//------------------------------// // A deal made, and a Creator always keeps their word // Story: Dawn’s Break // by Chemtest //------------------------------// —(Last)— “Who the hell are you?” The divine man simply smiles calmly, “As I said, my name is Creator Chemtest. Please, just call me Chem, I do so much hate titles.” I stare at the man as he simply smiles, “Okay, two things. First, why do you share a name with one of my Champions? Second, why am I here.” The Creator shrugs, “Pure chance and coincidence. How was I to guess that Mr. Patton were to choose my name as his own? Well, I knew it would happen, but it was his choice to name himself that. I truely thought he would’ve kept his name, or at least call himself Chem Patton, but he just chose Chem.” The man looks around, “Come now, we can talk more comfortably sitting down.” I slowly nod at the man, “And you will awnser my questions?” He smiles and nods, “Last, you are important to me, and you deserve these awnsers. I could not bring myself to deprive a most beloved subject of their rights to knowledge. Come, follow me.” I nod, and we start to walk through the house. He starts to point at random people who are there as well, “There is the universal representation of Discord, litterly all but one Discord are here right now within that one body. Also there is Sheogorath, same case as Discord.” He points right next to the Discord, to a divine man who puts out an aura much more playful then his, “Right next to him is Larson, Creator of Chaos, and adoptive father of Discord and Sheogorath.” Then he moves to point at two ponies, and a divine woman who puts out an oppressive aura, “There is the universal representations of Celestia and Luna, and Faust Creator of Order. Same situation as with Discord and Larson. Faust is a good person, just like Larson, but when those two get into fights they are insufferable.” Both twist their heads to face him, “We heard that!” Chem simply shrugs, “They can not deny the truth in the statement.” I watch the exchange with some mirth, “So, what’s with all of this partying?” Chem looks back to me, “Well, we just made the entirety of the multiverse change. No, you, made it change, I just set it up. We are here to watch what happens after.” He continues walking until he comes up to a group of people all watching a huge screen, “Ah, you’re all finnaly here!” They turn around to face him. Two speak in particular, “We remember being so happy when little Raven discovered his magic, and now we know what he is capable of doing.” Chem approaches them, “Ah yes, Mister and Misses Breath, you have truely done a service to the Creators. I do so apologize for pulling you out of your afterlife, but I thought you would want to watch this.” Two others sitting on the couch also speak up, “We also would’ve never guessed we would’ve birthed children with such a big destiny.” He smiles at them, “Ah, yes, the Palmer parents, parents of Slenderman, Avatar, and Survivor. Maybe differnt univereses, but still the same people. One big thing, this is not destiny. It is up to them as to what happens. It is their choices that will affect if they prove deserving of their titles, or not.” He looks around, “Oh, the parents for Chem and Courier didn’t show up? What a shame.” He looks back to me, “Last, go ahead and sit down.” I take a seat, “First, what’s the obsession with the Palmer kid? Three of them are Palmer.” He smiles as he takes a seat, “Because... because of who I am. I can not describe it in words you can understand, and that’s all I can say without the fabric of the universe falling in, sorry.” “Okay, second, why am I here?” He loses his smile, “You have played a great role, and deserve this. Also, I don’t want you to interfere in future events.” I look at him, “What future events? They won, she lost! The Time came!” He looks at me evenly, “Last... the Time has only begun.” I recoil in shock, “What!?” He sighs, “Dawnbreaker defeat and the Harmonic Blast wasn’t the Time, yes it was a great event, but not the Time. No, the Time is way more important than that. I don’t want to seem like a villain, or like I’m ungrateful, but they haven’t done everything yet. They became the Elements, but that was never what the Time was. They still have a hard challenge ahead, harder than anything they’ve ever faced. It will be that challenge that decides what the Time is, if they truely are my Chosen, or if they were false hope. They have yet to earn their place.” I gawk at him, “What is going to happen?” He look me in the eyes, “I cannot know what happens, only hope they make the right choice. You’re going to be here with us as we discover if they made the right choices.” G-Man walks up to him, “I did my side of the deal, Creator. I gave away my powers to Last, I saved him, I brought him here all so your side of the deal would play out. What about your side?” Chem looks up to G-Man, “I am a Creator, I always hold up my end of a deal. Look at the screen, G-Man, and you will see as your wish plays out.” I look between the both of them, “What’s going on, what deal?!” Chem looks to me, “Watch the screen, and see it fold out.” I look back to the screen as it changes from static to the Canterlot throne room, with the six standing there.
