Revelations and a doctor

Darkness surrounds me, wherever I look there is nothing to behold but a never ending sea of shadows. But suddenly I see a small light in the horizon, but I don’t care enough to move towards it. I feel content shrouded in the dark, I have nothing to worry about, I have not a care in the world and finally I no longer feel alone.

I'm about to shut my eyes for the last time and enter a state of divine sleep. I will awaken once the timeline is shattered and the world has come to an end. may darkness devour me and only awaken me, once I finally have reason to exist again.

As I shut my eyes I feel something.

Something warm.

Something nice.

Something that will keep me safe.

Something I will never fear.

Something that reminds me of who I’am.

I open my eyes and I realise that i’m traveling in a speed beyond light, beyond time.

The light is consuming me, but it feels nice.The light in the end of this tunnel. where will it lead me?Where will It take me?

My train of thought is interrupted by a giant snake like creature which consist of swirling shadows. I’m swallowed by it and it shuts its massive jaw with a loud bang.

I quickly open my eyes and start to scan the area.“My sanctuary, how did I get back here?

Strange, I assume the whole ordeal with Celestia bringing me to Canterlot castle was just a dream. Oh well it was an enjoyable dream nonetheless. I might as well get back to my neverending duty of watching over the mortals inhabiting this world.”

As I proceed with the duty of collecting the sand of crumbled threads and putting them inside the hourglass reserved just for that one special thread. I can’t help but feel like there is something wrong, but I can’t figure out what.

“Quack, Quack.”

I turn around to see a yellow duck walking towards me.“Quack, Quack.” the duck is facing me,

it is only about half a meter away from me, it looks at me with the innocence and stupidity of a normal animal.

“In the name of all that is holy, how did a duck get inside my sanctuary? Then again it’s not impossible for an animal to get inside this cave, but normally an animal would not walk straight into a mountain wall, especially not a duck.

This duck reminds me of the rubber ducky I chewed on inside the castle, it even looks like it’s made out of rubber. But my rubber ducky could not walk, could it?”

I hover down to the ground, I stare blankly at the duck for a moment. “Quack,Quack.” I tilt my head to the left and carefully grab the duck with my magic. *Squeak.*

“By all that is holy this is my rubber ducky. But that means that the events in the castle actually happened, but if it really happened. Then why and how did I get back inside my cave?”

The duck starts to struggle against my magic “QUACK; QUACK!” I release the duck on the ground and it slowly turns towards me. It flaps it’s rubbery wings a few times. “QUACK!” the duck’s eyes starts to glow with a sickly green color. “QUACK!!!!” the duck roars and it starts to grow bigger.The rubber duck is now towering over me with a full set of razor sharp teeth its evil green eyes focused on me.

“*QUACK!* YOU CHEWED ON ME, FOR THAT *QUACK* YOU WILL PAY THE ULTIMATE *QUACKING* PRIZE *QUACK*, I WILL EAT YOU! *QUACK!*”

“I’m sorry the brain you were trying to connect to is currently out of order due to a severe case of what is going on disease”

“oh great my own brain can’t comprehend this insanity. Whatever, Ducky you are going down!”

I charge my horn with enough magical energy to blow the moon of the night sky. My magical blast hits the duck monster spot on and the smell of burnt rubber fills my cave. the yellow gooey remains of the duck is hissing, smoking and suddenly it starts to move towards me.Due to the fact that I got overconfident in my victory, I'm unable to dodge the attack of the slime duck.

“I CAN STILL EAT YOU! gulp”

Surrounded by smelly duck slime, I start to focus my mind in order to reverse time back to when I was charging my magical blast. This time I will charge my horn with enough energy to blast it through the dimensional wall that separates the world of the living and the void. Once it is inside I'll seal the duck away forever inside the void.

My eyes starts to glow, thus indicating that I'm about to alter time in some way.But nothing is happening, I can’t reverse time. I can’t do anything for that matter, the melted remains of the duck is draining all my power.How can this be? I refuse to die by the wings of a rubber duckie.I try again, my eyes starts to glow, but nothing happens.I'm scared, the duck is consuming me.

