Chapter 2 Meeting Paradox

"I am the goddess of Life and Death, I'm called Paradox. Twilight Sparkle follow me please. " As Twilight followed the odd looking alicorn mare, she saw that she possessed the colors of Obsidian and her daughters.

As they walked Paradox showed Twilight the lives of her friends, the latter wept as she the fun they'd had. She realized that she had taken Spike for granted. If any creature didn't need a friendship lesson, he never did.

"You'd be interested to know your majesty, that I found his younger sister. I'll bring her to you soon. Her name is Magma, she has been digging in the archives of Ponyville city hall and Canterlot."

" Thank you Paradox, I'll prepare a place for her." When Paradox left Twilight gotten word that Marble was crushed by Holder's Boulder and Limestone was flying off the hinges. One more friend to bury, Twilight was ready to give up her immortality to bring her friends back to life again.

Chapter 4 Magma

It had been two weeks when Paradox flew in followed by a deep purple dragon with deep crimson red lines on her body resembling flowing lava. Twilight saw slight resemblance to Spike, their walk patterns were the same and the way they stood wide eyed. "Princess Twilight Sparkle, I'm Magma, I understand you knew my brother? Please tell me about him? "

" Follow me Magma, I'll show you." As they walked the Hall of Remembrance, Twilight told the dragon everything, including giving her a copy of her friendship journal. The pair talked a good while and talked about times past, somewhere along the way Magma hjad met Trixie and Starlight on one of their friendship road trips.

When Magma left, Twilight still felt like all her friends were gone, but never truly gone as long as she kept them alive in her memories and in her heart.

Chapter 1 The Tombs

Spike please take a letter?" silence followed the command from the velvet alicorn. Liking around her faithful assistant Spike wasn't anywhere to be seen. "He's probably reading up on his old favorite 'Power Pony' comics" she thought to herself. Looking in his room………he wasn't there nor the library. His bed was made up and the room clean.

"He must be at Rarity's shop, he always had a crush on her." However Twilight spent her day looking for the dragon. She felt almost like a mother to him every since the day she had gotten her cutie mark and she practically raised him. She asked all of friends who were still living. She found herself by late afternoon at the entrance of the tombs behind Canterlot. Walking in she first noticed two stone sacoffagus with the cutie marks of the sun and moon. These belonged to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, on the left she saw the place where she laid to rest her brother and parents; Princess Cadence was laid there as well. On her right lay her parents.

Further in, lay her friends, the Pillars, Zecora and all of her friends. At the very of the first section of the tombs in an atrium lay a dragon turned to stone. Twilight saw an old mare at Pinkie Pie's place of rest, their cutie mark was a lime above a couple of stones; this was Limestone.

"It should've been Pinkie! Not you sis, if I ever find the creature who released those three terrors.............. I'm gonna crush them to gravel. "

"Lime Stone Pie?"

"Princess Twilight Sparkle" Limestone Acknowledged with a bow.

"I didn't know you were..........still around. I thought everycreature from the old days were gone, how's Marble?"

"A complete wreck, losing Pinkie almost killed her! How is it that all the best ones have to die first? I mean people with the best hearts die first, and we get stuck figuring life without their help?"

" I know what you mean, earlier I was wanting Spike to take a letter down...............spent my whole day searching for him. I went to all of our old hangout places. It never gets easier burying friends.................it's getting late now, take care of yourself."

Twilight sat at the long dining table in the dining hall, when suddenly a dark alicorn with a dark mane with a purple highlight stood beside her. Twilight Sparkle felt a sense of dread.

Chapter 3 Mourning

Twilight found herself wanting Spike to take down letters for her, and she would find herself talking to herself using her friends names. In a special great room she placed items belonging to her friends................including Trixie Lulamoon's cape and hat, a glass bottle from Starlight Glimmer housing the remains of Phyllis the desk plant.

The room was stuck in the golden years of Equestria, she curled up around Spike's old bed and wept. She remembered her lesson from when she caused Ponyville to fight over her 'Fancy Pants' doll and the chaos it caused. She recalled the time she and her friends helped Applejack save her farm from Flim and Flam, Fluttershy's lessons in being assertive. Her very first day in Ponyville, her memories flooded in like a river through a dam. Looking around the room she saw the dresses of disastrous proportions from when Rarity made them for the gala................laughing she recalled how Spike acted like he didn't want to go.

One item caught her eye, it was a music box, the very one that she out herself on when Starlight Glimmer was called by the Cutie Map and changed Celestia and Luna's cutie marks for a day. She laughed about how stressed she was then.

A stack of super rare Power Pony comic books sat in neat little stacks in clear plastic bags, Spike kept them in pristine condition, she gently opened one with her magic and began to read them, all one hundred and thirty of them. Once she finished, she found items from Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's trade days escapade. It was getting close to midnight now, and looking at the moon, she remembered the Nightmare Night when Luna made friends with the folks of Ponyville. As she drifted off to sleep she wept more, she was alone, in the night sky her old castle in Ponyville gleamed in the moonlight.
