A tale of ponies, not for those with kind hearts

A tale of ponies, not for those with kind hearts. Chapter 3: Dreams are bad for you.

Location: Camp, Everfree forest. Age: 8-9

After a full day of finding water, building a more permanent shelter, and setting traps; it was nearly sundown and I hadn't eaten vegetables in a while. I couldn't live off meat, that just wasn't pony. So I had to try some plants or fruit to find if it was safe to eat. It was a big gamble but I would go insane from killing so many creatures just to eat.

I wandered around, looking for something that was green and wouldn't kill me with a lick. What I found was a purple and yellow potato shaped fruit that had grown from a type of fern plant on the edge of a cliff, it sat by itself with no other plants around it. With the choice of this or more rabbit the bites my sanity more then I bite it I would rather pick this. So with the wind of adventure at my back, I took a bite.

I wouldn't do... Oh wait, never mind.

What? Why wouldn't you-

I didn't get to finish because I was then detracted by a tornado of colour (I'm a kiwi you stupid website so it's CORRECT!) picking me up off the ground and sending me into space. Flying through space I saw many things such as my family burning before my eyes who then run at me screaming something about how I caused this, then I saw the castle that I saw earlier flying through my vision and showing what look like a pony but had a blinding light behind them. I turned to see another but this one had the blackness of night but even then I still was blinded, as if the darkness was bright. I was then turned downward as if falling and stopped at a ring of ponies, the same I has seen in the cave; three unicorns, four pegasi, and the two earth ponies. Each one coated in a different colour as if that was how I should know them. The three unicorns were, a purple violet, a bright diamond blue, and a dark dirty golden. The four pegasi were a clam sky blue, a light yellow, a smooth dark green, and a dark midnight blue much like my coat. The last was the earth ponies who were a crazy pink and a simple orange. A blue fire erupted from each one and shot off to my left, hitting a red flame that I hadn't seen coming towards me. As the flames died a blood red pegasi rose above me and the other ponies and with a stomp turned them all to dust and sending me flying further into the colour and chaos.

My eyes snapped open to find it was nighttime. I was very dizzy and struggled to get on all four hooves. All I wanted to do was get back to my camp and sleep but my dizziness said to spin in circles. Once I got hold of myself I saw a light down a forest path I hadn't seen before. At the end the dark blue coated pegasi. It turned down the path and started to trot away as if wanting me to follow. It was difficult keeping the strange pony within sight as it took me along the path and down the side of the cliff. But after a good half hour, where I was reaching my limits, we finally arrived in a opening. It was a perfect circle of trees around what looked like a another perfect circle made of flowers made of gold. Sitting amongst the flowers where the other eight ponies. They seemed to be watching me as if I was taking a test, watching my every move as I wobbled around like an idiot trying to reach the dark blue one. It seemed to grab my attention more then the others, as if it was important to me. It walked through the middle of the field of flowers and stopping on the edge. I stopped at the same time, about in the middle of the flowers. Looking at the other ponies I saw that they had formed a circle around me like they were trying to stop me from running, not like I was going anywhere fast in this state.

My body suddenly felt a power over it, washing all the energy I had left away, leaving me to stand for a second, before falling on my face; asleep. Sucked into another crazy land I found myself once again surrounded by "Team rainbow" as I had just called them. This time they started to spin without even moving a single hoof or looking away from me. They grew faster and faster until they were a ring of rainbow colours. I left something being taken from me, like a part of my soul. At last they stopped spinning and whispered a single name in perfect fusion.

"Dark Moon"

The dream world went black.
