The darkness is everywhere...

My head is still sore. I tried to get back on my hooves but that's impossible. I looked around. I'm lying in the bed under the cover with night pattern. My head is resting on white pillows. I heard voices. Voices which I heard already. One of them was very close to me. Too close... I think I have enough strength to say something.
"Wait.. are you..." That's all. I couldn't say anything more. But there was no need for asking. I know who is that.
"Oh, so you are awake" The voice was full of anxiety and relief. "I think you know who I am, I think everyone knows"
"Twilight, don't be so sure" The other voice, more calm and confident, came closer to where I am lying. "She was away from the world for quite a long time"
"Sorry. It's just... You know ..." Wait a sec. If that was Princess Twilight just speaking, why was she worried?
"Twilight! Twilight!" Another voice! That one was more happy and cheerful than the other ones.
"What is it Pinkie?"Twilight said a little bit calmer.
"We are all here!" Why was she so happy? "Are we going to make an awesome Rejoin Party?"
She is so excited, but isn't she one of the element's? And what did she meant by "we are all here"? Did she meant the other elements? I would like to ask them so many questions, I would like to see them.Why am I so weak? What happened? I remember that pink bubble and that dark place but there is nothing more. I need to move, to look at them but.. I can't. I used rest of my strength to say these few words. Or maybe I'm just dreaming and that's why I can't move?
"Is that her?" I heard doors opening and patter of hooves on the wooden floor. 'Twilight what happened.?"
I felt sleepy. Softness of the pillows and the warmth of the bed put me into a deep sleep.

I'm standing face to face with Nightmare Moon. Her eyes are glowing with an anger. Her mane and tail are flowing around here covering her like a shield. Her wings are spread when she stands in the light of the moon. The moon which was her prison for ages. I'm alone in the middle of the dark throne room. Outside I hear screams of the ponies. Than the light appeared and the Nightmare Moon turned into Princess of the Night. Beside her, Princess Celestia showed up and as fast as she did, she disappeared with her sister leaving me alone in the darkness of the night. Suddenly everything shifted and now I'm standing on the road with lined rows of statues beside it. These statues are showing all kinds of animals, even this ones which I never seen in my life. Most of them broke and some of their parts started to join into a new statue. It has the head of a pony, tail of a snake, wings of the bat and the bird, horns of the dear and something else, etc. It came alive and I was standing in front of a a creature which I think I hate the most. It is Discord the one who was once scared of me but this time he isn't looking at me but he is looking up in to the sky filled with the stars. I saw someone behind me. That was Twilight Sparkle but she has no wings. Her eyes are glowing with a bright white color and her horn is overflowing with magic. She sends a rainbow which goes through me and when it reaches Discord I'm moved somewhere else. Now I'm surrounded by Changelings and...

I woke so suddenly that I nearly jumped down from the bed. I am covered with sweat even if my dream wasn't a nightmare. I looked around me. No one was here. I pulled myself up and I made my way to the stairs. I heard quite voices from the room under the one which I was now. I was going down and the only light source in the room was a candle on the small table at one side of the room. Walls are covered with shelves holding incredible amount of books on all kinds of topics. History, magic, everything!
"Hi!" Pink mare with cheerful, blue eyes jumped out of the darkness and tones of confetti with her"We made you a Wake Up Party but you are already awake so it will be you're Awake Party!"
"Yeah. thanks" I didn't really know what to say"You're Pinkie Pie... right?"
"Yes!" Pinkie started to jump around me like a ball "And you are?"
"Drakefire" I don't know how can she be so energetic?
She wasn't the only one in the room. Light turned on and more ponies appeared. Lots of ponies appeared from everywhere shouting and welcoming me. I was happy that someone wasn't thinking about me like about a monster, but I didn't dared to look up into their eyes. Party started and I get myself charmed by the music and all kinds of food.

After the party ponies started to leave one by one. I think all that took around two or three hours. I looked at the clock.
"What the?" It was 13:00.
It is still dark outside and the moon is high above our heads so why? Now only I and Pinkie were left in the room. Suddenly doors swung open with a bang and the blue Pegasii with rainbow mane and tail flew through them. She looked around and when she spotted me she appeared in front of me in a blink of an eye. She looked at me so close that I felt like she want to look into my soul. I couldn't stop myself and I looked up. Her purple-pink eyes met my glowing, yellow eyes. She jumped back as though she wanted to dodge a blow. I just realized what I did. I lowered my eyes that no one would see them.
"Rainbow?" The voice came from behind the door "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I think so-o" She pulled herself together but still she was keeping her distance.
"Dear, Rainbow" Through the door came white Unicorn "You know it;s not nice to blast through the door like that"
" I know. But when Twilight told me about that new pony in a town I was hoping that would be an awesome Pegasii like me" Rainbow said with a little disappointment.
"Still, you should try to be more gentle." Unicorn looked at the blue mare with a instructive look." This Unicorn just came here a while ago and she is not yet used to this place"
" I think you should be less sophisticated" Rainbow said more to herself than to the other pony. "Anyway, where is Twilight?"
"I'm Rarity" The unicorn just ignored the question and she put her interest on to me. "You're name is Drakefire, right?"
"That's right" I said "You shouldn't be so harsh for her"
"My dear, Rainbow Dash is too harsh, I can't let her do whatever she wants"
"Wait, what does that meant?" Rainbow flew up to the roof and back down to meet Rarity's sight.
"Are you hungry?" Rarity ignored her again
"Yeah, I think I would like to eat something"
"Why are you ignoring me Rarity! Don't play dumb, I know you hear me!" Rainbow's anger grew bigger every time Rarity ignored her.
"Came with me sweetheart. I will take to more quite place"
I came out with her. Where was Pinkie? Did she sneaked out when Rainbow came in? Maybe when I looked up she saw my eyes and \got scared? I've got more questions than answers. I think Rarity will really take me to some place where I can think.
