12 years after the war, both tribes have lived together in peace and harmony, this time sharing the land. If it weren't for Friendship, then the war would never have ended, sometimes negotiating helps rather than fighting for our lives even if that means someone has to die for their land but Black Cross realized that we all live in the same world and we should be grateful for the life we are given.

Black Cross and Emala Jiss had went to the same highway where the war had stopped while it looks abandoned as they settle beside the edge of the bridge they lean their heads on to each other.

Black Cross was beside Emala Jiss to get a view of the sun rising, he throws a pump shotgun off the bridge not wanting to do with weapons anymore, "Goodbye Nexus, you will be missed" he said while falling straight down and breaking apart after hitting the ground hard onto the surface.

Emala Jiss turns to Black Cross smiling at him and questions about their ancestors "All this time, we have been fighting through generations, if only they knew how to stop it" Emala claimed.

"Maybe our ancestors did not know... sometimes we just need to realize what we're all fighting for" Black Cross replied.

Emala sighs as she buries herself onto his shoulder, "Well now we don't have to worry about that..." she said.

"You know there's one thing I still don't get" said Black Cross.

"...and what's that?" asked Emala.

"Spitfire could have lived if he joined us..." said Black Cross.

Emala had kicked his balls hearing that name when he was told not to mention it "I hated that guy" she said.

Black Cross felt pain in his left testicle "Ow" - but Black Cross knew he shouldn't have brought it up - "Which is why you told me not to bring up his name" said Black Cross.

"Exactly..." Emala added.

They both sighed in relief when suddenly a colt appears from behind them.

Black Cross had a son and daughter with Emala Jiss, they named them Sphaeram and Peacemaker. Black Cross looks at his son, "What are you two doing over there?" he say, "Come here and lay down with us Sphaeram" said Emala.

Sphaeram was a hybrid of a zebra and pegasus, she has a black mane and tail with a pink streak in the middle, her eyes were matching Emala's color. She walks over to his parents to snuggle with Black Cross and lays aside from both of them.

"Look, the sun is coming up..." said Emala Jiss.

The four of them were settling down on the bridge together as they view the sun rising beyond the horizon.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" asked Black Cross.

"Yeah... it sure is," said Emala Jiss.

"Emala, you know I never would have left you back there in Manehattan, who knows what could've happened to you if I didn't show up" Black Cross had claimed.

"...and here we are now, you're with me, I probably wouldn't know what to do if I didn't meet you," Emala replied.

"I know but..." - Black Cross paused and realizes that it's not important to them - "nevermind," he said.

"Don't worry about it Black Cross, it's in the past now" said Emala Jiss.

"I guess I should stop talking about that now..." said Black Cross.

"By the way, whatever happened to your friends?" asked Emala.

Black Cross explains what happened to his friends after the war. Apparently, Rainbow Storm was last seen going to Las Pegasus in search for his mother after finding out that his mother was alive but a few years have passed and he never returned or perhaps he probably won't return to Manehattan. Tootsie became a doctor, but after 8 years of success, he suddenly disappeared, and no one has ever heard from him again, wherever he is, that remains a mystery.

"Well I suppose everyone had a happy ending, right? asked Emala, she remembers hearing from her mom, Zophia had left Manehattan to find her father Bust Cloud and after a couple of months she finally found him.

"Well, almost everyone" said Black Cross.

"I guess you're right" Emala added.

Emala Jiss kisses Black Cross on the lips.

"Promise me you'll always be with me" said Emala Jiss.

Black Cross looks at Emala Jiss in the eyes, "Always, no matter what happens, we will always be together," he said.

"I'm very thankful, I feel though as if love have found me" Emala claimed.

Black Cross explains the difference between these two subjects, "Love and Friendship comes in many forms, war just seems to interfere as it breaks everything in its sight, but fate didn't bring us together or love itself, sometimes good things happen and I guess I'm just very grateful for helping" he said.

Emala was touched by his words "I love you Black Cross, I will always be with you no matter what, don't you agree?" she said.

"Of course Emala, we are more powerful when we work together, even when we are far apart, I will always be there when you're in danger... or if I somehow get myself in danger as well," he added as he explains the history of Equestria and how it became as it is today.

Equestria can now be free from fighting. It took many years for ponies and zebras to realize that we all have a home that we should share. Without a world, then there is no point of anything. At least Black Cross had that perspective, everyone was being greedy and argue about things they want but sometimes they need to remember to learn to share. Now after so many generations, a new legacy had just began.

"Promise me you'll love me forever?" asked Emala as she begins to cry from the words he's been sharing with her.

Black Cross had licked her tears from her face and kisses her left cheek where the tears were streaming "Emala, your tears brought me back to life, if it weren't for you then I still may be dead, back when I first met you, I thought my heart may have skipped a beat, but that's just how I feel around you and now you came into my life, so no matter what happens, we'll always be together because truly..." he pauses.

"Because what?" she asked.

"I am forever, eternally yours" he said.

The wind blew across their mane, it was rather calm and heartwarming surrounding the atmosphere, over the horizon there was water in the distance, rain had previously rained there. Below them was a field of flowers and posies bloom where the bodies had been buried after their sacrifice in stopping the war. It was like a moment of truth, or perhaps a dream they thought that came into a reality. The two looked at each and were relieved. They kiss.

The End.

Author's Note

The message that this chapter was trying to encourage readers was that it wanted to show us the reality all around us, the philosophy behind war - whether it's an argument with parents, or maybe even a disagreement with a friend - physiologically, everyone fights for everything because anger is part of us, since the beginning of mankind, our ancestors had kept this emotion, it made us create these "fight or flight" natural survival instincts. I thought it was an important part of the story to add, it was needed and a touching moment with the characters to have, they have a better understanding on the true nature of war and fighting. Power comes in many forms, emotions are controlled by the interactions all around us, and that should be used over the morals we face in reality.
