An Exiled Pony.

What you've done is unforgivable.

Those words couldn't leave her mind. Done what? She hadn't done anything worth a Canterlot visit in weeks. Her studies were up to quality and on time. What could she of done that made Celestia of all ponies so mad?

"What have I done? All my studies are up to date! I-"

"You don't know, Twilight?" Celestia's tone was sarcastic, yet aggressive, which was unusual for her. "Time travel. Breaking and entering to steal an ancient artifact, then letting said artifact stolen. We've ran the name "Starlight Glimmer" through the Equestrian Database more times than I can count, and it's evident she doesn't exist and was a cheap and quick back up plan."

"BUT SHE DOES EXIST!" Twilight yelled back, holding back tears of anger and frustration. "How else do you explain the scroll being taken? And why would I steal it? I could just ask and avoid all this stupid trouble!"

This is when Luna stepped in. "We honestly don't know, details are a bit confusing at this point. If this mare does indeed exist like you say, your punishment will be revoked. But for now, banishment is the only option."

Everypony in the room gasped, asides from the two princesses. Luna just carried on." What this means is as followed: No contact at all with Equestrians, ponies or other. You will have until tomorrow to pack what you see fit."

This is where Celestia chimed in, letting her younger sister step back.

"We have a policy. You are allowed one trip back a year. It must be written to me on a scroll beforehoof and approved."

"No."

Everypoby looked at her in shock, as if she had just spoken in crazy talk or something else.

"I either stay here or I leave. Forever. Until the day that I die, Equestria will or will not be my home. Your choice, I suppose."

Celestia shrugged. "Eternal exile it is. Equestria will no longer be your home. Now get our of my throne room before I send you now." The decision was like a piece of cake you wanted, or ice cream flavour. "I'd guess your friends would like to say one thing before you leave, If I'm correct?"

Twilight was already halfway down the throne room's massive interior. She paused to look back at her friends who all were worried and once again shook her head. "They're no longer my friends." And without another word, opened the door and slammed it as hard as she could. She didn't even bother walking home. Instead, she just flew, knowing that her hours were limited.

Cadence was probably disappointed in her, Shining Armour too, so the Crystal Empire was a no-go. Her parents would just disown her and right now she wasn't in the mood to be yelled at more. Her castle was the last place she'd be staying.

As she landed on the front entrance the flapping of wings followed behind her. It was Cadence. Instead of greeting her like a normal pony, she quickly opened the main doors and slammed them behind her.

The next day came by faster than Twilight had liked it to. She took a shower and had breakfast. Her saddlebag was just full of bottled water and granola bars since they were cheap and light to carry.

Her exile was set North of town, so that's where she headed. As she walked, there was nopony at all in the streets. They were either hiding out of fear or still in bed. The more she walked, the more reality hit her in the face. A pony hadn't been exiled in hundreds of years. And here she was, an Alicorn, walking to an exile. Her exile.

When she got there, if was barren, asides from a machine and a note.

You can always come back when you want. Just don't start a war.

-Luna

Twilight laughed to herself. The image of the Princesses bowing down to her was satasfying, yet unrealistic. She was going to start a war. And she would love every second of it. There was a quill and a scroll next to the one Luna had wrote, presumably for anything else she had on her mind.

Dear, everypony.

I helped fight villain after villain, even peacefully resolve and reform some of them. Now you want to throw me out like trash? The princesses sent me and my friends out so many times to defeat bad guys. The ironic thing is, they don't even know how to fight and without my element, they won't work.

Consider me another villain from now on.

She stepped on the machine without another word and got teleported to the barren desert. Her former friends didn't even stand up for her. She guessed that not even they knew what to do.

As the heat of the desert hit the alicorn, the more she realised how much she messed up. Permanent exile. Sweet Celestia, that was a a bad move on her part. On the off chance that she did encounter a town, it was either a town that didn't accept bits or a pony civilization. Sometimes, she saw her friends solving a friendship problem. All she wanted to do was get as far away from Equestria. But she also wanted to just run to them and hug them until the pain went away. But that wasn't going to happen.

Up ahead, she saw a sign. When she read it, a part of her soul disappeared.

You are now leaving Equestria. Where it be exile, or other, we applaud you for making it this far and we wish you good luck.

Twilight slumped against the sign to open her saddlebag. One energy bar left. Seeing as she was going to die anyways, Twilight ate the last part. No more food left, no more water. This is how the Princess of Friendship dies. Not surrounded by friends and family, but dehydrated in a desert. Cold an afraid.

As Twilight watched the sun set, she thought of what she'd be doing if this had never happened. Tucking Spike into his warm bed, getting into bed herself of even studying some ancient pony artifact. Whatever it was, she'd take that over exile.

Finally, the sun melted and Luna's moon rose. The desert was warm in the day and cold at night. As she lay down on the half baked sand, a group of figures emerged from the horizon. They look to be animals. Looking closer, they looked to be a pack of Timberwolves. Normally, a pony in Twilight's situation would run for the high hills. But she was ready for the release of death. She was tired, hungry and sick of it all.

But her fatigue got to her first and she passed out, unable to feel anything, they most likely mauled her to death. Whatever would get her out of this game would be the best.
