The Grave Digger's Daughter II

Obsidian was organizing the attic, and she came across a black mirror with strange runes engraved in its frame. She stared at them for some time then she remembered where she saw them. She ran down to retrieve her father's journal and found the runes to an old spell.

It translated as:

"For the dying soul, an open portal for me to join and comfort in final hours." She went to the mirror and recited the spell, as she did so the glass shifted and she saw into the room of a young earth pony being crushed by a large tree branch and they were scared. She stepped through the glass tentatively and she soon by him. He had coughed up blood, and she lay beside him after she moved the tree off of his crushed body. He whimpered and begged, "Please don't leave me alone to die?"

"I'm not gonna leave, I'll be right here until the end." He already knew he wasn't gonna make it to a hospital but know that somepony was going to be there with him so he'd never have to die alone comforted him greatly and his breathing slowed to a normal pace. After an hour of hearing his breathing slow, and with each breath she'd hear the gurgling of blood and felt her heart ache more and more finally he died. She took him back through her portal and let the medical examiner get his DNA and waited until they could id him. Obsidian buried him several weeks later and on his grave marker she put his name "Glen".

For several weeks she would travel through her portal and comfort many ponies and she had to bury many. The bits her father saved for her education she used in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Between that and her going and comforting ponies she rarely saw her friends Vapor and Minty.
