You


You took a deep breath before you shot yourself upright.

You were no longer where you had blacked out at. Instead, you were inside what seemed like a jail-cell. A small, cramped, jail-cell. You hated cramped spaces. You took a quick glance at yourself, seeing that you were still in your clothes. Thank god, the last time you woke up like this you were being stripped nude by...

Well, you'd rather not talk about it.

Standing up, you took a good look around. There were multiple other jail-cells, but all of them were empty. Except for yours, obviously. All there was in your cell was a bed, and a small hole. It wasn't much, if anything at all. The bed didn't even have a pillow or a blanket. It didn't kill to have a little decency, even in a nightmare, would it?

Speaking of the nightmare, this has got to be the worst one yet.

Mini-Ludwigs? Really? You never thought of horses as evil beings until that gigantic monstrosity came up in your life. Hell, you didn't even mean to stumble across the big fuck. It took you what seemed to be months to work up the courage to face him, and you only won because you got lucky when another hunter popped his head in.

That poor man. It was a shame he died in the fishing hamlet.

On top of all that, you had to deal with the real host of the nightmare. Apparently Micolash was a simple subject of that blue horse, which could only mean that she was much more powerful. You only hoped that she wouldn't have disturbing arcane magic as Micolash did. You would definitely enjoy not seeing anymore tentacles protrude from anyone's arm.

"I just want to go back to Yharnam, kill Gehrman, and end this. I worked so hard to end up in this?!" You said angrily, kicking the bars that held you inside the cramped cell.

"Ah, so you're awake?" You heard a female voice speak, one not familiar. Not a moment later, another horse came walking by your cell. She was smaller than the blue one, and was a grey color with red hair. You noticed the tattoo on her, it showing a red shield. "You've been out for quite awhile."

"It's not like time really matters here." You said, shaking your head.

"Luna did say you were quite disturbed. Guess she was right. Say, did drugs do it to you, or were you just born into a cult or something? Usually we get crazy prisoners that are apart of some cult that believes Celestia and Luna are both demons."

"God- of all the nightmares to be put in, I get the one that's filled with nonsense. Atleast you aren't giant." You said, sitting onto the bed. The horse gave you a smirk before looking all over you.

"Interesting clothes. We would've taken them off, but you'd be naked, and we don't have any clothes for your kind."

"And my weapons?" You inquired.

"Armory. I'll tell you, the guards are having a hay-day with that thing. Already broke a tabl-"

You stood up, getting close up to the bars. "Don't you dare fuck with my weapon!"

"Relax, relax!" She said, stepping away from the cell. "We refused to let anyone mess with it after the second table. In fact, Luna herself took it to her own chambers to examine it, along with that strange flint-lock of yours."

"Pistol." You corrected. "And- Luna, is that the blue one's name?"

"You mean the one you attacked? Yeah, that's her name." The guard said, now sitting in front of your cell.

"Doesn't that mean, moon, or somethi-" You stopped when you realized the relation to her name. The moon was always a big symbol in Yharnam, and some even prophesized that there was a god that controlled its mighty power. The signs kept getting worse for you, and you really didn't know how to feel about it. With your hands now on the sides of your head, you took a seat on the bed once again.

"Jeez, you really are crazy. Look, I'd suggest you not act so weird when the Princess' come to talk with you. Since you attacked Princess Luna, you're considered a terrorist. I wouldn't do anything that gets you sent to the desert. There's some legends that sentient cactus' walk around, poking people with their needles. Wouldn't want to be in that situation." The horse said, before getting up, and walking away.

Just before she was out of the room, she looked back at you. "Good luck, weirdo." With that, she disappeared.

This couldn't be happening to you, could it? You had your clothing, but you were defenseless. The last time you used your first to fight, you fought a wolf. And, that didn't turn out so well. You've relied on your Kirkhammer so much that you forgot what life was like without it. Hell, you barely remembered what life was like before the hunt began.

You set your back against the stone wall, staring forward. You needed to come up with a plan to escape this nightmare. The last time you did it, you had to kill Micolash, who you thought was the host of it. If the blue-ludwig is the host, then she needs to be put down.

You could only imagine the horrors that lived beyond your cell.


Canterlot


"He talked of a nightmare, saying that he was in one. I have reason to believe that is why he attacked me. You understand the kinds of things nightmares can produce. It would make sense if that was the reason for his aggression." Luna said. Both her and her sister were in a meeting with the new Royal General, Stonewall.

"That would make sense, but that doesn't fix the problem. How did he enter the castle, and into your bed chambers specifically. Why were there no guards in front of your door? They surely would have seen him enter." Celestia said.

Stonewall was obviously nervous, knowing that the fault of having no guards present would fall onto him. "W-Well.."

Luna shook her head. "He didn't come in from the door, that much I know. There was a purple glow in my room, which had awaken me from my sleep. Not a moment later, he appeared. It was teleportation, but it wasn't a spell that I could identify. He seemed lost, and didn't even know I was in the room until I made myself present."

