A Reformed Evil

Another night to come, another dream to be made, but... something was off. No screaming. No voices. Just darkness. As Daniel made a motion to move, he did with his shoes making a loud echo with each footstep as before long he felt something warm. He looks down and finds that each step he took left a fiery footstep as he yells in terror at his feet on fire. He recoils and tries to put the fire out as he stops and looks at his feet that are not burning at all. He stands up as he smiles a bit at a wicked idea involving his fiery footsteps. He walks over and takes a step as he laughs a bit and starts to run around the place.

As he stops and admires his work as he smirks a bit. Using the fiery footsteps he made out a phrase as he grins at it. Walking around, he takes out small misprints as he thinks about this being a dream as he floats up a bit and laughs at his message. In large fiery footsteps, five words are read through the fire as it reads:

TWILIGHT HAS A LARGE FLANK!!!!!

That got him laughing hard as he enjoys the small amount of pleasure in this as he sees the flames scatter "Does thou think it a joke to make fun of one's flank?" a female voice says. He looks around and sees somepony appear as he is looks at them. They were a tall dark blue mare with horn and wings like Twilight, but.... taller. He looks at her as he sees her fly down "So... you are the dream we cannot enter before" she says as she seems.... displeased.

Daniel looks at her as he chuckles nervously "Okay.... yeah, why not just leave my dream crazy dream alicorn?" he asks.

Luna looks at him "Thee thinks we be a dream?"

"Well this is MY dream and your in MY head so yeah. Now get your wide flank out of my head." he says as he closes his eyes and this to think her away. As he opens them, he sees she is still there as he is confused "What the?" he says as he tries again. He opens his eyes and sees she is closer now "Okay.... so your not a figment of my dream"

"Nay. We are the mare of dreams and of the moon. We are-" she stops as the world starts to shake and a familiar pain seems to return to Daniel as he holds his head. The pain as the voices return, but they seem to be pushing her out. She can't believe the power that is coming as the sky starts to break and turn orange as the voices return. Soon smoke starts to rise as a loud roar comes out and forces the two to wake at the same time.

Daniel rubs his face as he sits in his bed "The hell?" he thinks as he stands up. He walks up and opens the curtains as he gets hit by sunlight before closing the curtains. He hated mornings, but then again he figures it be another Q&A with them, but before he could even throw on a shirt and pants, the door slams open to show Spike. He runs in as he stops and pants as Daniel gets dressed.

As soon as he finishes Spike says "Daniel... Princesses... Coming... More questions" he says as he passes out. Daniel simply puts the young one in his bed and walks out as he knows he is right about the question part, but what was this about princesses? And who was that weird pony that was in his head. He just shakes his head as he walks down the hall hearing the sound of talking as he opens the door "Terribly sorry about yesterday everyone. It was a touchy-" he stops as he looks up and is surprised to see two more alicorns there. One was taller then any other pony in that room, a good eight feet even with a gold and white attire with a golden crown on her head. SHe had white skin and a weird rainbow like main, but nothing like Dash's mane. As Daniel's head turns, his color leaves him as he sees Luna and gasps when she does "You!" they say in unison.

Daniel looks at her "Ever heard of privacy?! It is very rude to just enter anyone's-"

"Anypony's" Pinkie says interrupting him.

"Right, anypony's dream without warning" Daniel says. Luna just looks at him as she was about to say something till a white wing stopped her. As the two looked, they saw the white alicorn smile as she steps forward.

She speaks "A greeting to you being of another world. I am to assume you are this Daniel Gladesfield that my student talks about so much? I will say you are quite different" she says. Her voice sounded motherly, but the annoying glare of Luna didn't do much to help the situation.

Twilight smiles as she holds out some questions "Let's continue from last time she says" Daniel simply sighs as he takes his seat as of course another session. As he looks around, he can tell they all feel uncomfortable about what question to ask because of his.... reaction last time, but as he looks at the two new princesses, he can tell that the one called Luna is greatly unhappy about something.

