Final Moments: Farewell Equestria...

Many centuries ago... Deep in the Everfree Forest a long, ferocious battle was coming to an end... William was tired, battered, and loosing blood fast. If the manticore didn't kill him, the blood loss and venom coursing through his body would. However his injuries didn't deter his spirit, his will to fight on. He had to slay this beast, he absolutely had to! The stallion spat out a bit of blood and pushed himself up with the end of his spear, breathing ragged and sight growing blurry. He could just barely see the manticore up head... Mustering what little strength he had left he raised his spear right as the large beast began to charge at him. This was it, all or nothing. He had to make his move now even if it killed him. The creature lunged at him, claws swiping furiously with teeth bared. Taking his chance William clutched his spear and dashed forward, skidding to a halt and lobbing the point right at the charging beast. His weapon flew forward and pierced the manticore clean through the skull, the creature letting out a roar before toppling over. The spear tip glistened, sticking out of the back of the beast's head. With his task done and no strength left to celebrate his victory William managed to hobble over to one of the many trees, slowly sitting and leaning back against it. Letting out a tired sigh he his gaze drifted upward to the moon in the sky, a weak smile forming on his lips. "...L-Luna...B-before I go...Please...Watch over Stella and Orchid for me... This is it for me... I hear Opal calling for me... Shouldn't keep the wife waiting, you know...?" Letting out one last chuckle his eyes closed, the stallion slumping over, breathing his final breath.
