Inside Nathaniel's Mind.
Luna stood with Celestia, the sight before them brought back memories that no pony should ever witness. The day the "Soul of Man" was put to the test. They stood in the throne room of Canterlot's Castle. Celestia stood standing on the throne, Nathaniel stood in front of her, His Human self shielding her from the piercing gaze of the large creature that invaded the halls. This Mass of flesh, blood, and putrid darkness, its soulless eyes gazed around the room. It let out a horrid wheezeing sound as it breathed. Celestia could not believe her eyes, this... mass of thing... It was the pure emobdyment of Plague, Famine, Death, Torture, Disease, and Evil. Twilight Sparkle laid beside Celestia's throne, she was severely injured, and barely holding on. Her body was covered in cut's and gashes, her mane shredded, and tail a complete wreck. Nathan stood between the monster and the ponies. His body pulsated, magic flowed throughout his veins, a pure look of utter hatred was cast to the monster. He had his staff ready in front of him, the large blue sapphire hummed with his magical essence.
With every fiber of his being, he jumped. So powerful, that is cracked the very marble of the throne itself into the floor. Celestia was left speechless as she tried to keep Twilight stable. a Small crater left where he stood. The creature let out a Spine chilling roar as it charged Nathan. Colliding their weapons Clatter together, a Shock wave of pure energy shot from both of them, blowing out the windows and shattering the floor even more. This horrid putrid beast breathed heavily as it tried to over-power the young boy, but his unrivaled magic could not be stopped. Letting out a Yell, that stemmed from a place far beyond his own soul. It was the yell that emanated beyond his mortal self, the yell that pierces the ears of thousands everywhere, One that had the cry of the entirety of the human race, in lament for the wrong they did, the monster they created that stood before them. This thing was everything humans did to mother earth, and now they were fighting back to show they could still be saved, and given another chance. The Creature doubled back in pure terror, nothing ever scared it but now, this ... Human left it speechless so to speak. His eyes were visibly emanating a fire that its soulless eyes feared.
What happened next was a display of pure and utter hatred. Nathaniel, having witnessed his world plunged into utter chaos, people he knew were slaughtered while he could not save them. Creatures, helpless to stop the poison that spread throughout. What he never told Celestia was the world he ran from, the time... he ran from was the future that this world would have if he did not save it. This was mans test to redeem its self in the eyes of the forces, and redeem he shall, or he will die doing so.
His staff he held in his hand, glowed with unparalleled magic, the sapphire barely able to contain the pure energy of pure souls that flowed throughout him. Outside laid bodies of pony's and helpless victims that humanity's stupidity killed. Even when humans no longer existed, their taint no were near this planet, still managed to mess everything up. Striking the monster with his staff, a large and searing wound broke open across its chest, letting out a cry of pain as it felt something it thought it was immune to. Nathaniel roared his leg up and kicked the monster, sending it soaring into a solid wall, with a loud *Thuuu WHAM* as it smashed into it, pain wracked the creatures mutilated body. The Alicorn's watched hidden, as Celestia cried softly, Her favored pupil in tatters, and watching the pain and agony this Child had to deal with. The skin of his body was beginning to sear due to the uncontrollable power the welled in him. He may have been chosen, but his age was not helping, he had to end it soon or else this would end badly. The Creature stomped as it charged, screaming anger and blood curdling cries of anguish. It slamed its bone sword arm, clashing again against Nathans staff, another visible crater riddled the ground again. He then punched the monster, sending it staggering back, quickly following it up with another force shattering kick into the wall again, but this time, he charged after it, his staff melded into a Sword, One that took all the anguish of every desperate human soul, charged it into a single beam of pure, retribution and with a final thrust, sent it all into this monster.
The energy immediately Flowed out from him, through the sword and entered this creature. It glowed a Piercing white as it began to be destroyed from the inside out, the pain of every human to die at its hands surged throughout the mangled flesh of this corpse. And with a final explosion, the monster imploded upon itself, sending a healing wave of forgiveness and revitalizing energy throughout all of Equestria. And in its wake, stood the spirit of "Mother Nature" Who smiled.
"Long, and far. Wide and near, I came to test the Son of Man. I came here to see, after witnessing everything you have, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself without reward, without payment, to save a race that you held no ties to. The plague of man was destroyed by that which created it, Because you sought to redeem your race, even after the hardships you faced growing up, so that you would allow those in the beyond to go with peace. Because of what you have done for This world, for its inhabitants, I will Forgive you." She gracefully touched Nathan upon his head. The young man knelt on the ground, his body wracked with pain feeling everything of everyone simultaneously was more then one human should stand to bear. Before it all suddenly washed away like a revitalizing bath.
He stood up, seeing the beautiful spirit before him. "Thank you Nathaniel Grey, Son of man. You have given me hope, that one day, your race may still yet do great things. But time must mend that which was lost." She spoke, gracing him one last gift. "May you find peace, and long life. So you may experience the joy of helping others throughout all the worlds you visit." She smiled one last time. Going over to Twilight, she knelt down, healing her of all her wounds. Celestia smiled. "Thank you." Mother nature just nodded. "Thank The Son of man." She spoke before slowly fading away in a soft breeze of leaves, that fluttered out the windows.
What Luna had Witnessed, Left her in tears. Celestia stood beside her, remembering every moment of that day. Hearing all the cries of Pony's everywhere, the horrible cries of pain... She cried, tears streamed down her face and splashed into the ground. Luna had never seen her sister so emotional over something like this, but what Nathan did, she now understood why it was Celestia held him in such high esteem. He did exactly what the woman said. He stood against that which was beyond words, something that could not be destroyed, and was willing to sacrifice his life, for the mistakes of his people, even though he had no reason to. He selflessly gave himself to save Equestria.
Suddenly the world swirled into a black vortex, and they all awoke with in the room. Luna stood up as she caught her bearings, Celestia did the same to. Nathan, lied there, eyes opened, but tears flowed from them. His hands clenched, "Why... would i ever forget, something like that." He said between his cries. Celestia sat beside him, her eyes held tears, as she relived the day... He stood up and walked to the door, looking back to the Princesses. "Thank you both, for what you have done for me. I pray I will someday be able to repay you. I have a matter i must attend to." and he took his leave. Luna took a step but looked back to Celestia. She shook her head, and walked with her back to her room. They sat together, comfort in each others embrace. That night Celestia wept like none other before.

The Dyeing Universe
The Monster, in a last ditch effort stabbed the soul of the man, its silver eyes going lifeless as it transferred what little bit of life it had left inside him. Though it had hurt him, the man quickly took control, and stopped the monster from going any further. "Today, it is not you who controls me, but i who controls you." He Laughed as the White soon clouded into a dark purple, magic emanated from his hands as he awoke into reality, new found power at his fingertips. "Oh such beauty i hold at the tips of my fingers... Thank you. Oh thank you." He said, tearing the door of its hinges, seeing the monster on the other side. They jumped for him, but in mid air, time stopped, as he assaulted them with a flurry of unrivaled speed. His hands glowed a Black and white essence as he destroyed these things with in a single heart beat. Standing before the dark tunnel, smiling as his skin glowed with runic symbols. Roaring could be heard from down the hall, many footsteps could be heard of a rushing hoard. "Come, come... Let us all taste the sweet bitter taste of victorious Defeat." He saw the glinting silver eyes of the first creature, readying his stance, he dashed forward, letting out a battle cry as he went for them, Consumed by a Ancestrial Blood Rage.
