Roseluck tried to struggle, but she was beginning to feel cold. The pain was leaving, but now her fears of pain were replacing with a new one: the fear of dying. Tears leaked from her eyes as she turned towards the sky, the last thing she would ever see with her ever-darkening vision. She could barely feel Fluttershy ripping her arteries apart for more blood.

The moon was so bright. And so beautiful. Had Roseluck known this was her last night, she would have accepted Lucky’s proposal. Now she would never again speak to him, to make up their fight. They would never say “I love you” to one another ever again. She would never see her parents or sisters again.

Goodbye…everypony…

These were Roseluck’s last thoughts as her eyes gently closed.

She felt no pain. No sorrow.

Only silence.

This one took a surprisingly short amount of time. I forgot what it was to make a picture in black and white and take less than two hours to draw it. I guess I’ve been drawing comics in this style for so long that I had no idea what it was to do a quick picture with just two characters and one background. I am also quite happy with how the composition came out in this one, the moon in the sky and Fluttershy right underneath it, kind of like being judged by the night for her monstrous acts. I keep trying to give as much atmosphere as I can with the minimum amount of elements in a picture. I’ll let you guys judge whether I’m succeeding or not.

Also, I figured out why the blood is so bright in these pics. It’s something to do with a Hammer.
