The Tale of DreamMist, the Alicorn of Dreams
Long ago, in the old times of Equestria, there were three alicorns, all three wielding great power and kindness. Two of the alicorns were sisters, the eldest sister was named Celestia, while the younger sister was named Luna. Celestia raised the sun, while Luna raised the moon. The third alicorn was named DreamMist. She was the alicorn of dreams. She would spread good dreams to all of the inhabitants of Equestria, from ponies to the smallest animal, to the biggest dragons. Celestia and Luna were princesses, who ruled the land and helped maintain the harmony. Unlike them, DreamMist was not a princess. she did not have a castle or palace, she did not have guards, or any treasures. She instead preferred to live deep within the forest, where it was filled with peace and quite. With the help of some of the guards, they built a small stone house. Despite it being the most unusual house, she would rather not destroy the trees, for they were homes for the woodland creatures, for they were great company to her.
Every night, when Celestia had lowered the sun, and Luna had raised the moon and stars, DreamMist would come out to do her job. That job was to spread good dreams to everyone, so they could get a good night sleep, and wake up happy and filled with energy. She would fly from her peaceful home and fly all over Equestria, leaving a golden, shimmering mist behind. This became to be known as dream mist. When it was around, all the restless ponies and animals would begin to feel drowsy and would fall asleep right when their heads touched their soft pillows, where they will be met with happy and fun dreams. It would be the same routine every night. The sisters would raise the moon and lower the sun, and DreamMist would spread the mist throughout Equestria.
One day, something strange happened. When it was time for the sun to rise, the moon stayed. All the ponies and animals were already up, and began to worry and panic when they still saw the moon out when the sun was supposed to be up.
This was known to be the tragic time, when Princess Luna had transformed into the beast known as Nightmare Moon, who wished to engulf all of Equestria in eternal night. When the panic began, DreamMist began to grow weak. Fear, it was her biggest weakness. She would grow stronger when they ponies were filled with happiness and joy, and would grow weaker when the ponies felt fear or gloom. This wasn't the first time she grew weak, but this time it was stronger than ever. She had never grew so weak throughout her lifetime.
Even after Princess Celestia did what had to be done, and banished her beloved sister to the moon, DreamMist still grew weak.
Every night, she would be more late than the last night, due to her weakness. It continued on for one whole moon, until one night, she never came. The ponies and animals did not see her mist, had no dreams, and some had not even gotten any sleep.
The ponies had confronted the princess about DreamMist's absence, so she tried to contact her. Though, she never responded, when the same events would carry on for the next few days, she finally sent a search party. Both made with guards and ponies. The guards were sent to the forest where DreamMist lived, while the ponies looked from town to town, hoping to somehow find her. The search had lasted for two whole moons, until it was given up and the search ended. Times of gloom rained over the inhabitants of Equestria, lasting for five moons.
Then one day, ponies began to have dreams again. They though that she had returned, but there was still no trace of the mist. This baffled many of the citizens, for they thought only she can grant dreams. After two moons, everything went back to normal. The ponies and animals got sleep, along with dreams. After that event, ponies began to forget about DreamMist, to one point where some couldn't even remember her. She had helped greatly in the land of Equestria, doing what she always loved to do. To make everyone happy.
Even though she has been forgotten and had disappeared with no trace, she will always be alive. Alive in every pony's dream, and in every animal's dream. There, she will always be remembered. Remembered as the alicorn of dreams.

Finding the Ruins and the Tale
Hello everyone,my name is FireSong, but just call me Flara. I am a pegasus from Canterlot who loves to discover and learn new things, and it was these things about me that lead me to find this tale. I was wondering around Canterlot, I had nothing to do at the time, and nothing new to discover. Yes, I was suffering boredom.
Though, I started to hear some of the ponies talking about a new found ruins deep within the forest. I asked some ponies about it, some said the rumors were true, some said it wasn't. I just couldn't help it! I tried asking ponies if they knew where it could be located, not knowing that I was actually going to look for the ruins itself. They just told me it was deep within the forest, and it would be a miracle if someone found it. I took the challenge, my curiosity taking over me. I packed up some things I may need and flew towards the forest.
After a few hours of flying, I was about to just turn back, thinking that it was just some silly rumor a pony started. That was, until I saw a clearing with what looked like and old house, made of stone? Of course I had to land and take a look at it! I mean, it's not everyday you see a very old looking house in the middle of the forest made of stone. There wasn't really anything in the house, it seemed as if everything was taken. Though, there were a few things left behind, I saw a small pack with a notebook, water, food, and other things you would have needed to travel this far. I guess I wasn't the first pony to come down here. Though, the book seemed something that would have been interesting to read, so I picked it up and opened it. A bunch of papers just fell out of the book, and all that was left was a few pages, the title saying The Tale of DreamMist, the Alicorn of DreamsThis my friends, is how I found the tale itself. Let me just say, that it blew my mind, so here you go, the Tale of DreamMist, the alicorn of dreams
