The hospital of Ponyville was relatively undermanned at the time Twilight, Applejack and Rarity brought their visitor in and got treated by the staff. Fortunately their new patient despite in bad shape was going to be alive, sore but amongst the living thankfully. Twilight was busy talking to the doctors in the reception area whilst Applejack and Rarity were talking with Rainbow about the CMC’s latest conundrum.

“You’re flouking with me Dash, they saw Bandits that were stealing our apples” AJ said with surprise in her voice, even the CMC know not to mess with criminals.

“Uh look I was really tired by that point so of course I didn’t get what they said exactly right just what the gist is.” RD explained sounding more tired by the minute, just then Twilight comes towards them with the doctors walking in the opposite direction to check on their patient for the evening.

“So darling what’s the verdict?” Rarity asked with worry in her voice, no one should die from doing such heroic deeds she reasoned. Smiling and nodding Twilight said “He’ll be unconscious for a while but aside from the scratching on the sides and the bent armour? He’ll be fine at least “ that gave the three girls sighs of relief (or in rainbow’s cause a yawn) and went to join their friend on the bench next to the double doors leading out of the hospital.

“So (yawn) what’s (yawn) now?” Rainbow Dash asked sounding even more tired, especially since it was nearly morning and RD’s need for speed draining her strength.

Between her friends and putting a hand to her chin Twilight answered “Well it’s best I inform Celestia about this and ask if Luna would see into his dreams to find out more about him.” Raising a brow Rarity asked “Can’t you wait ask our visitor tomorrow darling?”

Turning to her left Twilight answered ”Because Rarity he could be in serious stress after what he’s been through and by going into his dreams Luna could talk to him without causing panic, because in his own mind Luna can make him feel peaceful and thus have an easier time communicating with him” thinking so more Twilight added “And what makes you so sure he’ll be awake tomorrow?”

Before Rarity could say anything Nurse Redheart came from the desk across from the bench holding a small ocean blue vial.

“Well ladies all the paperwork is done and you’re free to go and Rarity be sure to drink this before bed to fully restore your mana” Redheart said passing the vial to Rarity.

After saying their goodbyes the three began to leave the hospital and headed back home for some well deserved rest.

But as they are travelling home Twilight couldn’t help but wonder “Why do I feel a tugging sensation back there?

I didn’t know how long I was unconscious for but how can anyone? Anyway next thing I know after I blacked out was standing in some sort of dream land.

Actually it more or less looks like the Fade from dragon age inquisition only instead of a green demonic feel, this place has a blue midnight wonder land type feel. ” I thought as I began to walk around this ‘dream’ and see what’s what.

As I stated before this place has a dream like aura to it and the landscape is no different a misty fog that goes to my wast, hills with flowers in colours of blue, white and purple, mountains with crystal clear water falls and a sky that’s just as if not more beautiful then the one at the forest I was in.

“I’m glad you like this place. This was created by my father to help the honoured dead find rest” a voice said behind me.

Spinning around I see a quite strange sight. A woman around two heads taller then me with sparkling blue hair and chocolate like skin, her eyes were also of an emerald colour and wore a black dress with a skirt that goes down just above her knees, the upper half of the dress had a slight bluer colour with some patterns on the shoulders and wrist.

The skirt however was pitch black with two blue trims going across it and finally her outfit was complete with high heeled boots that go just blow the knee and soakings that go up to met the skirt.


Now the outfit itself was not COMPLETELY different to what I would see in my world BUT she also had a crystal on her forehead and blue wings on her back that if you closer, can see sparks and the wings themselves look like they are made of energy.

Seeing my stunned face she asked “I take it my kind aren’t known in your world?” Her voice had a British tone to it and she spoke with an air of calmness that put my stunned face away.

“Uh! Yeah something like that and you are?” I asked notting how surprisingly calm I was since most people would simply stare at such a awe inspiring beauty...wait what?

Shaking those thoughts aside the woman in front of me answered “My name is princess Luna, an alicorn of the equestrian kingdom and sister to the high princess Celestia and avatar of the Moon”

realising that I was standing before royalty I put my left knee to the misty ground and lowering my head in a type of knightly bow to show some respect. Though fortunately there was no need as she said ”raise gentle soul there is no need to be formal especially in a place like this”. With that I stood back to my full hight and said “well my name is Kai black and.. I’m not quite from around here if you catch my drift “.