Stonewall gave a silent sigh of relief. If he didn't enter through the front, he wouldn't have to deal with the repercussion of not having any guards ther-

"General Stonewall, I can see the relief on your face. Do know that you will still be held accountable for this attack on my sister. If there were guards at the door, they would've been able to stop him sooner before he hurt her. We will discuss your punishment later."

And the nervous look was back.

Luna gave a sigh. "His weapon is of unknown origin. I've taken it with me into my own chambers, to examine it closer, and there are strange markings on the hammer. It isn't any language I can identify. The fact that it can transform into a sword is even more strange. Plus, the flint-lock that he had isn't any normal flint-lock. It doesn't hold lead-balls, which is standard ammunition for such a weapon."

"His clothes are also unique." Stonewall said. "We didn't have any clothes that would fit him, so we searched every pocket he had, and let him keep the clothes on. Standard procedure for unknown creatures being held. Though, it's the most strange clothing I've ever encountered."

Celestia sighed. "I've already sent a letter to dear Twilight and her friends. I fear that this attack might have been planned. We must not take this lightly. I'd rather take it more seriously and be right, than to take it too lightly and be wrong. General Stonewall, would you please escort me and my sister to the holding chambers? We're going to start out interrogation."

"A Royal Interrogation. Feel bad for the fella' already." Stonewall said with a smirk to himself.


You


-but if Micolash wasn't the host, why were you able to travel back to the Hunters Dream? Could this be a new nightma-

You heard footsteps, which forced you out of your very intelligent thought. You eye'd the direction they were coming from, before three horses rounded the corner. The blue one you encountered earlier, a white one, much taller, and a black one. The white horse had the same things as the blue one, horns and a wing, while the black one only had a horn.

You weren't liking this already.

"There he is. Lieutenant Aegis reported that he was awake, which has proven to be true." The black one said, to which both the white one and blue one stepped in front of your cell, eyeing you down. The white one more-so than the blue one. You stood up, taking the most menacing pose you could, and pointed at the blue one.

"Luna." You said.

"I take it Miss Aegis told you that." Luna said, her eyes locked with your own. "Is there anything else you know?"

"My name is Celestia." Celestia spoke. "What is your name?"

You smirked underneath your mask. "Why would I tell you? Why the hell do you want to know anyways? Just get this over with and kill me. I'd rather not be tortured for a million years in this fucked up nightmare."

Celestia gave Luna a look. Luna shrugged. "I told you that he was going on about a nightmare."

"Sir." Celestia said, getting as close as she could to the bars. "You aren't in a nightmare. This is all very, very real. Why would you believe you are in a nightmare?"

You laughed. Seriously, are they being serious? "Why the fuck wouldn't it be? There's mini-ludwig children running around, that although look adorable, spark memories I want to forget. I get chased by this mini-blue horse with a sword, and it's daytime. It hasn't been daytime in Yharnam in a long, long time. So, why the hell wouldn't it be a nightmare?"

"Yharnam..?" Celestia inquired. "You aren't in this... Yharnam place, you speak of. You are in Equestria."

"I really, really don't care about what you call this place."

"I'll say this only once. Being rude will only result in your punishment. Do you understand?" Celestia said with a stern voice. You could almost laugh, as she was hardly intimidating. The only thing that really intimidated you was the fact she looked like that beast, except cuter and white.

"I understand." You said, before stepping up to her. "I understand, that you can go fuck yourself. Either you kill me, or you let me get my weapons and we have a real fight. Your choice."

You were forced back against the bed when the door to your cell flew open with a yellow glow. Celestia took a couple steps inside, now right in front of you, while Luna stood behind her. You weren't expecting the sudden confrontation, but you couldn't say you didn't deserve it. You stared up at her, trying to give off a fearsome look.

"Red eyes." Celestia said. "I've not seen red eyes all that much."

"What can I say, I'm special." You said with a smile.

"General Stonewall, please get your cuffs and get them onto our dear friend here. We're going to take a look at that mind of his." Celestia said before exiting the cell, allowing Stonewall to face you with floating cuffs in the air. You stared at him, keeping your hands behind your back.

"Please, don't make this hard." Stonewall said, with a voice that really didn't match his rank.

You knew you didn't have much of a choice here, so you presented your hands angrily to him. With a click, the cuffs were on you. Surprisingly they didn't feel all that tight, but they did feel a little hot. They were glowing a faint gold, but you didn't know why.

With Stonewall, Luna, and Celestia all beginning to walk away, you assumed you were going to be forced to follow. So, you did. You really didn't want to know what 'taking a look at that mind of his' really meant. That might just mean that they're going to split your head open and eat his brains for all you knew. That'd be a hell of a way to go out. Horses eating your brain, huh? You'd expected one of those weird tumor things to do that.

You hoped it wouldn't be painful.


Author's Note

Another chapter.

Oh, and expect another chapter after this to be released today. (I'm hoping.)

Also, wow, this got a lot more attention than I thought it would. This was just a story for shits and giggles, and I thought people would consider it to be quite bad!

Well, perhaps the terribleness of the writing makes it that much funnier. Who knows.

Thank you guys for reading.

Also, if you've never played bloodborne, I would really, really not recommend looking up what Ludwig, The Accursed looks like if you want to keep your sanity.
