Beside Herself

Epilogue

The year had been a hectic one. The RavenCroft clinic was bought at a royal auction for half its value and renamed "The Arcane & Alloy Regeneration Center". The next three months were spent dealing with contractors and renovation, all the while operating out of tents in the back garden.

They only worked on the most critical cases In the early days. Doing this outside was hard, especially during the rainy season. Some were lost, but most had new lives to look forward to. The hard reality of being a healer is knowing not everyone can be saved.

Some walls were still naked and half the lights were yet to be installed, but at least they had a roof over their heads. The critical cases kept coming in. Arcane and Alloy fought to keep up with the volume before giving up and becoming teachers instead of healers. They spent four months on the road going from city to city training new healers and help where help was needed.

They came back to a fully renovated clinic with five highly skilled healers. The clinic was reopened, but the two finally decided to spend more effort on each other. They mostly filled a supervisory role, but thankfully, their new hires required little to none. Long postponed dates and a Honeymoon to Luna Bay could finally be enjoyed.

Brick never gave up her daughter. She quit her job as a bouncer and became the clinic's security. Young Hammer takes after her mom. All three of her mothers do their best to raise her right.

Arcane and Alloy had the same cheesy gift in mind on Heart's Warming day. They opened their gifts at the same time. In each was a positive pregnancy test.

Nine months later the two would attend the wedding of Princess Twilight and Sunset. Shortly after the bride kissed the bride, Alloy went into labor. Arcane would go into labor half an hour later. Their faces would be on the front page of 'The Canterbury Gazette' under the headline 'Pregnant Crashers spice up Royal Wedding.'

Ecclestia and RavenCroft are still in the Tartarus Maximum security prison. There are no plans to release them. Rumor has it they are now dating. A match made in hell, so to speak.

As for Dagon, The Dragons that served as Ecclestia's Elements were not prepared to be knights immediately. As it turns out, the evil Queen enslaved them from very early ages. They now are in therapy, but their progress has been impressive. PinkFlesh, the equivalent of PinkiePie, manifested her Element during Nightmare Night.

The EverFierce receded from Dagon's northern shore. The plant life there is starting to grow lush and docile, allowing a limited area of safety for the native population. The rest remain in Equestria where Dragon-Equis relations remain tense in some communities, but that's a story for another day.
