Cold. Dark. Alone. Abandoned. Abused.
These are all the things you ponies are, and yet you aren’t even aware of this. You are abandoned by the gods, it wasn’t the gods who gave you food for you to harvest. It was the alicorn race with their magic that have done it.
Me and my kind had grown to care for you. We love you, I love you. I show my love for you when you dream, I obeyed your mind ang gave you those images, either from dreams or from nightmares. I hide in your closet. I did that to show my love, compassion, and affection for you.
Whenever you cry while you were asleep, I hug you. I have felt your pain of the loss of your parents, and I even cried myself. Because I too have lost my parents, I feel empathy for you.
You don’t remember me, but I know who you are, apple bloom.
I am born the same age as you. I was a baby like you, a toddler like you, I am a little cub like you, I have siblings like you.
No, I’m not you. But I am in fact, your secret lover.
If you don’t remember when we first met. I have spoken to you when you were in the forest of your dreams. I didn’t mean to upset you. For i was doing the purpose of my true kind.
I hope you forgive me, giving you these nightmares was not my intention.
Nor was it the intentions of my friends, these two of my friends were lovers of Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.
I am writing this note down out of love for you.
I am that feeling you get hear a creek in the attic.
I only emerge in the night, the darkness.
We feel no pain, nor can we die.
We only die, if our host dies. How you have offsprings, is that you would start making out with a stallion, and have children of your own.
We don’t have genitals, we are all genderless. We can’t make with our host, nor can ponies give birth to my kind. It doesn’t work like that. We only have an offspring, if our host has an offspring.
Do you sometimes feel like that someone is at your window watching you when your family is asleep? I can only do that in the dark.
We are stalking your kind, because we are protecting you from the outer gods.
You flourish in the Sun and artificial light. While I stay close behind you because we were too weak to resist the light. We have to be powerful in order to do that.
If we grew more powerful than we would be able to resist the light. And we would prevent them from awakening. But if I do raise up, and resist the light.
Do not look at me, Please; My identity is not something you would comprehend, you would be frightened of me, you would go insane, and I couldn’t escape the twisted way you would think of me. I can’t let it happen to you. My kind would not let yours go insane either, or cause chaos.
Luna thought I was your shadow, she was wrong for assuming this. Though to be fair she and celestia, or even the alicorn race for that matter, would not trust me if they find out what I am.
The outer gods want us to destroy equestria, but we rebelled against them, because we knew that this was wrong, and that this is cruel, needless, disharmonious, unkind, and worse, evil.
We don’t want evil, we want friendship.
Causing chaos, is like being abused. It makes us sad.
It makes us all sad.
We live in dark places. But we grew very lonely. We need a beloved, but you denied us.
You were asking me these questions, “well if you know how to raise a hoof at a cutie mark, then why don’t you get rid of it!?” or, “why would i want you to torment me with nightmares!?”
I can’t believe you’d asked these things of me when we met.
You don’t know me. Are you even curious?
If you are then let me tell you how it began between my kind, and yours.
Millions of years ago. During the creation of your race.
We were made by the alicorns without even knowing how they made us, the first ponies. A mare named Sunlight daisy, and a stallion named moonlight radiance. The 1st of my kind is best not to be named, because the names of the two will not be comprehended. By pony tongue.
The 1st ponies have meet the 1st of my kind, they called us, dark flayers, also known as hate feasters. We were called hate feasters, because our cousins the changelings feast off of love, we Feast off of the opposite of love, hate. If we drain hate from other creatures, they will not become lifeless husks, but instead make them loving, more caring, kind, and even found harmony itself.
The first dark flayers can only emerge at night. And when they first met sunlight and moonlight, they did not show themselves, but instead they only hear voices. Because the dark flayers were afraid that if they had shown themselves, the ponies would be afraid of them.
The ponies told the dark flayers that they needed to procreate and have descendants for them to live on, but there was hate in their hearts, and that they were not procreating. The dark flayers sang a lullaby that lets the ponies to fall asleep, and because of that, they feast off of the hate of the 1st ponies, and that morning, the 1st ponies began to have make out, and became loving to each other.
The alicorns, were looking for the ponies, to give them a reward. They have cast a spell, so that 2 more breeds, unicorns, and pegasi, will be born from the 1st ponies, their children, and many descendants to come.
During the founding of equestria, the ponies are growing more hateful towards each other, they do not know friendship. And my kind, the dark flayers. Are trying to fix this problem, but ithaqua, and the windigos are making our purpose more difficult.
When the dark flayers are about to feast on the hate from, princess platinum, general hurricane, and chancellor putting, trying to save the ponies from the windigos feasting off of the same hate as as what they were feasting on. Clover the clever, has discovered the fire of friendship. It had defeated the windigos and saved the ponies. We were hiding away from the ponies so that they would not be afraid of us.
The dark flayers’ love for the ponies began to grow from generations to generations. They feast off of the hate from ponies, obey every dream of everypony, and they always be there for them, but after the foundings of equestria, the dark flayers began to grow weaker and weaker, to the point where they can only emerge in the dark. We were hiding from ponies for years to come.
I am speaking to you truthfully from this note to assure you that this is not a lie. We would never do such fraud.
I grew to love you apple bloom, i kiss you from your lips when you are sleeping, if you were in a sleep paralysis, this is when you see me, but i was trying to wake you up, so you wouldn’t be late for school, neither will i be late for school either.
You can say that i am, your doppelganger. Witch makes sense, why luna would call me a shadow, even if it’s factually incorrect. I’m not saying that there is no such things as a shadow, but my kind are shadow based creatures, and we love ponies as their loved ones.
If you want my race to help you, then you need to help us 1st.
I can’t draw you a map, since I am an absence of light, but I can point you in the right direction. Go inside the castle of the two sisters, go downstairs to a large door, and you should find the shrine of kathanid, where I will be waiting for you
If you have the courage to tell the truth about my kind, write it down to celestia. The ponies will not believe you, but celestia will. She knows everything about us. I would put on a blindfold if I were you, so you would not have to look at me. Just a safety tip. But don’t run away from me, i’m not going to hurt you love.
Sincerely, your beloved.
