This got away from me...was meant to be a small thing to get outta my head, then 1k words later it's still not done, but I cannot figure out an actual end, so it's just ends abruptly.
"Only one heir is needed. Fight to the death to get rid of the spare."
Swords clash against one another. A fierce duel where neither combatant wants to win. Both fighters back away from each other. Identical childish (7yrs) faces mirror each other. Sky blue eyes lock with forest green ones. Eyes that scream in pain for what must be done. The victor was known to them before their blades first touched.
Danyal thinking to himself:
I love and care for Dami. I always do all the tasks for the league, killing any and all, so that Dami never has to bloody his hands. Dami's an artist, a creator; he shouldn't have to do this. I can not harm my little brother. I love him. I have protected him from things I hope he never knows. How can grandfather expect me to harm Dami. I cannot ever hurt him. There is only one way this goes. I'm sorry Damian, please forgive me.
Damian thinking to himself:
I know I have always been protected by Danyal. I know that Danyal has been harmed before in my place. I know that I have never killed. Grandfather expects me to die, as I am the weaker one. No, not weak, never weak. Danyal has always told me my talents are to create, so why should I ever have to bloody myself? I cannot hurt Danyal, but I know he cannot harm me. There's only one way this goes. I'm sorry Danyal, please forgive me.
Damian gets a hit in. His sword is plunged through Danyal's chest. The duo huddle into each other in a facsimile of a hug. Danyal whispers into Damian's ear
"It's fine, I'm fine, you're fine, I'm sorry, Dami. Forgive me. I'm so sorry, I forgive you. I love you. I-I Forgive You." The presumably final words ever to be spoken by Danyal Al Ghul.
Damian stayed stoic as well as he could with his brother's blood on his hands. His dead brother by his own hands. Oh, how much in that moment, Damian wishes he could cut off his hands.
Danyal's body gets carted away, all traces he ever existed erased. Except for the sword now owned by Damian, an engraving of stars upon the hilt. While Damian's sword with a pencil and paint brush carved in the hilt gets thrown in the pit with Danyal, neither surfacing forever to be apart of the pit.
Fast forward, Damian's lived with Wayne's since 10
Bruce decided that for Damian's 14th birthday, he would organize a surprise for him. A section of the Gotham museum to hold and showcase his artistic ability. Damian is an artist. Anything and everything is his medium. Many, many sketch books get filled by him. Most (all) of which the rest of the family has never seen. Painting is the one outlet that Damian rarely uses. Or does so in secret. As canvases are harder to hide than books.
Bruce ropes in the rest of his kids to help. The kids help because if it goes good, they'll add their name to the gift. They end up going through all of Damian's works to find items to showcase. (None of them even once think how going through his art will not make him happy)
Several sketch books are seemingly filled with self-portraits. The family, upon seeing the endless self-portraits, starts thinking that Damian might be way more self-absorbed than they ever imagined. Several who noticed are confused as to why the eyes are always greener than blue. Everything changes when Cass stumbles upon a very well-hidden canvas.
Two identical young boys wearing league clothes, smiling softly, only distinguished by their eye colors. The one on the right with crystal clear blue eyes is depicted with tears rolling down his face, while his right arm holds up a sword, with blood dripping down the blade, hitting the ground. His left hand rests by his side with bloody fingertips. The one on the left with forest green eyes has his left arm raised, also holding a sword. But his sword seems to be made of blood; the blood flows down his arm, connecting to a bloody chest wound. His right hand rests by his side, dripping in blood. A hauntingly beautiful painting with so much agony and pain seen in every brush stroke. Signed by Damian. - The title on the back calls it "I'm Sorry Dear Brother"

Watching your video (still not done bc five hours) i remembered something that just keeps bothering me:
Sombra destroyed the Tree of Harmony.
SOMBRA did what DISCORD couldn't.
Remember those damn vines from, what was it the season 4 premier? Yeah those.
Sombra did in one afternoon what those things couldn't do in 1000 years... against a weakened tree.
The f-
I have made this joke before but like.
Discord brought Sombra back. On purpose.
Discord brought Sombra and several other villains back SPECIFICALLY so they could attack the protagonists of the show.
Discord WANTED them to cause mayhem, to give the heroes a 'lesson'.
...Discord brought Sombra back so he could destroy the ONLY weapons his 'friends' had to use against him. the Elements of Harmony are destroyed, and because of it, they could never stop him if he acts up again.
Discord brought a bad guy to do his bidding then had him killed as a fall guy and wiping out evidence x'D
Fr tho it is kinda dumb but I'm pretty sure the showrunners realised they had trapped themselves ina corner by giving the protagonists win buttons since season 1, and knew they had to erase the win button on the final season for "Stakes"
...Which is funny because the "Stakes" in question are artificial, Discord is making them up.
The irony being that if this show didn't rely on violence and big conflicts as finales, the Elements of Harmony wouldn't need to be used AND disabled as 'weapons' because they wouldn't be commonly used as weapons. yet, they're VERY commonly used as weapons, effective ones at that.
And then woop even without the elements, friendship magic can still melt peoples faces off. So it doesn't matter

Poundcake just wanted to try out his new retro videogame console, that's all. But now he's a ninja, Feinberg is a trident, and they're being given a quest by a strange man in a strange vehicle with dubious intentions. Something about a temple and an eye?
They're god-tier runners, they can figure it out. Probably.
