My eyes flew open, realizing we had fallen asleep. I turned my head to look at Darksun, still asleep on my right hoof. Smiling slightly, I turned to look up at the sky. It was nighttime.

"Darksun." I said, turning back to Darksun, and shaking my hoof slightly. I could hear her mumble slightly, and shift around, off of my hoof. I sat up, and started to shake Darksun, in an attempt to wake her up, again. "Hey! Darksun!" I yelled. Once again, a slight mumble escaped Darksun, and shifted back to my side.

"Liam?" She said, yawning loudly. "What's up?" She rubbed her eye's, making it known how tired she was. "How long were we asleep?"

"Look up." following what I said, she immediately looked up at the sky. Her eye's shot open, and she sat up into a sitting position.

"Whoa! We need to get home!" She yelled, not caring about how loud she was being. She rolled over onto her hooves, trotted over to the entrance, making sure to stop and wait for me. "Come on, Liam!"

"Coming!" I yelled back, and did the same, trotting up to Darksun.

"We're in big trouble, now." She said, passing through the tree's leading to the path. After I pass through the trees, I noticed a figure on the other end of the garden, and looked back. Nothing. 'My head is possibly playing tricks on me' I thought. "Come on!" Darksun yelled, again.

"Huh! Oh, right." I ran towards Darksun, and we continued to run, trying to head back home in Ponyville.


"Man, how far are we from Ponyville?" Darksun asked, exhausted from all the running. To tell the truth, I was wondering this myself. We should have reached it by now. So, why haven't we?

"I don't know, but we can't just stand here." I said, turning my head to look at Darksun. "We have to keep going." All she did in response was nod tiredly.

"Come on, Liam." A voice said, echoing through the forest. Darksun and me turned around, as I recognizing the voice. It was that hooded pony, again. "Just give up. You're not leaving this forest."

"And, why is that?" I yelled back. He chuckled, turned to Darksun.

"Because, you're with her." He turned back to me, and stared. This guy was really starting to piss me off, now. His monotone voice was quiet and relaxed, as if he knew everything that would happen.

"And, what do you expect? Me to just leave her?" I responded, yelling slightly. Everything about this guy made me wants to just sock him in the jaw. I turned to Darksun, and back this hood pony, giving him a glare. "I would never do that."

"As expected." He said, chuckling, again. I swear if he chuckles one more time. "I thought that would be your answer. So, I went ahead, and changed that." His head slowly turned to face Darksun. "Besides, you can be with someone if they're not alive." I stepped in front of Darksun in a protective position. I'm not going to lose her again.

All he did was chuckle more, looked at me with a satisfied look. "That's not going to change a thing, Liam." Just as he said that, a dark void opened up behind him, and started to trot backwards Into it. "Look at your precious Darksun now, Liam."

"L-Liam!" Darksun yelled. I turned around quickly, and gasped. There were little strands of particles flying into the air around her. Wait. Not just around her.

She turned from looking at herself, and looked into my eye's, tears starting to flow from hers. The particles were coming from her. Just than, the world around us started to crack, and fall apart, only to leave us in a bright white plane of nothing. Just as the ground us started to collapse, she reached her hoof out to me.

"Darksun!" I yelled, running to Darksun, trying to grab her hoof, and pull her away from the ledge. I was too late. The ground under her gave way, and she fell back, the particles still flying off her. I jumped off the ledge after her, still attempting to reach her. "I'm not going to let you go!" Now, I was getting closer to her, nearly reaching her extended hoof.

"I promise." I said, the wind around us muting my voice slightly, but she managed to hear me, smiling in return. Now, my hoof was around 2 feet from hers, filling me with some hope that I might save her. That hope was short lived, though. With some excitement, I swung my hoof at hers in my last attempt to grab it, but I was too late, once again. I flew backwards, away from Darksun, as she faded away into dust, leaving me alone in this void.

"D-Darksun?" I whispered. I didn't know how to react, anymore. The tears were already forming in my eyes with each passing second of her not being there. I just watched my best friend fade away into dust, and vanish in front of me. "Darksun!" I yelled one last time.

The tears in my eyes were flowing out, now. I couldn't stop them anymore. I lowered my head, and let the wind carry me. The Weight of my head pulls the front half of my body down, falling headfirst into the great white abyss, below. I opened my eyes one last time.

Right below me was a huge body of water. I closed my eye's and continued to fall. I landed in the water, feeling it go around me, and pull me up, as I started to drift away into unconsciousness.
