The pony that the gruff male pony was talking to was a female...
Meaning only one thing...
They found me.

The guards and Cheerilee found me...
I was doomed.

It was happening again.

The Golden Wolf's Prophecy:
No, no! Everything before this was supposed to happen. Not this! This is out of the plans!! How are they back!? Oh no, will she be able to do it? I can only watch.
It's so hard to watch and do nothing.
But that's all I can do.
I can't do anything else...

Will she be able to prove herself...
Again?
I hope so.

....

I looked behind me at the peaceful, and sleeping others....
I needed to protect them.
I couldn't let them get hurt.
If they take me, then that's all they will want... They will not touch them.
I'll be the sacrifice.
I'm always the sacrifice.

I sighed and looked back at the others for what I thought would be the last time...

With tears in my eyes, I said what I thought to be my last parting words to them...

"W-Welp, I guess this is it..." I began with a shaky whisper voice. "I'll miss you guys... Until our paths cross again... Farewell, everyone... I'm keeping my p-promise." I said to them, quietly.

With the last glance, I shifted my eyes toward the door. I wasn't looking back. I was going to give it my all, and I would battle 'til the end.

I didn't come for a fight, but I will fight 'til the end.

I cracked the door open and peered out without the two ponies noticing.

The female, Cheerilee, I presumed, laughed. Her crackled and poison grin formed on her face...

The guard stood by her, obeying orders. He was clearly poisoned, and he obviously wouldn't do this if he didn't have to...

....I needed to do this.
