Death is only a way that we all have to take, but me
Aeon
This is it Aeon, today is the day that you've waited for, the day that you will be united with the mare that you protected, today is the day that will change your life.
"This is great" I turned around to see Bitrunner. "Don't be nervous, anyway, I am sure she is really more nervous than you are." he was confident, holding my suit.
"Even Prince of Time, I can't predict what will happen, so this is really more what's in my mind"
"Aeon, she love you, and this is all what is important"
"Thank you Bitrunner, you are a real good friend, and this means really much for me."
Satisfied for cheering me up, Bitrunner smiled.
Emma
This is it Emma, this moment is magic, this colt that care so much about you is going to marry you. I should not ruin everything with my manners, I have to stay calm. I took a deep breath. My heart was pumping so fast that I had to sit down.
"Are you okay Emma?" I turned around to see RainFall in her beautiful dress.
"Since when the best mare is prettier than the bride?"
she laughted
"What are you saying? You are going to be so much prettier than me"
While she was helping me putting my dress. I kept asking.
"How am I looking? Is it great like this? Should I change my mane? Am I..." She stopped me
"Everything is fine Emma, Aeon love you and there is nothing, not even the slightest detail that will change his mind"
"Thanks RainFall, you are the best friend somepony could have."
Then I hugged her.
Aeon
Therre was not many ponies from Ponyville in the church of Canterlot, more like many high-class ponies. I hate this kind of audience, they always want what is perfect. On my way, SilverShield saluted me, I saluted him back. I got up on the little stage. I saluted the reverend. Indeed for a personnal reason, I didn't want Celestia to unite me with Emma. Minutes after, she came. She was beautiful, she was walking toward me like an angel with her dress that looks like it was floating. My heart bumped. Everypony was looking at the but she was looking at me. She was at 10 meters from me and I could feel her stress, I could ear her heart beating. That is what you call a magical moment. The reverand started to talk, he said the things that everypony like but don't really listen, Emma and I just stared at each other until he said.
"Prince Aeon, will you love Emma Techwings for the rest of your life or until death separates you?"
I answered
"Now and forever"
"Emma Techwing, will you love Prince Aeon for the rest of your life or until death separates you?"
She answered the same thing.
"Now and forever"
The reverand said the sentence everypony waited for
"I declare you now, Mare and Colt."
Emma and I kissed. The moment felt like an eternity, but... her lips were burning. She suddently broke the kiss in a spasm.
"Emma? Are you okay?" At the moment I finished speaking, she twisted herself, holding her heart in pain, screaming in agony. The power was too strong. It was happening, at the worst moment. What should I do. I got only one option in my head. I took a deep breath. My horn started to glow and I approached it from Emma. She squealed:
"Aeon"
I had no choice but to give her more power, my power, her Alicorn spirit with my Alicorn... "essence" will mix together, creating an overpower that, at the moment that I will do this, will bring physical changes to her body and, release Paradoxus. I had no choice but to respect my duty to free the power without letting be in pain any more second. I touched her forehead with my horn. Everything happened so fast. First I felt on the ground for losing half of my power, than, her body enlightened during around ten seconds. Then the light went away, revealing her Alicorn body. She opened her eyes, the pain was gone. I was still on the ground.
"Aeon? Wha... What happened to me? I... I am..."
I took her head between my hooves.
"I am sorry"
"Sorry? Sorry for what?"
As she said that, a fireball crashed throught the window of the church and destroyed the wall behind us.
Paradoxus was free
"EMMA! RUN!" I shouted as hard as I could so she could understand fast.
She started to run, two other fireballs busted into the church hitting two pillars. As I stood on, Pradoxus came out of the flames and dashes in my direction. I knew I couldn't avoid him to hit me,but I would make the wound to not be an Alicorn killing spot, that are the brain or the heart. He pierced me, right into my stomach, I cought blood at the same time, then he rammed me into the wall behind the altar, witch was in flame. Emma turned around and stopped running
"AEON" She shouted before I saw a pillar falling on her
"EMMA!" I got a tear, of hate, of anger.
I hit Paradoxus so hard with my hoof that his horn broke in my chest, we both felt on the ground. Wounded, he ran away. I pulled out the black horn from my stomach. I health myself as I could, I could still feel Emma alive.
Emma
I cought in the dust. That pillar missed me, but when I turned around, she was laying on the ground crushed by the stone collumn. RainFall pushed me, sacrificing her life to save me. My best friend was dead. But Aeon parole kept resonating in my head: "RUN". I ran as fast as I could, it was hard because of the smoke the fire, the debris from the roof. I was having a hard time to find the exit I saw a light, there was a window, I ran to it, I was going to jump when something hit me and I lost consciousness.
Aeon
I could only see fire everywhere I was still feeling the presence of Emma in the church. I had no choice. Even if this will kill me, death wasn't scaring me anymore, I had to save her, I had to save Emma. I stopped time. The fire stopped moving, keeping it's wavy shape, The pain from my chest not completely health was not helping. I walk slowly, that was the hardest walk of my life. I used so much power for stopping time, even when I only had the half of my power, I was surprised I was still alive. I searched in the wreckage of the church. I hurriesd up because time was going to be back again soon. I saw her, lying on the ground the flames were slowly moving again, I was going to pass out. I started to run, took Emma and as I passed out, we broke throught the window.
Time is nothing more than a pain that keeps me alive
