Celestia: Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?
Twilight: That's just it. Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them.
Celestia: Spike, take a note please. I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship; she must report to me her findings; from her new home in Ponyville!
"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you."
—Samwise Gamgee, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
