//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: A secret in the heart // Story: The line between hope and time. // by Prince Aeon //------------------------------// Don't hold your tears because none of them cause pain Emma couldn't stop to move in the train to Canterlot she was so excited about the wedding that I could feel her energy from my place. The train passed through the shield and the Great city revealed itself. Emma's eyes were sparkling. She never went to Canterlot before. This moment was a dream coming true. "Thank you so much Eclipse for bringing me at the wedding" "It's my pleasure Emma" I smiled and she smiled back. As we arrived, she literally jumped out of the train, bouncing everywhere, she was the happiest pony in Equestria. We went straight to the castle where Celestia herself was waiting for us. We "bow" in front of her and I could easily feel Emma's stress. She was sweating, she was so shy to be in front of who they called "The Most Powerful Pony in Equestria". "So you are the pony Eclipse told me about?" Celestia and I were "sending mail" to each other. For real, we were talking. "Y...Ye...Yes Princess Celestia, It...it's...it is an honor to meet you." "Don't need to be shy little one, may you both follow me to your room." During the long walk through the castle, Emma kept asking question to Celestia that answered each one of them slowly with her divine voice. When we arrived, i asked Emma to install herself in the room while I tell Celestia something. "You felt it?" I asked Celestia, outside the room, where nopony could ear us. "She is powerful and intelligent, but I don't trust her..." "WHAT! YOU DON'T TRUST HER?!?!" I felt that somepony was watching us but I did not care. "I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE TO PROTECT HER AND MAKE HER HAPPY AND YOU DON'T EVEN TRUST HER!!!" The little curious stopped listening. "Aeon, I..." "No, I don't want to hear it, think anything you want but there is no way I am going to change my mind, I am going to liberate this power without hurting her, if you accept it or refuse it" I turned around and went back into the room. I didn't even looked at Celestia before I closed the door. I saw Emma sitting on the other side of the bed, looking down. "Emma? Are you okay?" I don't even think she listened "Would you even give your life for me?" I didn't hesitate "Yes of course I... oh so you are the one who listened to us, you know that this is not polite." She ignored me. "Do you trust me?" "Yes I..." "Would you like me even in pain or in sadness?" "Of course Emma I..." "Would you marry me Eclipse?" "Yes I, HOLD ON WHAT!!!" Love is the best of weapon and hate is the worst excuse She slowly turn her head towards me. Her eyes were filled with tears but none of them were falling. She was smiling. My heart exploded. She repeated "Would you marry me Eclipse?" I couldn't resist her. She was amazing, the power she was creating with her love was burning my soul. I slowly walked toward her. Took her head between my hooves. I don't regret any single word. "I will marry you Emma, I loved you since the day I saw you" She kissed me
