Power of dream
The Nightmare
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWho was that blue horse? Throughout my entire time in my realm, I've never thought this much about things before. But eventually, I gave up on that lingering thought and decided to occupy myself, just in case if the blue horse comes back. I though about the valley of my realm filled with beautiful and brightly colored flowers, and the world bended to my thoughts. The valley of grass was filled with flowers of every color of the spectrum, with the tree as the center of attention. I smiled and sprinted around the field, scattering petals in every direction, then falling down to the ground. My grin widened as I thought of another way to have fun. I jmped into the air and stopped the flow of gravity making the petals float back up again. I shot myself across the field with a powerful blast of wind and landed on another set of flowers, making the petals explode beneath me. But my joy was about to be confronted.
The grass around me started to turn blood red, and the sky became pitch black. The tree slowly lost its leaves, turning into a dead part of my once beautiful field. Only a circle of my field remained around me, like a shield. But then something rose up from the ground. It seemed like me...but wasn't exactly me. It was a he. And all of the clothing is he wore was black, and he had no eyes, instead a bottomless void were in his sockets, flowing with blood and black liquids of corruption. His teeth were long and were like spikes hanging on flesh. His back splits open, with tentacles with blades made out of bone lashed out.
This...is my nightmare.
Celestia has finished lowering the sun below the horizon, and Luna was finished raising the moon above the sky. Luna walked up to Celestia.
"Are you ready for this sister?" Luna warned.
Celestia nodded with no worry in her face whatsoever.
"Alright, then let us do this." Luna sighed.
"Dream scape." Luna whispered.
Luna's horn was enveloped by a dark blue aura as the spell activated. A bright light filled their eyes as they begin to seep into the dream realm. After a few seconds, the light faded away, revealing bubbles of dreams of every living thing. But one standed out from all the rest. In the sky was a giant dream realm, the biggest one Celestia has ever seen. But something was wrong, even Luna knew about that too. The bubble was dark red, and whipsers emanated from the bubble...whisperes of sorrow, anger, fear, and sadism.
"Something is not right. The dream realm didn't look like this when I saw it." Luna had a face of great concern.
Celestia already knew that. The whispers were negative and the realm almost looked like it was corrupted on the outside. Celestia ran to the realm for no reason, with her sister shouting at her not to go in, but she didn't care. She jumped into the dream realm and her eyes widened as she looked at the world around her.
The realm was a grassy field with the color of blood. The sky was pitch black, not even a single point in the sky. In the middle was a tree, dead...with wilting flowers slowly turning to dust. Luna was right behind her, with the same amount of worry on her face.
"Look. Over there." Luna pointed out.
She turned her head and saw two figures in the distance. One wore all white, the other wore all black. The black clothed figure had no eyes, instead...and endless void was in its eye sockets, with blood and corruption flowing down, like tears. The smile was jagged and sharp, perfect for shredding and consuming his victims. Tentacles made out of decaying flesh potruded its back, flailing around with blades made out of bones. And for the first time, Celestia was afraid. The dark and gruesome creature radiated a godly caliber, even Luna was afraid of it. The other creature radiated the same caliber, but in a more gentle way. Celestia looked down to its feet and saw emerald green grass in a small circle. The two creatures stared at eachother, then charged.
I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of fighting off these nightmares...twelve years of fighting that never stopped. I was tired of it, tired of it all.
I want to wake up.
For as long as I can remember, I fought these nightmares that invade my realm and their hope to destroy my happiness. The horrid creatures are self aware, they aren't mine to control...which means they happen all by themselves and I can't stop them by will.
The nightmare tried to pounce on me, but I rolled out of the way just in time and created a sword in my hand. I slashed at the nightmare with no hesitation and it roared in agony, and for a moment...the world suddenly brightened up back to my creation. But it stopped just as fast, going back to the dying field it is now. I jumped back and pointed my finger at the nightmare.
Celestial arc.
A beam of pure light was shot directly at the nightmare as it took the hit and was engulfed. The beam faded away, revealing nothing. I raised my eyebrow...nightmares never go down easily. I was tackled by the side and I felt something sharp cutting me open. I looked and saw the nightmare slicing up my flesh and eating it. I was afraid...and nightmares fed off fear. But then the nightmare was hit by a dark blue beam, and it flew off me. My body healed instantly as I stood up again, looking up at the nightmare. But before the nightmare could recover, a giant golden magic blade pierced the nightmare, and it stopped moving after a few seconds.
The realm quickly came back to life as the nightmare faded away, making the flowers and the stray petals regian life, and the tree got its leaves back, the sky was no longer black.
I turned around and saw the blue horse again, this time...with a new companion. The other horse was white and a little taller than the blue one. That horse must be her sister...and yes, I did figure out that it was a she.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt?" the white horse said with a big concern in her eyes.
I shook my head as a response.
"What is this creature sister?" the white one asked the blue one.
"I don't know. When I first saw him, I thought he was just lonely. But after that...thing showed up, I don't even know if he even gets peace." the blue one explained the best she can.
The white one looked at me, with even more concern...and this time, worry.
"Tell me, what was that thing?" The white one asked for answers.
I wrote I the air as a golden glow followed my finger.
A nightmare.
Luna and her sister had their eyes widened to the size of dish plates. That was a nightmare?! It looked more like a demon, even the power it gave off was related to a demon! Luna stared into his eyes, seeing a sad, and wanting glow in them.
"What is it that you want?" Luna asked.
The boy wrote again in midair.
I want to wake up.
Luna already knew about this. The boy wanted to wake up because he didn't want to face those nightmares anymore, he just wants a peaceful life without anything harming them whatsoever... that's how every sentient creature wants their life to be.
"Umm...sister? Can you tell me more about this boy?" Celestia questioned.
Luna looked at the boy once again, who is still staring at her with shining curiostiy, looked back at her sister, and began.
"This boy was born in the year two thousand and and somehow went into to a coma when he was twelve years old, and for twelve more years it stayed in that coma."
"But it's physical form is still the same, even after twelve years." Celestia added.
"For that reason...I don't know." Luna shook her head.
"But can we help him out?" her sister reasoned.
Luna placed her hoof on her chin, thinking of a way to help the poor boy. Suddenly, an idea popped in her head.
"Maybe we can transport this boy to Equestria and heal him." Luna planed.
"But, what are we going to do with him after we heal him?" Celestia spoke about the flaw in her plan.
Luna just shrugged.
The two goddesses approached the boy, the boy showed no sign of worry at all to them.
The two lowered their horns, while Celestia's horn glowed a golden aura, Luna's horn glowed midnight blue.
"Healing rift." the two goddesses muttered.
Ribbons of light swirled around the boy, and the boy started to levitate into the air. The ribbons grew larger and spun daster, covering the boy from them. Eventually, the ribbons formed and merged together into a giant bright sphere, and then...the sphere exploded in a bright color spectrum. After the lights faded, the boy was gone.
"Realm shift." Luna whispered.
Their visions became blurry for a moment, and they found themselves back in reality, where the sun was still just a few feet from the horizon.
Celestia walked away instantly to perform her duties, while Luna walked to her room to find the boy again. The boy seemed to be fully awake, and confused too. He completely looked like what he was in his dream, white clothes, eyes the color of sapphire, and black hair. He turned around to see her, where he placed a small smile on his face, and Luna smiled back.
"Welcome to Equestria." Luna greeted.
