Redemption

>How are you alive?
>A thousand years of endless standing
>A thousand years of endless screaming
>A thousand years of endless thoughts
>Nopony to talk to
>Nopony to help
>No chaos magic to crack the stone
>No magic at all, in fact
>Most of it had been stolen from you before your endless torture began
>You can't even see the outside world
>It's just blackness
>You and your thoughts
>How remorseful you've been
>How full of hatred you are
>How, maybe, you misunderstood friendship
>Or maybe you were never wrong in the first place
>The only other two you could even call "friends" were locked here with you
>Unable to speak
>Or even breathe
>...
>How are you alive?
>Or maybe this is what death truly is?
>Endless blackness
>Stationary forever
>...
>How haven't you gone insane?
>Or maybe, you already have?
>Is this what it's like???
>You don't want to go insane
>You're only a little girl!
>You had dreams and ambitions, before you met Tirek
>Before everything changed
>Heh
>You haven't had an original thought in ages
>It's just your mind, replaying the same thoughts over and over again
>You don't even know if you've been locked away for a thousand years or twenty
>You used to keep track of time
>But how could you?
>It escapes you, after the first day or so
>...
>You miss home
>Well, what you used to call home
>You never really had a real one
>It was just the orphanage
>With a loving caretaker
>But less loving playmates
>Never adopted
>Never given a chance
>It feels like you were never given the privilege
>Never deserved one
>You're the foal who took away all of Equestria's magic
>Who teamed up with Tirek twice, willingly
>Who teamed up with a terrifying bug queen hellbent on destroying all of Equestria
>What's wrong with you?
>Why?
>Why would you hurt so many people willingly?
>Do you not have a single empathetic bone in your body?
>Are you just born to be evil?
>Was this your fate?
>If you were able to get out of this stone prison, would you just do it all again?
