With their three spirits now apart of a new realm, their pains are no more. The other two may be mad at Applebloom for now, but they will ultimately forgive her and say that her actions were the right thing to do. The bond they share is still strong, but in the new realm they find themselves in, the pain, suffering, and trauma is nothing but a bad memory and/or inconvenience at most. Their loved ones will quickly learn the full story they left behind and will see their sacrifice as noble like a solider fighting to the death to save his squad. This is not the end, but rather the next chapter for the CMC. The demands of the bond were there to guide them to this phase. But the real question is... what's next for the CMC? Will they wait for their loved ones to join them? Will they help out others in this new world like they did their own? Will they do something that allows them to be once more connected to their homes and families? Will the seemingly indestructible bond break apart? Will they have to suffer the same incident a second time?* *Like most questions, the answer may never be known.* *So charish your time with those close to you, but make sure the bond you share is maintained and regulated.

But if you get your cutie mark doesn't that mean its ingrained into your body even if you remove it?? Like your stuck with it now?

[@Draconicus702]

@@TakumiLucius except whenever Starlight removed cutie marks, it did much more than just take away the marks on their flanks. It literally took away the very magic and effects that the marks had on the ponies And there's no reason why it wouldn't do the same for The CMC here. It may have some unwanted effects, but given a a choice. I'm sure the girls would rather lose the marks, if it meant the pain would stop.

[@TakumiLucius]

Ah. I kinda blocked that episode outta my brain I think....or missed it mayhaps. Thank you for clearing it up. :3

[@VS-eb8vk]

I find the part where Sweetie Belle carves a heart piece shape of her skin to mark the point where she really started to lose it. The fact she was willing to subject herself to that kind of pain just to create "art" implies the suffering her cutie mark is putting her through is literally driving the kid crazy.

[@Stopitpls]

So those stallions just kept running as Applebloom stood in front of them That’s dedication

[@Quantumact2908]

Priorities

[@alphonselover825]

The stallions were pulling a train. It's not that they're dedicated, it's that they can't just suddenly stop to avoid hitting her. Trains in real life need at least a mile to slow down to a stop if they're traveling 55mph. I'd imagine it's the same for the pony world.

[@alyssagriffin9180]

Exactly

[@ace_of_cups4096]

I've probably listened to this 50 times, but I just now realized... The adults never notice the eye bleeding?? What if it's all in their heads. The pain and all is real, yah, but the bleeding eyes and nostrils? What if THAT is a hallucination?

[@Awkward_Author]

Heh and I thought I was clingy! But in all seriousness, this story is both chilling, and creative. Taking things farther than just simple pony stuck in the woods cliques and making a dark, creative, and sad story. So, may the story of these crusaders continue on from where ever they are, without pain, without suffering, and with happiness

[@Honeypot22-o7r]

I can’t help but wonder of what would’ve happened if they just cut off their cutie marks. Maybe that would have separated their bond, taken away their special talent sure, but it probably would’ve saved them.

[@RYMAN1321]

You need to read "His Own Personal Heaven". It's the most heartbreaking, emotionally intense, but powerful MLP Fic ever. Likely because it was partially based off of the writer's real life experience with a severe illness. It brought me to tears Partially in part because I myself went through something similar, albeit it was not nearly as life threatening.

Before they got all messed up in the head. Also ending was a little wordy, before the train hit. Did like the idea of Applebloom still feeling the pain and hearing Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle even after death. Very good idea. Interesting and fun listen

Man after i think about a full year I decided to rewatch this because I remember it freaking me out so much and damn it did not dissapoint.

I just can't seem to lose focus on this gruesome masterpiece, I just can't seem to forget about it... I just can't seem to... *stay apart...*

The story is hella good, and the concept is very interesting! The one problem I have is that the Sweetie Belle VA sounds really whiny in every line, and I feel that the tone just takes away the feeling the story is meant to invoke.

[@leef2305]

Agreed. Other than that I think the sweetie VA was great. Just spoke alittle slow and whiny.

[@wolfhorselover1718]

The reason why sweetie belle's voice is like that is because if you watched mlp friendship is magic and compare the two is because scribbler wanted genuine voice actors for all three of them

I think she did really good! Sure, there were a couple times where her voice maybe went a little to high or whiny, but overall I liked Sweetie’s voice the best.
