Random Life (Book Thing 1)

-Dream-

“Ow, my head feels like it got hit by a fucking semi.” I asy to myself, I look around and see that I’m in a pure black hallway. Though on either side there were windows, all labeled Memories. “Where the hell am i?” I asked myself, only to be answered by silence. I got up, albeit slowly, and walked up to one of the windows. Immediately there was a flash of light and an old memory played. It started off showing my mother and me arguing.

“So what if I want my hair like this, huh? I like it, and from what you told me, I shouldn’t care what others think, as long as I like it.” Memory Me says, getting in my mother’s face, only to be slapped by her. “You DON’T talk to me like that, how many times am I going to have to tell you this, huh? Maybe I have to beat it into you, just like I did your brother. But it doesn’t matter what you think, I’m your MOTHER, I have complete control over you. Now go to your room you worthless excuse for a son!” Mom yelled, the memory me complied, tears silently streaming down his/my face.

After another bright flash of light, I found myself back in the hallway, on the verge of tears. But not tears of sadness but of rage. “God. Fucking. DAMMIT! Why, why did it have to be those memories, FUCK!” I screamed into the floor, trying to hold back the pent up anger that had been bottled for years. After what felt like hours I shakily got up and walked down towards the end of the hallway, avoiding all the windows.

I walked for what felt like days, the walls now adorning red splatters around the window frames. Then, finally, I could see a door at the end of the hallway. As I got closer I noticed that the door was blood red, chipped, and had cracks all over it, there was even a broken chain on the ground in front of it. I nearly jumped out of my skin when the door was slammed on, causing a loud muffled *Thump*, like someone was trying to break out. But what scarred me the most was the voice that emanated behind it, It sounded of pure insanity and rage.

“I know you’re out there, I can smell you’re soul!” it screamed, still bashing at the door, the first hinge broke off. My blood ran cold, I turned and ran as fast as I could the other way, only to see the hallway changing. The hallway morphed into a large dome room, a staging area. The door at the other end smashed open, sending splinters everywhere. A pure black smoke flew out of the doorway, surrounding me, until finally closing around me.

I felt pure pain, but it wasn’t pain, it was the emotional pain that strikes your very soul. Every emotion trying to break forward, but they couldn’t, they exploded around inside me, I felt as if I was going insane. That is until the voices spoke, each word or phrase whittling down my body, mind, and soul.

Worthless, waste of space, useless, die, YOU ARE NOTHING CORBIN!, nothing, “no,No,NO! I AM something, I AM useful!” I yell into the black abyss. Worthless excuse for a son, piece of shit, die, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?, “NO I don’t, Why are you doing this to me!” I yell again into the abyss, die, your nothing but an object, nothing, I am you.

And just like that, with those last words spoken, the smoke cleared revealing a loan figure. It looked exactly like me only it was made of the smoke, and had a pure red eyes and unholy smile. It started walking towards me, I instinctively started crawling away. When it finally got to me it picked me up by the throat, and slammed me against the wall.

“I am you, I was you, I will become you. You’ve kept me repressed, chained, imprisoned so that you could create a false sense of security. So you wouldn’t have to accept who you really are, how you really are. But soon Corbin, soon, I will be free. You will bow to me, and when you become broken beyond repair, I will take control. But remember this, the more you hold me back, the stronger I become.” It said, each word shaking me to my core, before reeling back its hand until it was ready to fly.

Suddenly a bright flash encased me; the last thing I saw was the thing holding me flee. When I looked around again, I notice that I was in some kind of throne room. The walls, floors, and ceiling was made of crystal, the throne on the other hand was made of pure black crystal. Green fire torches lined the walls, giving the room an eerie green glow. I looked behind me to find a large balcony leading outside. I walked out onto the balcony to find a terrifying sight, the sky was blood red, and the city below was in disrepair. When I looked closer I saw something that I’ll never forget. Men, women, children, all of them were wearing shackles around there feet. Some were mining, others loading massive crates, and some being beaten. It was horrifying, disgusting, sick, but a part of me found it amazing. For what part of me liked it I don’t know.

