Anon and his 'problems'
The dream and it's dreamer
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAnon was simply resting, his dream being bland and boring. It consisted of a bed bathed in light, this is where Anon rests in his dreams. A few feet from the footrest there is a series of cages, within them are various Anon's each resting in a bed, they are shrouded in a unnatural darkness. One of these cages was golden and seemed more luxurious than the others.
Not to far away, in the city of Canterlot, Luna was talking with Celestia. "Sister please, quit thy tomfoolery. There is no such thing as aliens."
Celestia just kept pushing to get Luna to do it. "Come on Luna just try to enter the alien's dream, it shouldn't be hard to find." Celestia put on her cutest face to convince her sister.
Luna finally gave in. "Fine, thou shall have me search the dreams for the 'alien' if it make thee feel better."
Celestia gave Luna a happy grin. "Thanks Lulu it means a lot."
Luna smiled back. "Of course sister, we can't have these aliens abducting thee now can we?"
Celestia blushed and they both went their separate ways. Luna took a deep breath and dove into the dreamscape for the first time in centuries. It is a good thing Luna knows the ins and outs of a dream, or else she would have been lost already in the turbulent place that is the dreamscape. Luna spent what felt like an hour searching when she discovered an anomaly in the dreamscape.
Luna observed the strange orb. Luna knew this was a dream, but it lacked many things dreams usually had. Firstly it's bland and colorless, that alone is only seen in dying individuals. Secondly it was swirling, an active dream, so the dreamer is healthy. The most noticeable trait of them all though, was it's size. 'What is this, the only dreams this big are owned by individuals of the strongest wills. To have such power over their own mind, they must be ancient.'
So Luna did as any curious being would do and dived straight into the dream, she was not prepared for what laid within it's confines.
Anon felt a presence in his mind, one more lively than the others. He got up from his imaginary bed and banished it. He created a short but wide pedestal with stairs leading up to it. After reaching the top he turned to the cages and moved them to the sides of his pedestal while creating a second higher pedestal for the golden cage behind his. This caused some o the other Anons to awaken. Most stayed silent, one yelled aggressively at the Anon on the pedestal. 'He never learns from his mistakes.' With that thought the angry anon in the steel cage was electrocuted until it passed out. Anon then waited for the invading presence to reach his destination.
Luna didn't realize how big the dream was, it took her several minutes to find something in this blank canvas. But it was nothing but a large black dome. When Luna tapped on it, it was surprisingly not solid, it was like a thick curtain you could walk through. So Luna did exactly that. On the other side she saw something bewildering. 'A fur less ape wearing clothing standing on a throne.' That was not all though, this 'ape' was analyzing her with his eyes like he was a jewel inspector searching for imperfections in his future product. Luna felt very vulnerable under his gaze, it was almost as if he knew everything and anything about her, including her weaknesses. That was when Anon decided to speak.
"Greetings Luna, what do you do here within my mind? It is very dangerous here." Anon gave her a nefarious smile.
"Salutations creature, I have come to find the source of the strange dream in my realm." Luna said modestly.
"Well, now that you are here, what do you plan on doing next?" Anon said this as if he knew what was going to happen.
Luna looked up at Anon with a passion. "Why is your dream so, barren? Surely you have hopes and dreams?"
Anon Simply looked at her like she was a child. "What use is there in hopes and dreams? They are nothing but a waste of time and energy. That's why i'm the dominate one, I think efficiently."
Luna looked at him questionably. "Dominate one? Over whom?"
Anon smiled. "Over them of course." He then mentally pulled away invisible curtains that hid away the cages. "These are my... Alternate personalities, yes."
Luna looked bewildered. "Why is thine mind split so? Surely this would drive thee insane!"
Anon grin just got wider. "No, it would've driven him insane, but I regulate and contain them." He pointed behind himself to a golden cage. "He is the creator, he created me to help him survive the depressing world he came from. He surely would've died without me."
Luna looked more curious now. "Who is he?" she asked.
Anon responded with. "He wouldn't want me to speak his name, we all use nicknames for one another. Just call him creator."
Luna nodded and asked. "And who may thee be?"
Anon grinned and spoke of his mind's name. "Call me logic. I dictate everything that we do and how we do it. I created the lesser personalities just to serve me." Logic pointed to his left. "This is bliss, he only feels joy, happiness and other 'positive' emotions, he is usually dormant." Logic gestured to his right. "And these two are anger and insanity." Anger was banging the floor of his cell in his sleep, losing blood as a result. Insanity was just rocking back and forth muttering to himself.
Luna was confused. 'Logic rules but creator is in a cage?' "Logic, why is your creator in a cage?"
Logic erased any sense of emotions from his face. "It's for his own good, if he roamed around haphazardly in his mind he would've ruined the mind I created for him. Not only would he be less intelligent, but he would also be less loyal and highly emotional."
Luna looked a bit angry but controlled herself, she knew she could not remove this tyrannical personality without harmony magic. "Yes that would be bad. I will be on my way now." Luna backed away slowly.
Logic only stared until she left, and once she did he solidified the dome making it impenetrable. Logic then whispered to himself. "I know you see me as evil Luna, but I only do what is logical."
Logic put his lesser personalities into hibernation while he stayed up with creator and talked about plans for the future.
The next morning Luna spoke to Celestia about the alien's multi personality disorder and 'Logic'. Celestia found this disturbing but also relented on obliterating it right away. "If Twilight has trouble with him I will meet him myself to see if he is evil." Luna on the other hand was less than happy with her response but listened to her anyways and also relented on destroying him, for now.
