My Little Arrival

Ch.22: Sacrifice

"I will miss you all..."

Princess Celestia stood, looking up at Tirek. Chrysless had retreated to join Tirek. Luna was amused. The bug Queen did not seem to care about Tirek's injuries. She shook her head in pity, though it was small.

In their younger years, Luna had been friends with the young Queen. However, the Queen Mother, the mother of Chrysless, and Celestia had forbidden the friendship. All the hatred and anger developed to this, and now, Chrysless was prepared to watch Tirek destroy Earth.

Celestia and Luna looked at each other. Due to Celestia's prophetic dreams, she knew this day had been coming for 10 years, even in her and Luna's retirement. A realization hit her, and she came to the Creator with a deal.

Luna and Celestia rose to the sky, smiling at each other. There was no time for goodbyes. They had to act now. Discord returned, a thing of popcorn in his hand. He smiled, holding back tears. Discord had learned, as did the six and Spike, what the Princesses had to do at the park earlier that day.

This day had been Tirek's endgame. He had revealed in his inevitable victory. Fate, however, lifted him up and casted him out of the darkness and into the light.

It was time for the Endgame.
