The Final Chapter:A Brighter Future
The lights were as bright as snow that clouded all vision. Dylan looked around, seeing nothing for what felt like the longest time, but it was peaceful. He felt the glimmers and sounds of the stars twinkling all around him, for a moment he thought he had found heaven. Only for his vision to slowly return and make out a realm of almost unknown origins. All he knew for certain, was that this realm was where Twilight and Cadence appeared in, the day they became Alicorns.
The tangible mist reached up to his waist as he looked to the cosmos like sky. So many stars twinkled in his eyes before he had to rub them for a moment. Only to suddenly see his hands were light skinned and normal, he used them to touch his face. He then came to realize, he was once again in his normal human form, this had to be heaven. He looked around, only to hear the steps of human feet walking slowly to him from behind, he was quick to turn around to face the noise.
Only to gasp at the sight of Zack Benson himself, emerging through the blue mist. He appeared solemn, but he wore a smile as well, as if he was no longer in pain or sorrow. Dylan swallowed, placing a heart to his chest as he too approached the boy he once considered an enemy.
"Hey…"Zack did his best to greet Dylan after so long.
"Hey… Are you alright?"Dylan asked with a heart that beat like crazy against his chest with hidden happiness.
"I am now… I just can't believe it…"Zack admitted a strange show of disbelief upon a mysterious occurrence.
"Can't believe what…? You've seen talking Alicorn ponies, and now you're practically seeing a beautiful cosmos realm,"Dylan gestured to the world around them and nervously chuckled,"What's not to believe in any more…?"
"I can believe that…! But… I just can't believe you actually… Saved me,"Zack suddenly made Dylan fall silent as the boy placed two hands to his own chest,"You fought the devil himself… Just to save me…!"
"Well… I couldn't just let a kid that was tortured by his old man become Satan's bitch,"Dylan admitted, doing his best to smile as the realm appeared to bring them more peace,"That's not a fate that I'd wish for any one… Not even the kid I shot in a fit of rage…"
"Funny… But… What did I do to deserve this? All I've ever done was make people suffer…!"Zack felt unworthy of being rescued as he remembered the cruel things that he did.
"You didn't have a friend that could teach you how to love and have kindness, all you ever did was suffer, and that's all you knew,"Dylan explained as he knelt down to Zack and put a hand to the boy's shoulder,"But that time is over… You're free now, and I can take you to Equestria."
Zack wanted to speak of excitement at the idea of going to Equestria. Only for a cold truth to ring in his mind and make him fall silent for a moment, thinking of whether to tell Dylan a truth. Dylan was quick to worry after seeing Zack fall silent and lose interest so suddenly.
"Wouldn't that be fun? It's a very peace loving world, and so full of wonders…!"Dylan insisted upon the suggestion before Zack took in a deep breath and released.
"I… I can't go with you Dylan…"His answer shocked Dylan and made his beating heart instantly freeze.
"What…? Why not? You're free, you can do anything now…!"Dylan worried and held Zack's arms in fear of losing Zack.
"I'm dead Dylan… The only thing that brought my body back to life was the devil himself,"Zack explained while Dylan's face began to falter and grow sad,"Without him I'm just a spirit that's going to finally rest in peace…!"
"No… That's not… That can't be how it works. You deserve a second chance…!"Dylan's voice suddenly trembled the moment he was hearing this heart wrenching truth.
"There's nothing I can do… I can only hope that I can rest in peace in a happy place after death…!"Zack admitted before feeling Dylan's hands tremble as they tightened on his arms.
"I don't want to leave you here to just fade into nothing…!"He begged Zack as the boy spotted actual sadness in Dylan to see him leave.
"Dylan…"Zack finally released his own emotions and did the impossible.
Dylan suddenly felt Zack open his arms and hug him tightly. This triggered the tears to flow from Dylan as he slowly wrapped his arms around Zack as well. For a moment, they were silent, letting their days as enemies die and be replaced by friendship that drove them to this hug.
"I…wanted to save you… Free you from these nightmares…"Dylan spoke as his lower lip was forced to tremble from his grief for the boy's death.
"And you did… I'm free… I'm no longer going to suffer any more… I can sleep forever now…"Zack informed the man as they partially parted from their hugs.
