WAY Out of place

In the flash of magic I was in a dark chamber, similar to Celestia's but with it's own small differences.The only light was a few dim candles around the room. Some of the rugs and tapestries I could see held different designs, the whole room had a different feeling to it. Less morning and daytime and more of a night feel to it. I took a few steps, holding my hoof out to see where I was going. I could hear my steps, softly echoing clops across the marble. The room seemed almost empty, almost. Something in the back of my mind told me I wasn't alone. I heard another set of steps make their way toward me and I froze in place, hoping who ever it was couldn't see me. If this was a royal chamber then I'd be royally fucked if I was caught, I just knew it.

"Hello." Came a soft feminine voice. It sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. Young yet regal, demanding of respect but also sharing of compassion. So familiar.

I held my breath trying not to make any sort of sound.

"We know you are present, are you not?" It said. The dialect sounded familiar as well, that same element to it. I wracked my mind trying to place it. "Where could you be?" It asked itself.

I moved slowly, easing my hoof down. I felt my hoof make contact with something and relaxed a little know it was a rug and my steps would be quieted. A blue glow came from behind me and I tensed, my eyes widening. "FUCK!"

"Ahh, there you." The voice said from behind. "Come, we have much to discuss over your presence."

I slowly turned around to see who it was. At least a few meters away was a dark blue figure not all that much taller than me. She was slender and wore onyx armor similar to Celestia's, but lacking of any visible runic symbols. Instead of a gem in the center a white crescent moon was depicted. On her flank was a dark splotching that also held near the middle the same crescent moon. She held a look like that of Celestia's in her cyan eyes, of kindness and strength. Set behind her long spiraling horn was a smaller tiara made of the same onyx material. On her hooves were silvery blue glass like slippers. I knew she had to be Luna, but something was off about her, something strange. Her mane, instead of the flowing ethereal night sky holding the stars above it was a still and opaque azure.

I couldn't help but tilt my head to the side at her curiously.

"Is there something the matter?" She asked nervously.

"Uhh." I said scratching a hoof to my own mane.

"Oh this." She said looking at her mane as it hung to the side of her head. "Our mane does this upon the sunrise."

"Huh?"

She sigh in irritation. "Upon the morning our control of the night and connection to our power of the moon dims. When that happens our mane does this. Even Tia's mane did this upon dusk before she...filled in for us."

I raised a brow in curiosity.

"We are the one who have brought thee here for interrogation!" She yelled at me.

"Calm it down oh Princess of the night. Don't get your god damn tail in a knot." I exhaled.

"Our tail is clear of all tangles and imperfections." She said giving me a look of pure disdain.

"That's not what I meant." I sighed.

"Then just what did thou mean?" She asked rhetorically.

"Just calm the fuck down, geez. And I'm the one who get's worked up over things. Shit." I exhaled sitting down.

"We are very much thinking twice about bringing thee here." She huffed.

"Well please, send me back. I didn't exactly want to do this. I mean shit, I would've been fine at home with Twilight." I griped.

"Your sleep, was it sound? Void of dreams?" She asked.

"Yeah?" I said raising a brow.

"And you feel at ease? No discomfort or problems?"

"Nope." I said ignoring the Pegasus leering at me behind her. He started slowly nodding and the grin became a tight lipped smile. A shudder ran up my spine at how creepy it was.

"Good." She said walking away. "Take good care of Twilight, she is a friend."

"Does everyone know about me and Twilight." I mumbled.

"Yes, many." She said from across the room.

With another flash and magic-y sound I was back at the kitchen counter beside Twilight who was finishing up breakfast.

"What I miss?" She asked.

"Nothing." I sighed leaving the counter. "Well that was stupid." I thought to myself. "Why the hell would she bring me all the way there just to ask a pointless question? Why the fuck would she ask whether or not I had a dream?"

"As requested, he did not have any nightmares." Luna said from behind her older sister who looked out from the balcony in the direction of Ponyvill.

"Good, thank you sister." Celestia said without turning. Before Luna could leave though, Celestia did turn to face him. "What did he dream of?"

"It was violent, disgusting, horrifying. Even we were pulled into it. His mind is in a very precarious position. He failed at his quest to protect her...He was angry with himself, spiteful of his actions and what the outcome became. He desired his own life to end as well. It was all that he desired, nothing more, nothing less. We ended it before anything so drastic could happen. He doesn't retain any memory of it, as if it never happened."

"How do you know?" She asked looking down to her.

"We asked."

I sat on the couch Lyra style thinking hard. Kian beside me doing the same while staring off with a relaxed smile, Spike laid beside him, gnawing on a green gem with his free arm behind his head. Opposite me was Twi who was curled next to me reading. It boggled me that both princesses had already talked to me in less than twenty-four hours and I'd already succeeded at being a dick to one of them. "Why do always have to be an asshole to people?"

I shook off the thought and tried to be more productive. "I have a whole day ahead of me and no idea what to do. What to do, what to do."
