//------------------------------// // The 'Dying' Sun // Story: The Forbidden Love // by Madman Stories CO //------------------------------// I woke up as I always have I got ready for my day and then I heard a knock at the door. "Oh that must be Okzinous." I said in a cheerful tone but when I opened the door it was just Death. "Hello Solar." He said in a somewhat depressed tone. I replied "Hello Death, what do you want and where is Okzinous?" "Yeah about Okzinous..." He began to say sadly. "What happened to him is he alright?" I said to him He gulped and said "Satan found out." "What! How! Is Okzinous okay?" I said very in a very worried tone. "No, Satan gave him a slow and painful death." He said looking like he was to cry "Will you be okay Solar?" "Yeah I think I just need some time alone to process this." I said crying a river of sadness as I felt my heart break into a million pieces. "Okay if you need anything you know how to reach me." He said in the most sincere tone a being of death could muster. "Thank You Death, just Thank You." I said as he left. (1 month later) Since Okzinous' died I fell into a deep depression. I awoke to the sound of a knock at my door. I ask "Who's there?" "It's me Death, may I come in?" He asked I told him "sure what do you want?" "I know your depressed I miss Okzinous to he was the nicest friend I've ever had the honor of having." He said "And." I asked "Thier are ponies who care about you and can't stand to see you like this also there is still one this you have to remember him through." He told me "And that would be?" I inquired "That." He said pointing at my belly. "That child will need you to guide him/her in life so he/she doesn't become what Satan thinks he/she will. Now let's you I and your friends have a party to help get you out of this funk." He said enthusiastically "Very well." I said solemnly The party was the most fun I've had in ages. The food tasted like a dream everything was so sweet. The funniest thing about the party was that Death of all beings came up with it. From then on I was much much happier. After the party I thanked Death very much for this. Things were looking up. (9 months later) It started out like any other day I woke up and went out to lunch with my friends then suddenly I felt a surge go through my body it was like nothing I'd ever felt before it only lasted 6 seconds though. My friend asked me "What's wrong Solar are you ok?" "Yeah just a twitch I'm sure it's nothing." I replied So we finished lunch and hung out the rest of the day and ever hour that same surge would just happen again ever hour so I went to the doctor about it and He said "you're in labor." I responded like anypony would with a simple "WHAT!!!!" "Relax we have all the equipment necessary to do this." He replied calmly So they hooked me up to everything and I start to push. (Many excruciatingly painful hours later) "Congratulations it's a very healthy baby colt," the doctor said happily "Let me see him" I asked "Very well," he replied happily as he handed him to me He was small with a grey coat and black mane. His eyes were a saturated green with slit pupils and on his back two little bat wing his ears were curved and pointed at the top they were like his little demon horns. "Have you picked a name?" Asked the doctor "Death Shadow will be his name and yes I'm positive." I told him "Okay his name will be Death Shadow?" He said Then one of the nurses said in a alarmed tone "her vitals are dropping!" "What!!! Oh no." He said in a sad voice "WHAT is it!" I shouted "Miss. Nova I am sorry to say but... Your dying." He say with a face covered in tears "How long do I have" I said sobbing with Death Shadow in my arms "An hour." He said "Then I'll spend it with my son" I said "Okay." He and the nurses said leaving the room "So Death I guess that gives me an hour to tell you about what you need to know." I said trying to be happy "you aren't like regular ponies your half Demon so when I'm gone you have to be good. I hope you turn out like your father he was a great pony he was the kindest demon that ever lived." I was bawling like a baby but before I knew it the hour was almost up and I felt so weak the last thing I said to my child before I died was "Death Shadow I love you."
