Two months later after the attack
"Huh....ugh.... Wh.... Where am I?" Eternum said to himself as he heard the noise of beeping.
As he opened his eyes fully, he realized that he's in the hospital of Canterlot. From his right side, he saw a table with a folder with a written word: "CONFIDENTIAL". He removed the wire connected to his hoof and got out from the bed as he walked slowly to the table and grabbed the folder. He looked at it and opened it and saw a paper regarding about him. A demon, yet a great ally to us. A danger to them, but not responsible for any damage did and a hero to what he saw from the opinion of Princess Celestia. After a brief moment of silence, he closed the folder and sighed. He walked out of the room and made his way through the exit. As he walked briefly, he heard a shout which is calling his name out loud. He turned to his left side and found out its Apple Bloom. She galloped her way to him until they both meet in a loving embrace.
"Apple Bloom, I'm happy that you're still alive" He said as he tightened the hug further.
"Also for ya, pardner." She replied as a tears appeared from her eyes.
"Apple Bloom..."
"Yeah?"
"I'm s-" He was cut-off by her as she placed her hoof at his lips.
"Shhhh. It's alright, Eter. Ah know it already and Ah don't care if yer part of them cause the Eternum that Ah know is loving and caring for me."
"Apple Bloom, I thank you." Eternum said as he kissed her forehead.
"Yer welcome. Ah will always love ya. Always." She replied as she kissed him back this time at the lips.
"By the way, Eter."
"Yes?"
"Who was that no good pony or whatever you called it?" She asked.
"My cousin. His name is Phan Tom. A demon like me." Eternum said as he slightly stroke her mane
"But yer a different one, pardner. Ya should know that."
"Yeah. Anyways, have any plans for today?" He questioned.
"Nah. Ah was supposed to join with the girls in finding our cutie marks as cutie mark crusader miners, but Ah decided to let them go on without me cause Ah need to see ya."
"I see. Well then, what do-"
"Wait a second. What's that at yer flank?" She said as she pointed her hoof to it.
Eternum looked at his flanked and was shocked to see that he has a cutie mark. The mark is a spiraled black thorn with an orb in the middle. He was very curious to know how he got it. He asked her,
"Well, I never thought I would have one. Do you have any idea this mark means?" He asked.
"It means, ya changed to something new, something for the better of yer life. Yer very unique in that way, Eternum. Congratulations." She said.
"Thanks, Apple Bloom. So what do you want to do today?"
"Anything, pardner. Whatever ya decide, Ah'm okay." She replied with a smile.
"How about we do some ice skating?" He asked.
"Really? Ya know how to do skating?" She questioned
"Yeah. Back at my old school, when there was a frozen area, I did some skating. I even tried ice gliding." He chuckled.
"Sure! Sounds fun!" She said happily.
"Alright then, let's go back to the plain area. I will cast a spell to turn it into ice."
Eternum casted an orb that turned into a portal to the grassy area. The two walked through it as the portal closed behind them. Though victory comes at a cost, Eternum wondered of what happened to his cousin. He may hated him back already after what stopping the invasion. He may think that Phan Tom may never forgive him, but Eternum still hoped that someday, his cousin will see that there's more than just a vision. Eternum now enjoyed his life with her as a new ending comes to a new beginning.
Now I'm holding on to something anew
THE END
