>you will never save the kingdom with Celestia
>you will never ride her, exhausted, through the cheering crowds greeting your return
>you will never keep the medal she presented you with wrapped in velvet, tucked inside your gauntlet as a good-luck charm
>"That way you'll always be with me."
>Her eyes meet yours for a moment before she wordlessly pulls you into a hug
>as she releases the hug, she looks you up and down before again locking your gaze
>"Why would a being from another world seek to don armour and serve the Canterlot Court?"
>you consider your options, before strapping on your armour again and pulling the guards' bellrope
>you gently scratch behind her ears as the key scratches in her office door
