  1. 1.
    >”Stay with me, Anon! Everything will be okay!”
  2. 2.
    "No, it's... it's okay, Twilight."
  3. 3.
    >You reach around blindly, unable to turn your head for some reason.
  4. 4.
    >"Just stay awake," she sobs, pressing her hooves into you. "Stay with me!"
  5. 5.
    >Trying to staunch the bleeding, probably.
  6. 6.
    "Did we..."
  7. 7.
    >It's hard to talk.
  8. 8.
    >Probably the rib that's piercing your left lung.
  9. 9.
    >"Don't say anything! Just stay still!"
  10. 10.
    >She looks around frantically, her head swivelling this way and that as she searches for something.
  11. 11.
    >"Fluttershy will be here soon, and she...she ..."
  12. 12.
    "That's not important."
  13. 13.
    >"There's nothing more important than you!" she cries, shutting her eyes. "Not to me!"
  14. 14.
    >She can't bear to see you like this.
  15. 15.
    >You almost feel guilty.
  16. 16.
    >You should have fought better.
  17. 17.
    "Did we... did we get them all?"
  18. 18.
    >You’re dying. All that is left is for you to do what you can with the time that remains.
  19. 19.
    >Slowly, she nods.
  20. 20.
    >Her lower lip is gripped between her teeth.
  21. 21.
    >She’s trying not to cry.
  22. 22.
    “The enemy are all…”
  23. 23.
    >You cough, speckling your princess’s face with your own blood.
  24. 24.
    >”Yes, Anon,” she mumbles, “they’re dead. They’re all dead and your fight is over. Just rest now. Fluttershy –“
  25. 25.
    “Twilight…”
  26. 26.
    >”Yes?”
  27. 27.
    >There.
  28. 28.
    >Your hand finds what it was hunting for.
  29. 29.
    >”Yes, Anon?”
  30. 30.
    “The fight… is never over.”
  31. 31.
    >Her eyes flare open, hunting for the threat.
  32. 32.
    >With effort almost beyond you, your fingers curl around the wooden handle.
  33. 33.
    >She gasps as you try to raise your arm.
  34. 34.
    >”No, don’t! You’re hurt.”
  35. 35.
    >You know this.
  36. 36.
    >”You aren’t in any condition to fight!”
  37. 37.
    “That’s why… why I have to…”
  38. 38.
    >”I’ll take care of it! Whatever it is, I’ll take care of it!”
  39. 39.
    >Her breathing is rapid and shallow – she’s on the verge of panic.
  40. 40.
    >Trying to stop your bleeding, trying to find the enemy – her fear for you, her fear for everything, it’s all too much for her.
  41. 41.
    >You struggle to stand, but your body refuses.
  42. 42.
    >It’s not a matter of being too weak; the necessary tendons and ligaments simply aren’t attached anymore.
  43. 43.
    >”Don’t move!” Twilight cries, pushing you back down. “You’re making the bleeding worse!”
  44. 44.
    “It’s okay, Twi…”
  45. 45.
    >You’re out of breath before you can say her full name.
  46. 46.
    >Huh.
  47. 47.
    >It’s a cute nickname – Twi – you wish you had thought of it before now.
  48. 48.
    >Before it was too late to matter anymore.
  49. 49.
    >Shame.
  50. 50.
    >Twi looks down at you with such compassion and tenderness, all other concerns forgotten.
  51. 51.
    >At this moment, you and your injuries are the sum of her world.
  52. 52.
    >You try to sit up, eliciting a fresh wave of crimson from your wounds and snapping Twilight out of her trance.
  53. 53.
    >”FLUTTERSHY!” she screams. “FLUTTERSHY, HURRY UP!”
  54. 54.
    >She’s given in to her panic.
  55. 55.
    >”HE’S BLEEDING! OH, SUN, HE’S BLEEDING OUT! FLUTTERSHY!”
  56. 56.
    “Twi…”
  57. 57.
    >Her head snaps back to face you.
  58. 58.
    “…it’s okay…”
  59. 59.
    >She’s crying.
  60. 60.
    >She’s crying for you.
  61. 61.
    >Why?
  62. 62.
    >”N-no, it’s – it’s not…”
  63. 63.
    “Yes, it is.”
  64. 64.
    >Somehow, you raise your hand to stroke her cheek, smearing the blood spattered across her purple coat.
  65. 65.
    >It almost looks like the blush of a lovestruck schoolfilly.