"Please… This shouldn't have to end like this…"Dylan begged one more time before Zack slowly released him.
"It's probably the best we could ever hope for… And I'll never forget what you did for me."Zack promised before he suddenly backed away from Dylan, and into the mist.
"Wait…! Zack…!"Dylan called to the young man before Zack had suddenly disappeared into the mist.
With his peace made between himself and Zack, the boy could rest in peace. He looked away for a moment to reel back from the sorrow of Zack's passing, wiping his tears away. Only to see the invisible ground under his feet quake and rattle the realm around him. The great white light once again erupted around him, blinding his vision before he felt himself falling. He tilted over, and suddenly felt himself land back first into crunchy green grass, and that's when his sight returned.
He looked around, seeing the orange and yellow glimmer of the morning sky. Slowly he sat up, panting and looking to himself, seeing that he was in his human pony hybrid form once more. He then felt his arms be lifted by what could only be his loves of day and night. He looked to his left and right, seeing very happy and loving queens full of pride an joy for him. For they then looked forward, gesturing to the great dragon form of the devil itself.
Only it had turned to stone, and was slowly cracking up like an eroding rock. His red eyes had faded, and before they knew it, his body had then suddenly burst to pieces. Chunks and gravel littered the ground before steam rose to the air until it all sunk into the ground. The three of them then looked around to see the same fate befalling what remained of the demon army. Smoke raised from their crumbling bodies before dissipating upon bursting to rubble and pieces.
"Good riddance… And rest well Zack…"Dylan spoke before he was finally able to stand up and be hugged by Celestia and Luna.
"You did it… You slayed the most powerful and oldest evil that has ever existed."Luna Spoke as the crowds of remaining horses, yaks, and ponies erupted in victorious war cries.
"Did you free Zack? Where is he?"Celestia asked while Dylan looked down for a moment and let out a sigh.
"He's… Free… He can rest in peace… Somewhere among the stars…"Dylan answered and looked to the sky before looking to Canterlot castle and it's missing city.
"We have a lot of work to do on that mountain before our city can return to the way it was,"Celestia sighed, as she and Luna held his hands tight,"So we clearly have no time to celebrate our victory, especially not without a city to celebrate in."
"We might be able to assist you all with that. Glad that your noses are to the grind stone…"Thunder suddenly called to Dylan as Astral helped him walk to the king.
"Our victory has come at last…! The demons are gone, and our world is safe once more,"Astral jumped in to add more to her injured husband's wise words,"It's all thanks to you… The King Of Equestria! DYLAN STONE!"
"And now comes one more means of work that must be done… Kingdoms are in shambled, people are scared,"Rain informed of their current next steps towards healing the world from this war,"Let us all rebuild our fair kingdoms, and bring back the spirit of our people… Not as divided nations… But as a whole realm of Equis… Through friendship and hardship…!"
"That's what I was thinking… Would it be alright if we started with my kingdom?"Dylan asked, letting the others look to on another with smiles and nod with agreement.
Before they knew it, they all had made it back to the mountain. Entering through the path they used to descend and go into the final battle with the dark one himself. After entering the castle grounds, Dylan was the first one to rush to the cave entrance. He panted, with both fear and excitement in his hear, he stopped himself by hitting against the door. He then opened the door that lead to the cave, seeing the torches still lit before he then called out to Discord and the princesses.
"HELLO?! Every pony! It's over! Victory is ours at last! The war is over!"He called out and let his voice echo through the cave to alarm the citizens.
He stepped back from the cave, and awaited for a response or appearance. All was quiet, but the silence gave away to the sound of hooves walking upon stone. He backed away so more, just as Twilight and Cadence peeked through the door and into the morning sky. Slowly they exited, and gasped with underwhelming emotion to see Dylan and all the others in one piece. Discord was quick to reappear in a flash of white magic, taking in a big inhale of a fresh new day.
"Hello! Well I have to say I had my worries at some points, but you did it Dylan,"Discord cheered and hugged Dylan tight out of pride to have some pony like Dylan for a friend,"Oh my goodness, this is such a momentous day! You, the new king of Equestria! Have vanquished the greatest evil that has ever lived…!"
"I know… The war is over Discord… Now comes the next part."Dylan informed his friend before Twilight already knew what that was.
