Epilogue-Moon Shine

I fell through the white expanse, trying to come to terms with what had happened. Suddenly, I started feeling a painful tugging sensation, as if someone was trying to alter me from the inside out.

The pain escalated to unbearable heights and was soon accompanied by a burning feeling, as if someone was pouring lava across the whole of my body.

I looked at myself as this was happening and was shocked and horrified to see my body was changing, changing into something large and scaly. Eventually, the pain became to great and I started to pass out.

The last thing I saw before blacking out was another portal open and, falling through it, ground below me that was rushing to meet me at alarming speeds.

Epilogue-Rainbow Dash

I groaned as I opened my eyes, temporarily being blinded by the lights in the hospital room.

Wait, hospital room?!

I bolted up in the hospital bed and immediately regretted it. I doubled over as pain exploded across my chest and stomach as I slowly layed back onto the bed.

Looking down at myself, I saw a large bandage wrapped around my entire chest and stomach. I again groaned as memories came back in bits and pieces.

Ok, we were in that mountain. Then we found the princesses and freed them as Moon was fighting, then Moon was injured and then-

My eyes widened as I remembered. I slowly nodded my head as I thought, That's why I would be in the hospital... Wait, where's Moon?!

I sat up again, forgetting my pain as I wildly searched for Moon in my room. Where is he?!

I bolted out of bed, dragging the equipment that was hooked to me along. I through the door open and saw the princesses, Spike, and my friends all in the hallway, talking among themselves.

As they saw me, they all turned towards me and smile.

Twilight came up to me and said, "Rainbow, your awake! How do you feel? Do you need anything? A Daring Do novel perhaps?"

I shook my head, getting a little frustrated. "I'm fine Twilight and no, I don't need anything right now. I only want to know what room Moon Shine is in right now."

The atmosphere in around me became somber and everpony, along with Spike, hung their heads.

"What is it? Is he alright?" I asked, becoming uneasy.

Princess Celestia came forward and said, "I am sorry Rainbow Dash, he wanted to stay behind, to protect us."

"What are you talking about?!" I said, starting to get angry, out of frustration and worry.

She hung her head again and said, "I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, Moon Shine perished when the mountain collapsed on him, his brother,and Death Stroke."

I could only stand there, not being able to comprehend what she had just said. I was vaguely aware of all of them around me, enveloping in hugs.

I held for a few more moments before I couldn't hold it in and the tears gushed forth.

From within Canterlot Royal Hospital came a sound the likes of which the had not been heard before. It reached to the corners of the city and everypony who heard paused.

It was the sound of loss and agony.

It was the single cry Rainbow Dash let loose from deep within her soul, one she would never repeat again for it spoke of feelings she would never again feel.

A ceremony was held in memory of the fallen princes and a statue of him and his brother were erected in both the gardens of Canterlot and the square of Ponyville.

A funeral was also held for both princes but there was only one burial, as they had only found the body of Flourishing Star beneath the rock. There was a three day mourning period for each prince.

Little did they know that in another dimension, Moon Shine was being found by other friends that would need him before his return. And he would return.

Without a doubt.

Done! Haha, how's not finishing something now procrastination?! In your face!... So, this is the last chapter of the story and will help transition into beastbrony14's 'A New Life 2'. His story explains the time gap from when I went missing through the portal. If yall want me to, I'll write a sequel to this about what happened when I came back. But that's only if yall want me to.