“Isn’t it beautiful, seeing what can be accomplished when you rule with the power of pure fear, my puppet?” a deep voice sounded all around me. I looked around franticly trying to find the source of the voice, but I couldn’t see anyone. “Where are you, show yourself!” I yelled into the throne room, only to be answered by a dark chuckle.

“In due time Corbin, in due time. But know this, I will be coming back, and war will follow to those who opposed me many years ago. But for now only remember one name and phrase. King Sombra, long live the king.” The voice said, before a black beam struck my heart sending me into the inky black abyss.

-Dream End¬-

I bolted up to a sitting position, sweat pouring down my body. I looked over to my right to see Luna tackle me into a hug. “It’s okay; it was only a nightmare, its okay.” Luna spoke in a soothing tone, after a moment I looked to my right to find Celestia hugging me too, how I didn’t feel her before, I don’t know. “Corbin, are you ok? You were thrashing and screaming, but one thing that you screamed concerned both me and Luna.” Celestia said in a worried tone. “Yes, I’m ok, thank you Celie, Luna. But what was I screaming, and Luna cant you control dreams?” I asked, only to get a blush and concerned look from Celestia, and only a worried look from Luna

“You were screaming ‘Long live the King’, why? And do you know who the king that you were referring to is?” Celestia asked, her voice sounding extremely worried now. “Let’s just say that that nightmare was the worst ever, but the only name I heard was Sombra.” as soon as I mentioned Sombra, Luna and Celestias futures darkened.

“Do you know who Sombra is?” I asked, both Luna and Celestia glanced at each other before Celestia spoke. “Sombra was one of the most evil things to have plagued this land, he lead a country through pure fear, and nothing more. He enslaved the entire Crystal Empire, and led an attack on Equestria. We were winning until the final battle at the Crystal Empire’s castle, when we defeated Sombra he tied his soul to the entire capitol and it’s citizens. And as he fell he said ‘ I shall return, Long Live The King!’ and he and the capitol vanished. But that was more that 1000 years ago. Corbin, did he say anything else?” Celestia asked, I was still in shock from what I heard, but I managed to speak.

“He said something about a coming war, and something about a puppet.” I say, but quickly follow up with a question of my own, “Did I say anything else while I was asleep?” Luna and Celestia looked at me and nodded, “You also screamed ‘I will be free’, why?” Celestia asked, probably just as confused as me.

“Well. Actually can you both do that memory spell to see my entire nightmare? See if I left anything out, I’m already starting to forget details.” I suggest, they both nod and cast the spell. A moment later both looked at me with confusion evident on their faces. “Corbin, I’m sorry but, I need you to tell us everything about you mother.” Luna said, Celestia nodding in confirmation.

“W-what?” I ask, I didn’t want to talk about her, just the thought of her scares me to the bone. “Corbin, I need you to tell us now, you’re holding your emotions in and it’s not healthy. Tell us. Now.” Luna says in a commanding tone. “N-no I-I cant, she’ll yell at me, she’ll take it out on my b-brother, I have to stay s-strong or she’ll yell. She’ll-“ I was cut off by Luna slapping me, “Just tell us Corbin, you have to let out your emotions before they consume you, unless you want to become that thing in your head. Please for me Corbin?” Luna pleaded.

“Y-your right, she’s not here, she can’t hurt me.” I say, though I just burst into tears, ones of sadness and rage toward my mother. “I was never g-good enough for her, I was always a d-disappointment. She would always tell m-me I’m worthless, and take her anger out on me and my b-brother. I took most of it so that my brother didn’t, but I always w-wanted to fight back, but I couldn’t. it was like invisible chains restrained m-me anytime I would argue with her. and EVERY FUCKING TIME SHE WOULD PUT ME DOWN, I just wanted to die. The ONLY thing I always strived for was her approval, but I never got it. She just couldn’t accept me.” I cried for what felt like hours, both Luna and Celestia comforting me. By the time I stopped I felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest.

