Never Mourn The Dead
Instead pity the living
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Next Day
The day after a wedding is meant to be a joyful occasion. Especially after a Royal wedding everypony is still feeling the buzz from the party they get to see the happy couple on their first day married. A few drunks sometimes the groom as well if it was a party heavy wedding. But not this time not after this royal wedding. The mood around Canterlot was morbid and depressed. For the Day before Twilight Sparkle the Element of Magic, student of Princess Celestia and the sister to the groom fell to her death and now the citizens are preparing for a speech.
“We are gathered here today to discuss the death of Twilight sparkle.” The speech giver said
“What's there to discuss we all saw her fall!” the crowd shouted back.
“Yes but not how recent evidence points to the changelings. The evidence shows a changeling infiltrator had snuck up behind Twilight. Striking her from behind stunning her long enough for the infiltrator to push her off the balcony to her death. The suspected reason is revenge for the wedding. Twilight was the key reason behind the changelings being defeated both by noticing the Queen and freeing Cadance. We are currently Investigating how a changeling broke in either it escaped the shield or snuck back soon after. A funeral will be held soon for Twilight Sparkle near the Graveyard of Honor and a statue in a Garden of Heros.” The speech giver said before stepping off.
“I can’t believe those bugs came back, yeah and killed a pony and Twilight at that, shame for her family tho the bride and groom have to be devastated, her family what about the elements or the princess.” the crowd says as they walk off
“Sister why did you lie about Twilight's death? She was not murdered by a changeling if any thing we murdered her.” Luna said ears downward she did not take the news of Twilight's death well.
“Because Luna if the fact Twilight commited suicide there would be investigations on why. The investigations would reveal what happen at the wedding how the elements and I failed her. If that happened many things would happen. Not only would my and likely your rule be questioned. already some question it with my defeat at the Queen even though it was because i had to hold back with so many otherponies their. Not only that the idea and truth that i was too short sided to see the pain my student was going through and did not even think about what she was feeling would likely ruin any form of diplomacy with the other nations since they would not want anything to do with me.” Celestia said looking out the window before levitating a cup of tea
“Is that all you can think of sister yourself? Not about the other element bearers or your own student!” Luna shouted stomping her hooves on the floor flaring her wings. Celestia grip tightened on the cup shattering it. A noticeable heat started emitting from her.
“Don’t you dare accuse me of that sister you have no right. Did I abandon you when you fell to the nightmare? No I spent 1,000 years trying to find a way to save you. If the truth behind Twilight's death came out the lives of the other Bearers would be ruined they would be hounded for it if not shunned forever. Now leave me sister i am done talking about this". Celestia said through gritted teeth trying to keep the bite from her voice as the tea from the shattered cup evaporated. Luna stumbled back eyes wide ears down in fear before quickly leaving the room. Celestia sighed, the aura calming. "I am sorry Sister but now i just want to be alone with the memories of my daughter." She said turning away from the door and starting to pick up the broken pieces of the tea cup one by one with her magic. "The daughter who I failed.....just.....let me mourn Twilight Sparkle.....
