Love of Darkness
Chapter 17: Dreams and River Song (The end. part two.)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhen the dust finally settled, in a crater which was about the size of the entire town, layed three stallions. A earth pony with tan fur and a blue mane, a unicorn with fur as black as night and a mane of gold, and a Pegasus with bone white fur and a mane of black and red with his tail to match.
The unicorn made it to his hooves first followed by the other two and let out a hacking cough.
"Did we win?" He said as the other two looked at each other, then just smiled and both just laughed.
"Yea bro, we won." Ezio said as they all heard a moan coming from a nearby crater to see a fallen Pegasus.
"R-R-Rainbow Dash... T-T-Thunder Boom....I'll see you soon." The beast said in pained and quiet tone as he leaped towards Ezio and digging his hooves in his head.
----------------------------------
The beast came towards me too fast. I couldn't even flinch before I started seeing images in my head. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I didn't know why till I saw two pictures of him and Rainbow Dash at their wedding and Dontoa being the best man. The next picture was... I just can't believe it. It was him and Rainbow Dash admiring a colt that had his hair and Rainbow Dash's skin. Before anything, I was in a mysterious place and across from me was the beast himself, me.
"I'm the beast." I just couldn't accept this.
"No Ocrassen. You WERE the beast, but not anymore." The bea- the older me said with a smile.
"But I don't get it, you killed your wife. Why?" I said.
"The answer come with a story. Back when I was you, I was dating Rainbow Dash then got her pregnant. We were more than excited, I was finally going to be something I- we never had, a father. Years after Thunder was born, I started releasing energy and ended up having so much energy back up, I turned into the beast. I killed everypony, even my son. I couldn't believe what I did. I was a broken stallion, so in my moment of weakness I decided that if I could go fast enough, I could rip a hole in time to transport back to this time so you could kill me and ensure that my future never happens to you." The older me said.
I was lost, he killed his wife in his time, then he came here to kill her.
"Then why did you kill Dash?" I said as he slowly trotted towards me.
"I didn't want to kill her, she chose to save you to kill herself." The other me said with a tear. "You're going to do fine Ezio. When you became Astrial, you drained enough energy where you will never have to do it again. I'm very proud of you Ezio." His words caught me off guard. No one has ever said they were proud of me. I just couldn't hold myself back to give him a hug, and I did just that.
"Will I ever find love again." I ask him-or my self. Whatever this is confusing me.
"Oh spoilers Ezio. You know we hate those." He said with a smile.
Did I just pull a River Song on myself?
"But you will find it from a certain mare you work for." He said backing away from me. "
"Mare I work fo- SPITFIRE!!" I yelled as he started to fade away.
"Spoilers docter." He said finally completely vanished as the world around me started to shatter and go black.
