  1. >"Anon..."
  2. >"Thank you for coming such a long way, my faithful human."
  3. >"Did you follow my instructions to the letter? Does she know?"
  4. >"No?”
  5. >”Good. You see... Yes, you are correct, this is about her."
  6. >"Or rather, the both of you."
  7. >"Please drop any sense of formality, it will make this easier."
  8. >”No, no, I’m afraid this is something outside the map’s specialty.
  9. >"Anon, I... I'm sorry."
  10. >”Wha-? Nothing so untoward, Anon! I wish it were so simple, I truly do!"
  11. >"Not since I banished my sister have I been so distraught over what must be done."
  12. >"Yes. It is dire, and this will cause so much hurt, my faithful subject.
  13. >"I don't expect this explanation to make it any easier, but you deserve to know. You've earned that much."
  14. >"For untold generations, my sister and I have steered events on this planet towards peace and harmony."
  15. >"By our hooves certain doom was skirted time and time again, but it could not last forever.
  16. >"My sister and I weaken each passing day."
  17. >"As you have already seen, we cannot keep Equestria safe on our own."
  18. >"Were the bearers not born this generation, I shudder to think what would have happened to my little ponies..."
  19. >"Anon, I'm sure Twilight has talked to you about fate and its connection to cutie marks, yes?"
  20. >"Of course. You see, Luna and I knew the element bearers would come. All manner of divination pointed towards their births at this time."
  21. >"Twilight is my replacement, as Cadance is Luna's."
  22. >We are tired and old beyond the most ancient of dragons. It was inevitable that we would one day pass on the torch.
  23. >"Yes, you heard correct, Twilight will rule Equestria. All divine magic points to futures of her and her friends leading Equestria into a golden age."
  24. >"All futures that... don't have you...”
  25. >"I've been so confused since that day Twilight summoned you to help with Nightmare Moon."
  26. >”Me, my sister, the arch mages of my inner court, none of us ever foresaw your arrival.”
  27. >”Yes, yes, Twilight has told me time and time again it was an accident. I created the spell she cast and even I’m not sure what went wrong.
  28. >”Would you believe I thought you a villain? Yes, some agent of Nightmare Moon at the time.”
  29. >”But you helped reform my sister, and you had no stake in that fight at all.”
  30. >”A wisp of Discord’s chaos magic, I then thought. He always did relish playing the long game…”
  31. >”But you and your friends bested the lord of chaos himself. I daresay you kept Twilight’s sanity intact through that whole ordeal.”
  32. >”But I still had my doubts.”
  33. >”Sombra sleeper cell? A tendril of the nightmare being? Member of Tirek’s tribe? Some entirely new villain?”
  34. >”You proved me wrong every time. There’s not a malicious bone in your body. Never once have you shown contempt toward my subjects.”
  35. >”He’s the best accident that ever happened, she told me…”
  36. >”She certainly did, you’re very dear to her, as I’m sure you know...”
  37. >”Oh heavens above, Anon, I’m so, so sorry.”
  38. >”You don’t deserve this. Twilight doesn’t deserve this…”
  39. >”Something happens, Anon! Something very bad happens if you stay with Twilight!”
  40. >”Thousands of magical tests, all showing something terrible is fated to happen, and I can’t allow it!”
  41. >”Dowsing, blood magics, dream prophesies, paths of the stars, and just simple, brutally powerful spells to see the many potential futures…”
  42. >”But it’s not just spells known only to me and my circle.”
  43. >”The Griffons cartomancy, and reading their tarot and playing cards.”
  44. >”The cleromancy of the Yaks, who cast lots to see the future.
  45. >”Even the Dragon shamans and their dracomancy…”
  46. >”All predicting something! Something unspeakable with you and Twilight!
  47. >”Endless wastes! Dunes of billowing ash choking what vegetation dares to grow!
  48. >”…”
  49. >”And those are the good ones, Anon”
  50. >”The worst show nothing. Existence literally snuffed out. Three of Equestria’s brightest mages brought to the brink of madness, unable to comprehend gazing at nothing.”
  51. >”No, divination is not time travel. I remember the adventure you two got into when you found that scroll in the Canterlot Archives.
  52. >”No… No, I… What exactly brings these futures is uncertain.”
  53. >”Maybe Twilight gives her life to protect you. Perhaps the elements are slain because of some poor judgement involving you. “
  54. >“I just don’t know.”
  55. >”It might not even be you; if Twilight managed to sire a child of yours…”
  56. >”You two have gotten so close it-“
  57. >”Oh my word, that ring…”
  58. >”So you did plan on asking her.”
  59. >”Oh, you sweet man. You ill-fated, sweet man.”
  60. >”…”
  61. >”You know what I’m asking.”
  62. >”Anon? ANON!”
  63. >”Don’t you dare try to run to her!”
  64. >”You won’t make it more than a hundred paces!”
  65. >”My elite guard all know and are sworn to secrecy.”
  66. >”Just… please, just come back here.”
  67. >”No! No, no, no, nonono, No bloodshed, I swear it.”
  68. >”All my life I’ve tread the path of harmony. Violence has always been abhorrent to me. If there’s ever an alternative I’ve always taken it.”
  69. >”Were it up to any of the others…”
  70. >”They begged me to strike you down.”
  71. >”They pleaded I see reason, and I do. I really do. Never before has something this dire come close to fruition.”
  72. >”But there is one alternative.”
  73. >"Anon... You must leave Equestria."
  74. >"You must leave her and never return."
  75. >”Journey far past the Dragon Lands and the Yakyakistan mountains.
  76. >"Cruel fate will not have you. You cannot settle until reaching the very ends of the earth, and even then…”
  77. >”Yes, she will suffer. More than you imagine. She will search for you, she will grieve, and she will be at her lowest. But in time she will move on, she will always have the support of her friends.”
  78. >”I will lie to her. It disgusts me to have so many plans for whatever strand of fate the future takes.”
  79. >”I will say you returned to your old world through some cruel twist of fate, for you would never willingly leave your beloved princess of friendship.”
  80. >“Please, Anon, please. I can’t…”
  81. >”I don’t expect you to ever forgive me; you have every right to say that.”
  82. >“I am begging you, you have to.”
  83. >"Please..."
  84. >“Just…”
  85. >“Just go…”
