Memories Of Days Past

Chapter Three

        Sometimes there are moments I wish I could just forget and pretend they went better than they did. This is one of those moments, I was introduced to a good friend of mine…. it was the floor. So there I was lying on the floor stunned and confused, all the while Rainbow was laughing like a madman behind me.

        Finally I groan and look in front of me, and there he is offering a hoof. I take it expecting for him to help me up, but of course he just stands there, waiting for me to pull myself up. Did I mention, he’s an asshole, one of the biggest you would have ever met.

        “Today is going to be one of those days isn’t it,” I groaned out from the floor.

        “Probably, I mean you could have done better,” Rainbow replied curtly.

        “ You know most ponies don’t like being insulted, especially by their own friends,” I snapped back.

        “Well, you know I thought we were friends Twilight, you know I’m not serious,” Rainbow whispered back.

“Enough both of you, Twilight I will explain everything in due time but for now you will have to wait a bit more,” he plainly stated before going back to whatever he was doing.

“What are you doing anyway?” I turn my head towards him and the box he’s looking through.

“I am looking for some supplies and gear for the all of us, and I would appreciate some help,” he replied instantly.

“Alright I’ll help, what are you looking for?” I asked as I approach the box.

“Pay close attention, I do not want to repeat this twice. First of all I need to find a book, it has chains wrapping it, also there will be more than one of them, if you see them grab two, I can handle the rest of the stuff. The books should be in one of those boxes over there,” he listed off and pointed to a corner of the room.

Seeing not much of a chore I walk over and start looking through the boxes. On the fifth box I opened up, I found what we were looking for, I slowly pull them out and carefully lay them on a table nearby and shout out to the others.

“Hey, I found them what do I do with them!” I shouted over the noise Rainbow was making as she too was looking for some stuff.

“Unravel the chains and bond one of the books to yourself, you will need it later, trust me,” he shouted back from another box.

Knowing what I had too do, I silently walk over to the table and start unraveling the chains, they were a lot heavier than I originally thought. I finish unraveling and lay the chains on the table and open the book, what happened next was something I should have seen coming, but I was really out of it then.

The book slams itself open on the table and starts pulling myself towards it with an invisible force. Surprised by this, i got pulled in and I think my head hit the table, but I’m not sure.

Anyway there was a bright flash and all around me was a library of sorts. Me being the bookworm I am, I picked one up and opened the book, there was another flash and I was in a meadow, the sun was up and shining, wind blew softly against my face. It felt nice after all the shit I went through today or yesterday, but  as suddenly as the image can it left.

There is some crazy stuff going on as when my vision cleared, I still felt the meadow around me, I could still feel the sun and the wind. I was so confused, but then I felt a jolt and my vision clears again, I seem to be doing that a lot lately.

When it cleared again Rainbow was standing over me poking me.

“You can stop poking me I’m back or awake,” I get up pushing Rainbow’s hoof from my face.

“So whaddya see, was it something awesome, come on Twilight, tell me,” Rainbow whines as she helps me up.

“I saw a giant library and then there was a meadow, but that’s really all I saw,” I replied satisfying her curiosity for now.

“What you saw was a magical place, it was called The Celestial Plains, you can still feel its magic upon you,” that was not a question but a statement.

“Yeah, it feels nice and I’ve never heard of these Celestial Plains before, where are they located,” I being the genius I am, having forgotten he was not from this world.

“They are from a place long since destroyed, you may not remember them today, but your memories will come back with time, after all hers did,” he replied as he pointed to Rainbow.

At this point I needed to understand what was going on, and the only way I was going to get information was through waiting as he said, so I sighed and found a nice place to curl up and rest for a bit. I haven’t slept in about a day and my eyes were starting to get really droopy.

I was too tried then to notice, but I felt something on my back as I fell asleep and saw something dark from my peripherals. With that last thought I slowly felt my mind drift off into a dreamless sleep, maybe.

He got up and sighed, he told himself to remember not everyone could stay up for weeks at a time without sleep and function like he could. Oh well, he could always tell Twilight Sparkle the plans later, but for now he let the planeswalker sleep for now.

As she slept, they would not be doing nothing, in fact he and Rainbow would need to locate the rest of the supplies and gear to get moving into their travels of the great Multiverse.
