3 Months Later...

Remorel was surprised, in such short time Canterlot was now completely restored to it's former glory. Although the loss of life was high, it was replaced by Hallow Shades bat ponies. They deemed the area unsafe, so Celestia offered them sanctuary in Canterlot.

Ponyville was a different story, it was in shambles by the time Remorel and Luna arrived, it is supposed to at least take 7-8 months of continuous work to find missing ponies (dead or alive), rebuild the town, and hunt and kill any present Undead within the area.

The Elements were not pleased, especially Princess Twilight. She now has debts to pay for the Canterlot aid that Celestia provided. Celestia herself said no charge, but the nobles were a different story.

The Princesses in general are healthy again, mainly Luna. They're magic fatigue caused physical sickness and mental sickness, it took awhile but they were back to their normal selves. They even offered Chrysalis a place to stay, although she was hesitant, she accepted.

Remorel himself however, was on the alert. He thought beating Dunmer was to easy, even if he almost lost. The attack patters didn't seem random or forced, it was almost rehearsed. But Dunmer was dead, and he can at least be thankful of that.

It gnawed at him though, there was something else at play here. Remorel knew this realm has it's own deities, could've Dunmer been influenced by one? It was a possibility, but it will have to wait. The blood magic after affects are still present within his body, and it has been giving him severe fatigue.

The princesses were kind enough to care for him though, they knew what he did, and now know what blood magic can do to you if you use it in a single, powerful blow.

Celestia was out in Saddle Arabia for a dignitary meeting, and Luna was given charge, so Chrysalis for the time being was taking care of Remorel.

She changed a lot, her hair wasn't down but in a bud, she now wore glasses (which still seems odd to Remorel), and she wore a dress that was actually cute. And, most of her holes were gone.

She looked very motherly, and her voice matched as well.

"Do you want something else Remorel? I did everything to Luna's specifications." Her voice was softer and not as aggressive, sweet and kind.

"No, you did wonders for me, and I thank you for that." Remorel nodded in approval.

Chrysalis sat on the bed Remorel was resting on, she looked at I'm expectantly.

"Can you tell me a story? Like the ones you told Luna?" She fanned her eyes a little.

Remorel thought for a moment. "They're not pleasant stories, so be warned."

He cleared his throat. "I remember wars that were bloody, disturbing, and out-right evil. The young were sent to die, as the old decided and watched from the sidelines. For example, the Christmas Ceasefire of 1914."

Chrysalis listened intently.

"It was back in my realm, were the Europeans were very bitter with each other. Specifically the British and French, who both were fighting the Germans. The western front of France is were this ceasefire took place, during Christmas. Or for you ponies Hearts Warming."

A few guards walked in, but stopped when they heard Remorel talking.

"Many lives were lost during the war, it was grim on both sides. Worse since the snow bogged down soldiers."

Remorel stared outside his window.

"This line however, was between the British and Germans. On the week of Christmas, fighting along the line was stopping. One night, a British soldier heard singing. The Germans were singing Silent Night on Christmas Eve. Then, the British joined them. All through the night, they sang that song. Humans, who believed peace can be possible..."

Remorel started humming Silent Night. He stopped a while after.

"The next morning was Christmas. It was silent. No artillery, no shouting, no gunfire, no screaming... Then a German soldier crawled out of his trench, and walked into no mans land. Hands raised, unarmed. Then, a British officer did the same. Then more Germans and British forces came out of their trenches. And they greeted each other. Some even gave gifts to each other. German chocolate for British tea, they even exchanged family photos."

"Then, somebody found a ball. Both sides began to play soccer. Some made makeshift chess boards and used bullets as game pieces. They even danced with each other."

Remorel stopped for a second. "Then, the gunfire started again in the distance, and both sides looked at each other. They went back to their trenches and began fighting again. Although not as intense. Some parts of the line just completely stopped fighting. But the Generals said to continue fighting."

Remorel looked back at Chrysalis, to find she wasn't alone anymore. A few guards, Luna and Celestia, and three of Elements were there as well.

"Your home is a strange one." A guard commented.

"Never said it wasn't." Remorel retorted.

"Considering my home doesn't have talking ponies." Remorel smiled.

"That one is new, even by all the war stories you witnessed. The flow I got from just listening to you talk about these Humans were very gruesome ones. Telling me Humans are evil. Then I hear this, and it seems more like some humans, even if they killed each other, can still find peace among the chaos." Celestia said with a slight frown.

"Humans never ceased to amaze me. Their spirits are strong, and sharpened for greatness." Remorel stared off into the distance for a moment, forgetting he was with company.

"Remorel?" Luna spoke softly.

Remorel was brought back to reality, "Yes Luna?"

"How are you feeling? Is the blood magic still reaping off you?"

"No, its almost gone. To be honest the power to divide a planet would probably destroy my being." Remorel smiled.

"How can you find this funny?" Celestia asked.

"Simple. I never destroyed a planet."

Everyone in the room was silent.

"The exhaustion I received from just destroying a person was dreadful, I cant even imagine a planets worth."

Celestia nodded slightly. "Yes, that would be a nightmare..."

-----Castle Gardens---

Celestia sat next to Remorel, watching the birds as they flew by.

"Hey Remorel..." Celestia said quietly.

"Yes?"

"Do you know what love is..?" Celestia asked with a small blush.

Remorel looked in the distance. "Yes, I do know what it is..."

Celestia moved closer to Remorel. "Well...I was wondering...Did you ever share it with someone with the same feelings as you?"

Remorel watched her. "Yes...But it happened 78,000 years ago. So I say its long gone."

Celestia leaned against Remorel and sighed softly.

Even if he is Death, he should be loved like anypony or anybody else... Celestia smiled as she leaned her head against Remorel's side.

"Can you tell me a story? Maybe one that's not so violent?"

Remorel chuckled. "Let's see...I got one."

He wrapped his arm around Celestia, holding her close.

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away..."

Author's Notes:

This has been a good story I say. But vote on pt.2? maybe.

But it has been a journey. And you all read my try at a dedicated story. And I appreciate the love and criticism it received. Hopefully this isn't the end of The Dark Entity, but we'll see with the Like/Hate ratio.

Anyway, thank you all, and have a good day.