“It’s ok, she isn’t here anymore to hurt you, just remember we will always be here for you.” Celestia says, getting a nod of approval from both me and Luna. Though soon after I fell into a peaceful sleep. “What a sob fest, I guess I can finally go back to sleep. Though what the fuck is with Celestia flirting with Corbin? Eh, I’ll figure it out later.”

I woke up the next morning to someone saying my name, and a wet feeling on the side of my neck. I turned to my right only to see Celestia sucking on my shoulder! I was panicking because Luna was cuddled up next to me on my left, but to make matters worse both arms were pinned, I was trapped. I looked back over to Celestia when I heard my name again, “Is she moaning your name? Dude you know what that means!” Jon said, though I didn’t comprehend what he had said when I took a closer look at Celestia, she was humanoid just like Luna! Wtf!?

She had on a simple white dress with a gold trim, and she still had her horn and wings. I tried to escape but when I moved both girls held me tighter, Luna saying something about a teddy bear, and the Celestia saying something about a bed. It only got worse when Celestia’s arm started to slowly make its way down lower, but when her hand was just about on my groin Luna shot up and looked directly at her still sleeping sister. Her face morphed from shock, confusion, and then to anger in seconds, it was safe to say she was pissed.

“SISTER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” Luna yelled, causing her sister to shoot up. Celestia looked around and noticed both her new form and were her hand still was. She quickly pulled her hand away, blushing like hell, “I didn’t mean to do it I swear!” Celestia said quickly, only to receive a skeptical look from Luna. “Didn’t mean it huh? I can very clearly remember you moaning his name, and your dream. Care to tell us?” Luna asked, Celestia at this point looked like a deer in headlights.

“H-how much of the dream did you see?” Celestia asked, “ALL of it.” Is all Luna said in response, and Celestia turned bright red. “Okay, one, what dream, and two, why the hell did you turn humanoid, pardon my language.” I asked only to have Celestia look away from me, blushing, and Luna give me a you know what face.  After a brief moment it clicked, “Wait a minute! You were having THAT kind of dream!?” I asked Celestia, she nodded in confirmation.

“Though I do have one question, why?” I asked, only to get a worried look from Celestia and a what the fuck face from Luna. “Well, its because..” Celestia mumbled the rest. “Say again, I couldn’t hear you.” I say, “It’s because I have a crush on you!” She finally blurted out, Luna looked furious while I was shocked to say the least. “Why?” I asked again.

“Well it’s partly because I’m jealous of my sister. But it’s mostly because of how kind, and caring you are. You risked your life for her and I always dreamed of finding someone who would do that for me. So when you did that for Luna and how you’re normally polite, even though you have a somewhat psychotic personality, I fell for you. I’m sorry Luna, Corbin, I’ll go now.” Celestia said and vanished in a flash of light before Luna or I could say anything.

And though against my better judgment I said the first thing that came to mind, “Well that just happened.” I say in an awestruck tone. Luna, on the other hand, wasn’t taking it quite as well, “How could she not tell me about this, we tell each other everything, but I guess not now!” Luna yells, angry as all hell. “Dude, for your sake, and as well as mine, tell her that we should go find Celestia NOW before she turns her anger to you. I know this because of all those years watching TV dramas, so get fuckin moving!” Jon yells, snapping me out of my trance.

“Okay, Luna, lets go find your sister and just sit down and talk. Maybe there’s a reason the she didn’t tell you about having a crush on me, okay?” I say in the most neutral tone I could muster, and it somehow worked. “Fine, we’ll try it your way, and if it doesn’t work, we’ll do it my way.” Luna said, the last part with pure anger and a hint of joy. Needless to say I was scared to see what her way was.

