The last pony

by Smashmaster

Day 3

Previous Chapter

It's been three days since the disappearances. So far, Silver and Logic are doing okay, though Logic is still sad that he lost his old family. I'm currently giving them breakfast, I already ate earlier.

Today I'm going to try to find out what caused the disappearances and if there's a way to bring everycreature back. I'll need to have all the books in Equestria all gathered in one place. It's going to take a long time, but I'll get through it all.


3 days later
I looked through all the books already, and found that the cause was unknown, meaning that the way to reverse the effects is also unknown. So, unless there's something else that I can find, I'm never going to see anycreature ever again.

Just as I put the last book down, there was a flash of light in the middle of the room. From that flash of light came a very familiar creature.

"What are you doing here Discord?" I said, not excited like I usually am when I see him.

"My, I assume something terrible happened. You're usually full of joy when you see me. Maybe I could tell you some of your favorite jokes to cheer you up."

"Don't, just don't. This can't be fixed with jokes, parties, pranks, or anything like that."

"If it can't be fixed by those, then what happened?"

"7 days ago after my birthday, there was a storm at night. I put up a magic soundproof barrier in the wall so that my little sister wouldn't wake up. The next morning, everycreature except for you, me, my sister, and this dragonequus I found crying in an alley disappeared. And the worst part is, I don't know what caused them to disappearances or how to bring them back. I won't ever see them again."

"Oh, dear. Does that mean that Fluttershy is?"

"Yeah, she's also gone. But it's not time to cry, I've already lost that ability. Now is not the time to mourn over the past, it's time to look to the future without them. That's what I'm going to do."

"You're right, I must learn to adapt to being one of the last creatures left on Equus. Farewell for now." Then he disappeared.

When he left, I gave my younger siblings their supper before I led them to our room, which now had an extra bed for Logic. Right before they fell asleep, I sang them something that I felt I needed to.

When Silver and Logic were fast asleep, I went to bed myself.
