By: Big Odie

Authors Notes- Hello fellow readers :D, I am new to writing but I will try my best to provide a great story for you all. Also this chapter is describing the character, Odie so it's in his veiw, next ones aren't

Equestria. The world where everything is peaceful. How is it that there is no evil in Equestria? Well, let me tell you the old weathering tale of The Nightmare. No not the creature that possessed Princess Luna. That was only the subconscious off spring of this creature. The true Nightmare is a creature that was created along with Equestria, to hold all of the evil and unkindness that Equestria would of had. No pony knows why this happened, some say it was the will of the world, others say it wanted to be its own entity, away from all the kind and peacefulness that Equestria has and is.

The Nightmare did not get its wish for it was bound to the world as they were created together. When the nightmare was born it waded through the world waiting for a being to control. Soon after ponies started to appear, the nightmare waited for the right time to cause the most chaos that was all it wanted, to bring hell to the world it was forever shackled to. The Nightmare went from pony to pony, trying to disturb the peace within civilization. It took hold of ponies it saw fit. After a short while, the townsfolk caught on to what was happening, and exiled the ponies that were corrupted.

This went on for centuries, until the two princesses came to rule Equestria; the townsfolk went to them pleading to vanquish the Nightmare. They looked everywhere for it, but while they thought it was hiding, it was waiting. When they found it, it was in an old dying stallion, they saw it as harmless in its current state, but right then it dispelled itself from the old stallion and went for the one thing it wanted, power.

The Nightmare lunged for the most powerful being in Equestria, Princess Celestia, but Princess Luna through herself in front o her older sister. The only way Princess Celestia could save her younger sister was to banish her to the moon until she found the power necessary to destroy the Nightmare. And you know the part to where a little mare finds the power of friendship and uses it to "relocate" the Nightmare for that is what it did; it relocated to the being that it came from the real Nightmare. What controlled princess Luna was only a small fraction of the true Nightmare. After Princess Celestia sent her sister to the moon, it went to look for a suitable body to wait for the return of its other half.

The dawn after the nightmare's offspring is back

I've had this feeling of “darkness" inside of me ever since I could remember. My name is Odie, but everyone calls me Big Odie due to my size compared to my age. I'm a brown unicorn, with a Light green mane. I have just never felt right, I have this feeling of darkness that makes me seem different from all the other ponies.It doesn't seem like anypony else is like this, so that’s way I tend to stay away from any pony, I usually walk around or sit under a tree drawing. I am a orphan in the village. I was dropped off when I was just 2 months old. They put me in a small shed that i now call my home. They knew I wasn't normal because I would never play or do anything, I'd just sit there. They thought I was brain dead until they gave me a sketch book and some pencils. Then they saw the very first drawing I did, to them it looked like a horrific scene but I could see past the illusion. The drawings were my other side trying to break free, I never let it. Now as i grow, I'm able to control the "urges" for what it wants.

As I grow I feel it growing with me, I think others are noticing it too.  I was thinking about leaving, it's not like anypony would care. As I'm pondering leaving or not, it starts to rain. I like the rain, it's dark and the sound feels like an echo going through my soul.  I'm currently sitting under the bridge out of town and I'm drawing the stream going out of the village. Times like this allow me to unwind and start to feel normal. I feel myself relax, and I slip into a deep slumber.

                                    =========================

" mmaanghh"

" nnnnghhhg"

" Baghh, what the hell was that?" I awake, under the bridge with the moon high in the sky.

"I just woke up from a ... Nightmare? ... I'm almost a freakin grownup and I just had a nightmare?!? What the hell." I say unhappy about what just happened, " I better get back home before anypony notices."

As I'm walking back, I have this sinking feeling that something is aloof. So i decide to check in on the only person who i actually talk too, Ms. Sunlight, my next door neighbor. I get to her house and slowly knock on the door, No Anwser. "Damn," I slowly open the door, I slowly turn around and, it's as if the world stops. Right in front of me is Ms. Sunlight, on the floor unconscious.

I'm breathless. I can’t comprehend what's in front of me, “I, I ... no ... I'm still dreaming. I have to be!  the fact of the matter is I just had a nightmare of seeing every pony die when they looked at me, but I woke up before I went into Ms. Sunlight's house " I slowly sit down to process what's happening. There's only one way to figure this out, I have to see if anypony else is alive.

I dash out of the house, running to the next house; I stop at the door, composing myself for the inevitable. I slowly knock, but right as my hoof hits the door the door opens due to the force of my pound. I peer into the room, and I'm devastated with what I see. “there dead, every pony ... Is ... Dead"

"I don't understand any of this. I don't know what to do, Damn! I can't think straight. I have to clear my head, get far away from here, that's all I need to do is clear my head and figure out what the hell is wrong with me."

                              =========================

I've been walking around for about 3 days now. It's nighttime and cold as hell. I see a few city lights up ahead, as I get closer it starts to pour down like some pony hit a nimbus right up the ass. I'm growing more tired by the millimeter. As I walk through to the centre of the town I collapse from exhaustion and starvation. Just before I pass out I hear a mare's voice call out

"Ohh my... Are yo... Quick spike open the door!"

I feel myself being picked up by an aura, then blackness.
