I'm a Nightmare!

I have lived two lives. One in a world created by the Elements, and one in the world of ponies. Well, actually I have lived three, but I can't remember the first and I have no desire to. I remember living sixteen years in world of ape like creatures called humans. I was honestly pretty average, I never really cared what others thought of me, and I never thought much about those around me. Oh, I cared for them, but the drama they would create for themselves would drive me nuts.

My second life has gone on for thousands of years, guided by my older sisters and the Elements. It is my second life that this story tells, and it is my second life that will soon end. I lie here on my death bed, the last of the ponies around me. I feel sad, because I know that after my death they will not last much longer. After my sisters deaths I did what I could to keep the world turning, but this is the end. I am also happy though, I am happy to have seen our little ponies survive for this long, all the way to the end of time itself.

They seem so strong here, surrounding me with their concern. I wish I could stay, I wish I could keep this world going for eternity, but everything must end. All must one day crumble into the sands of time, the old must die to make way for the new. Though what comes after this even I do not know.

I write this now, for whoever may come next. Hear my story, and don't make our mistakes. Whoever comes after us, if you find remains of our civilizations, know this. It was not as perfect as it may seem. Yes, we had some wonderful eras of plenty, but there were others where we could do nothing more than live day to day without even knowing where our next meal would come from. I created one of those times, along with the help on one of my sisters. From what she told me it was a terrible time, a time of utter darkness. Neither of us are proud of it, and rarely ever talked of it.

My name is Princess Nocte, and this is the story of how I escaped the Nightmare.
