Chapter VIII: Beheading of two-headed all-power

Part III: All-combining reality


..What's next?

I don't know! Why are you all asking me?

You are the heir, so you are supposed to guide us. Not to mention, you'll be a good ruler.

But why? Why me, not Moon?

You embody all the principles of a good future. You led us here. You are that ray of sunshine, that everybody lacked.

..I can't. Alone, for sure.

This time, everyone decided to help Sunshine, all of them. She understood by only glances, that each creature was going to go after her, and nobody will leave the matters undone. It all is just the beginning, and it begins nicely - with a blank page. But the matters themselves are not at all easy.

I understand that you are with me, but I don't have the energy! There's so much in my head, that there's no way to distract from it! This is some kind of-

It'll all be fine! We understand - you need a rest. Go rest!

And what about Equestria? What about changelings and pointy-ears? And the equestrian army with lost messengers?

Leave military affairs to uncle Sombra. Empire will last a little more without me - not little anymore.

We have problems even besides them. Gambit's quickly healed - he's like alive, but not really. And ponies? Those peasants?

And that, is what we will work together on! Me as a beacon of hope, and you, Empyrean - minister of alternative opinion.

..Yet Sunshine showed right in that same second, that she cannot do anything. The mare simply must take some time for herself, so as to not lose her mind, while others will replace her during this crisis. Fervour to create something good overlapped the company's tiredness.

..Ask yourself questions. Guide emotions.

You'd better think of how to help your sister!

Feelings - not for me. Changeling needed here. Snowwhite.

You certain Gamby feels better? Maybe I could manage by mys-

Certain. There, he's already going here. Miracles and only..

Those aren't miracles, those are dragons! ..Only dragons.

True, safe and sound; without a scratch. Whatever possible aught it was, but concerned scaly beings already done so much, that it simply could not be believed in. Yet, still, all of that is real, without any illusions, tricks or loopholes. Interesting, what they could think of later..

..Maybe, I should write a book?

Not on your own hair, I hope? ..Actually, why? It all can be retold!

Words are imperfect, remember? Gossip, mistakes, tiredness.. This way, write one time, copy several times and share with others. Would protect from bullies too - book isn't alive, no point in getting angry at it. Truth isn't loved, and you know it more than anyone.

Isn't there a point in saying straight to the face? If there's no point in getting angry, then they won't read it.

Then they'll lose so much! This is history, this is present and it will lead to the future! Nobody but us knows what happened here!

..And the seal and other redundant things will convince especially gifted ones to listen and read. You're a genius! ..But you know, Moon also said correctly - every creature needs to be talked to and shown it all in private. Everyone likes and thinks with their eyes - the text will lose its value quickly. God, I sound like Empyrean..

And now, it is time to deal with the solar one herself. Nothing more needs to be discussed, needed orders are given, and no less important matters can be dealt with after tending to the current problems. One of which restlessly legged about the balcony.

How are you feeling?

How do you think? I'm in shock!

You are about..?

I'm about you! A-and about Canterlot; everything at once! I can't distract at all!

You need some rest. Away from everything. Trust me.

I trust you, I know that! And I know that I won't deal with all the problems in such condition. Every way to create evil is already invented, yet there are endless possibilities for good! What can I do anyway? Run away to marshmallows? Disappear for a week in Eldervale?

The horse stopped before the railing from some kind of insight.

..Although, there is, probably, one method. Don't know if it'll help, but I want to try.

Something changed. How are you feeling now?

I feel, loved.
