Existential Secrets

by Black Hailstorm
Hailstorm has spent his entire life living like any normal human, until 6+ months after his 18th birthday where he begins having dreams. Every time he raises the issue he is ignored or given vague answers, but the truth could lie beyond that mirror.


A thousand years ago a small group of humans lead by a man known as Chief Kaliver or Silver Caliber inadvertently stumble into the world of Equestria. In his attempt to escape his old enemy and all the chaos and pain of the human world,Caliber ends up leading his friends and family into the end of another battle between two alicorns. As Caliber slowly makes his way out of the river that transported them to the world of Equestria, they all become a witness to the banishment and sealing of Princess Luna in the moon. Another surprise soon arrives with Vindictive and his minions following Caliber and co. into the now ruined castle of two sisters.

A thousand years later, now the present time a direct descendant of Silver Caliber is on earth and has spent most of his life living a normal human life, however this all changes 6 or so months after his 18th birthday, where he begins to have these strange dreams. Dreams of an alternate universe consisting of sentient unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies. In these dreams he witness a unicorn called Twilight Sparkle and her friends face many challenges, and eventually he sees Twilight reach her accession to royalty on her own.

Yet at the same time he seems to have memories that seem to be completely unrelated to the maine 6 and their adventures. These dreams are of a alicorn emerging out of the river and the banishment of Princess Luna. As the weeks slowly turn into months, the dreams or even images are starting to become more frequent and no longer filled Hailstorm with the same apathy he had before, they have begun to take their toll on him.

No matter how many times he asks his family they refuse to tell him anything, always pushing his questions aside stating "It was just a dream" but he knows that there's more to it. Every few months a mirror that was given to his ancestors is put in their basement and since childhood no one both in or outside of the family has been allowed to touch it except the elders. What is it they refuse to tell him? Does that mirror lead to another world? And what don't they want him to know?
