After all of them returned safely to the world where Sunset and her friends live, Invictus, Caldor and the Pillars rushed back to the others with full speed whilst making sure they weren't seen by the world’s populace. They eventually found their path and headed straight for Singe’s place. ‘We’re almost there,’ said Caldor when he led them back ‘Just a little more.’
At the same time, the Mane 7 and the others were waiting for them just outside of Singe’s hut, hoping that they would get there in time. Pinkie saw something up ahead. When she got a good look, she got excited and yelled ‘They’re here, they made it!!’

Both Invictus and Caldor burst into the room, where Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Shining Armour were trying to help Singe to make sure that Flurry Heart would be stable. ‘Do you have the heart?’ said Singe when she walked towards Invictus, which made him give it to her, allowing her to accept it as she walked over to her cauldron to perform her spell.
The ponies and their counterparts walked in and looked as Singe tried to do her work. She placed the heart inside the cauldron, allowing it to disperse from within the potion, allowing it to bubble as it turned purple. She picked up part of the cauldron and began to use her enchantment to help her. She placed her hands near the cauldron, causing the purple concoction to turn into a purple mist, allowing her to carry the mist from within her hands and then dispersed them over Flurry Heart. Whilst the magic did its work, Singe watched the little Alicorn, so young and also so frail.
‘Such a wee thing.’ said Singe when she looked at Flurry Heart, causing Shining Armour and Cadance to notice the look in her eye, the look of what any mother would have.

‘You really did have a son, didn’t you?’ said Cadance when she wondered what Singe was thinking of.

‘I did.’ she replied when she told them the story ‘When I married Galahad we gave birth to my son. You see, he was such a wee thing, I wanted to do everything in my power to protect him, so I gave him the power to be immune to pain, even death. But I realized his resentment too late by the time he was old enough to make his own decisions.’

‘Wait,’ said Shining Armour when he realized something ‘So you tried to help your son to be immune to pain, like an Alicorn or something?’

‘They would be immune to things like the Alicorns, but you wouldn’t be able to feel anything else.’ said Singe when she told them ‘I married Galahad to save my people, but when the humans came to be, I…ended up making the worst mistakes I’ve ever created. So he banished me forward in time to a place where our kind were no more. After that, I chose to teach and became a principle. I left my old life behind me. But when I recognized the magic Twilight had in her, I would’ve done anything to restore what I lost to go home again.’

‘I see.’ said Cadance when she realized any mistake a mother would make ‘But why not use the old magic to go back.’

‘I cannot, the spell my husband placed on me ensures that I could never go back, no matter how hard I tried.’ said Singe when she later held onto Cadance’s hoof ‘Please don’t make the same mistakes I did. Let your daughter make her own choices, let her be better.’

The mist that was dispersed over Flurry Heart disappeared, and instantly, she was healed. Slowly, Flurry Heart woke up and yawned as if she had a nap. She saw her parents and giggled, causing her to jump into her mother’s hooves as the lot of them were happy that she was alright. ‘Thank you.’ said Shining Armour when he was thankful that Flurry Heart was alright.

‘You are welcome.’ said Singe when she was glad that she was healed.

After they left, some waved to her goodbye, with the EG Mane 7 feeling guilty about how they treated her, but they also knew that what she did to Twilight was wrong, so it was right in between.

‘Alright then,’ said Caldor when he looked at the others ‘Shall we continue on our journey before anything else happens?’

‘Hold it,’ said Twilight as she gained their attention ‘First of all, why do you have those swords and axe, we left it back at Canterlot Castle.’

‘Yeah,’ said Rainbow Dash when she also wanted answers ‘And why were you fighting those creatures earlier, what do they have to do with any of this?’

‘And furthermore,’ said Twilight when she stomped her hoof on the ground ‘We want the truth, and we want the truth, right now.’

‘The truth.’ said Invictus when he realized that Twilight of all ponies would never let this go ‘The truth.’. He was silent for a few moments, not wanting to say a word. But in a way, Caldor was right. There was no point in hiding for what he was.

‘Brother, please.’ said Caldor whilst he placed his hand on Invictus’ right shoulder.

Having no choice, he had to tell them. He only let out a soft sigh, partially looked at them and told them ‘I am a god. From another realm entirely.’. They were shocked by what he revealed, not knowing on how to respond. ‘When I came to this realm, I tried to live my life as a mortal man. But the truth is…you can’t escape your past or what you are, no matter how hard you try.’

Many were shocked when they didn’t know what to say. ‘Yer…yer a god?’ said Applejack when she was the first to respond.

‘Like that Eros feller?’ said human Applejack when she was cautious of him.

‘A god, yes,’ said Caldor when he filled in the blanks ‘But like Eros and his kind, no.’

‘His kind?’ said Luna when she was surprised.

‘What do you mean not his kind?’ said Celestia next.

‘See, in a world where humans come from, there were many kingdoms, each of them worshipping their own gods.’

‘There are more gods on other realms?’ said Rarity when she was partially confused when he mentioned about the other gods.

‘Oh yes plenty,’ said Caldor when he told them ‘There are the Greek gods, Egyptian gods, Roman gods, Trojan gods, Persian gods, Celtic gods, Norse gods and so on.’

‘And, which of the gods does he serve?’ said Sunset Shimmer when she wondered which deity Invictus were.

‘Its…complicated.’ said Caldor when he didn’t want to tell further details of Invictus’ background.

Some of them wondered about his sons as Fluttershy asked ‘Are they gods too?’

‘No,’ said Thunder when he looked at them ‘We removed our godhood and immortality a long time ago.’

‘He’s right,’ said Merlin when he looked at them ‘Because all of us would rather live our lives to the fullest, rather than outlive them.’

Whilst Invictus and the others walked on ahead, Knight told them ‘We all have a choice.’ as he left with them.

Seeing that he helped saved their lives, even went great lengths to help Flurry Heart, and because the Mane 6 and the EG Mane 7 really like his sons, they chose to trust him for now.

‘Wait,’ said Twilight as they looked at them ‘We’ll go with you.’. She stood near them and said to Invictus ‘But if you end up lying to us, you won’t get a second chance.’

‘And if you get in my way or jeopardize our journey, or even deriving us from our mission,’ said Invictus, whilst he sharply raised his sword at Twilight whilst pointing his sword at her, making her very nervous as he spoke with anger in his voice ‘I won’t be hesitant into killing you.’. She swallowed as she was afraid, but he ended up lowering it as he said to her ‘But because of my son Merlin’s admiration for you, I will stay my blade.’

As he walked away, she ended up looking at Merlin surprised, whilst he blushed and tried to look away, making her realize that he likes her, a lot. She chose to let that slide, seeing that she likes him too. After their much needed conversation, they chose to continue, but first they needed to make a stop first, and that was at the Rainbow Bridge.

Author's Note

Sorry this chapter was so short, couldn't think of anything else to make it more exciting.
