Chapters The line between hope and time.
Chapter 1: A breach in the heart
I loved her, I love her and will forever
What is time? What is life? What is love?
Why not stopping everything, on a simple thought, I could just destroy everything, all my desires will be gone and the ones of everypony else. Just easy, let the world collapse in pain when time is no more. I was going to do it, then I saw her...
In Ponyville, a little borned mare, seconds ago, she opened her eyes. I saw them diving deep in my soul giving my spirit love and hope. I was struck by the power caused by the pegasus, nopony else could saw me but it's like if she was looking at me. Her pale purple body and deep pale blue eyes were beautiful. Her blond mane was long and shining like diamond in the middle of a summer day. I swore on Equestria's sake that I would be her guardian. How can a simple weak thing can make fall a titan.
One day, she will break me, one way, or another...
I was not sure of what I was getting myself into because of the simple fact that I could not predict it. But this little innocent spirit was delving deep into my heart and I never felt that before. I wasn't sure if it was love or if I was scared. I was afraid of her, her power, how can a pegasus have that much energy, ready to explode.

Chapter 2: Crossing heart
We all have a choice but sometimes, fate take decisions
I watched her growing up. Every seconds of her life is known by my memory. She have the best learning skills I've see for centuries, she learned to walk in a single day and to speak perfectly in a week. She had the best grades in school and was friend with everypony. She is sociable, intelligent, funny and trustable. She is the kind of pony you like so much it makes you sorry. She recently had her cutiemark, it's actually a mouse, a computer mouse. She learnt in five minutes how the computer worked. Even I, was impressed.
Later, after eighteen years of waiting, I made a move. I appeared at the edge of ponyville, far from all the eyes to see, as a unicorn, pale blue like my original colors and my long pale blond mane. The last time I materialised myself was about a thousand years ago. I walked on the ground once again, I stood up like I was walking yesterday. I felt a little bit rusty but dematerialisation does not affect the shape of your body, even if I am immortal and can't getting older. I don't even remember my birth date. I remeber that my unicorn form was called Eclipse, Eclipse Nightime. I had the shape of a young pony of 18 years old, like Emma.
I started to walk toward the city. As the sun rose from the east, I remembered this old Celestia that was once my friend. We stop seeing each other because times were getting rought in Equestria. The city was welcoming with the smell of the morning bread, even if the town was still asleep, the bakers already started their business. I went at Emma's house and knocked at the door. I knew every brick that compose this city, every citizen, every moments of it's history. I remembered everything that this city lived during half a second. Suddenly, Emma opened the door, rubbing her eyes with her hoof. Then she looked at me and stopped. She stared at me like if I was somepony she didn't saw for a long time, like if she knew me. She was plunging in my eyes like the first time I saw her. We stared at each others during a good minute before she made the first move.
Even the smallest of things can change the way of time
The line between hope and time.
A single sentence can change a vision, but a single word can change a life
She wanted to know everything, every details of what I knew about Celestia. Obviously, I couldn't tell everything because she would have felt that something was wrong. I lied a little bit about a false past. I told her the "magnificence" of the Princess and her little sister. I invented that I was in space research in Canterlot, I needed something to fit my name and cutiemark. I hate astronomy, space is nothing more than another problem. When I finished my big fake story, she went to bed because she was "tired". I can't tell how is it because I never sleep.
While she was asleep, I teleported to Canterlot. In front of the throne of "Miss Celestia" she immediately recognized me. Before she spoke, she asked all of the guards to leave the room
I went back to Emma's house, she didn't move. I materialised a fake wedding invitation involving me and a "friend" in the post office. When the morning came, I could hear the rooster waking up everypony. Emma woke up, I was "strangely" making her favourite breakfast: Hayggs (Hay and eggs). We heard knocking at the door. Emma went to the door and saw Derpy Hooves handling her a letter.
The worst pain is to ear somepony else cry

Chapter 4: A secret in the heart
Don't hold your tears because none of them cause pain
Emma couldn't stop to move in the train to Canterlot she was so excited about the wedding that I could feel her energy from my place. The train passed through the shield and the Great city revealed itself. Emma's eyes were sparkling. She never went to Canterlot before. This moment was a dream coming true.
Love is the best of weapon and hate is the worst excuse
She slowly turn her head towards me. Her eyes were filled with tears but none of them were falling. She was smiling.

Chapter 5: Revealing heart
To love is to be united with someone forever
What was I thinking? I am going to marry Emma. But now I must concentrate on the instant moment, this Canterlot Wedding. I knew something was going to happen, even if Alicorns are involved and I can't see the future, something bad was incoming. Emma and I sat at our place in the church. All along during the wedding, she talked.
Two changelings were holding her against a wall and a third one was approaching her, mouth open.
My wings grew out immediately as my body came back to his Alicorn size, that means two time the size of a little pony. My eyes opened revealing my vertical pupil. My cutie mark came back to the original infinity symbol that it was. I did not took the time to think about the consequences and cast the forbidden spell. Everything around me stopped moving. The ponies were immobile with their facial expression filled with fear. The blood was floating around and Emma was frozen while bleeding. I started to walk slowly towards the aggressor, I took his head out of Emma's neck and I broke his. I pulled easily Emma out of the Changelings grip and put her on my back, I walked into a house and dropped Emma on a couch. I closed the windows and the door, I locked it, then I fainted.
When I woke up, Emma was sleeping on my chest, my first reflex was to look at her neck, the wound was deep but not mortal. I stood up and opened slowly the door. The vision was horrible. There were no living changelings, only dead ponies lying on the ground. I looked around and all what I saw was Dust and smoke from houses. I used my magic to line up the bodies and cover them with a materialized towel. I stacked up the dead changelings and burnt them. Emma, awoken, came by my side.

Chapter 6: Friendly heart
Friendship is the best gift somepony can give you
Emma opened the door, she knew who it was. Her best friends RainFall and Bitrunner were there. RainFall was a beautiful pink pegasus mare with pale blue hairs and purple eyes her cutie mark was a raining cloud. Bitrunner, for his part was a pegasus stallion known for always smiling, a dark red coat andd black hairs. His cutie mark is a happy face. I find it quite original in it's simpleness.
The canterlot's jail-vault is empty, there are not many dangerous criminals in canterlot. But my rival got his place there.
The right choice is not always the best

Death is only a way that we all have to take, but me

Emma
Aeon
I had no choice but to give her more power, my power, her Alicorn spirit with my Alicorn... "essence" will mix together, creating an overpower that, at the moment that I will do this, will bring physical changes to her body and, release Paradoxus. I had no choice but to respect my duty to free the power without letting be in pain any more second. I touched her forehead with my horn. Everything happened so fast. First I felt on the ground for losing half of my power, than, her body enlightened during around ten seconds. Then the light went away, revealing her Alicorn body. She opened her eyes, the pain was gone. I was still on the ground.
"EMMA! RUN!" I shouted as hard as I could so she could understand fast.

Time is nothing more than a pain that keeps me alive

The smell of the body of a dead enemy is always good

When colors came back, I froze, I knew this place. Celestia was standing in front of us. We were on the mountain of judgement.
