Little Monsters In The Mirror.

Am I sleeping, or have I died? I have no idea if I’m floating or am I in water. I have no idea if I am talking to someone on the other side of the black Veil or if I’m talking to myself. What happened to me? Where and how did I get here?

“Hello?” I ask the vast void that I’m utterly surrounded by. I know that I might not get an answer but I just had to ask just to say that I did it, though I think that the you only live once don’t apply if you are already dead.

“Oh! Where are my manners, my name is John Sterling. Nice to meet you!" I continue to talk to the void.

“Hello?” I ask one more time they always say. I thought that would get me and response for sure, but there’s nothing... Talking to the void is not getting me anywhere apparently so I’ll just try to~

“Run away?”

Yeah that's what I’m going- what the hell?! I thought,  Was that a voice that I just heard?

“Hello?” The voice asks me.

“Hello? Is anyone there?”

“Sister? Are you there?” another voice speaks you.

“Luna? Oh thank goodness that you are safe.” The first voice responses to the second.

“`Tia! I’m so glad that you are alright!”

“Luna, are you and the girls away from Chrysalis?”

“Yes…” with a slight pause. “I just wish that you didn't have to stay behind…”

“Some-pony needed to stop her before she got the new world after all… As long as the elements of harmony are intact, Chrysalis won’t succeeds in her goals.”

“How long will we be... Gone? the girls are getting a little... “Then they go silent for a little while.

“Anxious?” i interrupt the second voice that was responding as Luna.

“Yes thank you, that's the word that I-” stopping mid-sentence to think from where and whom the voice came from “Who’s there?”

“Like I said before, my name is John.”

“Well this odd, this is the first time that some-pony else that was able tap into our royal link.”

“Are you working with Chrysalis to keep us apart?”

“I don’t think it really even knows what we are talking about Luna.”

“`Tia! This this, thing is the first to interfere with the royal link without being a princess!”

“I don’t like being called a thing. I’m a living being with a body unlike you! Are you sure that you are living yourself!” I yelled in return. The two voices got silent for a little bit after I said that. I think I hit this Luna or`Tia so hard that she/he is speechless...

“Well I… I… Had one for the most part…”

“What happened Luna?!”  The `Tia voice asks the Luna voice with a worried tone.

“Well~” She/ he cleared its voice in desperation.

“Well you see… um uh.” she/he said with a cracking voice.

“What happened Luna!?”

“I don’t know. As soon as we entered the portal, our bodies started to…~”

She got silent for a little bit in hope that someone would finish the sentence…

“Disappear? Disintegrated?” I ask the Luna voice. Might as well add my two cents to the conversation by this point.

“Disintegrated, would best describe what happened...”

“Luna…”

“Well... I just didn’t know what to tell you `Tia. Not even Twilight Sparkle could give me an explanation of what was going on…” in a low tone as if she was going to cry…

“Aw. You sound so cute when you're miserable.”

“I’ll find out where to are and make you eat your words!!” she retorted with a scolding tone.

“Well damn, you don’t need to bit my head off.” I say in a joking manner.

“What you said didn't come out as a joke, um John correct?”

“That's m-”

“Tia! Why are you talking to the...” she/he was quiet for a second, thinking on what to say; cutting me off mid-sentence. Then followed up with her/his sentence. “Bodiless voice. Stop wasting your time talking to it!”

“I'm a disembodied voice you mean? Look at who’s talking, mister or miss bodiless Luna.”

“Humph! If you want to talk to me, Celestia you know how to contact me. Make sure you don’t have this tag along with you next time.”

“”

“Gee thanks. I’ll keep that in mind next time I die...” I feel like the void is somewhat tormenting me via chat room sounds now.

“Your name is John correct?”

“Yes. I’m beginning to think that this `Tia name that Luna called you is a nickname.”

“It is. Do you not know my name, a better question, and what are you seeing?”

“Nope and Nothing. Nothing at all…” with a poker face tone.

“I see…” then after that the voice lets out a sigh.

“Sooo… what’s your real name?” I ask the void to change the topic.

“My name is Celestia. From where I come from I’m a princess and leader of the land of Equestria.  I’m going out on a limb here, but are you really not a changeling?”

“What’s that? Some Korean food?” i joking ask this newly named Celestia.

“I see… then you really are from the new world…”

“Before you ask, no I’m not the leader of Earth and no I'm not a world traveler.”

“Well I wasn’t going to ask that.” Responding with a playful tone then following with a chuckle.

“So you are from Earth. Is what your kind calling your world?”

“Well yes. Say the subject never got to it but I’ll ask now. Why did you guys coming to our world? I mean, it’s unprepared for extraterrestrials like yourself; or selves, for Luna sake.”

”Well… we just wanted to know what it's like.”

“That's it?” I ask with a bitter tone.

“Well you start off small with ponies with you just meet right?” With a slightly sarcastic tone with a chuckle after.

It was quiet again. The silence lingered for what felt like twenty-five long seconds. This conversation was going nowhere fast, that much is for sure. But I have nothing to ask the voice…

I mean, what can you ask someone in situations like this? This is getting a little odd though… I normally don’t remember a dream going for this long, I must be dead.

“Mind if I ask you something?” Celestia asks breaking the silences.

“Ask away. I don’t think that I’m going anytime soon?” I respond with a groan.

“How prepared is your world for a war?” She asks with a slight amount of anxiety.

Well this is really blunt question to be asked, especially from someone that's says that they're from another world. If I’m getting what she is asking she, or really they are planning to take over earth. Though I still don’t think this is a dream or I’m dead…. So I think the safe bet if this is a beyond the grave experience…

“No idea…” I respond with a Childish tone. Although I’m not really lying to him/her either.

“Well this maybe a problem then…” The tone of anxiety rises.

“Why? Are you thinking of taking over earth?” I respond with sarcasm.

“Do you remember what I said to Luna awhile back? About some-pony named-”

“I’m sorry, but why are you saying some-pony instead of someone?” I interrupt her/him. I know it’s not the nicest thing to do but I’m starting to get annoyed with it. I mean the only reason why someone would do this is both they are young and ignorant, and jugging if this was a woman she would be out of this speech pattern. Or he needs to put into a mental institute for reconditioning. Yeah I said that, it is what it is.

She/he lets out a sigh. “Because i am a po-”

“Two words, B.S.”

“Do you want to hear the warning or not?”  She asked with a cold tone.

“What the point? I'm dead anyways, or at least I think.”

“If you are able to talk on the royal link you are alive and well. Maybe sleeping, but not dead.”

“OH… I see… Sorry.” I respond with an apology. Man I feel like a dick now.

“Anyways.” she/he clears her/his throat and continues. “The Changeling named Chrysalis,

is maybe on her way to find my sister Luna and the ones that are following her to you world.”

“And what happens if she finds them?”

“The end all life.” she/he pauses. “Maybe.”

“Maybe? What do you mean, maybe?”

“Well, do yo-” the sound of static from a TV. started up.

“What the?”

With a groan from Celestia. The static begins to get louder. “Don’t have much strength left so John, listen up.”

I was about to say okay to her/him, but started talking before I could.

“I must ask you to find the ponies named Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Flutter-shy! They contain the powe. to def.eat Chrysalis an. her .rmy of c.ang.lin.s! Yo. ...  .he ..ly … …. sav. .. ...”

The static cut her/him off before she/he could finish talking. At this point the static is starting to stop me from thinking of what she/he was trying to say.

“Ugh I liked the sound of nothingness far more the sound of static.”