"We need to rebuild what's been broken through out Equestria… Starting with Canterlot."Twilight finished for Dylan as he nodded to the city.
"Then we have a lot of work to do with this city."Dylan answered, only to hear Discord spat at the idea of hard labor ahead.
"Please… All of you have already exhausted yourself in battle, allow me,"Discord made the gates open wide while Cadence slowly began to bring out the citizens,"As a newly titled protector of harmony… I must help restore it to our worlds…!"
"Discord… You… You're priorities have seemed to have changed. What happened?"Luna asked as Discord slowly strolled till he was outside the gate, and standing before the crater that was once their city.
"I decided to grow up, and see that chaos can make things fun, but it can also destroy everything,"Discord raised his paw and claw to the sky and let out a deep breath,"I need to protect harmony and keep all chaos on a well controlled leash…"
As the ponies, griffons, horses and yak citizens all exited the caves. They heard the thunderous clap of Discord's limbs clap together, and immediately make the mountain rumble. Dust lifted from the rock itself before the ground under their hooves trembled as well. Discord focused, pouring in a strong amount of magic into this spell he wished to perform. He scrunched his claw and paw together and lifted them as high as he could, before he suddenly brought the ground of the city itself back.
It all lifted from the very bottom and fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle. Every chunk of cobble stone and mountain rock fitted together and melded into one. They all joined their leaders to watch as the draconequus brought back the city grounds, but he was not done. He released another breath, and snapped both fingers, before houses and businesses reappeared in a flash. Cheers slowly began to rise from the crowds as their homes, businesses and beloved city to nature areas returned.
"Discord…! I can't believe this… This is incredible…!"Dylan admitted before Discord ceased his magic and wiped a bit of sweat from his face.
"Well that just saved us a year of hard works… Well done, Discord."Astral complimented Discord's power while the citizens slowly strolled pass them to go to their homes.
Yeah… There's one more thing that we need to fix before we can really begin to make a better future,"Dylan decided while looking to Discord for his assistance,"Care to join us for a trip to the Griffon kingdom, Discord? We could really use your help there."
"But of course Dylan… Anything to assist my friends."Discord admitted his new found and growing passion for the friends around him.
"In the meantime… Me and Shining Armor have our own work to do back at the empire,"Cadence joined in while holding the crystal heart, as crystal ponies amassed behind her and her husband,"We need to rebuild our home, and the crystal heart can do that with a bit of it's people's love… It may be some time till we can visit you all again…"
"Our hopes and wishes go out to you Cadence… We hope to see the both of you and the Crystal Empire rise again,"Dylan admitted while putting his hands to the princess of love and her husband,"With it… Your love can make Equestria's healing process from this war so much stronger."
"We'll keep you all updated with the Empire's progress."Shining Armor replied with a proud smile to the man he truly saw as a true king of the future.
Griffon Kingdom
Before they knew it, a day's long trip had taken Dylan and his queens to the old Griffon kingdom. They currently stood before the ruined kingdom, where the demon army once arose from. Now they could watch Discord reappear and assist with the revival of the proud kingdom. He couldn't have began the process at a better time, since Rain was just arriving with Gilda and the last of their griffons. They got a lovely view of the magic as white light surrounded the destroyed castle.
Upon their landing, the griffons stood at attention as the draconequus put more power into this spell. Dylan showed confidence in his friend's abilities, and it gave Discord confidence in return. Before they knew it, the draconequus slapped both limbs down to the cobble stone. Before a great white flash of magic went off like a harmless bomb that consumed the whole kingdom. They wanted in complete brightness, till the white light settled to reveal Discord's best work yet.
The griffons looked in awe as the entire kingdom itself and even it's villages were completely back. All was finely recreated and rebuilt, it was as if the kingdom was never caught in a war. Rain finally released his first true smile in a long time, while Gilda put a claw to her chest.
"It's all yours once again! Your kingdom has suffered greatly in this war! But all of you can bring it back to life,"Dylan announced to the griffons as he gave a welcoming gesture back to their home,"Together as a whole, we can make this kingdom shine with friendship and love! And it all starts… With the new heir to the throne…!"
"We the griffons will protect and serve the new leader of our king! The day she bestows power to the kingdom to king Tyranus's heir,"Rain explained their promises to bring life back into the griffon kingdom,"To the very end our devotion to Gilda and her child. Full of friendship and love."
