Dragoon Legacy

Author’s note
This is the second part of the mini chapters for unwanted revelations
if you want I made a small playlist for you while reading this chapter.
dreams...
This was made for the part were Luna enters the dream, because some people sees dreams only in shades of grey. This was my intention to make a dream empty of colors and empty of sound where one tries their best to decipher what color is what one is seeing or what sound is being made.
This is the way Luna sees the dreams.
If you want just play from the beginning :P

================================================================================

Landing on her bed, the younger of the two goddesses felt the world around very foggy. She had spent almost all night in the Chamber of Origins taking every bit of information she could. It seemed there were more than records in the walls. She had to thank that discover to the little pulsing crystal that rested on her hooves.

=====================================================================================

The writings didn’t make sense just by reading them. While giving the idea to Luna that there were two gods besides the sisters it failed to tell who they were or where they came from. There was also a small sense of duality among the description of souls, one seemed to be or to have what the other didn’t or, in other cases, they did the same in different aspects. The best example of this was when referring to their “main” roles.

The soul of the day seemed bound to her children more than anything else, shackled by her duties, restraining her true self. Earning the role of the “Ruler”.
The soul of the sky was bound to nothing but his faith, taking out anything that would restrain him, even his own heart. This one was the “Cruzader”.
The soul of the night was the one that could foresee what the eyes could not grasp only blind to the true beyond it. She was the “Seer”.
The soul of the stars brought the dreams to reality at the cost of his own sight, turning the lies into truth, the illogical into logic. The final one was the “Creator”.

After reading the writings Luna found that the crystal had stop resonating and was just pulsing calmly, just like a heart of someone when is asleep. She wondered if this little thing was actually alive or was her imagination playing tricks…
Performing one of her exclusive magic, not only she discovered the crystal was alive and dreaming as well was the chamber.
The chamber itself wasn’t actually alive in any way but it held a dream…

At first Luna was unsure if she wanted to dive in a dream placed in the middle of dark room that hadn’t light since the beginning of days but the night goddess knew better than to be afraid of a little nightmare. Curiosity crept her mind, this was a place that only she and her sister had access and Celestia didn’t know how to read dreams, plus the writings on that column seemed to give Luna a hint of her main role.

====================================================================================

She dove into the dream to be immediately taken to a place in space. Around her there were stars that were vanishing without a trace, leaving an empty sky. All was gone but a single star and a few planets that orbited around.

Before any more details could be taken, she was at the planet’s surface. She watched as everything keep going on so fast. Trees were withering, explosions could be felt, exotic animals fled in panic… all was utter chaos… and, moments later, “nothing” took over.

She looked to the abysm of the silence to see creatures that were covered in a dark matter, emanating a thick fog that absorbed every trace of light around them. They seemed so fragile, so delicate that one wrong move would make them crumble…

Again everything went blur as things passed into her mind quickly. When everything stopped she saw what it looked like dragon like creatures tearing apart the dark ones. They were strong and seemed to be wiping entire areas of them but, utterly, all in vain… the dark ones kept coming from everywhere. She saw one of this majestic creatures being killed by a swarm, leaving only part of his bloody soaked corpse on the ground. A few seconds later what remained of the body seemed to be engulfed by a dark mist and gave birth to several shadow creatures made from some of its limbs and flesh... still fresh with blood falling to the ground.

One last time everything went fast, blurred images went by, faster than Luna’s ability to process what was happening. Now she was standing in the middle of the air and watched a major figure of what it seemed like a dragon with six wings made of crystal. It had traces of a feminine figure and emanated a presence of supremacy, not even moving of its place while decimating entire legions of them with a single pinpoint blast… It only took a glance, opening the eyes by half, before the place turn into a fiery column. This was truly a creature of sheer power. Even with the skies completely black from the creatures that kept coming, no trace of fear of shown.

