I bet most of us would wish for a better world and life. But unfortunately for me, I made that wish that ended up coming true. I now floated in the middle of nowhere, others may call it the void. A stark white place that seems endless, in which it was pretty easy to lose track of time.
I didn't remember exactly when I met Garitina in the middle of nowhere. He told me this white void was called or rift. The and he spoke of his human world, which was filled with Pokémon and humans . He even taught me some shadow magic over the years, but again no time passed here. Many centuries could have gone by and I wouldn't have noticed.
But, the worst part wasn't being stuck here, it was being stuck here alone with my emotional baggage for hours on end. With no distractions, such as video games or the internet, for that matter, there was nothing but total nothingness. One day, or whatever time it was outside this void, a mirror portal opened up in this empty place. What I saw was the most beautiful creature with four hooves. Her coat was white as snow, and her mane was pink along with her tail. What caught me off guard was the fact that she had a white horn on her head. It spiraled towards the sky. She also had feathered "wings," which I dare to say looked like those of an angel. On her flank was the image of a yellow sun.
I watched as she walked with her advisors, talking about what I assumed were matters of state. But when I looked behind her, and spotted her younger sister that looked lonely, vastly different in color scheme and body type, which reminded me of the night. Then the image blurred for a moment as I saw them approaching me.
(Outside the mirror)
Celestia was first to approach the mirror artifact that was delivered just a day prior, with its origins unknown for the time being. She scanned it with a simple spell that allowed her to test.
" It would seem this artifact is ancient.......But we can't be sure of its origin," Celestia said as Luna came closer to get a better look.
As Luna approached, a hand print showed up on the mirror. And then a knock came surprising them both as writing began to appear like when a window fogs up during cold weather.
"Let me out, please." Luna read out loud as she reached her sister's side. They both looked at each other before she came towards the magic mirror that seemed to be the only way out.
"I would advise against that, your highness. We don't know what we are dealing with. For all we know, whoever or whatever this is could be dangerous. " The royal advisor said, stepping In front of Luna just as more writing appeared.
“Do you have any idea how long I’ve been stuck in here ….” I was growing frustrated with these ponies. I was desperate for freedom. Desperate to feel the sun on my skin again, and Experience life once more. But it seemed one of them was unwilling to give me that chance. I watched as the elder sister walked towards the mirror, stopping mere inches from me.
“Do you intend harm upon our subjects?” Princess Celestia asked with a serious tone and expression.
“No, I don't. I just want to live out in the world again. I want to live,” I wrote in hopes she would listen. I watched as her horn ignited with magic the color of the sun. She touched her horn to the mirror’s surface and the portal was open. As I began stepping through it and felt the soft red carpet beneath my feet one after another I stepped out of my prison.
My skin felt tingly as I felt the magic of the portal fading away. I let out shallow breaths as I opened my eyes and looked around this stone gothic castle. I looked at the arched ways and windows and my eyes soon landed on the princesses and the younger sister seemed to be blushing.
I Looked down and saw that I was no longer wearing any clothes. I groaned in annoyance as I summoned my magic to create black robes over my body. I looked back at them and apologized for the in convenience.
“That aside, what do you intend to do now?” Princess Celestia asked debating on whether or not to let me leave or send me back through the mirror.
“See how much has changed since I’ve been gone, maybe hone my magic. Why do you ask?” I asked noticing the magic on her horn growing brighter by the second. I stepped away from the mirror, not wanting to be sent back there to that endless white space.
“The fact that you just used dark magic makes me think otherwise. I can't risk you becoming a threat. Not after the empire just disappeared,“ Celestia said, walking towards me with a threating glare to burn me where I stood.
“Please……I don’t want to go back there!!!” I pleaded as I looked at the mirror rift vanished just as I got blasted into the wall behind the thrones and The star shaped gem fell out of causing me to turn to stone.
Luna gasped in horror at the damage and burns to my body before I turned to stone. Then she turned to her sister once I was out of sight, she ran over to her sister’s side, hoping to calm her down long enough to get some answers.
“Sister……..” Luna said with worry and fear of what Celestia’s actions could implicate for the future.
“I couldn’t risk her turning on us Luna” Celestia panted.
Elsewhere :
It was cold and dark, but wherever I was. It was not safe for I sensed darkness. I could barely move, and to top it all off, I had no idea where I was now. I only knew my future was now uncertain and filled with danger.
“She got out a lot earlier then I had planned……..but I can work with this,” Dracula said smirking.
Until next time...
