The Dark
Ornstein walked through the dark cave. Around him was nothing but black, the light from his torch shined around him. Rainbow Dash was in his arms, breathing faintly. The only sounds were of Rainbow Dash breathing, the crackling of his torch, and the thumps of his footsteps. He shuddered, memories forcing themselves into his brain. "No!" he shouted, forcing them away. He continued walking through the cave. Memories of the past again flooded his mind, faster than he could react.
They were all gathered around one of the Undead bonfires. They were all laughing at Ciarin as she ate one of his sweet potatoes. Artorias slowly handed her the water jug, which she chugged as fast as she could.
"NO! Not again!"
Ornstein struck down the Manta frog, but it was too late. It had ambushed Gough and struck in-between the crack of his helm. The moss was already beginning to grow. Gough would be forever blind.
"I SAID NO! Please, no."
"You don't have to do it Artorias."
"But I must. If I don't, the Abyss will devour the world. He turned to Ciarin. "Stay safe, okay?"
"Of course, Artorias."
He fell to the ground Rainbow Dash falling from his arms onto the ground. "No, please no."
"Pity, I expected more from the fabled Lords Blade. Oh well. Maybe next time." The Marvelous Chester dove through the portal, which closed before he could grab him. Ornstein fell to the ground, tears leaking from his mask.
The torch rolled across the ground, fluttering in an illusory wind.
The Sky
Rainbow Dash flew. She flew in an endless sky. Nothing could keep her down. She was the essence of freedom. As she flew, she smiled and forgot everything. She was content to fly on and on, the only thing existing was the sky and her. So she flew onward, no boundary to stop her.
Wake up
"Huh? Who's there?" She asked.
It's time to wake up, Dashie. That voice, so familiar.
"Where are you?" She stopped, and hovered in midair. The sky started to blur in front of her. A mare with a coat of the lightest blue appeared in front of her. Nothing was special about this mare, except for her deep purple hair, her horn, which was cracked down the middle, and a gash across her left eye.
Time to wake up Dashie. Time to open your eyes.
"Mom? Is that you?"
Time to wake up Dashie. The mare started to fall out of the sky, falling downwards.
"MOM!" Rainbow Dash shot downwards, her hoof stretching out to the mare. The ghost stretched out her hoof as well, reaching for Dash.
"Good night, Dashie. See you in the morning. The mare closed her eyes, dissipating before Dash's eyes.
"MOM!" Rainbow flew faster closing her eyes as the ground rushed up to meet her.
Time to wake up.
The Dark (Switch songs.)
Three graves. Three flowers, blue, purple, and yellow. Three friends, never forgotten. "You seem upset, great warrior." Ornstein turned around, greeting a mysteriously clothed figured, wrapped in a gold-lined cloak, wearing the mask of a child. "Do you miss them? I think they were rather dumb, to get killed off like that." With a roar, Ornstein lunged at the figure. His lance was blown away by an invisible force, and he was lifted into the air, choking. "That's not a nice way to treat people. After all," the mask blew away. "I'm your friend right?" Ornstein was greeted by his own face, sneering up at him. It lifted one of its arms, and launched darkness at him. He was hit, and fell unconscious.
"Time for you to awaken, old friend. We hath awaited thee."
