Eight days under the Zebrican sun

Chapter 16-The End

Previous Chapter

On the last day Swift Glaze remained, his Mother, Sweet Glaze along with Swift Glaze's friend, Concord Wings watched him decay. ( His Father and Brother couldn't stay due to work) At the beginning of the day, he was transferred to the intensive care wing. Concord Wings was writing down notes about Swift Glaze, while his Mother sat by his side. Normally patients were supposed to be separate from their families, the hospital staff didn't have the heart to tear away a mother from her child. However, later in the day, they escorted Concord Wings out of the unit. He saw the end.

Around halfway through the day, Swift Glaze's Mother grabbed his hoof

"Let go, please" she begged. It was hard for her to say this, but it had to be done. Swift Glaze refused to die. The doctors gave him at most 3 days, but instead, he had held out for 5, refusing to give in.

But when his Mother said these words, his heart skipped a beat. It resumed once again, but it was very weak. Soon the beeps from the Patient monitor got less rhythmic. Doctors hurried around and were about to cast a spell to put his heart back in rhythm. However, Sweet Glaze stopped them. Instead, she only asked for a moment. The doctors accepted her request and left Swift Glaze to his demise. Holding his hoof, she finally said "I was angry with you. You know, when you signed up for the Equestrian Air core. Now I have realized all you wanted to do was to see the world." With tears in her eyes, she finished off "Your Father and I forgive you"

After this, the beeps became continuous. Holding her son's hoof for the last time, she said "goodbye".

She wept. The weeping of mothers cannot be silenced for a long time, nor can comfort be granted to them. For the loss of a son is equal to the loss of themselves.

I hope this book may make his, and many other's memory eternal.

Signed -Concord Wings
