Epilogue

Shadow rushed toward the castle, using his magic he opened all the doors and he flew right in. When he got to the throne room he released his hold on his parent.

"You know, I could've teleported us here." Caroline said with a playful scowl on her face.

"Shadow is that you?" Celestia asked.

"Yep, and I brought my parents here as well." Shadow said.

"But it's been nearly 50 years since you vanished." Celestia said as she tried to overcome her shock.

"Any explanations?" Shadow asked his parents.

"When you are in Mazune's realm, time moves differently than it does here." Caroline answered.

"So, how is everything?" Shadow asked looking back at the Princesses.

"Just fine," Luna said with a smile, "I am glad to see that you are well, as well as my sister."

"Thought you said she referred herself as to 'we'" Protector said with a confused look on his face.

"I have gotten over it, it took some time, but I can now speak like a normal pony now." Luna answered.

"We were wondering if you could come to the coronation tomorrow." Celestia said.

"Of course, by the way, how is Isen?" Shadow asked.

"He is fine; he was actually surprised that you allowed him to stay at your house, even giving him money to start out on." Celestia answered.

With that Shadow nodded and vanished.


(Shadow's home)

Shadow appeared quietly behind Isen. He snickered at himself on what he had planned.

"WE'RE ALL IN DANGER!" he yelled.

Isen jumped so high he almost did a flying ninja kick to Shadow's face.

"Miss me?" Shadow asked with a huge grin on his face.

"Shadow! Don't scare me like that!" He yelled, and then registered who had surprised him.

"I'm back; I was gone because I went to save my parents in another world." Shadow explained.

"Well, Sugar Honey Iced Tea, you are amazing, thanks for letting me stay here." Isen said with a smile.

"No problem and you can stay here as long as you need, if you want I can add on a shop for you to work." Shadow said with a smile. Isen smiled as well.

"Thanks." He said as he embraced Shadow into a hug.


(Later that night)

Shadow flew out into the night sky; his parents were sound asleep in his house. It took him awhile, but he managed to convince them to take the large master bedroom. He landed on a cloud and stared at the moon when he heard wings flapping behind him.

"Didn't expect to see you here," A familiar voice said.

"So I'm guessing you are up to date on what happened to me, RD?" Shadow asked as he turned around.

"We all are, heading to the coronation tomorrow?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yep, see you then." Shadow said as he leaped off the cloud.


(The next day, Canterlot)

Shadow was standing off to the side listening to the speech Luna and Celestia were giving.

"And now we would like for Twilight Sparkle, to come forth." Celestia said proudly.

Twilight walked up to the two princesses. Shadow now realized how much everyone changed. Twilight's friends were all there, and he noticed how they all had crowns on.

'It's because they are the princesses of Ponyville castle.' A voice from the shadows explained.

"Twilight sparkle, do you promise to raise and set the moon?" Luna asked.

"Yes, Princess Luna." Twilight answered.

"And do you promise to raise and set the sun as well?" Celestia asked.

"Yes, Princess Celestia." Twilight answered.

"Then we both grant you the power of the sun and moon, and pronounce you as the queen of Canterlot castle." Celestia said as a light engulfed her and Luna. Then they vanished from sight.

"Twilight as queen? I'm going to be working for her? Not saying I don't want to, but I thought I was going to work for Celestia." Shadow said with a chuckle.

Twilight then walked up to Shadow. "Shadow, can I ask you to come with me?"

"Sure, what is it?" Shadow asked.

"I want you to be a bodyguard for my child." Twilight said with a smile.

"Sure, I'll do it." He said smiling back.

They both were engulfed in magic and teleported to a room Shadow didn't recognize. He walked toward the basket and saw a small purple Kirin; she even had Twilights' hair. Shadow took a big sniff and smelled Spikes blood.

"Spike is the father?" Shadow asked.

"How did you… oh, right. Dragons can smell really well, forgot that and I'm married to one." She said as she hoof palmed.

"Hey Shadow, Long time no see." Spike said as he appeared from behind the door. He had on black shorts with a white button up shirt.

"So, what did you name your child?" Shadow asked.

"We named her after a gem, Amethyst Sparkle." Spike said proudly.

"I swear on the dragon's word that I will always protect this child." Shadow said as put his hand over his heart.


(?)

"So you were defeated, brother." A voice hissed.

Mazune cracked his neck, "only a simple defeat, once I regain my strength, we will go and get Naraku, and then this world will be ours to rule."

"Haven't you forgotten?" the voice asked, "Gramzon is still the problem."

"Oh, Kumara," Mazune said with a laugh, "We all know that he is in a form that is the weakest of them all."

"True, but we will never find out who he is" Kumara said with a low growl.

"That sword of the Kirin, it may have stopped me now, but once we fuse it won't have any effect on us." Mazune said with an evil laugh that echoed across the darkness.


A/N
