8th Spell [Video/Action for Violet City]

P-Princess Celestia?

[Twilight's very worried face appears in the screen, a Sigilyph, Celestia's Sigilyph, fluttering around behind her.]

Your Pokemon... it just showed up here. I don't know how it got here, but I promise I'll get it back to you right away. I'm sure that-

[She cuts off, seeming to notice something in the corner of the screen. Her eyes widen in shock and horror.]

The filter broke? But that means...

[She pauses a moment, tears coming to her eyes.]

She's gone...

[She turns off the gear before she can start to cry. Any responses will be answered in a few hours.]

How can you say you failed? You recused us all, you got us back to normal. You always save us when the moment is right. Even when somepony else saves us, like Cadence and Shining Armor, they couldn't have done it without you.

The fact that I managed to salvage the situation in the end doesn't change the fact that I lost you all to him in the first place. It was my idea to go into the labyrinth, and the Elements weren't even there. If I'd just thought more about the riddle, and brought us straight back home, maybe...

[She can't finish the thought. "Maybe he'd have never gotten the chance to mind-break you." Yes, she blames herself for that.]

[Okay, that stops now, as she pulls you into a hug.]

That's not what's important. What's important is that you managed to free us, and free all of Equestria. Nopony thinks differently. We still love you very much, Twilight, always and forever.

[She accepts that hug, holding her back, and her eyes close, the tears resurfacing as she confronts an old demon she never managed to lay to rest.]

I love you all. I love you all so much. You five each took a piece of my heart that day in the old castle when we first came together... And I almost lost you forever.

But you didn't. And you never will. You're just a much a part of us as we are a part of you. Nothing will ever change that.

... Promise me.

[She's still holding, even clutching Fluttershy as she whispers that, practically begging her to reassure her that they'll never leave her. She somehow looks smaller than usual... and a lot more vulnerable.]

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

I promise.

[Not even a second of hesitation to go with that. she lightly kisses the top of twilight's head, since nuzzling is a bit awkward with these human bodies.]

[Her face is still buried against Shy, so it's impossible to see the tiny smile start to show on her face, but she does relax immediately. Somehow, just those two words seem to pop some bubble of doubt and pain inside her.]

Thank you, Fluttershy. Just... thank you.
