A Walking Nightmare
What I am
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI wandered my domain watching the horrible things have done played out before me. The rich, greedy couple in Manehattan who I made jump to their deaths from their apartment complex, the father of two who had cheated on his wife and abused his children, who I strung up with chains, and the group of foals who thought that they could burn my house to the ground. I materialized my current surroundings and saw that I no longer was on the floor of the bar, but instead on a couch in the middle of a library. I spotted the violet unicorn from before, along with a small green dragon pacing back and forth, scolding her for something I couldn't make out. I dematerialized the image and pulled up both characters and I saw a picture of both the unicorn and the dragon. I reached out and touched the dragon and I saw his future and his past, his name, memories, fears and loves, and his true feelings.
Spike was the unicorn's, Twilight Sparkle, personal library assistant and all around slave, but she didn't mean to treat him like that, but it ended up happening that way since she magically hatched his egg. Spike lawfully followed her like a dog to their owner. Spike was most afraid of zombie ponies and his greatest burning love was a white unicorn who I had seen earlier in the day, in the bakery. His crush on this pony was so great that he locked away most memories of that pony, so tight in fact that it was impossible for me to pass.
The unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, was a little less complex. She was birthed by Night Light and Twilight Velvet, became the personal student of princess Celestia, and now she lives in this treehouse library, the Golden Oaks Library. She would receive alicornhood, she would lose her treehouse in a battle with a demon, and she would get a castle in return. She would eventually outlive her friends, followed by the princesses, and her dragon, only to die sad and alone. I knew how that felt.
After my little trip through their memories, I slammed my eyes shut and forced myself awake.
I sat up on the couch, only to hear a gasp from Twilight. I looked at them, as they both started freaking out.
"How are you awake," Twilight and Spike asked at the same time.
"The doctor said you'd be out for another few days," Twilight asked me. Her voice had a trace of panic in it, after what she saw back at the bar. "How are you still alive, I watched you get stabbed in the neck."
"Twilight, or should I say princess, I'm more than you could imagine," I told her, my voice the same monotonous tone. I stared at her and continued. "I have abilities your Princess Luna could only dream of having."
"What, are you saying you can dreamwalk, wait how do you know my name and what do you mean princess?" she asked. I smiled and tapped my head. "Well if you claim to be this high and mighty dreamwalker, what can you do that Luna can't?"
"I can see your past and future," I told her. She gave me a look of disbelief as I told her this. "Spike will become the hero of the Crystal Empire, make a changling friend, you Princess Twilight Sparkle, will become, as I said, a princess, you fight many demons, such as Tirek and Sombra, also, you will get a crystal castle and your treehouse will be burnt to the ground."
She looked at me with a long face, and was stunned. She shook her head and looked at Spike who had sat back down to finish his meal.
"May we talk over dinner," I asked. Staring at the bowl of soup in front of Spike. She walked along the wall into the kitchen and came back out with two bowls of soup. She gave me one, and sat next to Spike. "This smells good, it'll be fun to eat again."
"Wait, when was the last time you actually ate anything," Spike asked. It was the first time he had said anything since he had spoken with Twilight in tandom.
"I haven't eaten anything for about 2 weeks now," I answered in the middle of inhaling the soup. The taste was bitter, a pinch of salt would do it some good. "Okay, so where were we, ah right, Twilight I know your greatest fears and your strongest wants and desires. I know Spike has a deadly fear of zombie ponies."
At the mention of zombie ponies, Spike visibly tensed up. "I will leave you two alone."
"Spike has a crush on a white unicorn, it's super strong and debilitating, and only a few ponies know about it," I said aloud, Spike threw a glance at me and I returned the death stare. He left the room and I returned my attention to Twilight. "I know you have a fear of you not completing your task, like you did in magic kindergarten, and your greatest love is your friends, you don't love anypony more than your friends."
"How do you know so much of me and Spike," I tapped my head for a second time, I spun the bowl in a circle on the table. "Fine, how did you manager to survive a knife to the neck?"
"That's for me to know and for you to never find out," I told her. She scowled at me.
"Why are you being more sociable," she asked. My answer know already
"You were barely speaking back at the bakery, now I can't get you to shut up."
"Mood swings," I told her. My answer made her shake. Her head and growl. Before I could elaborate further the door to the library was busted down and a cyan colored pegasus flew straight at me. "Hi."
"Who do you think you are, you left us all at the bakery with a lot of questions," she yelled in my face. She tried to be intimidating.
"Rainbow, calm down pony girl," the orange farm pony told her while pulling on her tail. The pegasus slammed to the floor and she groaned in pain. "Twilight, after you followed after Somnium, we couldn't find you, so we came ere to find you. "
"I'm glad, but right now Twilight was asking me some questions, please continue asking," I told her.
"Where did you come from," the farm pony asked. I stared at her and I felt my coat burn away. The other ponies sat horrified at my change. I reached into her mind and saw a scared pony. I left her mind and forced her to sleep. She slammed against the floor, unconscious.
"Get him!" the cyan pegasus flew at me, but she fell unconscious and fell to the floor. I waited tor anyone else to attack, but after a minute of nothing I fell over and returned to my domain.
