Much
of the room is soaked in blood. You can count at least five dead in
there, with another five still alive. Two of them are pegasi, two more
unicorns, the last seems like another zombie sentry.
In the
middle of the chaos you can see familiar puffs of smoke. Cloak and
Dagger are warping around the room, appearing behind cultists, striking
and vanishing before anypone can react. Their cloaks are ripped badly
and you can see both are wounded. The pegasus' wing is limping badly and
the unicorn has to juggle him in and out of teleports.
Both seem tired but determined.
There is a gem pendant around the neck of the pegasus. You don't remember seeing it before.

remove the sun plate you apply bandages to her wounded chest. You stare

this one. They call him the Reanimator, though the canterlot citizens
registry names him Scripted Scene, son of the notable actors Final Scene

You
see the image of a twisted pony. His legs seemingly stitched to fleshy
stilts, his horn long and gnarled, closer to that of a big goat than a
unicorn, and a pair of mismatched griffon wings attached to his back.
One of his eyes is a sickly green, the other amber.
Celestia looks at him for a moment, then recoils back, her mouth agape.

>It took us a while too to recognize him

The
final image forms. It is dark and hard to make out, but you can observe
a skull. It looks very strange. The cranium is clearly that of a pony,
but the snout is longer, almost like that of a dragon. The eye sockets
are mismatched and it has a crown of horns circling the entire head.
>We believe this is the Great One
>If our assumptions are correct
>And we pray they are not

You see a mouse skittering

moves towards you. Your hoof glows with dark power as you touch it and
feel its life drain away into you.

In
some sources the method of becoming a lich is referred to as the Ritual
of Becoming or Ceremony of Endless Night. The process is often
described as requiring the creation and consumption of a deadly potion,
the Elixir of Defilation, which is to be drunk on a full moon; although
the exact details of the potion are described differently in various
sources, the creation of the potion almost universally entails acts of
utter evil, such as using as an ingredient the blood of an infant slain
by the potential sorcerer's own hand, or other, similarly vile
components. The potion invariably kills the drinker but if the process
is successful it rises again some days later as a Lich. Occasionally,
this metamorphosis occurs by accident as a result of life-prolonging
magic.

You
watch as Celestia brings down the sun, her graceful form guiding the
great flaming orb past the horizon. She wraps her wing around you as she
rises the moon. Her wings are so pretty. The stars are bright tonight.
It is all very very beautiful.
At the hospital, a child and two
brave stallions sleep. They all dream of the great deeds of the past.
Though the child's heart no longer beats, it is filled with happiness.
He has met great heroes and seen great things. He feels he has lived
life to the full.
Perhaps the same could be said of our heroes, as they smile in their sleep, content with having made the child so happy.
In
the other wing, Dawn is getting to know her heroes very closely. The
twins enjoy it as well, though they would never admit it. They have not
felt the loving touch of a woman in years, and though their wounds are
deep and painful, they would not stop for the world.
At the library, a lone zebra studies in candlelight, drowning the haunting whispers in his ears in a flow of information.
In the dungeons, a once great knight laments his fall, and the coming doom of canterlot.
Deep below, the Great one speaks to his prophet, as they lay down the final plans for his return.