  66. 66.
    >”B-but –“
  67. 67.
    >Your grip on the handle is strong.
  68. 68.
    “Twi, it’s okay. There’s… there are only two left.”
  69. 69.
    >You run your fingers through the vibrant strands of her mane.
  70. 70.
    >”You’re bleeding.”
  71. 71.
    “I know.”
  72. 72.
    >You feel stronger now, strong enough to raise your other arm.
  73. 73.
    >The final burst of energy before life leaves you altogether.
  74. 74.
    >You’ve seen it many times, on many battlefields, in many warriors, from the wastes to the walls of Praag and Erengrad and beyond.
  75. 75.
    >And now… here. In you.
  76. 76.
    >How odd.
  77. 77.
    >You always thought you would live forever. You thought you were special.
  78. 78.
    >”You’re bleeding,” she repeats dully, too traumatized to find other words, other things to say.
  79. 79.
    “It’s okay.”
  80. 80.
    >Her eyelids flutter, trying to blink away the tears.
  81. 81.
    >”It’s not.”
  82. 82.
    “It’s okay.
  83. 83.
    >Twi closes her eyes, but the tears come anyway.
  84. 84.
    “It’s okay.”
  85. 85.
    >”S-stop saying that.”
  86. 86.
    “But it is.”
  87. 87.
    >”Why!?”
  88. 88.
    “Because Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows –“
  89. 89.
    >Twi gasps in pain as the fingers running through her mane become a fist, gripping her and holding her in place.
  90. 90.
    “-ONLY THAT IT FLOWS!”
  91. 91.
    >She screams as your axe cuts into her neck, for as long as she is able.
  92. 92.
    >It turns into a wet gurgle as she chokes on her own blood.
  93. 93.
    >The mare tries to rear back, tries to run, but your grip on her mane holds her in place with the insane strength of a dying man.
  94. 94.
    >In panic, in mortal terror, without even being aware of what she is doing, hooves hammer your chest, breaking bones and rupturing organs.
  95. 95.
    >It doesn’t matter.
  96. 96.
    >You’re dead anyway.
  97. 97.
    >It’s only a matter of how much blood you can spill before the last of yours is drained.
  98. 98.
    >You pull your axe free in a fountain of red.
  99. 99.
    >The look of betrayal and confusion that flashes across her face hurts.
  100. 100.
    >She should have known this would happen.
  101. 101.
    >You had told her.
  102. 102.
    >Chaos will have blood.
  103. 103.
    >Yours… or theirs.
  104. 104.
    >The axe smashes into her neck again, sanguine spatter turning the crystal floors red as her blood mingles with yours.
  105. 105.
    >Twilight’s eyes roll back in their sockets, bringing a hint of a smile to your face.
  106. 106.
    >So very like her, to roll her eyes at you even in her final moments.
  107. 107.
    >With a shudder, she falls, collapsing heavily on legs that cannot feel anything.
  108. 108.
    >She’s dead.
  109. 109.
    >Not dying.
  110. 110.
    >Dead.
  111. 111.
    >You didn’t want her to suffer.
  112. 112.
    >There is no glory in sadism, only in blood.
  113. 113.
    >Your death takes longer; you lay there, trapped under the body of your friend, your strength all but spent.
  114. 114.
    >Hoofsteps resound sharply, a quick four-beat cadence singing throughout the crystal castle.
  115. 115.
    >”Twilight!?”
  116. 116.
    >It’s Fluttershy.
  117. 117.
    >”Anon!?”
  118. 118.
    >The hoofsteps stop.
  119. 119.
    >You can’t turn your head to face her.
  120. 120.
    >”TWILIGHT!? OH MY GOSH, ARE YOU… Twilight, are you… oh, Celestia…”
  121. 121.
    >Hesitantly, the mare approaches, slowly coming into your field of view.
  122. 122.
    >You… you might have it in you for one more swing.
  123. 123.
    >”Anon… what…?”
  124. 124.
    >You will never reach her.
  125. 125.
    >That’s okay.
  126. 126.
    >Chaos will have blood.
  127. 127.
    >If not theirs…
  128. 128.
    >”Anon, why are you smiling!?”
  129. 129.
    >Slowly, too slowly, yet as quickly as you can, you raise your axe to your throat.
  130. 130.
    “Blood…”
  131. 131.
    >If not theirs…
  132. 132.
    “… for the Blood God.”
  133. 133.
    >… then yours.
