White Hawk's Fate

Dream logs 1:

Flight Of The Hawk

I was soaring over Equestria, parts of it I've never even seen! A city that reminded me of Manhattan, a city in the clouds, and a city on the mountain side with a palace made of marble of gold. I was amazingly high in the sky, I could see hundreds of miles in any direction. He was heading for the palace, getting closer he could see more details. It was beautiful! The architecture looked greek unlike the city around it which looked more medieval.

I saw light's on in the palace, I flew towards the lights when I saw two shadows. One was smaller then the other, both their manes and tail flowed in a non existent breeze. I looked below myself when he heard a noise. It was a unicorn gasping as she saw the giant white hawk in the sky. I loved the feeling of wind beneath my wings as I beat my wings up and down. As I got closer to the window in which I could actually see the figures through I could hear snippets of their conversation.

The tall mare with the multi colored mane and white coat said. "He has been acting strangely lately sister."

The short mare with a semi transparent mane with what look like stars and dark blue coat said. "How so sister?"

"He hasn't been sleeping the past few nights, I have often found him staring out his window and towards Ponyville."

"That is peculiar, do you suspect he's been up to anything?"

"Innocent until proven guilty I suppose, but he's been doing this ever since there was an anomaly above the Everfree forest."

"How long ago was that sister?"

"This would be the fifth night since it happened."

"I see, sister would you mind closing the window? It's awfully cold this evening."

"Ok sister.... Oh what a magnificent creature!" The white mare was looking at me in awe.

"He is rather large isn't he? Why he is bigger than the average pony!" The dark blue mare sounded only slightly more awed then the first.

"He looks like one of the ancient nature spirits." The white mare said.

Nature spirits? This place keeps getting both weirder and cheesier!

"But if this is true then humans will..." The dark blue mare was interrupted.

"Yes Luna human's will start transform into the ancient beasts which once terrified our ponies." The white mare said gravely.

"What can we do to stop this Celestia?" Luna asked extremely worried.

"We can do absolutely nothing stop this Luna, these spirits awaken the sleeping beasts, they are meant to destroy them. I knew this was coming for quite some time now sister, have you not noticed humans' changing behavior in the past month?" Luna only shook her head. "Well now that the first spirit is awakened the humans will begin to transform now, it will happen slowly at first but then it will began to happen faster humans will be transforming in groups! It will start happening around the spirit first, but once three of the seven spirits are awake then it will happen all over Equestria." Celestia finished gravely. "Go spirit you are our only hope unite with the other six. I wish you good luck." I cocked my head to the side being confused as hell.

This has to be a dream doesn't it? I mean come on I am no spirit. I am a human. I then thought of what Discord said at dinner that evening. It basically went that sometimes fate will give us clues, and if we follow those clues we will easily find our own fate. It was fate that brought me to Equestria. No Discord brought you here after he killed you, but still in the afterlife what do I have to lose?

"What are you waiting for spirit?" I was snapped out of my thoughts by Luna. I looked at her for a moment before I flew off. Where I was heading, I had no idea. I just let my wings carry me away to where ever they wanted to. I found myself heading in the direction of ponyville. I was pondering everything I just heard. How could it even be possible for me to be a nature spirit? For all my life I have just been normal human Gavin. My thought's carried me until I reached Fluttershys' cottage. I hovered a few feet from the window shocked by what I saw.

Fluttershy was standing by my bed. It looked like she had just been crying for at least an hour. I could see the clock through the window, it was 3:00 A.M. In Fluttershys' hoof she was holding a broken collar. What happened? Was this really a dream? If this wasn't a dream when did I transform? Did ever fall asleep at all, if I did in fact fall asleep when did I wake up? Did Fluttershy see me transform? These questions and so many more popped into my head as I kept hovering outside the window.

"Where are you Gavin?" I heard her whimper. "Why did you leave? How did you break your collar?" She asked after a hiccup. I couldn't stand to see her like this anymore. I flew into the window, the noise of my flapping wings made her look up to see what was going on. Her eyes widened when she looked and saw me. "W-hat" Her voice broke a little bit as I could see a new wave of tears begin to stream down her cheeks. After I wiped one of her cheeks I bent down and gently nuzzled it. She looked up at me and said thanks. "Huh, Gavin leaves in the middle of the night and a giant white hawk comes in the middle of the night." She said obviously trying to make it sound like a joke. A shiver ran down my body as I felt the wing I had wrapped around Fluttershy change back into an arm. My eyes widened when I saw it, my energy began to quickly drain away. I got so tired I couldn't keep my head, so i laid it down on Fluttershys' shoulder. She looked over at my recent wing that now was almost completely back to being an arm. She gasped, and that gasp was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
