Chapter 7.

“Chronos and Celestia come to terms.”

Chronos, princess Celestia, Prince Sun Dancer and princess Astra in princess Celestia’s chamber Sun Dancer sat on her bed princess Astra was standing by the door and Chronos was near the back wall.

Chronos then said, “what about that thing whatever it was.”

Prince Sun dancer then said, “That thing is  powerful more powerful then Omega and Abyss he’s the shadow he’s everywhere he’s … He’s planning something big something huge and all of us are involved. He is the one who caused the fall of the Alicorn he twisted Nova’s mind. Nova made the decision to follow him but ultimately he’s been the cause of all the evil that’s happened here in our world he’s fixed on this world and I bet it’s because of twilight. “

Chronos replied, “why her?”

princess Astra said “The elements of harmony, She may be the next pony to use them.”

Chronos then said “all of them?”

princess Celestia shakes her head then said “Only the element of magic. “

Chronos replied, “Then we need to keep all of this quiet from her.”

Princess Celestia then said, “That’s not our decision to make.”

Chronos then said, “You have no idea what it will do too her. Tell her now that if she fails everything ends and everything dies. She is going to end up like me.”

They all look at Chronos.

He then said, “I can’t be here any longer my whole life now is going travel the multiverse and block this shadow from entering this world. Tell me, do you want the same for her? What’s happening to me?”

princess Celestia looked at the ground then said, “That’s not up to her…”

Chronos then said “Yes it does, the world isn’t going to end in a second this darkness needs a link to this world and I’m going to destroy every link that bastard has so Twilight can live a normal life for at least now.”

Prince sun dancer then said “princess celestia you should also know what me and princess Astra were doing. “

Princess Astra then said, “We found a secure door one that led us straight to the world where the shadow originated from. The thing is we can’t stop him from coming but we can continue what we are planning to do before we were caught. We will monitor that world keeping me posted on the darkness and those who follow him

.

prince sun Dancer then said “We can find out his plans and give them to Chronos then he can give this intel to you.”

Chronos then said “Yet having a link can have him come.”

Prince Sun Dancer then said “There will always be a link he will come that’s inevitable what we can do is be prepared and limit his movements before the war begins.”

Chronos nods then said, “Alright then where can I focus my power?”

prince Sun Dancer then said “Omega’s tower in the south. There the power to the other dimensions is strongest.”

Chronos replied, “I’ll leave immediately.”

Princess Celestia replied, “Chronos wait… This isn’t necessary we don’t even know if he will attack again we can wait him out.”

Chronos then said “This isn’t about me, this is about Twilight. She needs to have this life a good filly hood one where she isn’t forced to fight evil. I’m going south because I know that’s where my destiny lies.”

Prince Sun Dancer then said, “Mother, Chronos is right this is bigger than all of us we all have to do our part to keep Equestria safe.”

Princess Celestia then said “Chronos you can’t go south alone. Sun Dancer you’ll escort him there won’t you?”

Prince Sun Dancer nods then said, “Of Course I will.”

Princess Celestia then turned to Chronos and said “You’ll be alone for years. I can’t condone such an endeavor knowing how it will affect you. So this has to be your decision is you going to do this are you ready?”

Chronos replied “princess Celestia, I don’t know if I’m ready but I know what I have to do.”

Princess Celestia then said “Take all the time you need Chronos then when you’re ready I’ll send you with my son to the south with an escort.”

Chronos nods and said “I’ll take this time to visit my family and Shining armor he can’t come with me.”

princess Celestia then said “I know it will be more difficult to dissuade him. He’s very fond of you.”

Chronos then said, “I’ll worry about shining armor you make sure Twilight doesn’t follow my hoof steps.”

He then leaves the room.

Then prince Sun dancer said, “I fear for Chronos he’s too young to understand what he will be losing.”

Princess celestia then said “He knows, I pushed him too far but he is the only one who can destroy the doors that are linked to the darkness we can’t allow the chance for the darkness to come into our world again.”

