Ones lament of their greatest regret in life

This is somewhat of a side story of what happened between the sisters and their lover in "Jealous Creation".

I give my thanks to SlickDash whom I had challenged to see who could do a better job at a sad story. Here's a link to the greatness I dared compete with: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/21172/Born-of-chaos-and-heartbreak

Too bad I'm more Tragic than I am Sad. But I tried, so I deserve a little credit.

Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

To say that their love for me was going to last forever was my greatest mistake. I knew what was going to happen. I knew ever since I started this little game. And saying that I regret playing that game is nothing short of a lie. I enjoyed it, and something tells me that even those two girls who I held at each other's throats were somewhat fond of the game we played.

The rules were simple at first. Love me, hate the other, and continue love me for all eternity even after you destroy your sibling in the name of love. It was that simple. And somehow, I was still the one who had messed it all up. It was my arrogance... No rather, it was my ignorance that led me to the position I am in now. And for me to say I did not deserve what it was that happened to me would be pointless because it was all my plot from the get go.

I knew I loved those beautiful girls when I had met them and I knew that I wanted them both. But something inside me continued to nag me and tell me that I needed to rid myself of what would later become my greatest enemies. Oh yes, it was only a matter of time before I realized that they both loved me and were quite jealous of each other because of that knowledge. So as I stated before I had played them against one another. Rather than taking them out myself and dirtying my paws, I allowed them to play this wonderfully twisted game I had came up with. And the greater being who ruled before us would be able to tell you that I truly did know what was going to happen if I continued with this charade. But again, my ignorance got the best of me. Or to be even more specific than I was before, I feigned ignorance. It was a silly dream.

A silly dream that had led to my eternal demise. I knew that they were going to betray me, and I knew that stood no chance against them, but I continued to hope and dream that they would stop fighting and one day come to realize that they can share me and still get the same attention the other would. But no, they continued to grow envious through each day, and with that in mind, they would forever share their hatred with each other. And I was quite jealous of the attention they gave each other rather than giving me. I wanted to be the center of attention, but in their eyes, their older/younger sibling was where the center of their attention lye at. And so I have grown more and more jealous and they soon found out what was happening to me.

They weren't happy of their little discovery and they left. Left me. Alone. No being else in my domain could have quelled the amount of sorrow I felt in my heart. And they knew the mark they left on me. They knew because they decided that they were not going to come back to me for some time.

I think that was a rather cruel punishment. But I still deserved it for all I have done to them. And I know that I do. Yet, I still continued to shed many a tear for them to hopefully one day return. And with that hope I had awaited their return. Day by day. Soon days had turned to weeks, weeks into months, months into years... Years into decades... Decades into centuries... And finally, after a millennium of long and sorrowful waiting, I had grown tired. After what was literally an eternity, I had quite literally grown tired and sought them out.

That was my first mistake. Leaving the land that had made me powerful. I still had enough power to take on the world, but my land gave me the power to control time and space itself.

My second mistake was actually finding them. I thought it to be a hopeless search but after a few hours of leaving, I had actually found them. And they were not happy. They had scowls across each of their faces and wounded me to see them so angry. So I said my piece and I had left back home.

...Too bad home wasn't home when I got back.

It turns out that while I was indeed powerful, meaning I could move at break neck speeds, they beat me to it. To my own throne room. To the one place that had given me exactly everything I could ever want. Which the worst part about it, I was still hours away from my home before seeing the change for myself. But I felt a blast that must have went around the entire world, and I did not like what I felt when the shock-wave hit me.

It was a mixture of peace and... order. The one thing that I could not stand for the life of me. But there it was in my own homeland, before my eyes as I watched what it had become from afar. I knew they were going to get stronger in their long absence but to allow them the power to change the entire world... I felt proud about that.

But that feeling had long faded before I could genuinely express it. Rushing to my throne, I saw that it was only of the sisters that sat in the throne. Only ONE! If she held that much power and did the damage she did... I would hate to see what they were both capable of.

And with that in mind, I managed to curse myself, as they had both put me in their magical hold. I was strong enough to take on one of them, but to fight them both was suicide, so I allowed them to do with me as they had wished, though I honestly had no choice in the matter.

I could see some new toys around them and I could feel the power of complete order... complete harmony emanating from each of them. I hated the feeling I was getting, and they knew that I was getting weaker in the presence of everlasting harmony. They let me lose and I tried to run, but it was far too late as they had once again held me in place. Or I thought it was they. It turns out that the older had to focus all her power into those little gold objects, so it was only the younger that held me.

Remember when I said that I could take on one of them no problem? Turns out I was wrong. The younger was holding me, and I held no chances of escape.

Knowing full well what was likely to happen next, I smiled at them. The blast hit me, and I was still smiling, I posed in a way to look dramatic as I told them my final words.

"I will love you. Always and forever" and I was still slowly turning to stone, and it was only until my head was what was left before my prison was completed that I heard the words that would run through my mind for the next eternity, and the one after.

"No you won't"

It hurt, but it soon I realized that she was right. I couldn't love them forever. My love for them had long left me and I soon felt nothing for them. Not even hate. They didn't deserve it, and I couldn't hate them no matter how hard I tried to. And I tried really hard.

But I digress, when I was released for that one day, I had regret turning the world into a big ball of chaos. I should have did something that I now regret not doing upon my return.

I should have told them both sorry. And I would have, but even my love for them was not present at the time. I felt the love for only a fraction of a second for the older sibling as I saw her face for the first time in a long time, but only for a few nano-seconds. After that it was nothing for her.

I had a new age to mess with, and I wasted no time in doing so. But even my reign for that one day proved that their harmony will one day be tampered with and destroyed. It was only a day, but that day proved that even though my rule could not last forever, neither could their peace and order.

The saying must be true then.

Nothing lasts forever.
