Funeral for a Mage (Short filter chapter)

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Ponyville, it was a happy place if youu could get past some of the crazy ponies and always bright and cheerful. Today however was a dark and gloomy day. Rain clouds were everywhere and lots of ponies were at the graveyard, for today was the funeral of a 1,000 year old mage by the name of Ace_Attorneyfan800. The only one who wasn't present was Claus who said he didn't want to go because it reminded him too much of his father's sacrifice to save him. Celestia and Luna understood and let Blueblood watch over him while they went to his funerl in his homeland of Ponyville.

Celestia was stricken with sadness, she hadn't felt this sad since she had to banish Luna to the moon, but yet this one was a personal one. She knew Ace_Attorneyfan800 his whole life. She remembered when he had just become her student and how he learned magic so quickly to the point where he gained his cutie mark of the planet. She knew that in the legend of the eight melodies all decedents of  Ninten, Ness, and lucas had this cutie mark and she thought that he was the chosen one. She let him try and solve the riddle and every four years he got a step closer. However when he became ninety-nine he was slowly dying.

She didn't want to see her old student who rose to the rank of the mage die so she gave him eternal life like an alicorn, however, she didn't count on it turning him back into his filly form. It didn't matter to her, she just didn't want to see him go, and the coincidental thing was, was that he didn't want to go either. Now at the age of 1,005 he was dead. It struck her hard. She gave him eternal life only for it to end with something he didn't even intend to happen. She was quietly wishing she could've saved him, but she knew it would never come true.

Once somepony was dead they were gone, forever, and Celestia couldn't even fathom it. The sisters each said what needed to be said about him. However, Celestia said that if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have become the mare she would be today. In truth she was right. When she was in the dumps he helped her through everything, even when she banished her sister he told her words of wisdom that helped keep her going when she was in doubt, and those words were,"Though we usually feel down about ourselfs after things we didn't intend to happen happen. We have to keep looking twords the future no matter what hapens. Even when things look grim just keep your eyes open for a better tomorrow."

Those words stucked to her like concreat and she never forgot them. The casket was being lowered when Celestia finally let all her tears out, even Luna cried some, but through the whole thing she was strong.

Meanwhile...

Claus felt doubt. He doubted he could save anyone after Ace_Attorneyfan800's death. Blueblood reassured him that even if he did get to him in time, he said there wouldn't have been anything he could've done. Claus knew he wasn't strong, but he could've tried something, even if it meant getting in the way.Claus just sighed sadly as he looked out the window.

"Mourning my death I see?"

Claus turned around to see Ace_Attorneyfan800 as ghost behind him.

"Yup I'm a ghost. But the only reason is that I'm here to tell you this Claus, you need to solve the riddle now."

Claus was shocked.

"Shocked? We I expected that. Claus I know what you're thinking, 'But where do I start?' well I'm going to be merging my soul with your souls."

Claus then got a surprised look.

"Claus. When I merge I will be gone forever, you will gain the knowledge of how to solve the riddle though, because I've already solved it, I just want you to do it, because in my state I just can't do it anymore. You'll also learn the PSI moves I have which are: PK Thunder, PK Freeze, PK Flash, PK Fire, and PK Starstorm. Well II'm ready whenever you are."

Claus looked at the ground for a minute and then looked back at the ghost and nodded.

"Claus....tell Celestia, that I always loved her."

"I will."

And with that Claus closed his eyes as the spirit statrted joining with him and when he opened his eyes he was no longer there.

"Claus....keep smiling." said the voice of Ace_Attorneyfan800

Claus simply smiled and said, "I will."

"Claus, come on we have to go and greet auntie Celestia and Luna!" Blueblood said from the next room

"Coming Blueblood!" Claus said as he went to Blueblood's location

Just as he began to follow Blueblood Claus herd the voice of Ace_Attorneyfan800's voice for what would be the last time, but did what he told him to do, and kept smiling.

"Claus...you're a great kid you know that?"

"Yes Ace_Attorneyfan800, yes I do."