My end is near, I can feel the cold hooves of death clawing at me.I feel so helpless. I'm crying, the tears escaping my eyes are the tears of a lonely foal who is about to die.

“Somepony, save me.” My final thoughts are as pathetic as me.

My last ounce of strength is gone. My tears will flow forever, I’m a pathetic excuse for a god.

The cold embrace of death, I always thought it would be painful. But to my great surprise it's actually rather nice.

I shut my eyes for the last time. “hopefully in my next life.... I won't be alone.”

Suddenly two bright beams of light penetrate the dark remains of the killer duckie.

“QUACK!” It screams out in pain.

The bright lights grabs ahold of my lifeless body. As they lift me out of the molten remains, I feel my life energy returning to me. my body is getting warmer the closer I get to the source of the light. Im lifted out of the ducks remains, my vision is blurry and I can barely make out the shape of a pony. I'm begin cradled in the hooves of this entity and it slowly brings me closer to its chest.

“Never fear, I'm always here.” an angelic voice says to me.

I slowly open my eyes and gaze upon my savior. This entity got the same aura as the one I saw in one of my other nightmares. But unlike that one, this one feels nice. I enjoy being cradled by it.

Why do I remember this aura? Its very faint, I feel safe. I enjoy these good feelings. I don’t know what this entity is, but its beautiful. A creature of pure light in the shape of a pony. Its power and beauty can only be rivaled by myself, I have so many questions.

“Never fear, I'm always here.” It says with a smile.

since I could hear it’s thoughts I can only assume that we are connected somehow.

“Who or what are you?”

“I Am a friend, someone you forgot a long time ago.”

“I have no memories of you, If I had ever meet you before. I would remember you.”

“A shattered mind holds many questions.”

“Are you the one I should call mother?”

The entities eyes widen at this question.”You.” Its sentence is cut of by a strange colorful light bathing my sanctuary.

I cover my eyes with my hooves in order to protect them from the light. As the light starts to fade I open my eyes.

“YOU ARE WELCOMED TO THE LUNAR CIRCUS!” A clown now holds me up in the air and my entire sanctuary is now a giant circus tent, its filled with all kinds of circus contraptions and classic circus music is playing in the background.

“What the bubble is going on?” Is the only question on my mind at the moment.

The clown pony tosses me high into the air and laughs.“HERE IN THE LUNAR CIRCUS THERE ARE NO FROWNS, THERE ARE ONLY SMILES AND LAUGHTER!”

A spotlight moves to the center and in the light stands princess Luna, dressed in a bright red circus leader outfit. “HUSAH! The lunar circus have arrived to turn your frown upside down. We have arrived to scare the nightmares away and double your nighttime fun!”

I'm still falling through the air, Luna catches me with her forehooves and in a puff of smoke.

I realise that I'm dressed in a clown outfit, complete with makeup and a red nose that honks if you bop it. I can see my reflection in Luna's eyes, I look completely ridiculous.

Luna keeps holding me in her hooves and she smiles like a madpony. “We hope you enjoy the Lunar circus, but then again what foal does not enjoy the circus. HUSAH!”

If you have ever held a pissed off cat, then you know what kind of face i'm making.

I'm so angry that my face is glowing in such a bright shade of red, that the clown makeup is no longer visible. I swear you can probably fry an egg on my forehead.

I send out a massive explosion of arcane power, It sends Luna flying into the wall and it blows the whole circus tent away. I land on the ground snorting steam out of my nostrils.

I begin to unicycle my way towards luna in a menacing way. “Wait a minute, unicycle!” I jump of the damn unicycle and I evaporate it, not a single molecule remains of it.

I get rid of the clown makeup and continue to float towards luna in a menacing way.

“Stupid dream logic!” Dreams make no sense whatsoever sometimes.

I land in front of luna and I slowly look up at her, she is sweating and from the look on her face she is fearing for her very existence.

“IMSORRYPLEASEDONTKILLME,IWASONLYTRYINGTOHELP!” she blurts out faster than Derpy Hooves can find muffins.

I don't think a word to her, I simply materialize a giant colorful cannon into existence. I levitate luna of the ground and reshape her into a black cannonball with an everflowing tail at the end. I place the Lunar cannonball into the cannon while humming a pleasant tone.

