Starlight Solace
Prologue II: Scaring Blue and the Quest for the Sapphire Star
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Overseer and Shadestar had finally awoken the Dark Star, but... without the Shadow Heart combined with it, that star had no dark magic! This was good news for the Blues. Those three sisters, even though they're all apart from one another, are perfectly safe... for now! The only Blue family member who even knew about how evil the evil powers of darkness were was Sky Blue, the middle child. Her two sisters were completely in the dark, but... Lucian Flash lit up the area they were in with his horn.
"I love you." Geno said to Sky, finally being able to see her.
"I know." Sky replied in a voice that made it clear to all three of her hero friends who were awake that she loved them all, but none more than herself. She then turned to Lucian. "Thanks for the light, Luce!"
"Finally," Lucian began to respond, "thou callest me by a name of which we approve!"
"Will you give it a rest, you two?" Reznor replied. "I mean, you three? Zillie's trying to sleep!"
It was true. The four of them, Sky last, saw the young zebra filly resting in a daisy patch. And not just any: This was the same daisy patch into which Sky fell before the quest started! (Only Sky and Rez knew this, but... if she were awake, Zillie would have noticed.) "We will try to read her dreams!" Lucian decreed.
"NOT SO LOUD!!!!" Sky, Rez, and Geno exclaimed at the top of their lungs. (Well Geno, as a doll, didn't have lungs, but... you get the idea) They didn't even notice their own hypocrisy, which was something they wouldn't have noticed even in broad daylight.
"Wait a minute..." Sky said, as if preparing to ask Lucian a question. "What do you mean... 'read' her dreams? Do you mean like... a Dreamwalker? A pony who can-"
"Yea, verily, Miss Blue." Lucian said to Sky, interrupting her. "A Dreamwalker is a creature who can enter another creature's dreams. We have learned from our sister Aurora, who hath learned from her mentor, Princess Luna... who needs our help protecting the Dreamscape! We will need thy company, Sky. As well as that of our entire quest party. Thou shalt live through this endeavour, friends of ours, for if thou diest in the Dreamscape, thou wakest up in reality!"
"But..." Sky interjected, "how do we come with you? Is your magic powerful enough for all four of us to be Dreamwalkers?"
"Yea, Madamoiselle Bleu!" Lucian exclaimed, somehow miraculously not waking Zillie. "Allons-y!"
"That's what I was gonna say!" Sky exclaimed, also not waking Zillie. "Well... let's get this show on the road!"
"That's MY catchphrase!" Geno exclaimed. "Whatever." He turned to Sky, who had a worried look on her face. "May the stars forever light our path!"
That's not very reassuring. Sky thought. When will I see my Flamie again? I need to tell him I love him before it's too late! Sky thought to herself. She knew for a fact that dreaming made her, as well as all other creatures, much more powerful. Maybe I can make my own dream images appear in somepony else's dreams, like the Megadream? She remembered being invisible in that dream, which was more than a few weeks ago. I definitely hope so... For all our sakes!
"Somniambuli!" Lucian exclaimed, for that was the Dreamwalking spell. The five of them, including Zillie, the sleeping zebra filly, all flashed with a golden flame coloured aura. Then, all of them except Zillie found themselves on top of a starlit path: The path from Reality to the Dreamscape!
After all four of them were on that path, Lucian told them all "Leap of Faaaaaiiith!" and they did. They (including Lucian, of course) jumped off the stars and into an unfamiliar area. That area was where Zillie went every single time she dreamed. But now, for the first time ever, she had Dreamwalkers entering her dream to protect her! Could the five of them, finally all united, find the missing Hearts of Aurora and defeat Shadestar and this wicked Overseer? Or would those two destroy the universe according to their shared evil plan?
