Stars. There were stars everywhere. Inside me, around me, and infinitely everywhere – they surrounded me, interweaving with piercingly bright rays, as if sewing space itself together. As if this light was the only reason the fabric of the cosmos hadn't unraveled yet. The rays burned with cold from within, ringing deafeningly in my head with silence. The stars were me, and I was them, every single grain of endless eternity. My mentor's last words about destiny were gradually fading in the back of my mind. The Light radiating from within grew warmer, enveloping me almost gently. I followed it – and ended up here. The Void was cold, swirling with darkness, shimmering somewhere in its very essence. It held itself warily, yet proudly, with dignity. This darkness had once already been defeated by me. And now, it had returned to the light. The stars rang. Their rays tore outward and inward, but I had never felt better. I will be next, once Light and Void finally dissolve within me. They waited. They knew. Celestia and Luna watched my dawn. Another moment – and I will forget everything, walking the earth once more, my hooves touching the ground. But the stars sang. I was that song. And that song will fade inside me... until the time is right.