“hmmm,hmmm,hhmmm.” I lit the fuse and watch in glee as it burns down.

BOOOOOOM!

“NOW STAY OUT OF MY DREAMS, IF YOU EVER DO THIS AGAIN I PROMISE YOU THAT BEING SHOT OUT OF A CANNON IS THE LEAST OF YOUR WORRIES!”

The lunar cannonball breaks through the barrier between the wake world and the dream world. It disappears in the horizon with a bling and a small star.

“Well this was an interesting dream, I only wish that Luna would not have interrupted it. *sigh* I might as well wake up now, Mrs Dream is probably done in the shower.”

“Will I ever see that entity again? Who knows, this whole ordeal have only raised more questions.”

I open my eyes and let a big yawn escape my mouth. I noticed that I dropped my pacifier in my sleep. I pick it up and stick it in my mouth giving it a few suckles to cheer myself up a little.

“Looks like somepony have finally woken up from his nap.” Mrs dream grabs me and places me carefully on her back. “now we are going to see Dr Stethoscope.”

For some reason I shudder at the mentioning of a Doctor. I have never been to one, so why does it feel like something bad is going to happen?

A short stroll through the castle later, we arrive at a brown door with a golden door hinge and a silver plaque that spells Doctor, Indigo Stethoscope: Foal specialist:.

Mrs Dream opens the door and walks inside. The room inside is anything but bland, all kinds of different colors paint the walls. It almost looks like the foals he treated are the ones that painted this whole room. Other than that it is a basic doctors working place. All the fun things are here,

needles, stethoscopes, bland candy in a jar, some random hoof puppets, charts, a silver examination table and of course a big mutated green spider. “Juck, nasty... oh wait its a stuffed animal, derp.”

“Hello Dr Stethoscope, are you here?” Mrs dream say while scanning the room with her eyes.

BOOM! an explosion is heard from the other room and an indigo colored stallion with a fire scorched coat flies through the air. He slams onto a bookshelf and all the books lands on his head and buries him.

After a few moments of silence the stallion stick his head out from beneath all the books.

“*Cough, cough*. Oh my, that was quite the bang. Hahahaha.” He stands up and starts brushing the black ashes from his lab coat.

I blink my eyes a few times in disbelief.”Is this Stallion really a doctor? He seems more like an escapade patient from an insane asylum.”

The indigo stallion walks up to Mrs Dream. “Why hello there Mrs Dream, it is nice to see you again”. He notices me sitting on her back staring at him. “Oh is this the little guy you mentioned when you booked this appointment?”

“Yes he is”. she takes me of her back and puts me on the examination table. “This little one is Tempus Custos. He needs a complete survey and I could not think of anypony more capable than you.”

Dr Stethoscope looks deep into my eyes and gets uncomfortably close to me. “Hmm, this is a very special child.” He begins to circle the table, similar to how a shark circles around its prey.

to say the least, he creeps me out. I just keep sucking on my pacifier in order to calm myself and to prepare for whatever he has in store for me.

“Mr Dream would you kindly undress him. Its seems he is scared of me, so I think its better if you do it.”

“Scared? I'm not scared, you are creepier than a spider with 63,5 legs.”

Mrs Dream begins undresses me. I'm now sitting on the table in just my diaper, simple seeing the damn thing is pissing me off.

20 Minutes of probing later.

“Well that about does it. He is a healthy alicorn foal, he is five days old. Incredible developed for somepony his age and he seems to have a lot inside his little head. I think we might have the next captain of the guard here.”

“He is only five days old, are you sure?” Mrs Dream say while looking at me. “No wonder he was unable to keep the foal food down. This little cutie needs milk.” She looks over at Dr Stethoscope. “You don't happen to have one of those potions ready to go, do you?”

“Why of course I do, what kind of Doctor do you think I am?” He walks out of the office for a moment and comes back with a small bottle with blue liquid and three syringes. “Here you go Mrs Dream, now try to keep his attention on something, anything besides the syringes. Foals tend to get scared by them.”