"Good… I'm trusting you to take good care of her Rain. You're sword has honored Tyranus and your people,"Dylan placed a hand to the brave griffon warrior in respect,"Now let your swords guide and protect your people's future, in memory of king Tyranus."
"I will, and we wish you the best on your next trip to Yakyakistan to give the word to the Yak king's people."Rain gave his best wishes to Dylan while Gilda conversed with the queens.
"You all really think I can be a good leader? But I've made so many mistakes in the past,"Gilda admitted to her past mistakes involving friends and her king,"I ruined my friendships with old friends, and I wasn't strong enough to protect my king from death."
"You carried on his legacy and allowed himself to fulfill his final wishes before death,"Celestia hugged Gilda while Luna gestured to the opening gates to the castle itself,"Because of you, your people can grow and live in a brighter future, and Tyranus can rest in peace."
"Now you're a noble leader of your people, and you will resurrect your people from the brink of extinction,"Luna added as they watched the remaining soldiers enter the castle while citizens went to the rebuilt houses,"They're already getting situated into their homes and positions… All they need is you and Rain to guide and protect them."
"Well… Guess since I've come this far… I guess I need to do right by Tyranus,"Gilda finally agreed after some deep thinking about the future,"Thank you…. All of you… For making all of this possible for my people…!"
"Not a problem Gilda… You're up Rain. Go make the king proud."Dylan insisted that they get to work right away setting up a means of leadership to get the griffons started.
"As you wish, king Dylan. I will not disappoint you, or king Tyranus,"Rain gave an honorable bow and marched over to Gilda before bowing to her,"Let us make haste to the throne your majesty. We must establish your rule over the griffon kingdom as soon as possible."
"Of course Rain… May we see each other in the future, when all has grown so much brighter…"Gilda spoke before taking up Rain's arm and calmly wondering to the castle.
"Those two would make a lovely couple…"Luna admitted as they waved the two griffons off.
"Well that leaves one more stop for us to make…"Celestia reminded them all as Discord cracked his fingers to prepare for more magic.
"We won't need your magic for this one Discord. I just need to chat with a young new Yak King,"Dylan let Discord relax for the next trip as they casually walked away from the kingdom,"I gotta make sure this kind yak never forgets his friends, and knows that his father was a hero."
Yakyakistan
Dylan and the rest of his group arrived to the snowy and mountainous world of Yakyakistan. He was careful to step out into the snow, knowing that it could easily go from short to deep. Discord chose to stay in the royal cart, sipping hot cocoa and sitting by his own very fireplace. The queens followed in kind, wearing heavy and fluffy coats to keep themselves warm. They walked without delay to the massive doors to the kingdom, just in time for them to open to a surprising sight.
The young face of a small yak slowly exited through the massive doors. He was sleek and less shaggy than the large yak guards that marched behind him. He sighed, his eyes were able to be seen through his coat of heavy wool, and they were serious, but also solemn. He bared the viking like helmet of his father as his guards raised torches to light the way for them. Dylan and the young yak met each other face to face, letting silence take over to find the right words to say.
"You must be the new King Of Equestria. King Dylan Stone,"The yak asked as he respectfully bowed to the human, surprising them immediately,"My name is Yurious. Prince of the yaks and heir to Yakyakista's throne."
"Greetings Yurious. I'm honored to meet you, and I can see your father spoke the truth about your kindness,"Dylan complimented after the young yak bowed respectfully to him,"But… I suppose that is the reason you knew we were coming, and came out to speak with us."
"I wanted to know if the rumors they spoke of is true… Is my father really dead,"The young prince asked the question regarding the fate of his father,"Please your majesty, I need to know if the rumors are true…"
Dylan sighed, his body felt the cold weather around him cease to exist. He knelt down to the sleek little yak and placed his hand upon Yurious's shoulder. He thought out the proper answer to this question, knowing that this yak was nervous to learn the truth.
"Your father made a noble sacrifice, and assured victory for us all,"Dylan answered and saw the the prince lower his head with sadness that struck him hard like a hammer,"He did it for us… And he did it for the kind and loving son he had complete faith in for the future…"
Dylan patted the young yak's back, just as he began to silently cry. He dropped to his knees, only to be assisted in standing up by the Dylan himself. He hugged the light wool yak as he barely heard the weeps of the prince against his shoulders.