To my surprise she nods and says “my sister and I felt your arrival and thought it best to speak with you in the dreamlands so as to not cause harm in any way”. In a way I understood the method when greeting someone not native to your area though going into someone’s mind might seem....wired in a sense.

“So what is it you want to talk about?” I said sarcastically as I could probably guess the answer.

Snapping her fingers a chair made of fog rises up and she sits down then says “well obviously I would like know some of the general things in your world and why you are here “

Gulping I sat down on another fog chair began talk about my predicament.

This is going to be a LOONG dream I thought before focusing on my conversation.

Normally the hospital would be empty at this time of day but for a certain outworldly individual the hospital had some of its best people in earlier then normal by order of the high princess and were expecting a visit from the princess of friendship.

It was at this time that said princess finally arrived and walked over to reception and asked “could you please tell doctor dull light that I’m here to see the patient from last night?” The nurse at the desk nodded before pressing a button and said “doctor? She’s here” the person on the other end said “Ahh yes bring her to room 5 on the third floor would you dear?”.

With that the nurse lead Twilight through the building until they came upon the third floor’s fifth room, once inside Twilight was greeted with the sight of a nineteen year old laying on the only bed in the room with dull light just finished replacing a blood bag and once done turned to face the princess.

“Ahh young Twilight good to see you dear.” Dull light was quite a large man about one and a half times the size of Twilight and had dark skin, short black hair and green eyes.

Dull light was once a doctor in Canterlot and had actually been the one who delivered Twilight when her mother was pregnant so he was as close to to a second father like Celestia was a second mother. But unfortunately due to some nobles falling out and dull was a close friend of one of the two, Dull light was forced to leave the city and find work somewhere else.

Fortunately for Twilight Dull light was given a job at Ponyville hospital by mayor mare and has had a hand in some injuries that her friends got( like Rainbow Dash) and though rarely he had helped Twilight mentally as well and was still considered family.

Walking to her second father she gave him a hug and said “It’s good to see you as well Dull light.“ taking a step back from the embrace Twilight turned to their mysterious visitor noting that aside from his sides and chest which were covered in bandages, the rest of his body was unharmed and clothed in traditional hospital grooms.

Standing to her right Dull light said “We did a thorough analysis on his stomach area and aside from stressed bones and strained muscles the only thing the Timber wolf was able to was squeeze like a bear and use is claws to chip away at the armour he was wearing.” Said armour was lad out on a table across from them and aside from the helmet the armour had dents, mud marks and blood stains all over it.

“Can you make sure you get these to Rarity to clean up and fixed? It’s the least we can do to say thank you.” Twilight said hoping to ease any harm if the patient has a thing for his armour.

With a reassuring smile Dull said “Of course Twilight I’ll make sure the armour gets mrs Bells best treatment.” With that he went to leave the room but not before saying “I’ll also suggest you stay with him little light, from what our scans tell he’ probably be waking up today so it’s best if someone would be beside him just in case “ with he left Twilight to her thoughts.

Finding a chair and sitting down the princess watched as her outworldly friend simply lade there doing nothing but breathing with his bandaged chest rising and falling in tune.

During that time though she couldn’t help but feel that same tugging sensation from last night only it feels like it’s right next to her

What could this mean? Twilight thought and preyed that she’ll get those answers soon.

She hates lingering questions.

The cave was mucky and wet not to mention cold even with the fire the three hooded figures could only stay for so long.

Fortunately they completed their task

“Well this sucks “ said the youngest of the three around the fire, breaking the silence

“Yeah because SOMEONE decided to grab something to eat AFTER we went on this mission “ said the second figure annoyed by the fact that they got compromised by KIDS!

“Well it wasn’t the guard so that’s a plus and WE did get what we needed “ The oldest said holding a bag up for all to see.

Under their hoods the other two smiled

Seeing as he lifted the mood the oldest continued “with this we only need to get support and when the time is right this kingdom will be back to where it belongs..... the nobility “

The hands of fate began to turn.
