The Piebald diaries

T'was the early morn when we had departed the base of Mount Killmarejaro. Each of my companions had been preparing for the inevitable battle all morning. Armour was being polished and blades were being sharpened. Pinkie, having finished her axes sharpening, had already gone ahead and began sparing with Thunder. Twilight Sparkle had been looking over more spells that could be used against Samarus. Princess Cadance had undoubtedly known that we would have needed to be prepared for this fight, for she had brought myriad supplies and equipment for this quest. Armour polish, good food, a sharpening stone, and spell books. Twilight Sparkle had nearly made a complaint that she was a something of a 'deus ex machina', being an archaic pony term meaning an unexpected solution to what might have otherwise been a serious problem. But I was greatful for her help none the less. I was surprised that, however, that she had knon of the first layer of this plot without my sisters knowing. Perhaps she had just been more careful, or maybe she just had a much better 'poker face' than I would have imagined. I suppose that was the second rule of intelligence gathering, though. The first being don't get caught and the second being never allow anypony else to know how much you know. After flying at for nearly five hours at full steam, we had finally spotted the castle. T'was time for another rousing speech, I think. My soldiers, such as they were, needed that. And even if they did not, I had rather enjoyed giving them. T'was fun. "Mr. Braeburn!"
"Yes, yer Highness?" he responded diligently.
"Gather the crew!" I demanded. "I would like to have words with them."
"Yes, Ma'am!" He had obliged my request, gathering each and every adult pony before me on the deck of the Soaring Song. There they all were, some in armour, and some just as they were. The 'Mane Six', as Spike had decided to call Twilight and the other wielders of the elements of harmony, all adorned in golden armour. I still remember back to the day when they had been using those against me. But now they wore them better. They each looked more imposing, more confident and more resolved than I had ever seen them before.
I summoned my strength to my voice and prepared one final rally cap to prepare them for this fight. "Everypony, hear me!" They were all attentive, even Scootaloo. They all knew what was at stake here. "Today is the day of our retribution! For for over one thousand years, Equestria has been led, not by the fair hand of my sister, but by one who would use Equestrias wrath to commit genocide and atrocities on a scale that not even Discord would have executed! So on this day, we shall march to my castle, to our fair city of Canterlot, and say neigh! I will not lie. Some of us may not survive to see this victory that might not even come!" They were unflinching, all of them. "But today, we move on Samarus Night with one purpose! To save our world, and to rescue our friends, from an unyielding evil and unabiding hatred. Are you all with me?!" I heard a resounding cheer from everypony, even Fluttershy. "Good! Now, I have a guest in my home, so let us give him a warm welcome!" The planning had been done, so half the battle had been won. All that remained was the other half.

The enemy armada approached ever faster. The ships were blacker than any night that I could shroud the world in, and more red than even the most crimson blood. As we flew into the center of their formation, Shining Armour raised his shield as they began to open fire upon us. "Aunt Luna! They enemy outnumbers us ten to one!" Princess Cadance shouetd as Shinings shield took hit after hit of magic to his magical barrier. It would hold. He had dealt with much worse during the Changling Crisis.
"Then it is fair fight!" Our banner would not fall this day! The moon of the princess of the night would not surrender, even if death fast approached her! "Shining, maintain your shield until I say!"
All I could here was a grunt as he obeyed his princess. We were attacked n all sides by the enemies ships as they closed in on each side of my nieces grand vessel. We had obviously been expected, but when you expect a trap, you spring the trap! "Yes, Princess!" Oh the irony it was. Laying siege to my home with the captain of my sister whom I had sworn to defeat for the sake of peace in order to save it from a mad-colt.
I could not get a good enough look at the enemies soldiers, for my view had been obscured by Captain Shining Armours shield. But no more! "Shining, NOW!" By my command, he had lowered his shield and prepared for a massive turning of the tables. "Spike, Twilight! Open fire on everything that lays before you!" Viridian flames and violet ruin left the starboard and port sides of the ship, incinerating five ships immediately. "Cadance, take us to the heavens!" And so she did. She had steered the ship further into the sky, giving us excellent cover to secure a victory over the villain, Samarus. "Rainbow?!"