Beneath that major creature’s six wings, she saw two smaller figures… they seemed like infants in comparison… and one seemed familiar. Was that Sirus? And who was the other?… and who was this one that was protecting them. Luna couldn’t get any more details when that major dragon like creature made the sky light up with several explosions.

What that thing did blew Luna’s mind… it was like Hell was brought to the skies. Everywhere the eyes could see was an explosion going on, followed by a torrent of flames engulfing everything. Those flames consumed all, even themselves. they seemed alive to a certain extent. The only thing one could hear now was the burning skies screaming.

After the skies finally burned down, blackness took over, showing the skies still filled with dark creatures that were descending, just like crows when lurking around a dead carcass. Luna was shocked to say the least. How could that be? She saw legions of them consumed by that hellish power, she saw parts of them falling from the skies still burning. How?

Luna looked back to the creature, it was panting hard. One more time, it fully open the eyes and released that brutal hellish magic. The skies once again were bright from the explosion and followed by several torrents of flames. The land beneath was slowly becoming more and more like a volcanic wasteland, opening gaps to let flow more magma out of the planets core. What was she? Queen of Hell?

The skies calmed down after a moment. Their vision was welcomed by blackness again and silence could be felt.

For the first time the creature showed signs of despair on its face. The infants were frightened before but now they seem to cling on the figure. The protector held the two infants in one embrace before it looked up to the sky. The signs of despair vanished and were now replaced by traces of anger… no it was not anger… it was something else… far beyond.

In one split second it blasted to the skies leaving the infants crying for her. Just moments before she disappeared into the swarm of darkness, she glowed. Several explosions could be seen and again that hellish magic was released, but the skies weren’t that bright. The flames seemed darker, they held a sense of horror and devilish magic. Luna could see several elemental figures soaring through the skies like ghosts made of fire, looking for helpless preys to swallow leaving nothing but ash… and everything seemed a prey for them. Hell wasn’t brought no more… they were in Hell now…

This time the magic seemed to take a large toll on the figure as it was falling from the sky. As it approached the ground Luna noticed that the body was tarnished… it was a horrifying sight.

Half of its face had flesh showing where it wasn’t burned. The lower half of the body wasn’t there and part of the spinal cord was showing along with some organs that were partial burned but still fresh with blood on them. Only the left arm and a wing remained and they were cut in half with their end’s totally burned. The creature, or what it remain, looked to Luna muttering something before she heard the infants crying on the top of their lungs.

It was their mother…
She died in front of them… in such unnatural way… muttering her last words with what remained of her body…
Such horrific act to save them was shattered in pieces when the skies were engulfed by darkness…
And then...

A bright flash…
Some other lost words and feeling came rushing to the princess… her brain was still stressing that last part of horror… she had to pull out of there. It was too much for one night

*

Luna felt sick to her stomach, empting it on the floor. Even if it was as dream it was surely very vivid. The sight wasn’t something one could take lightly. She was too shaken from the dream and remembering again made her throw up a second time.

Never she had witness such act of both bravery and horror… on all history, the brave acts were clean to some point… but this was beyond bravery… this wasn’t something one could describe with the word bravery… she gave her body and soul to that last try to save her children…

Luna couldn’t think anything else… this was too much for her. This brutality… this endless vision of pain, sacrifice and horror. For a moment she even cursed the fact she couldn’t die, she now had to carry for all eternity this torment in her mind.

=====================================================================================

“Was that just a dream?” Luna was still trying to recover from this newly piece of information. She looked blankly to the crystal on her hooves. It seemed to let out a small low sound

“You are probably right.” everything now seemed to make sense to her but she didn’t want to believe that. It was just too much to believe. Curling into a ball, her mind went wandering in the words and feelings that came rushing in her mind at the end of that dream. The inscriptions on the floor were starting to make sense but there was still one thing out in all this. Who were the other gods?

Luna needed more time, she had to keep this a secret from everypony else. The things she had saw in that dream were just too much for any living thing. She had to keep everypony out of that nightmare. At least for now
