The smell of the body of a dead enemy is always good

Emma
I woke up outside, I was on Aeon, he wasn't dead, he stopped time once again to save me. Then I looked at the flaming church, I could hear screams and ponies burning alive inside. Where the hell was Celestia. I was not used to be an Alicorn an Alicorn so when I stood up, my new shape distabilised me. I saw him throught the brokn window, that black alicorn, well, he had no more horn, with red eyes was coming towards us. I was scared.
"Aeon, wake up, hurry, WAKE UP PLEASE!"
He was going to cross the window when a dark red hoof hit him in the face from the sides. Bitrunner.
"You are not going closer from them long as I will be alive."
Paradoxus stood back on and saw the pegasus with a face half burnt with only one wing remaining. Bitrunner was not smiling at all. The demon laughted.
"Oooh, I like this idea"
Both were crouched in fighting position and were looking at each other. Paradoxus made the first move, with his wings, he dashed towards Bitrunner. The pegasus turned around and used his back legs to knock out his attacker. The Prince of nightmares dashed once again toward the colt, but this time, he dodged the kick and rammed Bitrunner, hitting him brutally against the wall, breaking two ribs. The dark red colt let a squeal as Paradoxus took his head and pierced his eye in the glass of the broken window. The pegasus screamed I agony, I couldn't do anything, I didn't knew how to cast magic, all I did was crying, while seeing my other best friend getting killed. Paradoxus put his Right front leg around Bitrunner's neck causing him to look at me. He stared at me with his remaining eye.
"I am sorry" Paradoxus broke his neck, killing him instantly
"Hahaha, what an entertainement this little one." 
He walked throught the broken window. My mind was burning the only word who came in my mind was "Help"
Suddently, SilverShield jumped throught the portal and dashed on Paradoxus, spear in front of him. The weapon penetrated the demon throught his back, pierced his heart and got out in the front of his body. The black Prince squealed a shrill scream while coughing blood. He felt on his knees, then on the ground. He was dead.

Aeon
I woke up to see Emma crying on me and SilverShield pulling out his spear of Paradoxus dead body. Emma, seeing me alive kissed me to finish what we've started. She was so happy to see me. I saw the same sparkle in her eyes like the first time I saw her. I remember what was her cutiemark, A white spot in the middle of a black zone.
"Emma, your cutiemark is the symbol of hope, you are now Princess Emma, Princess of Hope."
The water in her eyes was like pearls raining. She hugged me has hard as she could, the church wasn't burning anymore and nothing could go more wrong. That's what we thought before a biright light appeared and all went black.

When colors came back, I froze, I knew this place. Celestia was standing in front of us. We were on the mountain of judgement.
"Do you know why you are here Aeon and Emma?" She asked with her imposing stature
Neither Me or Emma answered the Princess
"Your union caused the death of aroud two thousand ponies, this union is classed as dangerous, not only this, put Aeon, your tranformed a pony into an immortal without the permission of the Alicorn council, you are now bot banned to be dematerialized for the rest of eternity."
I objected
"NO! Let Emma stay in Equestria, I will talke the wholes consequences."
"Aeon, you are both banned and there is nothing you can do"
She was wrong
"Let her in Equestria or the Time will end." Celestia was scared of this.
"Ok then, Aeon, you will be banned for eternity in the invisible zone, I will let you a little goodbye time."
Emma was crying.
"Aeon, you don't need to do this, let me come with you."
"No, Emma, in the invisible zone, there is nothing you can do, in Equestria, as the Princess of Hope, you have so much to accomplish."
I kissed her, crying, I could feel her salty tears on my lips. She held me until everything started to dissapear. It was the time.
"Emma, I want to physically see you smile one last time."
She grinned, Trying her best to smile while crying. Then I said:
"I love you Emma"
She replied
"I love you too Aeon"
We both dissapeared.

Emma
Why, why this have to happen to me. The colt that I united myself with, that sacrificed the half of his powers, the one that risk his life for me, the one that fought death death only to protect me is gone, forever. I appeared where I was outside the church.
"Princess Emma! Are you okay?"
"Yes Captain, thank you"
He helped me to get back on my hooves. 
"Where is sir Aeon?"
"He is gone, forever SilverShield. My first orders as a Princess is to request you, Captain SilverShield, to be my personal guard."
"It will be my honor, Princess."
SilverShield and I flew back to Ponyville.
