War of the Creators

by Paradox Theory


Chapter 5: The Fall of Paradox

Paraox's POV

Hello. I see that you guys finally made it full circle. Yes, I know you are there.

I am a creator after all.

Our swords crashed. over and over again. Each time I sprinted forward, Prometheus blocked it.

"How does it feel Paradox?" Prometheus asked.

"How does what feel?" I responded, right before swinging at his shoulder.

"How does it feel to know your time is coming to a close?" Prometheus chuckled.

I smiled, "Fulfilling," I said, circling around Prometheus, "I feel like everything that I've done now relies on this battle."

"Then you are a fool, for the creators have prophesized your fall. I tried to avoid this, but you were too stubborn." Prometheus explained.

"Liar!" I roared, jumping into the air, and throwing a barrage of force magic at him. Landing behind him, I thrust my sword through his back.

Prometheus chuckled, "It is done."

Suddenly, Twilight barged in, "Paradox! Don't-" Then she gasped.

Prometheus laughed louder, "The treeeeee!"

And we were suddenly in front of the Tree. Which promptly shattered.

"No!" Twilight yelled, falling to the ground. "No." Her coat turned grey, her cutie mark faded, and her mumbles turned into whinnies and snorts.

She was a normal pony, her wings and horn vanished.

"NO!" I screamed, turning to the hole the tree left.

Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the hole, and for the first time in 20,000 years, A living being set foot into the End.


The End was dark and quiet.

There was no life here, only two figures. One taller than the other.

"Death," I whispered, "We meet at last."

Death chuckled, "It seems history repeats itself," He pointed at the smaller figure, "You kill her, and she becomes like me, immortal."

I grit my teeth, "You think I was clueless?"

Death said nothing.

"I knew that Life had fell," I explained, "But what I didn't know was how."

Death chuckled, "Clueless, just like Life. Just like your people, and the beings of the multiverse."

"You know?" I whispered.

"Indeed," Death answered while nodding, "But perhaps, she should tell you instead."

At that moment, Jane removed her hood, "Brother." She spit.

I stood there, expressionless as ever.

"It seems that you knew who she was," Death said with interest, "Jane, kill him."

Jane sprinted forward, but I didn't even think when my sword flew up words, into her chest.

Coughing and gasping, Jane fell to the ground. As she fell, I heard five more pieces of crystal shatter.

I felt my powers lessen, I felt my body age. I had fallen.

"Now you see how pointless this was, you will die here," Death chuckled, "And your powers will be mine."

I looked to the ground, right as Jane looked up, "Where am I?" She whispered.

Falling to my knees, I picked her up, "In The End," I told her, "I-I stabbed you."

She looked at me, "I remember," She whispered.

Tears streaking down my face, I began to cry, "I'm sorry, but there was nothing else I could do!"

Then I heard the words that would change my perspective.

"And all because no one knew the last element!" Death cheered.

My mind began to turn, and my powers returned.

In an instant, I traveled the galaxy, aged another 2000 years, took the girls to the library of the ancients, saw numerous futures, and returned to the End.

As I came back to the present, I heard Jane whisper, "I forgive you."

Standing to my feet, I began to laugh, "And I forgive you Prometheus, I forgive you Twilight, and Death?"

Death growled, "You think that will be enough? Forgiving others?'

I shook my head, and heard the song begin.

Wake up, my warrior.

Death could hear it as well, "What? What is this?"

"So," I said at last, "This was your plan, to bring me here to kill my sister and free you?"

Death said nothing.

"But, I know how to end this," I continued, "I will tell you a story."

Death growled.

"The story of life."