"On it, Princess!" She had already known her part in this. She flew up to the skies and began a lightning storm, striking any ships foolish enough to try and follow us. Then, she began a dive. Faster than I had thought she was even capable of, she dove into the fray. The enemies black chariots began a chase, but it was naught but a fruitless attempt to catch the fastest thing alive. And then she unleashed her deadliest weapon of all: her Sonic Rainboom. A great ring of every colour began to speed through the sky burst through the balloons of perhaps half of their remaining ships. Only four remained in the skies above Canterlot Castle. They remaining four retreated, or at least they had tried to. They had been shot down by their leader, standing atop the castle. I could see the crimson within his eyes. He had known we had come for more than just his head. And he know doubt knew what we were capable of with the elements of harmony. And so he elected to be prepared. He fired upon us.
"Brace for impact!" Shining Armour shouted out as he raised his shield as quick as he could. It had not totally dissipated the blast, but he had traded a death stroke for a passing blow. The Soaring Song would not soar anymore however, as it had still taken heavy damage and began to crash into the city of Canterlot and into Canterlot Castle. "Hold on, things are gonna get a little-!"
"Bumpy?!" I had asked. Seemed to me a good enough guess at the time.
"Crashy!" And then came the boom. We struck with such force that I was not sure that everypony had been alright. At first I had thought of the children on board, but then realized a protective charm had been placed on all three by Twilight and Cadance to protect from this should the ship not make it in this fight.
The ship had slammed into the front of Canterlot castle, totally obliterating the whole frond doors to the once grand throne room of my sister and I. "Is everypony alright?" I had asked a standard, yet rediculous question. I had heard a resounding grunt from all of them, but they were all still fine. "Then let us end this!"
I leapt from the wreckage to see an army of what had appeared to be pegasi and unircorns born of pure malice. A small inferno had been were their eyes should have been and they all bore the same cutie mark, the same symbol that had been on the flags of the Samarus Nights ships: an alicorn marked by surrounding by red flames. As my allies arose from the broken boards of our vessel, the enemies made their ways toward us. They had spewed fire at us, but with Shinings shield we were able send a shock wave to stun them. All who facd us were slain, but even so, there was no end to them. It was as though they were a manifestation of their own dark masters will and magic. Wave upon wave fell at my hooves. We were wasting time! We had to move on Samarus now! But how could we even make a move at him if we could not even get near him? T'was then that the nigh impossible happened. Although, I had begun to get used that.
A flash as pure as the whitest snow filled the room, blinding, then incinerating, everything evil that had looked upon the white light as a silohet burst through what had been the stained glass window that celebrated Discords defeat at the hands of Twilight Sparkle and her friends. It had incinerated all darkness within the once great hall and light filled each and every crevice. T'was nearly too bright for my eyes to handle, but even as I squinted to see, I could tell who it had been. "Does somepony need a rescue?!" The familiar words of one loved one mixed with the voice of another. But the speaker as not who I had hoped for. She had merely borrowed his words.
"Celestia?!" I was shocked, happy, angry and few other mixes of emotions that confused and befuddled me. But the happy had won out, it had seemed, as tears of joy ran down my cheek. I ran in to hug her as her stance became more relaxed upon the obliteration of the shadow ponies.
"Hello, Little sister," She gave a simple and satisfied smile as she accepted my embrace.
"We all thought that you had been lost in Maredrid!" My sister whom I had been prepared to end had returned to all of us. It was one small victory after what had seemed to be a sea of defeats.
"You know, for a second there, so did I." She was reserved as always, but we could all see the happiness in her eyes. For three years, we had been running from her for the sins of a cause not her own. "But we don't have much time, and I have much to tell you."
"What of Noble?!" I had hardly cared for wht she had to say. Now that my sister was safe, I knew that there had to have been a chance of my beloveds survival. "Has he survived as well?"
"Luna..." I had a feeling she was about to tell something that I had not wanted to hear. I was correct. "The young earthpony survived when I had attempted to bring down Sta- I mean Samarus Night. His armour saved his life." A brief thought of satisfaction crossed my mind as she told me that, then left as I remembered this was to be ill news. "He saved my life at what had certainly been at the cost of his own. I am sorry, Luna, but he's gone."
"Were it so easy." I was not sure whether or not my faith had been misplaced in what a mere earthpony could do against the demonic alicorn, Samarus Night, but I simply knew. Something in me would not allow me to stop believing.
"Luna, you and I could do next to nothing to Samarus, and you still think he's alive?"
"I do. Noble Spirit does not die so easy."
