My Little Arrival
Ch.20: Were we so Different?
In this cascade of events, I feel it important to speak of two little side stories that took place. After the Student Six arrived, they had turned to Sombra, who strategically was not next to Cozy. Tirek believed that would be too dangerous.
The Student Six approached the fallen King, who looked up at them with sorrow. Sombra had believed he could fight Tirek, and then Chrysless if he had to. But there he laid, broken.
Twilight squatted, a smile on her face. Spike nodded and lowered himself so Twilight could place Sombra on his back. She turned to Kayla and me, who had followed, and we took off, seeing Cozy was far too close to the action. Rainbow growled, the eight heading for the space between the two front entrances, where they would be far from the action.
"Why do we gotta save him?" she asked, her eyes narrowing. "He hurt a lotta ponies! Just because he was nice to David and Kayla..."
She then zipped her lips as Twilight turned to her, a harsh yet benevolent smile on her face.
"Were our friends so different? They did wrong and redeemed themselves. Yes, there are fallen angels among the dead now. But what is important is that Sombra and Cozy have much to learn. They are not hopeless." The Six smiled but frowned as they saw Tirek rise in the distance, the clouds around him beginning to darken.
"I can only hope the Princesses are right..."
