//-------------------------------------------------------// A Human and a Nightmare -by Star Dawn- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue I blinked, as I gazed to the left; then to the right. Dark, Everything was dark and rocky; I was admittedly cold, very cold. My eyes looked upwards only for my eyes to widen in shock at the majestic gem in front of me. Earth. Unfortunately, this also forced me to realize where I was. I was on the moon, I was on the fucking moon! I am alive-no, how was I even here, I remember going to bed, then I woke up on the moon. Like, what in the actual - what the fuck is that? Glancing at the earth from below, I could feel something getting brighter; This was a multicolored light, and it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. It was then I realized that it was actually getting closer and closer. "I should move..." I muttered, reading and watching a lot of fiction, not willing to be the guy that just allows the attack to kill him. I did try to move, but I underestimated how fast the attack was moving, I also heard, Screaming? Yes. Screaming I was knocked out of the way; spiraling out of control before I tumbled to the ground. Pain. I knew then that it was not a dream, dreams don't feel pain. At least from what I've known. Damn Thee Celestia! a roar, a bellowing feminine roar shook the moon. I was on that moon. I cringed. Ah, my ears, I think I'm deaf; I can't hear myself think. I rubbed them trying to comfort them back into normality; without pain. "How is someone..." My voice trailed off as I finally managed to get a good look at the...horse? No not a horse...It is a equine, but Horses are far more uglier than her...it's a her right? I am going off of the voice, and the shape of her body. She is sobbing now...Oh fuck... I glanced at the creature...then black at the planet Earth, then to my hands, then black to the creature. She was adorable. However, she had this feeling to her. I don't know....I should try to comfort her. If I am going to be up on the moon for the rest of my life, I need a suitable companion, and I can't complain, even if she can blow my eardrums with just a shout. I stared at her for a long moment, before I started to slowly walk towards her. Once I got to close to her, her ears perked up and her neck snapped to my directions in such speeds it made wally west glare down at her in envy. "WHO DARES INTRUDE UPON OUR DOMAIN?!" I cringed again. 'Ow.' She is glaring angrily at me, I smiled at her, "Greetings whoever or whatever you are, I am the one known as Elliot of the Jacksons I was just wondering why are you so upset, besides the obvious that is." "I gestured to the chains and the moon." "Tis none of thou concern." Nightmare growled, trying to act like she wasn't crying mere moments ago, I could see the tears. "Speath of the obvious, we hath never seen a creature such as thineself; what manner of Creature art though." "Oh, I am a human." I said, Nightmare frowned. "I hath not heard of nor hath I seen such a creature ." I shrugged, "Same, I never heard of nor seen anything like you before either." So whom might I know the name of the princess before me?" I can see the crown, and while it is strange, it is something. I don't want to accidentally start a w...is she chained? Yo, I am just realizing this, she is fucking chained. What the fuck did she do, and how the fuck is she chained to the moon! "Thou shall do well to know, We art Nightmare Moon, Ruler of the night! And the rightful Queen of Equestria!" Nightmare moon stated boldly and with confidence. I grinned, the 'We' giving me Venom Vibes. So awesome "Elliot Jackson." She crooned, "Where art thou from, We hath never seen a creature such as yourself on this planet; and believe us when we say that we hath never seen someone called Earth "Neither I hath you." I smirked, "What's up with the medieval speaking by the way." "THOU dareth Mock us!" "Whoa easy, I am not saying that I'm mocking you, it's actually cool. I am just curious." "Tis just our way of speaking. "I am from a place called earth." I said with a smile, "It's actually right there." I pointed at the planet, "That is Earth." Nightmare raised an eyebrow, "Nay, we art positive thou art Equis." "Definitely Earth." I said with a nod, "It looks just like it." "Hath you ever seen thine planet thou speakth of?" Nightmare asked. "No not in a physical sense I haven't why?" I asked, She smirked. "We hath personally seen Our planet with our own eyes...and I assure you this is Equis." "Then I must be in another world." I muttered causing Nightmare to raise an eyebrow. "That is the conclusion thou clings too?" I nodded, "Makes sense too, I never seen you before, or anything like you before. The fact that you said it yourself that you never seen anything like us, when 8 billion of our people cover the known world." Her eyes widened in shock, "8-8 billion..." she stuttered... I nodded, "Yeah...."and the fact that this could be a dream but I felt pain when I was knocked to the side." "Us ponies are only a couple million in population..." Nightmare moon stammered, "H-how is it possible for your species to have 8 billion." I shrugged, "I dunno, there are theories but I have mostly been the type of go with the flow type of thing." "I see..." Nightmare moon smiled nervously at me, "Well. I suppose. do all hath magic?" I frowned, "Well some do...at least they claimed. I never believed it, but it appears that some people 'Claimed.' that they could manifest their dreams into reality... Actual fantasy dreams into reality...which is fucking awesome but I never believed it, mostly because it was hard for me." "Hmm..." Nightmare moon hummed, "Then perhaps it shall do best for an alliance of sorts with your species, magic with that caliber is indeed impressive, and judging by the magic Thou, currently posses, thou, speakth the truth, you with your sheer number we can easily overpower Celestia." "Who is Celestia by the way?" I asked curiously, " I heard you mention her twice-wait I have magic?." "She is our sister." Nightmare moon growled, "She is the reason why we art here and yes you do have magic I had sensed it, it is quite impressive." "Oh..." I tilted my head at her, 'Must have something to do with that Rainbow Kamehameha thing.' "Why are you here? Did you do something wrong?" "We were, tired of being underappreciated by our subjects," Nightmare moon glared at the moon, "W wanted to destroy Celestia and bring about Eternal Night." "I-I see..." I raised my eyebrow, Eternal night? Your saying it like the night is yours?" "Indeed, it is mine, I cause all of the stars in the galaxy including my moon to rise and fall, while Celestia controls the Sun." "Bullshit!" I shouted at her. "Thou Dareth question us!Nightmare moon, Queen of the Night!" "No-no I'm sorry," I apologized, "it's just I didn't believe you for a second." Author's Note Hope you like it.
