Chapter 121: 121 - To Accept Happiness

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Silver watched Celestia stroll from the court with a smile. He was happy. Everyone was happy...

Something was wrong. He turned sharply to darkness, and hovering before him were words.

Your rainbow has come at last. Why aren't you happy?

Silver pawed at the ground. "After all this, I've gotten a bit untrusting, which itself bothers me a little. How can I know this is true? I've already watched two of my realities collapse violently into themselves, each with their own sorrows and problems, but great things too."

You should quit while you're ahead. Accept the happy ending, and be the heroic prince of Equestria.

"Or?"

There was a moment of silence. No words appeared, and there was nothing but darkness for several long and awkward ticks between then.

If you must, you could turn back to the first mistake. You will find your truth, but give up so much. It would not be your rainbow. On the other hand, I could make a promise then.

Silver raised a brow, even as he filled with dread and curiosity. "And what would that promise be?"

You will never be fooled in this way again. Even more astute than Luna, you will know the true nature of the reality you are aware of. Dream, lost reality, vision, or anything else.

"What will I lose?"

Who could say? I imagine you don't know where the story took this turn. I do, of course. No, I won't be telling. Don't do this. It may break you.

"You've said that before." He scowled at the words. "I'm tired of being treated both as a hostile alien and a delicate doll, one moment from breaking. I can handle it!"

Can you? Are you willing to say goodbye to some of the relations you've built? You were quite saddened last time this happened, and that wasn't long ago.

Silver licked over his lips. "Would I lose my wives?"

Two.

Silver reeled back.

Accept the happy ending.

Author's Notes:

What is Text even talking about? What gross typo does it allude to, and should we just accept the happy ending for what it is, or risk so much more?

Author's Notes:

He doesn't listen, and clearly you don't either...

Sigh.

Fine. If you insist, then travel with him. I bid you, awaken as he does, and learn to appreciate what you have, here.