"Why?!" She may have been angered by my simple response, but I honestly did not care in the slightest. "What, by our mothers grave, makes you think that an earthpony could live against what wewo of, could b?!"
"Because, Celestia," I would simply tell her why, but I had no idea that what I would say would leave such an impact upon her. "I have faith."
And there she stood, in awe of the three word answer to her question that demanded more evidence, but received none. And then she smiled. "You've grown up, Little Sister..." I could see her eyes beaming with pride as she said that. "I wonder..." she touched her horn to mine and it had begun glowing.
I fell to the floor exhausted, yet strangely invigorated. Power surged through me in ways that I had never imagined. It felt glorious. "What, what just happened?"
"I think I finally understand why Star Swirl made sure to send you to the moon instead of I to the sun. You were always more powerful than me, Luna. You just needed some help to reach your full potential."
"I do not understand." I was truly at a loss for what she had told me.
A single tear fell from her eye. "Luna, you were as strong as me when we faced Discord, while being even younger. When jealousy tainted your heart, it took the elements of harmony to banish you. And it had been you that Samarus Night chose to get out of the way first." She then placed a solemn smile on her countenance. "Defeating Samarus is your destiny. I think it's always been. But this?" She turned to see an army of shadow ponies swarm through what had once been a grand door way. Celestia only smiled with a great hint of excitement. "This is mine. Go now, Luna! Go and banish this evil from our kingdom once and for all! And good luck!" And so we ran up the stairs, resolve strong as steel and willing to make any sacrifice in order to save our kingdom.

The mane six and I ran up the stairs and through the cooridors of what had once been our grand palace. The stairs were just as winding as I had remembered them nearly three years ago. These would likely be my last serene moments before we faced off against the evil of Samarus Night, so I took a moment to ponder what had brought us, all of us, here. Closure for some. Retribution for others. And justice. Not just for everypony, but every griffin as well. And here we all were: adorned in armour of either gold or silver, prepared to pay the ultimate price to rid our fair lands of this vile colt who had once upon a time been a dear friend and ally of my sister and I. The very colt who had taught us the magics to seal away discord. This was it. At the entrance to the final arena to decide the fate of Equestria, I gathered my wits about me. T'was time for fate to run its course.

"Samarus Night!" I shouted with a voice that shook the ceiling. "We have come for you!"
"Well, it was about time you all showed up." He responded with his arrogant snide. "I was getting bored with my entertainment." And as he turned, I could feel my blood boil. He turned to show us a battered and broken Noble Spirit. "You know this one single handedly brought down six airships? You really should not have let this one out of your hooves, my old student. He really is quite the catch."
I could see a mild electrical current running over him, then his wounds constantly healing then reopening. For Noble to endure this and still be not have passed out from the sheer pain of it all... truly he was made of the stuff of legends. His armour was broken in several places, but the shield on his chest was still miraculously intact, albeit covered in dents and scratches and soot.
"Thou..." I struggled to keep my rage from controlling me. T'was not easy in the slightest. "WHAT. HAST. THOU. DONE TO HIM?!"
"Now, now. Inside voice, Luna. Please." He went back to looking over his work on Noble Spirit, then through him aside as though he was naught but a rag doll. "I was bored of him, anyway."
I lost what little remained of my composure and ran to intercept my beloved. He landed upon my back and laid him slowly on the floor. "L-Luna?" he called out weakly. He was still alive, but only just. He need much in the way of time to recover later after we were finished. He managed a weak smile to try and reassure me that he was alright.
"T'is I, Noble." I held him close to my heart, hoping to give him the strength to see himself through this. "Your princess of the night is here to protect you."
"Hmm, that nice." He would be fine, for all he really needed was his rest. He took a moment to gather his strength for more words. "Hey, Luna?"
"Yes, My love?"
"Kick him in the nads for me, k?" The words made us both chuckle. A small tear left his eye and mine as well. Even after hell, he was still the same pony that I had fallen in love with.
"Of course, Noble." I smiled at his request. Still a sense of humor after all that had been done to him. Amazing.
"Thanks. And Luna?"
"Yes, Noble?"
"I love you too."
I smiled as I heard the words that he paroted back to me. The last words I had said to him before we had thought him lost was that I loved him. And so I gave him the same wry smile he gave me. "I know." And with that, he fell asleep with a smile upon his countenance. There would be time for us later, I think. But for now, there were other priorities...
