit Pinkie Pie! I am so sorry, I’ve just been so nervous about Soarin lately,” I declared as my cap was falling down a little but Pinkie fixed it for me as Principal Celestia was calling more students across the stage. “Besides, I am pretty excited just to get my diploma since it was the only reason I came back here in the first place.”

“And yes darling, we all know you can’t wait to climb into Soarin’s arms once again,” Rarity interrupted our conversation while walking behind me and resting her head against my shoulder.

I nodded my head in agreement because I couldn’t bare anymore time without Soarin. I swear, ten months without your boyfriend can be tough. Trust me. Principal Celestia started calling Applejack’s name first then the line started to become shorter and shorter. All I wanted to hear was the consent form of us throwing our caps in the air, and then as AJ would say, “Imma gettin’!”

After a while, Fluttershy and Pinkie both walked across the stage to receive their diplomas, and that’s when my hands started to become sweaty. I was hoping they don’t acknowledge that I’m the princess of India or something falling down that line. I loved being noticed, but not like that! As Vice Principal Luna pulled out the next diploma from the basket, my heart started pounding like the way Pinkie plays her drums.

“We all wish to acknowledge Princess Rainbow Dash-”

“Oh fuck, they already said it!” I whispered to myself in my head, clenching my teeth and fist of the fact that they called me a princess, which I knew I was but literally, everyone was going to see that I was the Indian princess. Sometimes, I wish I wasn’t from a royal family.

“Who worked diligently throughout her senior year, and on behalf of the Canterlot High faculty and staff, we decided to award Rainbow Dash for the Canterlot Pride Coaches Award!” Principal Celestia spoke up into the microphone which led my ears to perk up instantly.

“Her wondrous spirit and her love everytime she comes into a practice session always made each of the coaches proud. Not only her attentive spirit the team feeds off on her, but her tremendous effort and encouraging skills really paid off her four years here at Canterlot High, so we would like to bestoy this trophy which would be kept at the school to show off your success and this plaque for you to keep at home to remember what it takes to be a leader here at this school!” She continued as the crowd of parents and students roared throughout the auditorium.

As if someone shot me right in the heart, I couldn’t believe that I was given the famous Canterlot Pride Coaches Award! Only the most successful athletes receive this award, and hearing that this award belongs to me made my eyes full of tears as I dashed onto the stage and hugged Principal Celestia ever so tightly. Everyone started taking pictures and celebrating for me which made me feel a small blush appear on my face. After I received my diploma and plaque, I rushed over to hug my friends before Principal Celestia tapped her index finger over the microphone.

“Now the moment you’ve all been waiting for,” She smiled as all the students started cheering uncontrollably. Everyone started hollering and making animal noises which sent me and Sunset Shimmer into laughing nonstop.

“I am pleased to announce that you can now turn your tassels over to the left and everyone please give a warm congratulations to the Class of 2018!”

After every single student dragged their tassels over to the left, we all our bursted into pure joy and relief! Sunset, Pinkie, and Applejack threw their caps in the air and started hugging one another. I for one didn’t want to throw my cap into the air only because I would have to go and search all over for it. Guessing Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy and I all had the same idea.

“Ah, this barbaric behavior amongst students who are now going forward into adulthood are acting like such roughians!”

“Oh Rarity, they are just celebrating,” Fluttershy comforted Rarity as she was shivering from the sight that she was seeing.

“The only reason why I wouldn’t DREAM of doing something so repulsive is due to the fact that I decorated my cap with the finest jewels,” Rarity boasted while bowing her head down to make sure we all saw it.

The decorations were a bright fuschia, something close to Pinkie’s hair color, and the jewels twinkled all throughout the room, blinding us. The words said “A queen never stoops down to the level of the unsuccessful” which made made ponder for quite some time. She picked up her head then gave a slight “hmph” as she brushed her dark violet curls to the side.

As the noise and the crowd of students hugging and taking selfies, Pinkie rushed us all outside for some photos due to the fact that outside had better lighting. We all found this lovely maple tree to take the photo under and of course, we were having a little trouble.

“Come on ladies, zip down the gown a little so we can flaunt over our dresses!” Pinkie chirped as she was making silly faces. “Oh, maybe take the caps off too, it’s boiling hot out here!”

Pinkie was right! It was about 95 degrees outside right now, and all I wanted to do was get back into the hotel we were staying in, and dip into the nice refreshing pool.

As the sweat from my forehead kept dripping down the sides of my face, I decided to take off my cap and fluff my hair a little bit for the photo. Pinkie ended up pulling me closer towards her for the photo, while everyone else joined in. After Pinkie took the photo, she decided to send it to everyone else and that’s when my father’s guards came out the auditorium making sure that I was okay.

