Power of dream
Awoken
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhere am I? My vision was having spasms as my eyes began to open once again in a long time, showing me details of a roof. I felt a soft mattress on my back, even softer than the one I was on. My senses returned to me, sending me a vast amount of feelings. I felt warm and very comfortable, the air smelled fresh, like a garden and little bit of a bakery. I slowly stood up and began to look around. The room was huge, big enough for a party, there was a mirror on one side of a wall and the bed was a mix of purple and blue, and big enough for more than two people, on the other side was a balcony, showing a town below. My eye spasms stopped and everything came to focus. I heard footsteps approaching from behind me and I turned around. It was the same blue horse from my dreams, how was this possible?! No living creature has ever been able to go into another person's dream! I gave her a smile to calm my nerves, and she smiled back at me.
"Welcome to Equestria." she introduced me to her world.
I opened my mouth but no words came...I guess it's been a long time since I used my actual voice.
"T-thank you f-for...uh...helping m-me." I praticed.
"It's alright." she took my praise.
"B-but I...was w-wondering...what's y-your name?" was my fist question I spoke in a long time.
"My name is Luna, and my sister is Celestia." she replied.
Finally, I figured out how to talk by observing how Luna speaks, and began talking.
"Is it alright if I can go out now?" I asked.
Luna nodded.
I hopped off the bed and my face met the cold floor, leaving a bruise on my face.
"Oh my, are you alright?" Luna trotted over to me as I rub my face.
"Yeah...I'm fine, it's just that I can't exactly remember how to walk." I managed to stand up and put my arm around her body, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
"Would you like me to help you get around?" Luna offered.
I nodded slowly, and she smiled faintly. Luna trotted slowly to the door, where I held her to help me guide my way through.
We crossed over hallways and rooms, as Luna pointed out what is what. My awakening mind was able to process everything she said. Soon, we made a beeline to a giant door embroidered with silver and gold. Luna opened the door with a dark blue glow that came from her horn, and it showed me the biggest room in the world. The room was bustling with activity, with horses scrambling all around the vast place. On the walls were what seemed to be glass murals, with different pictures, representing what might be this world's history. In the middle of the room was a velvet red carpet leading to a throne, where Luna's sister was sitting on, looking high and mighty.
But it seems that my presence has disturbed some of the horses. They stopped their daily chores and boggled at me with their unusually huge eyes. A ball of nervousness developed inside me, so I hid behind Luna with one eye poking out from behind. She seemed to notice my actions and chuckled softly.
"Don't worry, all the ponies here will get used to you eventually." Luna tried to cheer me up.
I don't know exactly about that statement, but it's worth a shot. I also noted that these horses are actually ponies.
Luna slowly walked over to her sister, eyeing at a few of her subjects as they stared at the boy. Some of the gaurds took notice of the boy, a few tried to approach him...but Luna was beside the boy, so they understood that everything is taken care of.
Celestia noticed of the boy next to her sister, who seemed to be hiding from the other ponies.
"Is that the creature you were talking about?" a voice asked.
Celestia forgot that her number one student was next to her. She turned around and gave a warm smile.
"Yes, there he is." Celestia pointed to the boy.
"It's a he?!" Twilight gawked loudly.
The boy suddenly shrank behind Luna. Twilight realized what she did and looked away and made a little whistling tune. Luna was next to her sister, including the boy, who seemed to find more courage and decided to look a little more visible. But Twilight couldn't contain her curiosity over him, because the moment he stopped hiding behind Luna, she pounced right in front of him and he jumped back in suprise.
"What's your name?" was the first thing she asked.
The boy was about to open his mouth, but it seemed that Celestia was gonna answer for him.
"He doesn't have a name."
Before the conversation ended, Twilight gave another question.
"Then why don't we name him?"
The two sister looked at eachother, then at the boy, then at Twilight. After another round of seconds, they agreed. Twilight clapped her hooves excitedly as she immediately began brainstorming.
"How did you find him?" Twilight asked Luna.
"We found him in his dream, in a coma that he was in for twelve years." Luna explained.
After a few minutes, Twilight inhaled randomly and began to talk about her decisions.
"How about, Coma?" Twilight began her list of names.
The boy gave and expression that said are you f***ing serious?
After a few more hilarious, and slightly offensive names, Luna thought of the perfect name for the boy.
"How about Dream?" she brainstormed.
The three ponies gave nods to the name Luna made up and a few murmurs of agreement.
"Then it's settled, from now on...you will be known as Dream." Celestia announced the name to the boy.
The boy smiled as he accepted his new name...and at the same time, a new destiny.
