"Ah~" Moaned a quiet, familiar voice snuggled in beside me. I felt a soft nuzzle just under my chin content with her position in my bed. I don't know who it is because I didn't bother to open my eyes, but I can guess from the kimono fabric that it was Lily. I'm not sure why she was in my bed, but I'll thank her later for taking my armor off. I needed the much-needed sleep.

I got myself into a better position for snuggling and tried to go back to sleep with my secret crush. She won't admit it, but I know how she feels. This will be the last day with her anyway, I have to make it last even if neither of us would want it to end. I want to leave with a smile on my face and have all my questions answered.

"Huh?" yawned Lily as she woke up in confusion as to where she was. I didn't let her escape and yanked her back into my arms. "Eek!" she squeaks from the motion.

"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-Winter!" she stuttered trying to break free. Her blush was very noticeable, even if I couldn't see it.

"When did you get here?" she asked.

"Why are you in my room?" I asked back.

"Well I," she stopped to think for a second only to stop her tail from excessively flapping like a hummingbird. "I was... sleep walking!" she defended herself.

"Why didn't you wake me up."

"Hm, you weren't in here. Oh, I got back last night."

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I," she continued to stutter.

"Just be quiet," I smiled pressing the tip of my wing to her trembling lips and brought her back into my arms.

"I missed you," I said warmly once she settled back down. The tension in the room calmed along with Lily once the words left my mouth. I didn't realize what I just said till it was too late, but the fact that I did. Just hurt me more than it should.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked with a concerned tone. Much more than usual. I might as well tell her anyway. During my dream, I beat Gluttony as fast as I did Greed. It's only a matter of time and I have a lot of work to do.

During my fight with Gluttony, I've had a revelation on how to send everyone back home. I can send them back through the hall of dreams with relative ease. With the help of blaze and my eye of silver. None of them will even remember that they were ever sent here to Equestria. Then there are the demons. Using my soul magic, I can rewrite their entire soul and give them a second chance at life. They will start anew in every way. New memories that won't return, a new outlook at everything around them, and a new way of thinking. Fuck Hades, I'm the true ruler of all that is evil, even the now deceased Malice, which I learned from Gluttony that he was accidentally killed when I nuked the mountain. Apparently he was halfway through the summoning but when I broke the circle, the process was finished prematurely. The anti-matter bomb killed him without a problem. A happy oops on my part. Now I don't have to worry about him.

The only other thing that was of notice during my verbal duel with Gluttony was that I have a knighting to go to, and that was today. I'm not sure why he reminded me. Maybe it was to reactivate Tia's memories of what I did to her a thousand years ago? I might as well. I won't be around long enough to see her freak out about it. But on that note of memories. I need to finish my journal.

Once Lily fell back to sleep, I slumped my way to my desk and pulled my journal and an inkwell and filled it with magic infused blood. My blood, and began to write down my memories into the book in a language that only I can understand.

Later, in Canterlot.

Walking down the luminous hall of the chosen, a special hall that only the knight's of Equestria that are remembered in both stone and glass displays. All of which are dead and I will be the first to restart the line of hero's.

Celestia walked with me in silence at a slow pace remembering all those she made worthy of having a princess all to themselves. "Lucky bastards." It didn't take long for where she was leading me. At the far end of the hall was a statue of a griffin in wolf armor. My wolf armor. It didn't take me long to figure out it was me noble and white with granite.

I admired it for a moment before Tia broke the silence.

"Congratulations Sir Winter. You are officially a knight. How does it feel?"

"Not what I was expecting, but I understand the circumstances. Having a griffin knight of Equestria made public would cause some political problems within the country. Now all I have left to do is send some people back home then I can die in peace."

"Excuse me?" Celestia gasped. "What do you mean by die in peace?"

I smiled weakly for a moment turning away from her while activating a spell to send another bunch of people home through the hall of dreams with their memories erased. A task that I started before I came to Equestria. It was difficult at first with the distance but after going into a comfortable rhythm. I should take me a few more time's to complete the task.

Some don't like the fact that they are being sent home while others downright hate it. I gave those people some time to choose whether or not they truly want to stay, but if they do. Then they will be the task with protecting my island and to create a civilization worthy of creating.

"Well, if all goes according to plan. That won't be a problem. So don't worry about it too much," I assured her, but the gesture wasn't well met.

"What will happen with all your followers? I heard that many took refuge on that inhospitable ice rock you live on. I'm still unsure why you wanted that island in the first place."

"They are being sent home. Well, most of them. The rest will have to deal with everything that I won't be able to take care of. And about the ice thing. I terraformed the entire island to that similar to my birth place. Sure the winter is much colder and unpredictable than the one's here in Equestria, but that's the way we like it."

"You... terraformed an entire island," she frowned. "What does that mean?"

I resist the urge to facepalm from that comment. "You are a master of magic and you don't know what terraformed means," I sighed. "Basically, It is to change and entire ecosystem from one state to another. So from an icy wasteland to a forest wonderland."

She took a big gasp and an irritable glare at me connecting the dots of what I did. She probably must think that I cheated her a huge landmass for cheap and turned it into something beautiful. She is right on those thoughts, but that just makes it all the sweeter to have. She can have her castle. I have a fucking island half the size of Equestria to myself.

"Anything else princess sun butt before I rain on your parade?" I smirked.

"How did you do it?" she asked.

"Oh, it was simple. All's I did was charge a gem with enough magic to power a city for a week, place it within a pentagram structured in a quadratic hexadecimal pattern, place all the necessary activation runes in a specific sequence and make it the size of the entire island making sure it doesn't get interrupted during the activation. Ya know. Simple magic stuff," I smiled innocently while watching smoke come out of Tia's ears.

"R-right. Forget I asked."

"Too late," I chuckled snapping my fingers to reactivate Tia memories of the past and to teleport home to escape the awkwardness.

Author's Note

Yes, this is starting to come to a close. Mostly because I see the ending and have it all played out the way I wanted it. That, and I'm going to British Columbia very soon and I want to get as much done before I go. Will there be a sequel? Probably. Will it be more realistic? Most likely. What will happen? Timey wimey space stuff involving dimension traveling and or a different crossover. "BECAUSE I CAN!" Anywho. All will be resolved in due time. Hopefully.
