Nothingness was the only thing visible right now, an empty white space that goes on for miles, and a eerie silence that follows. One would think that they are in limbo or in some kind of dimension prison. This place is enough to make somepony go insane from the pure emptiness that this place gives out. But just in the distance, a little further down, laughing could be heard..Laughter? in a place like this is unreal..But take a closer look and you can faintly see a small black silhouette in the shape of a desk with somepony sitting behind it. A desk in this kind of place is not ordinary. But out of nowhere a sudden rush of magic pushes you towards the desk. As you reach the desk you see that it is made out of oak wood with a small lit candle on it. On the other side of the desk is some ink and quills and some books stacked on top of each other. But your focus is not on the desk, but instead it's on the being who is sitting behind the desk on a chair with its back towards you. The pony sitting in the chair slowly turned there head to look at you. "Ahhh you are finally here" spoke the pony, revealing its gender to be a stallion. He spun around on his chair to show his full appearance. He has red fur, long golden mane with white highlights, and diamond white eyes, almost makes him look blind. For his attire he wore a black tuxedo with a red undershirt and a black tie. Around his shoulders was a very smooth red silk scarf that shined a bit. To finish off his attire he wore a pair of black dress shoes.
"I'm so glad you could finally make it, i have been waiting a long time in this here borish place."He frowned a bit but then lightened up again." But now that you are finally here we can get down to business. Welcome to my domain. A dimension that exists on the other side , and before you ask no. This is not the world between afterlifes." He spoke with a hint of seriousness. But he smiled once again. " My name is Tymleco and i'm well... I am many things..Are you confused?, here,let me show you what i mean." And with that Tymleco shot out of his chair and started floating in mid air. "You see this world has a gift, the gift of magic" Tymleco then transformed into a anthropomorphic lion. " Transformation magic." He changed back into his pony form, then he changed his outfit into a more casual outfit." disguise magic, or more simply known as requip magic." He then changed back into his tuxedo and vanished. "You see, those two abilities i just showed you are just a 1% fraction of the limitless of magic you are able to wield, so my earlier statement." Tymleco then appeared out of nowhere riding a bicycle without wheels." I am many things to different ponies, to some i am god, he clicked his fingers and a gold light began to engulf him. To others i am only myth, suddenly Tymleco began to fade and his body became see through. To others i am a simple friend", He clicked his fingers and created clones of himself who began to interact with each other having a good time.After about a minute of talking to himself Tymleco clicked his fingers and his clones disappeared in a puff of smoke." So you see, i am many things to others. He spoke with some joy in his voice. But today, today i shall embrace a new role, his voice went quiet for a few moments, starting from right now i shall be your author" Tymleco smiled. " Come, take a seat. He clicked his fingers and another chair popped up on the other side of Tymleco's desk. Tymleco slowly walked on the other side of the desk and looked straight at you." Have some glass of water and sit tight, he clicked his fingers again and a glass of water appeared in front of you. For i have a tale to tell. A tale about about bonding, friendship, love, and hardships". Tymleco spoke softly. He then stretched his right arm out and opened his hand, then with another puff of smoke a black cane appeared. " Now then Tymleco smirked, lets take a journey." With that said Tymleco tapped the cane on the ground and the whole area lit up in a blinding light, engulfing everything.
Above the land, in a valley surrounded by mountains and hillsides being blanketed by the night sky, there was a silhouette running through a small canyon being hidden by the shadows. The figure ran until it reached an opening where the moon shined its warmth and its majestic light, revealing the figure to be a beautiful dragoness who had dark purple scales, pink spikes, and shiny green emerald eyes, and in her arms was a sleeping baby dragon who had a lighter shade of purple scales than his mother's, and baby green spikes. The dragoness stopped directly in the middle of the clearing to catch her breath and check on her son who was still sleeping peacefully in her arms. She smiled briefly at the little whelp but the smile turned to panic when she heard a massive bang along with some aggressive shouts some distance behind her. She saw birds scatter all over the sky as fear snuck its way back into her beating heart. The dragoness tightened her grip on her child, causing him to stir slightly and not wake him up.
"No." The dragoness whispered." they caught up so fast."
She started to sweat a bit as she began to think of ways to shake off her pursuers. She uncurled her wings to see if she could fly, but her right wing had holes in the middle, and had some scrapes and scales missing on the side. She winced in pain a bit when she tried to flap it, so she had to scrap the idea of flying. Then the voices behind her began to get louder and closer every second that went past. Dread claimed her mind and she began to look around frantically for any hiding spots she could use, but found none. She then stopped her gaze on some trees resting at the bottom of a large rock formation, then she shifted her gaze to a river that was running through the canyon. She looked at the trees and river one more time..Then she looked at her son still sleeping in her arms, and tears started to form in her eyes.. She knew there was no escape for her, but she was not about to give up on her child, so the Dragoness thought of a way to get her child to safety.
The leaves on the trees started to get blown off there homes and danced away with the wind. The dragoness quickly made her way to one of the trees with a few leaves still on it. She placed her whelp in front of the tree very slowly and gently, trying her best to not wake him up. Then she slowly closed her eyes and cupped her hands together. The pink spikes on her body began to glow bright and a bunch of leaves on the tree started to get a pink aura around them.
Very slowly the leaves started to rise from there branches and began to merge together in mid air, creating some form of basket. The dragoness then slowly levitated the basket to the ground, next to her whelp and the pink aura surrounding it completely disappeared. Her eyes slowly opened up and she was slightly panting from the stunt she just pulled. Once she regained her breath, the dragoness crouched down to pick her baby up who still remained asleep in her arms. She brought the baby up to her snout and she began to slowly cry as she kissed his forehead a couple of times."I'm sorry my child. She spoke softly while crying.I know our time together was brief and short, but don't worry my sweet prince. Someday in the afterlife we can spend as much time as we want together." Her crying intensified as she began to rub her cheek with his, getting some of her tears on him, causing him to stir around a bit but she paid no mind as she was still showing affection for her baby. "But not now. I'm afraid are paths must separate here. You must go on and live for me sweetheart, go and grow up to become a fine dragon. A dragon that every race in equestria can be proud of". She cried some more until she had no tears left. The dragoness then placed her stirring son in the leaf basket and picked it up. She then made her way towards the river while still looking at her whelp in the leaf basket. The dragoness stopped at the foot of the river and she crouched down to her knees and slowly placed the leaf basket on the flowing crystal clear water while still keeping her claws on it.
Separating from a child is one of the hardest things any parent has to do, but at this moment the baby dragon's life is in danger,so his mother does not have much choice in the matter. She took in her son's form for the final time as fresh new tears started to form in her eyes. Once the leaf basket was firmly placed in the river the dragoness removed one of her pink sikes magically and levitated it above her son. Her eyes closed briefly and the spike began to glow a bright pink, then a magical barrier formed around the basket, protecting her son from the outside world. Once this was finished the dragoness opened her eyes and she placed her right hand on the barrier, making it ripple. The dragon whelp inside slowly began to wake up. First his eyes were half open, he then let out a little yawn and stretched his tiny body, before fully opening his eyes, revealing them to be the same colour as his mother's. The dragoness gently began to rub the barrier that was separating her from her child. The baby dragon looked at his mother with his big green orbs and just stared at her. Suddenly there was another crash right behind the two and it caused the dragoness to instantly freeze up. She quickly got her composure back and she quickly pushed the basket down the river.
The baby dragon began to cry for his mother, but she never came...The only thing that echoed throughout the night was the whelp's cry...Along with a female scream Then it was silence as the moon kept up its light gaze throughout the land.
