Long Forgotten History: Book One, Return of the Crystal King

                          RAINBOW DASH

                   When I woke up the sun was setting, I stood up and looked around and saw the pony that I had previously pranked. He turned to me and I noticed that he had blue eyes, inwardly I breathed a sigh of relief, so it was all just a bad dream, probably hit my head when I was thrown out of tornado. "I'm very sorry." I said " I didn't mean for the tornado to hurt you." Then to my shock he started laughing and laughing, tears of laughter flew about and suddenly I had the urge to slowly back away.

                  After the laughter finally died down he said "You're sorry?" I put you through your personal hell and you think you should be sorry for accidentally sending a tornado at me?"

                 "Wait..." I said shaking my head "You mean that wasn't just some awful nightmare?" That remark prompted him to erupt into another fit of laughter.

                "Yes." He said still laughing "A nightmare custom tailored to be your worst fear, no I'm afraid that was no dream."

                "Then did you do it?" I said

                He sighed and bowed his head "when you sent the tornado at me I lost all control and lashed out at whoever was close, and I instinctively used a nightmare curse." I'm sor, sor, blegh, whats the word?"

                "Sorry?"

                "Yes that."

                "anyways are you okay?" You don't seem well, like you went through a nightmare."

                He looked at me sadly, like he had had his dreams crushed "Usually when someone hears that I put them through that they run away screaming."

               "Well im not most people, but in all honesty i'm shaken, and you look like you're shaken up too."

               "Since you have been so kind as to not denounce me as a monster, I'll tell you that whenever I use a speel without the necessary magic, I get backlash in the form of whatever spell I used."

               "So... you got hit with that spell too?"

               "Yes, and I am sorry for what I did." Then he stumbled and almost fell

               "You need help!" I said starting to walk forward, but fell, I could barely move my legs.

               He looked at me saying "it looks like we both do, where's the nearest doctor?

               "The nearest doctor is too far, but I know a friend who's cottage is nearby, it may be close enough to make it." She's probably knows enough to help us out while she gets a real doctor."

              "Alright." He said "lean on me."

              "Nah." I said "you'll need to lean on me, before we both collasped. We slowly got up, relying on each other for support.

              "It looks like we both need help, is there a doctor nearby?"

              "Not one close enough, but I know someone who is close enough that we might make it without blacking out again."

              "Okay then, on my mark step... step."

              Then I joined in, "Step, step, step, step." Slowly making progress towards Fluttershy's cottage

                                 FLUTTERSHY

              Humming a song to myself as I watered my plants and got ready for the night, I heard a thump on my door right before I went to sleep. "Who's there?" I said as I slowly opened my door.

              "Help." Rainbow Dash said before fainting.

              "Oh dear!" You need help!" I said pulling them in I'll get a doctor." I said flying out to town. What was going on here?

              "Hello? Are you awake?" I said.

              "Ugghhhhh... my head hurts." Rainbow Dash said.

              I breathed a sigh of relief, she had been out for awhile and despite the other pony saying that it would be fine I had started to worry. "Thank Celestia your okay now... what happened to you?"

              "An accident, that's all." She said with suspicious uncertainty, "where am I?"

              "You're in a hospital." the doctor said walking in, "where your 'accident' caused severe trauma to both you and the other pony over there." But you recovered quite quickly and should be able to leave in a few hours, until then please relax and don't steal any books.

                          SOMBRA

                Describe this in a word? "Whoops." If twilight finds out I cast that spell on Rainbow Dash i'm mincemeat! All she needs is an excuse to blow me off the map, luckily Rainbow Dash hasn't spilled the beans, but who knows what she'll do get her to crack! I've got to find a way to-

                "sir?" Are you okay, you're sweating." I looked around and saw the doctor staring at me.

                "Just a fever, I'm okay."

                "Alright." he said as he walked out of the room, "Get well soon."

                I sighed, well there's nothing I can do now no sense spilling over cried milk, but the nightmare that I got from the backlash wasn't right. I had experienced a nightmare curse before and had lived through it coming to reality, but this... this was different, it was like some static had interfered with it, like it was in between two visions. I just couldn't put my finger on it. I raised my hoofs up exasperation, then screaming in pain, as if someone had taken a hot knife  and shoved through my leg. I looked around for the attacker before seeing that it was in a cast."Ohhhhhhh." I said before blacking out to sudden pain.