“Are you alright your highness?” One of them asked me before I nodded my head in reply. All I wanted to do at the moment was make sure Soarin was okay. While I pondered a bit more, my phone started to vibrate really loudly. At first, I thought it was Pinkie who sent the group photo of us, but apparently when I looked at my phone screen, my face lit up as bright as the morning sun! I even screamed and couldn’t bare to miss this call.

“Oh my gosh! Soarin??!!” I exclaimed as I pressed the phone closer to my ear to make sure I could hear clearly. No one replied back for a little bit until there was a very loud rustling sound which made me jump a little. After the sound died down, there was a deep cough and then a small little chuckle which I knew who it came from.

“Ah, are you still at the ceremony? My fault!” A very deep masculine voice responded. I furrowed my eyebrows a little thinking to myself who was this person on the phone with a very deep yet sexy slender voice that sent shivers down my spine and made a deep blush smother across my face.

“Uh Soarin, is that you? And no, the ceremony ended not to long ago,” I replied back to the person, hoping it was Soarin.

“Yes my love it’s me, who do you think this is?” He laughed making me laugh so hard. It was so wonderful to hear his voice again! Twilight looked back at me and pointed to her watch indicating that we had to go out to eat to celebrate but I placed the phone against my chest and told her Soarin was on the phone.

“Yeah, hello? Sorry Twilight was asking me a question,” I explained to him before the same rustling sound came once again.

“Oh hey, no biggie! I thought I’d call you before I head to sleep, ya know? So, how ya been my love?” He asked while there was some murmuring going on in the background.

“I’ve been-”

“An emotional wreck without you!” Sunset shouted loud enough for Soarin to start bursting into laughter. I gave her a glare before she shrugged her shoulders then started to laugh herself.

“At least I’m being the honest one here!”

“Anywho, yes, I was an emotional wreck, but I am doing amazing because it’s so wonderful to hear your voice once again and I wanted to know why you haven’t been getting my calls on Discord or anything?”

“Oh man, about that….” Soarin’s voice went from elated to melancholy.

“I’ve been meaning to tell you that recently the connection over here has been the worst for the past couple of months, but this was the only opportunity I had to get to call you since I am technically at the internet station anyway. I made a deal with the manager if I get to call you on your graduation day, so here I am.” He continued before I heard a couple of voices in the background.

I honestly felt super terrible for getting upset at Soarin with my tone and also accusing him of not loving me anymore deep down in my inner thoughts. I gave a deep sigh before digging my fingers through my rainbow curls.

“Oh baby, I am so sorry the connection over there hasn’t been the best, but hey it’s so so awesome to hear your voice again!” I cried as a tiny dear drop trickled down my left cheek. Soarin started to coo a little before talking to some guys in the background.

“Gosh, I missed your adorable voice too and if you can, send me a photo of you and the girls if you don’t mind,” I heard him say before I chuckled myself. “I really want to see how much you’ve changed over the year.”

“I guess you can say that we all did, but what about you? How are things back in India?”

There was a long silence and that rustling sound once again, even the same voices from before. After a long period of waiting for Soarin to come back to the phone, he eventually started speaking again.

“Sorry Dashie, these guys are trying to work with me in giving me more time for more money, so what were you saying again hon?”

“Oh, I was saying how have you been and how are things over in India?” I repeated my statement from before as he was thinking hard in how his response would be.

“Well, I am not going to lie, but things have been pretty stressful especially with the workload in the coves,” He explained. “But, overall everything has been pretty well! I think your father is starting to approve me!”

“Oh my gosh, really?!” I screamed as my friends asked me if everything was okay with him. I nodded my head to reply to them as Soarin was still talking to me.

“Yeah! We went on a trip to New Delhi to help the sick children, and after my good works, he smiled at me and told me how good I am with children! Guessing he’s thinking about our future huh?”

Hearing Soarin’s question made my face burn from embarrassment until I heard him laughing on the other end.

“Soarin Alexander Rogelio Skies, you better take that back this instant!” I hollered at him before he started laughing even harder.

“Awwww, I missed hearing you being so defensive, it’s highly adorable and I bet your nose is scrunched up and your cheeks are extra puffy,” He stated before laughing a little bit more. “All I have to do now is wait to hear you speak big words to me and then that’s how I know you’re utterly upset.”

“Soarin you better stop being a vexatious individual before I come over there and start an altercation in the streets of Chennai myself!!” I fumed in anger as Soarin hummed a small tune which calmed my anger down.

“Awwww there’s the Dashie I know and love!” He purred into the phone before I started giggling. The muffled voices appeared once again before Soarin groaned in anger.

“Ah baby girl, I got to go now, but it was amazing to hear your voice again, and I’ll see you sooner than ya think! I love you so much baby!”

