Shadows of the Past. Lights of the Future.

Book 1 “Darkness” - Chapter 1 “Lights”

I Command the Past

The “Little Girl” suddenly awakened feeling awfully tired and with a headache.

All I can remember is that I was in a strange place and a voice asked me to watch. The “Little Girl” thought feeling awful due to the headache. I opened my eyes and… and nothing I can’t remember. What’s that a dream? The “Little Girl” thought feeling the headache going worse the more she tried to remember what she was able to see.

The “Little Girl” was deep in thoughts trying to figure if it was a dream when they were cut short by the feeling that something was coming closer. The “Little Girl” didn’t know why she was having this feeling or how but with each second she passed thinking about it the feeling was growing stronger.

A little scared and feeling restless The “Little Girl” opened her eyes to try to see. Trying to figure where she was the “Little Girl” started to look around, she was for some reason unable to move her head or her hands that she did know she had but was unable to feel.

All the “Little Girl was able to see was darkness, not a darkness like the one in the void, this darkness did have a feeling around it and she was able to faintly see things around but was unable to identify then.

The “Little Girl” was growing more and more scared with each try to move and see what was coming close to her, feeling that trying to do something currently impossible was a waste of precious time she closed her eyes and concentrated in the other sense she knew she had “Hearing”.

The “Little Girl” thought that she was able to “hear” that voice in her dream even if she didn’t know how she was able to and now she was going to use it to find the source of that feeling.

Concentrating and calming her restlessness the “Little Girl” started to hear her surroundings trying to figure what was coming for her. At first the Little Girl was Unable to hear her surroundings the only thing she was able to hear was a pounding sound, but that sound she figured was coming from her, The “Little Girl” was able to figure that whatever that sound was it was part of her and it wasn’t important and that it was best to ignore it.

The “Little girl” concentrated even harder ignoring her own sound and started to concentrate in her surroundings, at first she was unable to hear a single thing but the feeling was growing stronger and stronger, her own sound growing stronger too, she was getting even more scared with each second and then the “Little Girl” hear it, a sound so subtle, so faint it was nearly imperceptible only her fear heightened hearing allowed her to hear it.

Finally finding a source for the feeling and being able to hear it faintly but sure it was there the “Little Girl” opened her eyes and started to move them around trying to locate and see the it, At first it was hard to figure where was the source but with her hearing and the feeling she was able to figure a direction to look.

The “Little Girl” was slowly getting accustomed to the darkness and was able to faintly see the ceiling and some things around her but what called her attention was something out of place, it was like the Stars and the night sky where moving around and flowing in weird shapes, but what was most strange was those pair of blue eyes glowing faintly watching her from the darkness.

The “Little Girl” Feeling more and more scared with each second that those eyes stared at her tried to move and put distance, look for to safety or at least defend herself but she was unable to feel what to move or get a clear image of what she did use to move, even the hand she did know she had where currently unusable, nothing moved and forced her to stay in the floor waiting for those eyes get closer, that feeling coming closer and closer scaring her more and more until she did the only thing she was able. Scream.

“STAY AWAY FROM ME” The “Little Girl” screamed with tears in her eyes clouding her vision. There she was all in tears and sobs unable to move and waiting for the thing that was coming closer to reach her. But what happened next left The “Little Girl” surprised.

Suddenly The pair of eyes showed surprise, which was by itself strange and in the same way they changed to a knowing and what the Little Girl” Guessed was pained gaze, suddenly a faint light appeared way below the pair of eyes but out of her angle of Vision for her to observe and seconds after that another faint light started to glow directly over the pair of eyes growing stronger with each second allowing the “Little Girl” to observe and figure why she was scared and the reason of her strange feeling, but what she was able to see made her mind stop for a second.

In front of her was a strange creature, deep blue with four long and thin appendages hmmm... legs? Are those legs?? The “Little Girl” thought watching in awe unable to comprehend what she was seeing.

Tall and slender with long neck ending in a strange head connected to a long nose. Is that a horn glowing? The “Little Girl” thought looking to the horn over its eyes, but what was most strange was the hair, it was a long and flowing hair made of what looked like stars and night sky growing out of its head going all over its back  moving on is own and other part made of the same growing out of the end of the further pair of legs.

The “Little Girl” keep staring at the creature in surprise and awe. She was unable to move her eyes out of the creature and was trying to understand and figure what she was seeing. She was thinking and thinking over what she was seeing. Is that a Horse? What is a Horse? The “Little Girl” thought getting angry at herself for making her now nearly forgotten headache grow worse. How I know that is a horse? No wait it have a horn so it is a Unicorn. The “Little Girl” corrected herself.

A unicorn with hair made out of Stars and night sky. The “Little Girl” thought getting amused  and forgetting that she was scared of it a just few seconds in the past and wondering how she knew that it was a Unicorn or what was a horse. Not use getting angry and going over it again. Let’s just go around it, I want to avoid getting my headache worse. The “Little Girl though chastising herself in her mind.