Luna raises a hand to speak first as Twilight nods. She looks over "We simply must ask thee. Why was it that we could not even enter your dreams the last few days?" she asks. That caught a gasp from everypony and a concerned look from the white alicorn named Celestia and of course Twilight. Luna seems suspicious as Daniel leans back uncomfortably as he looks up.

He sighs a bit "I don't know. Guess because I am from a different world? Look I'm just a human historian not a oneirologist" he says.

Twilight raises a eyebrow "Oneirologist?"

"It means someone who studies dreams Twilight" Daniel says. He looks over "Maybe it just took a bit to get used to something different then a pony?" he asks. Luna just nods as she seems... skeptical still. As that bought him some time, more questions came of stuff like hobbies, education, and of course plans. When he hears of plans he shrugs "Honestly a main plan and a backup plan. The main plan is getting home to my world... granted it sucks compared to this place, it's my home still. If I can't get back, then I'll settle down here and teach the Equestrians, if that's the right term, history of my world and our knowledge of mythical beings" he says. So far that got some smirks and smiles.

Before any more questions are asked, Daniel gets knocked out of his seat by a blast of confetti as he slides and groans "Whoops. Sorry!" he hears as he knows it's Pinkie. He just waves his hand like it's no problem as she bounces over "I wanted us to do a party to say 'Welcome to being the first human in Ponyville' party and to say 'Welcome to Ponyville' AT THE SAME TIME!" she says as that was possibly the only thing he understood before her worlds start to go on a endless, breathless run on. He simply sits up as he is surprised in a few seconds she got a whole party set up as he chuckles and before he could react music started to blare from a music player as the party started.

As he stood up, he had inadvertently been flung around the room, dancing with each pony in some manner. It was mainly a blur though he could tell who was who simply by the dance. As he got spun and into Luna she simply danced slowly and gracefully like it was a ballroom waltz, but with her leading. Her eyes look into his "We will know the truth Mister Gladesfield"

"Please call me Daniel. Mister Gladesfield is my father" he says. She shakes her head as he sees in her eyes that determination as for some reason, he wants her to find out since he didn't know what was happening either in him. As he got spun to dance with Celestia, he tries to keep eye contact, but the height difference was a bit of a problem "Your sister is quite persistent in finding some kind of truth. In all honesty, I hope she finds it. I am saying this so the others may not worry, but I do not know what is going on either in my head" he says as all she does is nod.

After a few good hours it was time for bed as he helps clean up. After the clean up, he helps show everyone except Twilight out of the castle. As he does so, he feels something thwack his rear as he turns around and sees it was Luna's tail as he sees her walk away. He closes the door as he looks down at Spike "Did Luna just smack your rear with her tail?" he asks. Daniel just shrugs as it was night time as he gets to his room for a quick shower. He goes and gets some sleep as he sees nothing, getting a dreamless sleep, the best kind for him.

The bad part was, as he slept, another had a dreamfilled sleep. Nothing but screams, terror and destruction as this creature roared loudly, sending waves of fire to the town torching it down. This being watched onward as the Elements did nothing to the creature as it roared and turned them to ash. Before long the monster looked at the being. The monster was taller then anything the world had faced before, taller then Tirek himself and more menacing. As it looked at the being who is dreaming this, the monster roared with eyes of flame orange and armor black as the night as it turned to face the being. Before any action could be taken, the monster raised almighty claw and brought it down onto the dreaming being. Within the reflection of it's claw, the being saw her face, contorted in terror as she saw her face. As the claw came down, the woman screams in fear as in the real world a guard opens the door. He looks in, dressed in gold as he asks "Princess Celestia! Are you alright?" he asks worried. All the princess did was shake her head and motion him out. She knew the last time such a dream happened, it was when Tirek returned, yet now a new creature was coming. One they never faced before.