"I haven't seen a love story like that since Gaius and Celestia." Samarus through in, offering an unwanted opinion. "But then, I had to test out my transmutation spell and we got Discord. Poor Celestia had no idea what or who he was when they battled. But then, neither did he..." He gave a devilish grin. Samarus had proven once more that he was a monster through and through. As Noble would say, he had kicked the dog one to many times. "You desire revenge, no? Well, then," a sinister dark silver aura erupted around Samarus Night. "Have at you!"
"No..." I had t be careful to keep my wits about me for this bout, for he would have no doubt use any edge he could to put me down.
"No?"
"Revenge is not why we have come here. Revenge is all consuming, like fear or jealousy or greed." I dug deep to find the depths of my power until I had thought that I found enough to start with. "This is not revenge. Nor is it rage or retribution. This. is. JUSTICE!!!" My on aura exploded and seemed to rival his own. It flowed from my horn like a river and glowed with an indigo hue. My eyes glowed and I could see the elements of harmony flowing to me from their inheritors. A spiraling vortex of power pure in every way raged around me like a hurricane. "Now, let us end this!" And so he did. His first move was to send a blast of his heinous power at me, but I dodged it as though it was nothing. He took to the skies as I had, and then pursued me through the city.
Razor sharp blades of magic were sent my way next. "You will have to try better than that to defeat me, Princess!"
"How is this?! I flew straight toward him as his discs gained on me in an attempt to cause his own attack to backfire. And it may have worked, had they not have dissipated into magic dust just before impact. "Damn," I muttered as my simple tactic failed.
"Please, Child! Did you really think that that would honestly work?"
"Hmph..." It seemed as though the only way I was to win this fight was in close range. So be it. I flew into the sky to the heights of what an alicorn could accomplish, expecting him to follow. It worked. "If thou intends to make us a trophy... thou has to find us!"
He flew up to the cloudy skies of Canterlot, intending to catch his prey. He had no doubt known about my duel with my sister years ago above the castle during my escape, but perhaps I could use that to my advantage. "Really, Luna? The same old tricks as before? I thought I taught you better than that?!"
The fool had not known what my plan was. I began a swan dive to build up speed and to increase the power of impact. If I could not best him the magic of sorcery, I would best him in the magic of fighting. "HOW ART THIS?!" I rammed into him at what I had thought was nearly Mach three, nearly three times my earlier record. "HOW MANY POINTS DO I RECIEVE?!" He was sent flying at speeds not even my mind’s eye could track and was sent plummeting through one of the towers of Canterlot castle to the cold equestrian earth. I gave a confident smile, knowing that it had not been over by a long shot, but content at what I had done to displease him.
As the smoke cleared, I could make out his body, standing but he was coated in scrapes and scratches from being plowed into the earth. "Alright, my dear..." he states with an eerie calmness. As Noble would say, this had just gotten "real". "If you wish to play with the big ponies... THEN I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO OBLIGE YOU!!!"the dust cleared instantly as his power poured from him, his eyes glowing a hellish shade of crimson. Wave upon wave of what seemed like the hurricane force wind buffeted me, but I still stood tall. I had to. For everyponies sake. "YOU MAY THINK YOUSELF IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS ME, BUT I WILL SHOW YOU EXACTLY HOW WRONG YOU ARE!!"
"Then enough talk, Old colt." He was angry, which was good. Rage would make him sloppy and predictable. "Or is that all thou art capable of in thous old age? After all, if thou cannot perform, then thou must teacheth."
"Oh, I can perform," He was almost literally drooling his anger. I had not only injured him, but I insulted his pride as well. "And you will see just how well!" He sent a sloppily placed blast of his evil magic at me, one that was easily enough intercepted by my own. I took to the skies once more, but he followed me and the beam struggle continued. It continued for what had seemed like hours, and almost appeared as though we were dancing to a deadly sonet. And when the beam struggle ended, we took to the heavens even deeper and jousted, neither holding an edge and our auras flaring as though we had been set ablaze. Indigo blue and hells own silver. The princess of the night and the bringer of darkness and damnation, warring over the soul of Equestia. T'was poetic in a way. "You die now!" He sent a shock wave of his malice toward me, but was deflected by my own.
"We think not, Villain!" As the surrounding clouds were disipated by the two blasts meeting head on, I took the time to use a technique I had not used in what seemed like ages. "How art this?!" I thrust at him with my horn, barely missing his heart, or where it should have been, and and instead grazing his shoulder.
