A/N: here it is, the real final chapter of the guardian series, I hope you have enjoyed reading, now let's see how it all raps up.

The Last Stand: epilogue

It had now been two years since the war, and everything had returned to normal, almost all of PonyVille had been rebuilt, as well as many of the other towns, which were attacked by the league, the capital city of Canterlot, was fully rebuilt, as well as the castle.

A promising future seemed to be on the horizon, many great things have happened since then; a new era of peace befell the kingdom of Equestria, as a brighter future dawned.

Twilight and Flame, were blessed with a second foal, a daughter named Star Dust, she unlike her brother, was more laid back, but always seemed to show a mischievous side, much like her father, but her brother, took more after her mother, always loving to read books and studying, but he always took time out of his day to spend it with his friends and family.

One month after Star Dust was born, Shining Armor and Cadence became the proud parents, of a single daughter, who they named Melody, much like her father she took a great interest, in the royal guard, and as soon as she became of age, she joined the royal guard academy, much to her father's delight, despite being young, she quickly graduated and joined the ranks of the royal guards.

After they confessed their love to each other, Applejack and Dark Star got married, they now live together on the ranch, where Dark Star helps all he can.

Deciding to live a different life, Dark Star resigned from his position as leader of the Wolf Pack, and passed it on to his closest friend and brother, Night Shadow, and now Night Shadow and Beltway work hard to restore the Wolf Pack to its former glory, and it is now one of the biggest independent military organizations, aside from the royal guard itself, although they are separate from the government and the royal guard, they are not afraid, to come to the aid of their friends.

Eventually, Dark Star and Applejack had a foal together, a son that they named Solar Glaze, he took much from his father's side, he loves to train with his father, but also helping his mother and his uncle Macintosh around the ranch.

Only a year after the war and After a long and private talk with the Princess's, Silver and Celestia agreed that the Guardian's should no longer be a secret society, and so the ancient society, that had protected Equestria for thousands of years, was disbanded, and reorganized into the first Equestrian Secret Service, or more commonly known as the E.S.S, their sole duty, is to prevent any disaster from striking the citizens of the kingdom.

Silver and Shining Armor, now work to keep the citizens of Equestria safe from harm, with Silver's title was changed from Grand Master of the Guardian's, to Chief Commander of the E.S.S, they work side by side, now with anypony can have the chance to join either one.

But new love also bloomed, with Silver and Dark Star's permission, as soon as they came of age, Comet and Meadow Dawn got married, and bought a house all for them in Canterlot, Comet and Meadow Dawn now serve with Silver as second in command of the E.S.S., but new life has found its way into many ponies' lives.

One year after their marriage, Meadow Dawn gave birth to a healthy young unicorn filly, they decided to name her Aurora, and she had the calm and gently personality of her mother, but sometimes showed a more mischievous side, much like her father.

Yes, life had returned to normal, for our heroes, they all lived happy lives and peace reigned, in the beautiful land of Equestria, as the memory of the war faded away, but on a single night, all of Twilight's friends, met with the Princess's, in a secret meeting, at the castle in Canterlot

There, they agreed in order to protect their foals, that they would not be told of the truth, about the war, about Shadow Blaze, about anything, they all made a pact that night not to tell their foals, and keep the real truth hidden from them, as painful as it was, they knew it had to be done, they wanted to lead simple lives now, full of happiness and peace.

But the one thing about peace is, is that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, it never lasts forever, and our favorite heroes are about to learn how true that really is, because even now, in the darkest areas of the kingdom, another enemy of equal ruthlessness is waiting for the right time to strike.

THE End…?

A/N: well there you have it, that is the end, yes you know it, there will be a single story continuation, that continues the story of our favorite heroes and their foals, with this new danger approaching, can the new generation face up to it, and be like their parents, or will history repeat itself.

Also, a huge thanks to my good friend, Eddie201, he was the one who helped me write this story, he was kind enough to lend me his OC's, and they are: Dark Star, Night Shadow, Beltway, Meadow Dawn, Rage, and The Prophet.

I would recommend his stories; he is a very talented writer.
