Chapter 11: The Message From Beyond
When Blades and Luna walked into Luna's room the door closed behind them on its own. Blades turned ready to fight another demon that he had missed, but then he froze. Luna backed behind Blades in fear of who was there. It was death himself, standing in front of the door. His cloak hid most of his bony appearance, but he could never be mistaken for anypony else. He gave a toothy grin and made Blades shrink in fear. "Did I really just survive a demon war, just to die by your hooves now? If so then why? Am I to pay for my past now that Celestia let me live?"
Death shook his head slowly and spoke in the same calm and eerie voice. "You shall not die now nor by my hooves. When you die, as long as you keep on this path of love and protection, it will be of old age and peacefully. No I am here not for your past, but about a message for your future. I have a mission for you if you will accept it. Which you will if you wish for those you care for to be safe." Blades was now calmer and intently listening to what he had to say. Luna on the other hoof was still scared out of her mind of this ancient alicorn.
"I will take this mission to keep those I care for safe. Just tell me what must be done." Death gave a creepy smile. "So eager to protect everypony else, no matter the cost to you. But for this mission all you will need is to be ready for a fight. In exactly 1000 years from this day there will be another war. But that war will decide all that will be. If you succeed in what must be done, then peace stays forever on. if you fail, hell in Equestria. You must fight with your army once more to close the gates of Tartarus for the rest of time." Blades was dumb founded, and Luna excited but scared.
"You must make sure the elements of harmony are assembled and that the princesses know this spell. When both of these things are met, then your army will fight to keep them safe while the spell is placed." Blades looked sad but nodded. "It will be done." Luna could hear the sadness in his voice. "Why do you not sound happy about this?" Death answered her. "Because with the gates of Tartarus are closed the demons and even hybrids will be sent there with the closing of the gates." Luna gasped and looked terrified of losing Blades, even if it was to save the world.
"What? Why? Is there any way to stop that part?" Death gave a sly smiled that freaked out Luna but made Blades lighten his mood. "There is only one protection from being drug there when the gates close. But I cannot tell you what that is, but I can tell you that on the track of love you travel, Blades will remain by your side." Luna was confused but Blades understood. "Thank you for this message and this mission. I will not let you, Luna, or anypony else down. I will not let this world of peace fall under my watch." Death nodded.
"I knew I could count on you to save this world. And so I will restore your true nature and soul to its real place. I will restore you to your real name. You have regained your right to use your true name. After all this time you will once again be known as Love Saving Blades. Now live life like it was your last day and enjoy it all." With that shadows swirled around him and Death disappeared into the floor. Blades was left smiling wide. He now had a reason to live. He had a mission. He had his honor back. He was no longer seen as a monster.
Love Saving Blades now had love that would never end and he would use that to save the world. What more could anypony want?
