"Not who is important - those whose stories are," Celestia correctly gently, although she understood the unfairness of it all. But as a leader, she also knew that difficult decisions had to me made. If all could not be saved, then there had to be some way to decide which ones would be saved, out of those that could. "But I am afraid I cannot tell you who decided which stories were more important that others."

It was all too easy for her to tell why Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie had been the ones to be rescued from Equestria - they were the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, and had restored Luna to her true self. And she herself were naturally an important figure, as Princess. But she nonetheless mourned for those of her subjects who stories were smaller, and who would have perished along with Equestria.

"Yes, we are," she said, her voice strengthening, and gaining the confidence and command of a ruler. "And we have an important duty. For while our worlds have been destroyed, all hope is not lost. If we can work together and defeat the Ohm, there is a chance that we may restore our homes. We must not lost hope."