"Gaah!" And then he sent me plummeting with a powerful shockwave to the earth and straight into the center of Canterlot, creating a crater in the wake of my crash.
As he landed on the outside of the crater I had made in the wake of my impact, I attempted to recover and take to flight once more. As I tried to escape the mad colt, he grabbed a hold of me with his magic and slammed to the cold shattered cobble stoned streets of Canterlot. "It is not your end yet, my dear. Wait until all you hold close to your heart is either dead or dying," Samarus Night began to press me against the wall of the nearest structure. "Then you have my permission to die!" His eyes narrowed as he forced my eyes open to gaze into my soul, peering into my deepest memories. "Hmph. How is it that the younger sister to the great Princess Celestia is able to challenge me! Tell me, what makes you so much better than Celestia?!" I struggled not to show weakness and, failing that, not to scream. T'was a battle all in itself. "What makes you think yourself strong enough to think you could defy me and not only live, but win?!"
Amidst the pain of his magic and the actual difficulty of the question posed to me, I found it hard to answer. Then something happened. The reason I fought, the very reason we laid seige to Canterlot was made as plain as the day. Waking up on the train on Nobles shoulder. Looking for food to forage at the base of Mt. Killmarejaro with the young earthpony. Content in each other’s love and staring into the frozen oblivion in the mountains. And the last time I had seen Noble before today. Risking everything to save what he believed in. To save me. All my memories of Sir Noble Spirit flooded my mind without end. At first I had thought it to be my life flashing before my eyes, but then I realized something. It was HIM. It was my own Noble Spirit that had kept me fighting no matter how insurmountable the odds or uncertain the victory. Suddenly, the pain was meaningless as I found a second wind, a second wave of strength to fight with and to win with. I broke free from Samarus Nights hold of me and my eyes and coat glowed a pure white. "MY SPIRIT!!" I answered with a wave of my own power knocked him clean across the street and through several others. "SPIRIT IS WHAT BROUGHT US HERE, AND SPIRIT IS WHAT SAVED US FROM A HORIZON OF DESPAIR." I flew above above him and sent blast after blast at the fiend. "T'WAS A NOBLE SPIRIT THAT UPHELD MY HOPES AND DREAMS TO SAVE OUR HOME, AND T'WAS NOBLE SPIRIT THAT WILL SAVE US FROM YOU!!!"
"Wha-GAAAAH!!!" He was in some tremendous pain from the constant blasts of blessed and sacred power that buffeted him. He was weakening now. And now was the time for retribution at last. "Impossible!" He fired a blast of his own, beginning another beam struggle, although the struggle had been mostly futile on his part.
"And this... IS FOR MY SPIRIT!!" My blast had cornered him to the side of the mountain that held the east side of the city. He was hardly able to hold his own against the combined strength of myself and the elements of harmony. "THOU HAST WANDERED INTO THE WRONG NEIHBORHOOD, MOTHERBUCKER!!"
"GAAAHHHHHHHG," And with one final push, Samarus Night was defeated, leaving naught but a pile of rubble where he stood.
Content in my victory and totally exhausted, I fell to the earth. The last thing I remember seeing was all my friends and my sister running to me, along with the whole of Canterlot.

Sweet mother of Celestia! Luna really took off when I was captured. Haha. Wow. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less from mare I fell in love with. This will probably be the final entry in this thing, seeing as how I'll be way to busy helping my dear Luna rebuild Canterlot. I should probably finish by telling what happened after Samarus Nights defeat and when Luna woke up.

It'd been two days of her solid sleeping and I didn't leave her side once. Neither did Celestia. She explained to me everything. "Samarus Night had been behind everything, it seems. From Lunas corruption to this dreadful war."
"So that means that it wasn't really your fault, right?" I tried to console her. To make her think that she had been played like a fiddle. "You were a victim just like everypony else."
"It's not as simple as that, Noble. The things I've done..." Princess Celestia looked out the window at the sunrise solemnly. "I may have been manipulated, but I still had some control of my actions. I should have been stronger. The blood on my hooves, and the sins I have commited, can't be washed off so easily."
"So what're you gonna do?"
"I think it was time I left Equestria for a while. To sort some things out."
"What about the sunrise?"
"Cadance can take care of that. She's stronger than she thinks. And if not, Luna is more than ready. This crisis proved that."