Mrs Dream pick up a hoof puppet, she starts moving the doll and making silly noises in order to get my attention. “Boga, boga, bleh, bleh,bleh.” To make a long statement short, her attempts so keep me occupied fails. Its going to take a lot more than that to make me look away from those needles.

“Ok how bad could it possibly be?” Dr Stethoscope jams the first needle in my behind. My eyes shoot up and they start to fill up with tears.

“Ok, so this is what pain is.” My lower lip starts to tremble.

During my existence I have never felt pain, once I foresee something that is capable of harming me. I simple reverse time so that I can dodge it or I erase the danger from the timeline momentarily, so it misses me. But I never considered a needle as something dangerous.

I still don’t, but since I have never taken any kind of damage before. It makes this tiny needle feel like the worst pain ever.

I'm breathing heavily “I'm not going to cry, this is good for me.” I repeat this sentence in my mind, until my train of thought is interrupted by the second needle. Tears are starting to flow down my cheeks and I begin to quiver like a scared puppy .In my mind I begin to chant ancient curses that no mortal should ever hear or read “#%#x”##!!¤”¤(&%/”¤!)(#¤/!”=)¤)!”##/¤”!)¤&!”(¤&)!”(¤&(/=)¤!#¤&!()#.” Im suckeling at my pacifier as hard as I can. “I need to calm myself, I don't want to flip out and hurt anypony.” Then the third needle strikes me.

The pain caused by the third needle is enough to make me snap. I drop my pacifier and I begin to cry loudly. My eyes starts to glow as I focus my mind on Dr Stabby mcstab and I smash him into the castle wall head first. After making sure that he is stuck in the wall I continue to cry. I cry loudly and Mrs Dream rushes to me, she takes me in her hooves and starts rocking me back and forth.

The soft movement is soothing and simple seeing her face is calming me down. My crying dies down to soft sniffles, Mrs Dream pick up my pacifier and sticks it in my mouth. My crying cease and she looks down at me with a warm motherly smile, she kisses my forehead and I shut my eyes and drift of to sleep.

“Excuse me, a helping hoof would be appreciated.” The muffled voice of Dr Stethoscope is heard from the wall.

“Oh my,” she say very quietly. She takes one of the pillows in the room and puts my sleeping body on top of it. She then rushes over to the doctor and start pulling him out of the wall. “Are you ok?”

He shakes the dust from the wall of his head and pats his lab coat a few times. “Well I got a crazy headache, but besides that I'm fine.” He looks at me, sleeping on the pillow. “That was quite the surge, I have never seen anything like it. But I guess I should not expect anything less from the Prince Shining Armors foal.”

“He is not the prince’s foal, at least to my knowledge.”

“Oh comon, its obvious. He looks just like his daddy when he was a foal, same blue mane and coat. also he is a alicorn just like his mommy. If he is not the child between Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Prince Shining Armor. I will eat my lab coat.”

“I believe princess Celestia would have told me that, besides why would they not care for their own foal?”

“Well from what I have heard, they are both quite busy rebuilding the crystal empire. So maybe they don't have the time right now.”

“I don’t want to believe that, but thanks for the examination. We might come back sometime.”

“ Well I hope not, but you are always welcome here.” Mrs Dream picks me up and starts walking back to the nursery.

“Oh yes, that reminds me. The potion you got for your body to start producing milk is a newer one, it will only takes two hours then you will be able to feed him!” He shouts down the hallway.

His shouting woke me up momentarily. I better take it as soon as possible, I don't want Tempus to go hungry. I hope he likes my milk.”

“Milk? What milk? What is she talking about? why would I need milk?.... she can’t possibly mean..... Oh bubbles I think she is. ehhh I'm still sleepy.” I close my eyes and I once again drift to sleep. hoping that I misheard that whole thing.

Author's Note

Here we go again, another chapter.
I suffered a crazy writers block making this chapter.
As usual, I hope you enjoy the chapter and I have no clue when the next one will be done.

The oddly written text in the beginning of the chapter is backwards.
For those who are to lazy to Google something like backwards writing or something.
Here is what it says: Tempus Custos! Your mind has already been broken once, don't let it happen again