Wait! it is called mane, in horses the hair is called mane. The “Little Girl”  corrected herself about something she didn't know how she know again growing a little angry, she was deep in thoughts when the Unicorn did something unexpected taking her away out of her train of thoughts and her headache.

The Unicorn moved one of her front legs next to the other touching something with its pawn?? No wait is Hoof. The “Little Girl” thought getting amused. With a dexterity she didn’t know the Unicorns did have it started to touch in the place The “little Girl” figured the first light appeared.

In the time the Unicorn started the light in it´s horn and the time she started to touch her leg it was gotten closer so she was able to see the place the first light appeared, the source of the first light looked like a something made out of glowing gems and a glowing surfaces in a black body connected to the leg, after that the Unicorn started to make strange noises out of its mouth at first sounding strange but with little time starting to sound strangely like words.

“C... Y.u .N...r.ta.D m.?” Was the first understandably sound heavily mechanized and confusing.

“Can Y.u Und.stand me?” it Sounded less confusing and more like words but still heavily mechanized.

“Can You Understand me?” Asked the Unicorn a third time, this one with perfect words but sounding in a strange and somewhat mechanical voice.

Did the Unicorn just Talk? and I did understand it? The “Little Girl” thought getting surprised unable to figure what was happening and getting more and more confused.

“Can You Understand me?” The Unicorn asked again with a different voice this time sounding less mechanical and more alive and if the “Little Girl” didn't hear wrong in a female voice.

“How can I understand you?” The “Little Girl” asked to the Female? Unicorn in a surprised voice.

“Good the Pre-stored translation spell is working correctly.” The Unicorn answered in a pleased voice.

“What are you?” “Are you a Unicorn?” “How can I understand you?” What is this place?” The Little girl asked starting to feel scared again and getting more and more surprised about everything that was happening to her.

“Well I am not a Unicorn, I am an Alicorn I have wings.” The Unicorn answered showing her Wings to The “Little Girl”.

“And you can understand me thanks to a pre-stored translator spell.” The Alicorn? Answered showing the device in her leg.

“And about your last question I can't answer you until you answer my own questions.” The Alicorn answered the “Little Girl” last question in a cutting manner.

The Alicorn closed her eyes for a short time and opening then again with a sharp and aggressive  gaze unfurling her wings in a threatening manner. “Answer Me now Human.” The Alicorn asked in a strong voice nearly sounding like a scream. Human? I a Human? She thought trying to understand why she called her that and feeling scared by the threatening manners.

“What are you doing here?” The Alicorn Asked in a somewhat angry tone of voice.

“I don’t know what I doing here, I don’t even know where I am.” The “Little Girl” answered truthfully trying to not agitate the Alicorn it was pointless to lie she really didn´t know why she was there in the first place.

The Alicorn closed her eyes thinking deeply about the answer the Female Human has given to her.

“How you arrived to this place?” The Alicorn Asked in a angry and aggressive tone of voice opening her eyes with a frustrated and angry gaze making the “Little Girl” even more scared.

“I don’t know how I arrived to this place, I can’t even move I have tried to move all this time.” She answered with a pained expression trying vainly to move, all she was able to move was her eyes.

“Where and what is this place?” The “Little Girl” asked trying to figure why the Alicorn was angry.

The Alicorn started to wonder how an immobile human has arrived here of all places.

“Who send you?” The Alicorn asked getting frustrated about the lack of real answers.

“I don’t know the last I remember is a weird place and a voice ordering me to watch and suddenly awakening tired with a headache and paralyzed.” The “Little Girl” answered feeling bad about the present situation and starting to feel useless and annoyed.

“Who are you?” The “Little Girl” asked back to the Alicorn. “And why are you questioning me?” The “Little Girl” added feeling less scared and more angry.

“I am Luna Overseer of this place and you are not entitled to ask me anything until you answer all my questions.” Answered The Alicorn with an angry tone of voice this time shouting and a throwing a piercing gaze.

“Ok Luna I will answer your questions not like I can do anything with me immobile here.” The “Little Girl” answered trying to contain her tears while feeling less angry and more scared due to her inability to move and defend herself.

“Who are you?” Asked Luna feeling somewhat less angry about the crying female human immobile in the floor.

“Who I am?” “Who?” “WH….?” Was all Luna was able to hear before the human started to convulse and scream in the floor.

“Who I am? Who I am? Who I am? Who I am? Who? Who. WHO! WHO!” That was everything the “Little Girl” was able to say and think before she started to scream and convulse.

Countless Images started to flood her mind making her scream in anguish, each one making the pain in her mind grow worse. She was unable to recognize any of the images but each one made her pain grew worse, she started to hear voices unable to understand then, each one getting louder that the last one until the only thing she was able to hear was a head piercing noise.

And with a last scream she fainted.
