Past Sins - Departures

My tribute to that awesome fanfic that is Past Sins and what was my favorite and simultaneously least favorite part in the entire story. Favorite because it's so well done (in my opinion at least). Least favorite because it's god damn depressing:


--------

Yet, as Celestia moved to the library’s front door, Nyx glanced over to Twilight, who was sitting with her head turned down, eyes hidden by the bangs of her hair. Almost instantly the excitement that had been filling the filly died away. Before Celestia could stop her, Nyx was over by Twilight, looking at the unicorn anxiously.
“Twilight?” she asked gently. “What’s wrong?”
Twilight didn’t answer, didn’t even turn to look at Nyx. She just kept looking down at the floor, body trembling a little as tears flowed from her eyes.
“Twilight?” Nyx ventured to ask again, only for Celestia to move over beside her.
“Twilight will be all right, Nyx.” Celestia tried to reassure the filly, the white alicorn using a hoof to gently guide Nyx towards the door. “Now, come along. If we hurry, we might be able to get back to Canterlot in time to watch Luna raise the moon.”
Nyx, however, squirmed away from Celestia, running back over to Twilight.
“No, I don't want to go anymore. Twilight... Twilight, what's wrong? Why are you crying?”
“Nyx, please, we need to leave.”

Edit: Wow, this is my first submission to get over a hundred faves, and all in one day too. Thank you everyone! It makes me want to do better. Somehow, I'll have to top this 8^)
