Equestria: New Arrivals
Chapter 4: The Being Within (Re-Written)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA being that is made of darkness and chaos appears,
This is the voice that I've heard in my dreams
I wake up in Princess Luna's room. I look around myself and see Luna's front leg around my belly, my heart was beating fast now. I turn my head around to see her still asleep and smiling, I just turn back around and fall back to sleep.
I was then awaken by Luna saying "Hey Avery, It's time to get up.".
I open my eyes to she her standing at the bed side.
I look at her smiling and say "Good morning".
Luna smiles at me and says "Come on, it's time we go see my sister.".
I got out of the bed and stumbled a bit, but I remained standing. Luna gives my bag to me and puts it around my neck. I walk beside Luna as we head to see Princess Celestia.
Luna says to me "You know you're really quiet. Are you sure you don't have something on your mind?".
I look at her and say "I do, but I don't want to say. It'll be really embarrassing for me.".
Luna then says "I understand, but you can tell me anything anytime if you need. Just remember that.".
We soon arrive at Princess Celestia's throne, Twilight and the others were already there talking to the Princess.
Luna then says when we enter "We're here.".
Everyone looks over to us and Twilight then says "Ah ha, there you are. So how did your sleep go?".
I didn't say anything but Luna says "It went well, Avery is really soft.".
Princess Celestia then says with a little smug "Oh? Why do you say that?".
Luna then says "Well, I apparently hugged him like a stuffed toy while asleep. I was quite surprised that I was hugging him, but at the same time it felt really good.".
Princess Celestia then says "Well, we'll talk about that later, right now we need to discuss about Avery's vision.".
Luna then says "Right. Well go on Avery, tell us what you saw.".
I told everyone what I saw in the vision and what the voice said.
Princess Celestia says "It said that it would be like that today? Did it say when?".
I say "No, it didn't. I was back at Twilight's after that.".
Princess Celestia was silent and Twilight said "Did you see what this voice looked like? Other than the black cloud you said?".
I reply "No, it did say that I was a tough one to copy. I wonder what it meant by that.".
Rainbow then says "What ever it meant, we've got to be ready for when it shows up!".
After a while of answering questions about my vision I began to feel dizzy and stumbled around.
Princess Celestia said with a worried tone "Avery? Are you alright?".
I then say "I-I don't know, I feel like I'm going to throw up..." I started to lower my head a little.
Twilight then says "Avery don't do it here!".
I opened my mouth and a trial of black smoke came out. The smoke started to swirl around me, I couldn't see anything. Then the smoke went up into the air and came back down between Princess Celestia and myself. The smoke started to change shape and size, within a few minutes a dark figure stood there. The figure had a dark grey coat that looked almost black, a sharp horn, dragon wings, and it wore two bracelets with a black stone on each leg. It opened its eyes and were silvery and had slit pupils. It looked almost exactly like me only it had a black mane and tail.
It moved its neck around and I could hear it popping with every turn it made.
It finally said "Ahhh. It's good to be free".
Princess Celestia says "Who are you? Why were you inside Avery?"
Rainbow added "And what exactly....are you?".
The figure then looked around and said "My name is Despair. I was inside Avery for I thought his body would make a good form for me. And you ask what I am, I am made of Disharmony and Chaos. I come from a different universe, in that universe I was called the 'Demon of Chaos and Destruction'. Quite a boring title if I say so myself.".
I then say with little breath "Y-You were the voice in my dreams? The one that showed me that vision?".
Despair then said "Yes, I was the voice and yes I did show you that vision. Speaking of that" he summons a sword hilt that looked like mine and a very long black blade came out of it.
He continued speaking "It's time for me to create a world suited for the villains of this universe." he swiped the blade at all of us and a huge gust of wind came from it.
The wind was very strong and blew me into the wall, hitting my head, I was knocked out cold.
I wake up with the sounds of Twilight and the others trying to wake me up. I look around seeing everyone circled around me.
Luna says when she sees me awake "Avery! Are you alright?".
I sit up and rub my head where it hit saying "Y-Yeah, just a little bump here.".
Princess Celestia says "Avery, Despair has been going around cutting everything to dust!".
Luna says with an angry tone "He cut my room clean off of the palace!".
I then say "Is there some way that we could stop him from destroying all of Equestria?".
Twilight then said "Yes! The Elements of Harmony! They could stop him!".
Princess Celestia then says "Then lets go, we've no time to waste!".
Princess Celestia then quickly galloped past all of us, Twilight and the others followed. Luna stayed behind to help me get there.
When Luna and I get to where the others were going we see that only Princess Celestia was there.
I ask "Where are Twilight and the others?".
Princess Celestia says "They went to retrieve the Elements of Harmony from the Everfree forest. Despair said a riddle and Twilight said that they were there.".
I then say "Could I hear the riddle?".
Princess Celestia then says "Of course, he said".
I have hid your little Elements of Harmony, find them you may for I shall see. They are in a place full of timber and beasts, once you enter you'll have trouble finding a way to be released
When I heard the last part I said "Wait! They're going to the Everfree? They may never come back from there!!".
Princess Celestia looked at me in shock and said "Oh no...that is not good. Go and warn them before they enter the forest!".
I nod my head and turn around quickly, but the pain from the hit on my head was not going away and I lowered it.
Luna then says "Avery, let me come with you so that you'll be able to get there. That 'bump' seems to be more than you can handle.".
I just nod my head and luna helps me to try to get to Twilight and the others before they go into the Everfree forest.
