We all have a choice but sometimes, fate take decisions

I watched her growing up. Every seconds of her life is known by my memory. She have the best learning skills I've see for centuries, she learned to walk in a single day and to speak perfectly in a week. She had the best grades in school and was friend with everypony. She is sociable, intelligent, funny and trustable. She is the kind of pony you like so much it makes you sorry. She recently had her cutiemark, it's actually a mouse, a computer mouse. She learnt in five minutes how the computer worked. Even I, was impressed.

Later, after eighteen years of waiting, I made a move. I appeared at the edge of ponyville, far from all the eyes to see, as a unicorn, pale blue like my original colors and my long pale blond mane. The last time I materialised myself was about a thousand years ago. I walked on the ground once again, I stood up like I was walking yesterday. I felt a little bit rusty but dematerialisation does not affect the shape of your body, even if I am immortal and can't getting older. I don't even remember my birth date. I remeber that my unicorn form was called Eclipse, Eclipse Nightime. I had the shape of a young pony of 18 years old, like Emma. 

I started to walk toward the city. As the sun rose from the east, I remembered this old Celestia that was once my friend. We stop seeing each other because times were getting rought in Equestria. The city was welcoming with the smell of the morning bread, even if the town was still asleep, the bakers already started their business. I went at Emma's house and knocked at the door. I knew every brick that compose this city, every citizen, every moments of it's history. I remembered everything that this city lived during half a second. Suddenly, Emma opened the door, rubbing her eyes with her hoof. Then she looked at me and stopped. She stared at me like if I was somepony she didn't saw for a long time, like if she knew me. She was plunging in my eyes like the first time I saw her. We stared at each others during a good minute before she made the first move.
"Hum, can I help you?" her voice sounded like an angel. I was used to hear her voice through  the... how can I call it... the invisible wall. Then I immediately answered.
"Oh, yes, hum, hello" I tried to sound a little bit shy and lost. "I just came in town and I was wondering if there was a place that I could install myself" I knew the old Ponyville hotel at the other side of the city but remembering her hospitality for newcomers, I was pretty sure she was going to say...
"Oh you don't need to go to this old place, instead, I can show you a tour of our city" I didn't saw this tour part coming but I just went with it.
"Sure, why not"
She started to walk by my side, telling me pretty much things I already know about Ponyville.
"So, new guy, what's your name"
"Eclipse, Eclipse Nightime, but you can call me only Eclipse."
"Oh I see, it's matching with your cutie mark that is a black circle in front of the moon." Then she did one of those smile that melt down your heart. We talked and walked around ponyville all day. It was late in the day when I almost gave myself away.
"Celestia's humor is really fragile." Why did I even said that. I was yelling at myself in my head
"You Know the princess?" She was overflowing with joy. 
"Well, it's kind of a long story and it's getting late so I am better be moving see y..." She literally cut me and grabbed me.
"NO! I want to know. You can install yourself in my house, I have a spare room." Another melting-heart face. I couldn't refuse her hospitality and accepted her offer.

Even the smallest of things can change the way of time
