Day after Gabriel's attack and Jacob's possession, in Crystal Empire was burial of Shining Armor and soldiers, who protected the Empire. Jacob felt little guilty about Shining's dead, just like Twilight. On burial appeared Twilight's parents and Shining's old companions from Canterlot.

Shining Armor himself was in the coffin, wearing the same uniform, what he was wearing, when he married Cadence. He was also carrying a bouquet of lilies. Jacob walked with Twilight and her family to see him.

"He looks so calm." Cadence sighed. "Like he was only sleeping."

Jacob carried a Shining's sword. He took the bouquet and placed the sword on it's place.

"In my world, there's a tradition, what says, that great warriors should be buried with their weapon." Jacob said with serious tone. "May it serve you well on the other side, dear friend."

"It's sad, that we had do meet in such bad occasion." Night Light, father of Twilight, said.

"It's sad, that I have your son's blood on hands." Jacob said with guiltiness. "I'm very sorry, sir."

"You did nothing wrong." Twilight's mom said. "Twily said, that you were attacked by the demon. It's not your fault."

"I still feel guilty. And borred of that line." Jacob said, then left the castle.

Jacob was on the border of the city. He was just sitting and looking at the snow desert. It was pretty late, about 11 pm. He still had in mind that line. 'It's not your fault.' When Jacob was fighting with Ven'galion, he heard that line almost everyday. He had on his conscience many lives. He regrets taking everyone of them. Even, if it was evil life.

That's the reason, why Gaya chosed Jacob as her Champion. Jacob loved life, no mather what it was, he loved it. Normally, he wouldn't hurt a fly, but universe had different plans about him. He's known in his world as fearless warrior, able to kill everyone without a blink of the eye. But truth was different. Jacob was scared, when he was fighting with anyone. But war has only one rule: kill or die. That rule burned out on Jacob's mind, making him crazy. Three words were making him that, what he was now.

But yesterday, Jacob was freed from that. His powers dissapeared. He wasn't mage anymore, or even god. He was just normal human being. Life gave him second chanse to live on his own rules. But there was still one catch, Gabriel, God of Death and Darkness. Jacob didn't believe, that he left him alone. Gods always had, have and will have plans about their and their rivals champions. But Jacob didn't care about that, his past or madness. He was just sitting, with mind without
any thoughts. He just wanted to be alone for some time.

Then, next to Jacob, sat smoke unicorn with black mane.

"You want to be alone, too?" Jacob asked.

"Kinda." Sombra replied. His voice wasn't dark anymore. It was rather intelligent. "I wanted to thank you about saving me from dark magic."

"And I thank you from that magic beam. It snapped me out of this madness."

Unicorn and the human were sitting for a while in silence.

"Do you have any plans about yourself?" Jacob asked.

"I'm going to travel around Equestria. I want to repear, what I did 1000 years ago. What about you?"

"I'll return to Ponyville, I'll be helping Rarity in her boutique and I'll sometimes be visiting Twilight and Princess Celestia. In short, I want normal life. It's the only thing, that I always wanted. Now, without any powers, I have chance for that."

"Good luck, then."

"Same to you, Sombra."

Next day, at morning...

Jacob was woken up in his chamber by the sunlight. At night, he came here to his room in crystal castle. He was too tired to be at the wake. When he turned on the other side, he saw the devil.

"Missed me?" 'Devil' said.

"G-G-GAYA?" Jacob asked terrified.

Next to Jacob was tall woman with white hair in white robe with golden gauntlets and necklace. It was Gaya, Godness of Life and LIght.

"If you're here to give me back my powers, then fuck you." Jacob said angry.

"Don't worry, my child, I'm not here to do this." She said with melodic and soft voice. "I know, that my powers gave you more pain, than earlier." She stood up, while saying that. Jacob did the same thing. "I gave you my powers, because I thought, that will bring the opposite result."

"Well, then, why are you here?"

"I want to give you three last tasks, My Champion. First, protect this world from Gabriel, if this is necessity. Second, have a normal life. Third, give that rose that girl, who you'll fall in love with." Gaya created beautiful, white rose and gave it to Jacob.

"You want to be my matchmaker?" Jacob asked indignant. "Sorry, captain, this ship won't leave the coach."

"I'm not your matchmaker. I'll just give you some advices. Besides..." Gaya turned into really familiar alicorn. "Maybe you'll choose someone by yourself." Celestia made a jester smile. "Gotcha."

"Tia, you fucking troll." Jacob said, trying to not laugh. "You really got me."

Celestia laughed like little baby. "I can't *gasp* believe *snorts* you bought this. *loud laughter*"

Jacob decided to make a little revenge.

"Did you were suguesting something by that third task?" He said roguishly.

Celestia had a wingboner and blush on face.

"You know, it's pretty early, so..."

"THIS FANFIC DOESN'T HAVE 'SEX' TAG!" Celestia broke the 4th wall. THAT'S MY JOB

"I wanted just cudling, but, I can ask pretty nice Mr. author to use a 'sex' tag..." AGAIN? Pinkie, fuck of from the keyboard. Celestia's blush grown even bigger.

"STOP TALKING!" Celestia screamed.

Jacob smiled rougishly. "Ow, you're not the patient pony, aren't you?" He said, getting closer to Celestia, touching her cheek.

"What is going on here?" Twilight asked, looking at Celestia and Jacob, standing in the door.

Now Jacob and Celestia were blushed.

"Eh, nevermind." She said, looking an the text higher. Twilight, I have quesadilla with your name on it. What did I told about my keyboard, Pinkie? Uh, fuck it, end of the chapter.