"Are you sure there's nothing I can say to change your mind?"
"Haha," she let out a laugh as she went to answer. "Noble, you remind me of a young earth pony I fell for hundreds of years ago. Totally insane, but reliable as well." And then she took a sad face. "He disappeared shortly before the arrival of Discord. The very day before our wedding." There was a heavy hint of remorse in her voice, as if she had really known what happened to him.
"Exactly how old are you, anyway?" I know it's bad manners to ask a mare, let alone a princess, how old she was, but I really wanted to know. I couldn't help it.
"It's a secret." She said with a smile as she began to exit the room and as Luna began to stir. "And by the way... the answer is yes."
"Princess?" She had a wry smile on her face like she knew what I wanted to ask, but couldn't find it in myself to actually say.
"You have my blessing to marry my sister." She stated calmly, leaving me 50 shades of red. So she did know. Heh. "I think it's time I made my leave. But before I go..." She kneeled over to give me a hug as she continued her far wale. "Thank you."
"For what, your highness?"
"For being what my little sister needed most." She paused as she searched for the right words. It was amazing to think that I was just hugged by the very princess that we had sworn to defeat. "Not a champion, but a friend that wouldn't leave her. And a love that would never disappoint." She turned to exit the room. "Goodbye, Noble. It was fun."
I looked at my princess as she woke up from her deserved sleep. "Noble?" she gave a smile as I took her hoof in my own. "Is that you?"
I smiled and nearly cried as I answered. After experiencing every hell we could, we could finally be together. "Yeah, Luna. It's me."
And she closed her eyes once more with a smile on her face. "Good. T'is good to have you back, Noble."
One tear escaped as I held her hoof close and gave the most sincere six words I ever spoke. "It's good to be back, Luna."

The next day, she was able to walk by herself around the castle. And that was when I had everything planned out. There she was, watching the amber coated sky after she had lowered the sun that day. The clouds were beautifully bathed in the goldenrod of the evening sky. "It's a whole new world out there, isn't it, Luna?" I could see her jump slightly at my voice, showing I had startled her.
"It is, Sir Noble. And yet..." she took on a sad face as she continued. "All the death that insued in the wake of this revolution... it wieghs heavy on my heart. And with my sister gone, I am uncertain as to whether we-I am up to the challenge of ruling and rebuilding."
"Well then, I guess that makes it a brave new world as well, doesn't it? Speaking of which..." I reached into my saddle bag to pull out a small velvet pouch.
"Noble?" She was confused, no doubt. But if there was anything I learned from Rarity, environment can be just as important as the actual execution of what you're trying to do. And I could think of no better time to pop the question. "What art thou..." I knew she had a feeling what I was going to do. She only let her old Canterlot slip into her voice when she was emotional, regardless of which it was.
"Luna, in this brave new world, there are bound to be a few new beginnings, right? So believe me when I say I want to begin a brave new world of my own." I took her hoof in my left and placed a blue diamond ring on it with my right. "What say you to sharing it with me? I guess what I'm really trying to ask is..." I got down to my knees as she stared at the ring I just placed on her hoof. "Princess Luna, will you marry me?"
She was dumbstruck, totally and utterly. No other word for it. And yet, her beautiful blue eyes said everything she wanted too. She shed a tear of pure joy, pulled me close and kissed me, not deeply, but more passionatly than ever before. "Sir Noble Spirit, nothing would bring us greater joy in all of Equestria than to be thous bride." And there we stood for what seemed like hours, staring at the sunset, and then the stars and full moon of the cool October night. Best Night Mare Night ever.

And that is how an orchard working earthpony with almost no special skill aside from running fast and an outcast alicorn princess saved the Equestria. And of everything that happened, I wouldn't have changed any of it. We never saw Celestia again after that, although I know she's still watching over us as a guardian of the light. Nopony could turn her back on her subjects like that. I should probably stop writing now. My wedding starts in a few minutes and I really shouldn't be late. It's hard to believe that I started out as just a run of the mill runt earthpony who worked at an apple orchard, and now I'm marrying an alicorn princess. Life has a funny way of working itself out. I wish I could end this epic tale of love and war with something profound or intrinsic. Something better than just an old and stale goodbye. I always did hate endings, after all. But I guess I don't have think of this as an ending, but the beginning something new. Goodbye everypony. It was fun.
Signed,
Noble "Pipsqueak" Spirit