“I love you even more ya lovable dork! Take care of yourself and give my parents and Monoko my love for me!”

“Haha, will do babes,” He blurted out before the phone cut off immediately.

I didn’t care about anything else at this point, but just hearing Soarin’s adorable yet deep voice once again sent my heart fluttering into a bliss of happiness as I clutched onto my phone while blushing deeply. Rarity tapped my shoulder before I screamed in fright.

“I hate to interrupt your little fangirl session but we are waiting on you so we could have some dinner to celebrate, and by the way, the drinks are all on Pinkie Pie,” She whispered in my ear before the guards started piling us into the limo. After settling down into the limo, I decided to overview my year.

First off, last Summer has been one heck of a ride! I’ve been called back to India to fulfill a Polynesian prophecy in Gemporia, I’ve met Ramõn who turned out to be a changeling named Tiran, who ended up becoming a friend to us, I’ve befriended Shivani, Sunrise, Lilia, Amaranthine, and Ocean Wave, the five youngest unforgotten goddesses of Gemporia, I’ve made Sunset and Twilight a couple, I’ve became an unforgotten goddess myself, I’ve defeated Lord Tirek, and my best friend who I’ve known for ten years has become my boyfriend for the past eleven months.

And for this year, I’ve graduated with bronze honors, a athletic award with a golden plaque, and received my diploma! Now that I am here relaxing with the greatest friends on Earth and that Gemporia and India is safe from harm's way, what could possibly go wrong?

Somewhere in the deep depths of Tartarus….

??? P.O.V

The fresh droplets of rain showered the indigo sky as I trekked through the blistering weather conditions on this cold night. Even though the rain was making my vision quite blurry, I could still see that this was Tartarus by the roaring sounds of dangerous creatures. As I began to step foot on the inside of the chambers, a tall rather bod man secured the monstrous chambers and sharpened a spear to the deep ends of my neck.

“You aren’t supposed to be here!” The man commanded but I pay little attention to him as he blocked the door to whom I wished to speak too.

“I have a very valid reason to speak with him, so step aside soldier, I rest on no flesh and blood,” I snarled at him as I placed the little photo I had in my arms into his and he finally shook his head.

“Very well then, you may proceed, but look no further for his anger will never back down,” The man stated before opening the door for me to walk into.

The room was full of messy and old drapes that hung over the shattered windows. Over the dark and lonely walls, splattered blood and the forbidden chamber only held a blood thirst king who only strived for getting what he desired.

“What are you doing here?!” A deep yet irritated male voice questioned me as I felt a huge lump in my throat as I walked closer and closer to the cell.

“The twelfth goddess has been restored.”

Nothing but utter silence filled the room as you barely even heard a pindrop. My hands started vibrating against my flesh as my breath shortened every time I heard him growl and clench his jaw. The sharp sounds his teeth made as his growling became more louder and his breathing much shorter than mine, made me almost jump for protection.

“What did you say?!” He hissed as his voice echoed throughout the room as my nerves were completely shot from the tone of his voice.

“I said the t-twelfth goddess has been restored your highness and they had a celebration in Gemporia not too long ago and so I brought this footage of the ceremony that took place,” I repeated as what it seemed his breath immediately stopped once the word footage brushed past his ear. I placed the photo, the same photo which I gave to the guard at the door, onto the ground near the cell as his dark gray claws pierced into the photo immensely. For some reason, he began to give that creepy chuckle he always does once he thinks of a devious plan.

“Rainbow Dash~” He slithered as he clenched onto the photo before letting out a horrid and more devilish chortle. “She’s Phyra’s daughter isn’t she?”

“Yes your highness, she’s fulfilled the Polynesian prophecy and she has regained Amaani’s trust!” I growled only reminiscing the times where I used to be Amaani’s pupil, but those days are over.

“Oh come yet my little apprentice, for yet you still have much to learn~” He growled while I felt his hot breath reaching closer to my face, yet I couldn’t see him.

“She’s not alone your majesty,” I continued. “She had a group of friends who call themselves the Gemporian heroes who helped defeat Tirek. But she does have a protector who will do anything in his power to make sure no one hurts her.”

“Well, I shall rip the very flesh from his body! For millennia I have dreamed of leaving this pathetic chamber and thanks to you Nyx, I will return to Gemporia and seek no further into making Rainbow Dash and her friends suffer for all the trouble they have caused to me for all these years, and they will know that the one true king has returned~” He roared throughout the cell causing his silver crown to roll against my foot, and as I picked up the crown which had a dark red sharp horn at the very tip of it, there in the cell was a pair of crimson irises with green scleras and a pair of purple mist escaping his eyes as the devil’s grin smeared across his face ready to hunt down his next victims~