As we walked around the castle in search for Celestia, Jon decided to spark up a conversation with me. “So, what’s it like having two god women after you?” Jon asks. “Well, it’s not fun, I love Luna not Celestia.” I though back in irritation. “ya cant tell me you haven’t thought about it, and don’t try lying to me, I can see inside your brain.” Jon shoots back, but follows up with a question from far left field. “I wonder if herds are a thing here, ya know if they are you could become the luckiest man on the planet.” Jon says, only for me to try to say something but come up empty when I notice that we’ve made it to Celestias room.

I was about to knock on the door politely, but Luna had other methods, this one being kick the fucking door open. The massive door flung open like it had no mass, and causing me to see something I would never forget. There in the middle of the room stood a very confused looking Celestia, humanized mind you, with nothing on. I quickly looked away, blushing like hell itself, but Jon was having a field day. “Dude, one word describes that scene, BOOBS!” I on the other hand, was quickly encased in a blue aura and dragged into the room.

I looked back up and see that Celestia was now decent, adorning the same white dress as before. I quickly spoke before Luna had the chance, “okay, before either of you say anything, we’re here to settle whatever is going on. Now that I’ve said that, let’s go straight to the point. Celestia why didn’t you tell me or Luna of your feelings, seeing that you most likely knew this was bound to happen at some point.” I say in a calming tone, hoping to dispel some of the tension in the room.

Surprisingly Celestia was the first to speak, “I never said anything because I knew it wouldn’t work, well with you, Corbin, at least. Seeing that your culture is strictly monogamous, that and I know you would be most likely against herding.” Celestia explains, but my mind was stuck on the last thing, so I asked a stupid question. “What’s herding?” I asked in a slightly timid manner. “Well, herding is where two or more females share a male, it’s widely excepted here due to the low percentage of males born. For every six that are born, only one is male.”

“Sister, is that what you were afraid of?” Luna asked, Celestia nodded while blushing a bit. “Well why didn’t you say so, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, now why don’t you just ask Corbin what he thinks of the idea.” Luna says before motioning Celestia to me. “Do not mess this up, just remember this, Boobs.” Jon says.

“Corbin are you open to the idea of herding, I understand if you are opposed to it, but please just give it some thought.” Celestia says in a pleading tone. “Don’t get your hopes up, but I’ll think about it. I’ve only been here for maybe a week, it’s going to take awhile to get used to your customs.” I say, only to have Celestia start jumping with joy, but Jon had one more thing to say. “Boob physics.” And as soon as Jon said that Celestia ran over to me a pulled me into a bone crushing hug, all the while suffocating me. ‘Again, death by boobs, WHY!?’ I think to myself. After she finally released me I asked another question, “How did you turn anthro, and that goes for you too Luna.” I ask.

Luna spoke first, “Well, both me and my sister can turn into this form and our originals at will through a small transformation spell, we learned it while you were in the hospital.” Luna said, though Celestia gasped a stared at me before speaking, “I just remembered, we all have somewhere to be!” Celestia yelled, all the while dragging me, literally, by my arm through the maze of halls, Luna in tow. And did I forget to mention that they were gods with super strength, cause’ it feels like my arm is getting ripped out of my socket.

“How in the ever living FUCK can she even know where she’s going? I mean seriously, if we tried to find a bathroom we would die of starvation, that and WHO THE FUCK CAME UP WITH THIS MAZE BULLSHIT!” Jon ranted as we sprinted around the halls, going god knows where. That is, until Celestia suddenly stopped, I smashed into her back. It felt like I hit a brick wall, but Celestia was unfazed nor moved. “I’m just going to add that to the Bullshit List; Stopped Anthro-Alicorn =A Brick Wall.” Jon stated in a flat tone, along with what sounded like him writing on a clipboard, how he was doing this in my head I don’t know. Maybe I should get that checked out, meh, I’ll do it later.

“Corbin you should go in first.” Celestia said, pointing to the huge door in front of us. I walked to the door and slowly opened it, only to find darkness, and against my better judgment and Jon screaming, “IT’S A TRAP!” I walked into the room.