"Your father is a hero… And He died, knowing that you could succeed him and make the world better with us,"Dylan explained as he rubbed Yurious's back to comfort the grieving prince," The rest of your fighters will return shortly to tell the entire tale… Know that because of his sacrifice, you and I can build as friends and make the world better, just as your kind heart envisioned."
Yurious slowly lowered his head, and did his best to nod through the tears. Dylan petted his head to help put him at ease, this loss was not going to be easy to deal with. But Dylan could see the promise in the prince, and he felt the very same faith for him as his father did. He slowly stood up, before Yurious slowly looked up to him while wiping his eyes. Doing his best to get a hold of his grief.
"We will give you a few weeks to recover from this loss prince Yurious,"Dylan informed the young prince as he sniffled and choked on his own sobs,"We will message you with condolence every chance we get. And we will hope that you recover so we can begin to build better worlds for each other as a whole."
"Ok…! Just… Please promise me you'll do right by my father…! Don't let his death be in vain…!"Yurious gave his one wish to the king to fulfill.
"I promise you Yurious… Your father has helped carved the path for a new world of peace and happiness,"Dylan agreed as he turned to face his queens and Discord,"Now I will ensure that this future becomes a reality. For the friends I lost, and your father…"
"Thank you… King Dylan…!"Yurious continued rubbing his eyes to rid the tears while Dylan slowly walked away.
"Of course… Please take good care of yourself and your people… King…Yurious."Dylan immediately deemed the prince as a new king of his people.
"It's ok if it seemed a bit difficult to break the news to the prince."Celestia informed as her and Luna took up Dylan's arms to walk back to the chariot.
"You did the right thing. And you saw it in Yurious… He will be a great leader for his people."Luna encouraged the idea that Dylan did the right thing by telling the truth.
"I know… I just hope I can do everything I promised to do as a king."Dylan prayed for his own success for his friends and people.
"You will… That's why we're here. We are your queens and we are here to help make that vision a reality,"Celestia reminded him that they too were rulers of Equestria at his side,"We're a team, and together we can do anything as a team… Even raise a family."
"Yeah… Even raise a family… That sounds, wait what?"Dylan tripped over his words as they entered the chariot before his eyes widened at the strange words.
"Whoops… We forgot to tell him Tia… Silly us,"Luna teased as they all sat together while Discord himself grew curious of this strange info,"Dylan… We found out, thanks to Sapphire Joy… That we are in fact… Pregnant!"
"What?! But… How?!"Discord and Dylan both asked out of total shock at the good new.
"I guess you just had much better marksmanship this time around."Celestia answered with a giggle as Dylan fell back in his seat from surprise.
"Well that seems like a nice reaction from the future father to be…"Luna joked before they were both suddenly hugged tightly by Dylan before he too was in tears.
"I don't believe this… I'm… I'm actually going to be a father… I'm gonna have kids,"Dylan sighed to keep his happiness from pouring out with tears,"Oh my gosh…! Is it too early to know what they'll look like?"
"I can safely say from the looks of their fast development, you may have another hybrid and maybe a pony,"Discord tried to give his best educated guess on what kids were coming for the king and queens,"This is quite the good news for Equestria… And… Your family would be proud Dylan…"
"Thank you Discord… Thank you so much,"Dylan gave his deep gratitude as he held his loves hands all the way home,"Guess there's two more reasons for me to make the future better…!"
Equestria, Canterlot, 10 years later
The years had in fact been productive and brighter for Equestria. The war was never forgotten, but it carved a path for friendship in every corner of the planet. Deals and offerings spread through out every kingdom, prosper was increasing dramatically for all. Many agreements like the first between Dylan and the kingdoms proved to be both profitable, and strengthening bonds. As he now sat within the throne room with his queens as they continued doing paper work and creating new laws.
He wore no armor, but he did bare his old human clothes, and the crown of the king. While his queens wore matching white and blue dresses with opened toed heels. They never got less beautiful or different, all that appeared to change, was the goatee Dylan sported. His appearance may have changed a bit, but his heart never stopped beating strong and proud. As he currently reviewed the prospering kingdoms, including the ones that had long since been rebuilt.
