Finding Hope: Hope is Lost

        All day I had been training with my group. Working as a group was much harder than I had expected. Lone Wolf wouldn't cooperate, lock'n'load took forever to analyze the practise dummies weaknesses, and firework ended up blowing up the test coarse. Which we had to repair in the morning. In the end it didnt pay off as it was pretty much firework taking it down on her own.

        Lock'n'loadand I were on their way back to the Stallions sleeping quarters in the barracks. Even if he couldn't really get much done in the nick of time he was a pretty interesting guy. He had grown up on a rock farm. His parents died when he was young so he went to live with his cousins the Pie's.

        "So you don't remember anything before you woke up in the hospital a year ago?" Lock asked "Thats gotta suck."

        "It's not to bad. I just think if my life sucked balls then I'm pretty well off if I don't remember it!" I exclaimed

        "But what if it didnt suck? Then what?" Lock looked up at me curiously, he seemd to be really interested in me, maybe because he was developing a psychological profile of me?

        "We'll every now and then I seem to get a new memory of my past but I don't completely understand it," I explained "Why are you so interested?"

        "Oh sorry if I was being too nosey, my curiosity gets the best of me sometimes." He replied.

        "Ah it's alright, see ya tommorow!" I said as I climbed into bed

        "Yep!" He went to use the washroom

        It was a long and tiring day and I really needed to sleep. For the day ahead tommorow I'm gonna need it. My legs ached and my arms were numb. I was the one taking most of the damge from the training automaton. Bruises covered most of my chest. However Lock had a pain killer spell so it wasn't as bad as it would've been.

        I fell asleep almost instantly. Sleeping like a child. I usually dreamed about regular stuff like luxury and that but this dream was out of the ordinary. I was in a forest in during midnight. Was Luna entering my dream? I heard what that is like and it seemed to be happening.

        "Hello? Who's there?" I called out

        "Don't be afraid," a male voice answered me "I here to talk to you." He was a dark mysterious creature. He had a dark flowing mane and a body black as night. Wait he wasn't a pony, nor griffin.

        "What are you?" I asked

        "Do you not recognize what species I am? How of ton do you look in the mirror!" He joked, wait he's hinting to being the same as me... He was human.

        "Your human? How did you get here?" The questions continued to flow through me.

        "The same as you, however I can't tell you, you'll just have to find out. I'm just here to tell you that your future holds great fortune for you. Gold, fame, glory, love and a new family. I just ask you to stay in the militairy, it is your first step towards these dreams." He explained.

        "Who are you?" I asked for what would probably be my final question.

        "That you may find out soon. For now Joshua Fowls I say goodbye." And with that I awoke in my bed to the raising of Celestias sun.

        I look out the window to the chaotic training coarse I will have to clean up today.

        "I hate Mondays." Was all I said joking as I looked at the calendar beside my bed.
