"Celestia!" Twilight Sparkle shouted from across the hallway. She nervously trotted to the side of the white alicorn who had been lay on the ground after taking a hit from a mysterious pair of mares.

"T...Twilight?" Celestia replied, lifting her head up, only to see her most faithful student. The purple princess suddenly wrapped her arms around her mentor and laughed.

"Your alive!"

"Only just..." The cream mare said, falling to the ground again. Twilight gasped and lowered her head, the two ponies eyes meeting. Celestia was terribly wounded, but the pair were inseparable. Twilight would stay until the end. But even she knew. The end was near.

"You must leave. Nightmare moon has returned," the dying princess warned. "Luna lost control after Sombra visited her in the night. I am afraid that she has a new pair on her side."

"What do you mean?" the student asked.

"Luna has had two mares. I would refer to them as new-borns" Celestia paused. "But the mares magic is incredibly powerful, so they grew to your age in a matter of minutes."

Twilight stared at the marble floor. She directed her eyes to the colourful stain-glass windows the stood proudly above the ground. She looked at the velvet throne in all it's pride and glory, its diamond encrusted panels shining like the sun. Then, finally, she lowered her eyes down, looking straight at the white princess that lay still before her. The sun began to set. Celestia let out a deep sigh and shut her eyes. A single tear fell down Twilights cheek.

"So?"

"So what?"

"Are you going to hit me back or what?"

"No!"

"Too chicken, eh?"

Misty Moon grew furious as a result of her sister's torment. Mayhem moon just laughed.

"Just hit me, you wimp!"

"Fine!" Misty squealed, running at her sister. She lowered her horn and spread her wings. Just as she went to charge, Sombra appeared, pulling them apart. The two young alicorns moaned. The moon was a boring place, and they had been stuck there for two days.

"News!" A distant voice shouted, almost shocking the playful mares. Nightmare Moon emerged from the shadows, putting her hoof around her husband.

"Celestia is dead! Well done, girls," She said, bearing her sharp teeth before forcing her mouth into a smile. In an instant, the two mares jumped up and flew out towards Equanstian to celebrate.

"Hey look! It's Equanstian! The planet of pitiful, putrid, polluting ponies!" Mayhem giggled softly. Misty flew ahead of her, heading directly for where Twilight stood with her dead tutor. She disappeared into the planet's atmosphere, calling out muffled words as she went along. Mayhem hovered in silence for a minute.

Ten minutes passed.

Misty had not returned to pull her sister along as she usually did. Mayhem grew worried and began to speed towards the palace.

As she landed, Mayhem gasped at the sight. Two mares lay still on the ground, both obviously dead. One looked wounded. The other had its neck sliced open and its mane pulled out. One big, one small. One white, one grey. Grey! Mayhem suddenly realised. She cried out in pain and despair as she realised what had happened. Yes, Celestia was dead. She had already known that. But now she learnt something new. Falling to her dead sister's side, Mayhem muttered three words in an ancient language. A single tears fell down Mayhem's cheek.
