Fallout Equestria: The Tale of the Soldier

Epilogue

“In the end, in some small way, every action we make has the potential to change the world.”

I am Julion Trupa, one time Commander of the feared and respected Commandos, who one will now find as the most elite units in the United Equestrian Army. I am descendant from the original founder of the Commandos, Commander of the Military Dark Light. As I lay here, on my death bed, I think back on my life, and through all of it, I’ve come to finally realize these things: My virtue, one that I spent soul searching for years, was Caring.

Caring, though not quite on the level of Kindness, is a very good virtue indeed. I think back and realize I have cared for many things and protected those things I cared about. Littlepip from back in Stable 2, I cared for her because I was once just like her. The Commandos, I cared for them because I created them. Myself, in my darkest moments, all I cared for was myself, I was the picture of corrupted Caring.

I cared for Topal, Marigold Flowers, and Sargent, they were my closest friends in the Commandos. I cared for Littlepip and her crew, who I spent many adventures together with, and slowly became their friends, even with Calamity. I have cared for many things, and didn’t even realize it.

But the second thing I have realized, was that in the end, it isn’t our virtues that are important, no, it is our actions. Our actions speak for themselves, every action we make can change the world, for better or worse. Action is what made Red-Eye Red-Eye and Littlepip Littlepip. Even though our virtues might influence that, our actions are what make us, us.

I have done many actions in my life that will be recorded as evil, vile, and cruel, but I will also be remembered for the good I have done. The same holds true for all of us. If we do nothing, in the end, we will be lost. But all it takes is one moment, one action, and we are remembered forever.

As I look back, I have come to the conclusion that I have lived an overall good life, through the ups and downs, the killings and the friendships. Make sure that you don’t end up in my situation when your time comes. Don’t be laying in your final moments thinking, Celestia, I wish I had done more, because by then, it’s too late. Live your life to the fullest, and remember, your actions have the potential to change the world.

This is Julion the Soldier, signing off, for the very last time.