Chronos was with his parents they were in the kitchen. As they talked,

Chronos then said “Mom dad, you need to know that what I’m doing. I’m leaving Canterlot in fact I’m leaving Equestia.”

His mother shouted “Is this princess celestia forcing you to do this!”

Chronos then said “No this is my decision. You don’t understand there’s more at stake here than just my life. The world is in danger and I need to keep it safe, it will cost me it already has. But I’m willing to do what’s necessary; I need you two to understand.”

Chrono’s father then said, “I think I understand. Golden Sweet we can’t stop our son. Look at him; he’s been through more than both of us have have then our entire lives. He knows what he’s doing.”

Golden Sweet and Silver Dollar went to their son and hugged him then he hugs them back. He then said “Thank you both of you.”

They kissed him and then he got off the chair and trotted to the door.

Then his dad said “So this is goodbye?”

Chronos turned back to his parents then said “For now it is.”

Then his mother said “Goodbye Chronos.”

She hugs him again then his father bows his head then said “Good luck.”

Chronos then let’s go of his mom who was in tears then he turns to the door opens it and as he leaves, he slams the door shut.

  Chronos was with Twilight and Shining armor in their house he was hugging Twilight he then said “You study hard and when we met again you’re going to have to show me all the spells you learned. Okay?”

She nods then said, “I will.”

she backs off then shining Armor said “I can’t let you go alone.”

Chronos sighs then said “Shining, while I’m gone you’re going to be the one who will be in charge of Canterlot’s safety on top of that you have a great life ahead of you. If you go with me that life will be gone forever.”

Shining Armor then said “I don’t care! You’re my best friend.”

Chronos nods then he said “I know I am but you need to understand that as a friend you need to know when you have to let me go. We may be hundreds of miles apart but we will find each other again soon I promise you that.”

Shining armor then said “Just don’t die.”

Chronos then said “I’ll try not to.”

He turns to them and then said “Twilight.”

She looked up then he said “Don’t ever give up. And Shining be on your guard especially on your wedding day.”

Shining armor chucked then said “What’s that supposed to mean.”

Chronos then said “That wasn’t a joke.”

He then trotted through the living room

Shining replied “Chronos  ... what happened in the other dimension I mean…”

Chronos then said “Shining you don’t want the answer to that question. “

He then opens the door and strides outside.

Prince Sun Dancer was now strapped in blue armor with a  new sword at his side he strides out of his room and then he  sees princess Astra in silver armor and a silver spear strapped to her back then princess Celestia came forward and said “I can’t believe you’re going again.”

Prince Sun dancer then said “Mom, were allowing an elven year old colt to go fight in a war were not going to abandon him.”

Princess Celestia then said “I know I’m not here to stop you I just came to say goodbye.”

Prince Sun dancer swore then said, “I’m sorry I was out of line.”

Princess Celestia then said, “No you weren’t we are letting an elven year old colt fight and he may die. So I deserve some thrashing for that.”

Princess Astra then said “He won’t die we’ll be with him going back and forth brining him food and water and we’ll be protecting Equestria at the same time. In fact I believe he will benefit much from the experience.”

Princess Celestia then said, “princess Astra why do you have to be so analytical?”

princess Astra blushed then said “It’s just who I am.”

Prince sun Dancer then said “Trust me mom you have no idea what flying the multiverse with her is like.”

Princess Astra then said “whatever dad you’re the one who got us caught.”

Princess Celestia then said “Alright stop acting like bickering fillies and save the world.”

Prince Sun Dancer hugs his mom and princess Astra hugs princess Celestia as well. Then the three head down the stairs.

Chronos was now at the palace with Prince Sun Dancer and princess Astra,

She then said “Hey Chronos ready to go?”

He has two saddlebags packed and he was more determined than ever before

He then said, “Yeah I’m ready.”

They go into the carriage with the two white pegasi in front then they are lifted in the air then Chronos looks down on Canterlot.

He then sighed, “I wonder if I’ll ever see Canterlot again.”

Prince Sun dancer then said, “You will Chronos don’t ever lose hope.”

Chronos nods then continues to look at the ground wondering.