"The Crystal Empire is sparkling with love once more… The crater isn't even noticeable any more,"Dylan spoke quietly, but his queens could still hear him loud and clear," Wow…! The griffon numbers have tripled since the birth of Tiberius Tyranus…!"
"My my… Didn't know griffon's could get down and busy so much."Luna giggled and blushed after speaking in a more flirtatious form.
"I'd get down and busy with the two of you if there wasn't so many stuff to look over,"Dylan chuckled as he looked back to the review papers,"Yurious is really putting that nose to the grind stone since that deal we made together…"
He stopped for a moment and sighed with relief to see it all working like clock work. They were all truly coming together as friends to build a better world. He looked for a moment to a rear window to the far left of the room, where he saw the properly set grave of an old friend. He sighed, remembering everything that Sombra had ever taught him and showed him. He would never forget the sacrifice the unicorn made to help him walk the path to becoming the king of Equestria.
Only to feel Celestia touch his shoulder and snap him out of his stare.
"The Saddle Arabians, and princess Twilight wished to visit us this evening,"Celestia informed Dylan of an impending visit from Atral and Thunder, as well as Twilight,"They wish for possibly a special night tonight. A chance for us to unwind and perhaps… Experience pure love."
"Well shit… Suppose our work is never over. At least that sort of work tonight will be fun,"Dylan lifted his head high the moment his ears perked up to the creak of the throne room doors,"Before the adults get busy, lets not forget the kids that entered the room."
They looked to the doors as they opened, just in time for Sapphire Joy to appear. She wore a long robe glittering with crystals as she wore a gentle smile. Letting a small gray colt with a black mane and tail with a silver streak through it to enter first.
"Greetings Sapphire…! Sombrus…! How goes your day today?"Dylan greeted and asked of their day for today.
"All is well… We just wanted to see if you had some time for these two treasures of yours,"Sapphire and her quiet colt entered the throne before looking back to the door,"They wanted to see if they could spend some time with the three of you here in the throne room."
"Really? Come on in kids. Don't be nervous Luma and Solare."Celestia gently called before two more faces appeared from behind the door.
Slowly a little girl of human Alicorn hybrid nature and an Alicorn colt entered the room. The girl wore a small dress, much like Luna's that went with her moon light colored skin. Her deep blue eyes were like the ocean with sparkles that mimicked stars from the night Her hair blew on it's on in the wind like the queens as she dragged her little feet in deep blue slippers. She was a child of the night herself, and they all knew her… As princess Luma.
Then there was the ambitious and strong hearten colt with sun colored fur. His mane and tail waved in the wind, mimicking the glittering beams of sunlight. His rusty gold eyes had excitement, but his father's precise and proper discipline and parenting allowed the colt to contain his ambition. He was the young and handsome prince of the sun alongside his mother of the sun. And his name forever more, was prince Solare.
"Hey moms… Dad… We wanted to know if we could play here in the throne room?"The girl spoke, her voice was like a child's version of Luna's own voice.
"Also, we tried to make a little book about all of you, but we don't really know much about dad,"Solare touched on the real reason they arrived to the throne room,"We wanted to see if… Maybe you could tell us a bit about what you were like before? Like, back before you met our moms? Or even just the day you met our moms…!"
"Yes! Can we learn about the day you met our moms dad?"Luma admitted her own real excitement about a story.
"Kids, that's sort of a long and personal story. We're not sure if your father has the time to-"Luna was about to deny them the opportunity to learn about their father.
"It's alright… My reviews are done. Come now, sit here children,"Dylan gestured to the foot of the throne chair where the kids rushed to and sat down,"Sapphire, do you and Sombrus wish to join in the story for today?"
"Well… Sombrus, do you wanna hear a story about the origins of the king?"Sapphire decided to ask her son first before they agreed to any story.
"Yes please…"Sombrus agreed with a small smile and a nod of interest before they too joined them upon the throne.
"You sure you're ready to tell them the story, Dylan?"Celestia asked of her king as he slowly nodded.
"Yes… Without it, I would not be who I am right now. Especially without the two of you,"Dylan made his decision final and looked to the smiling and ambitious children,"Well… I suppose a good spot to start off is the day I met your mothers. One snowy night, twelve years ago…"
