Hey everybody welcome to my first story I plan on adding a lot more to it please use constructive criticism as I am a little green when it comes to writing but I will try my absolute best when it comes to spelling and grammar. Enjoy! - TNB
It all began with that recurring dream…
That strange horse thing appearing in front of me and saying "Welcome back." The horse changed every night sometimes white with a flowing multicolored mane sometimes purple, hell once it was a zebra! Anyway back to the dream, the same thing was always said just with a different voice "Believe in yourself as we believe in you." Then the incredible equine would fade away revealing a cave mouth that it had been blocking with its body.
As soon as the horse's form faded out the yawning cave mouth would release tendrils of black shadow that would drift along the ground like a dense fog creeping, slowly, towards me.
As it got closer and closer the fear would rise up inside me like a pot of water slowly boiling over, as they got even closer the fear transformed into terror before finally they began to surround me and constrict me like a cold vice. As they slowly squeezed the life out of me the dream suddenly changed from its usual course of me waking up in a cold sweat, something in me just "clicked," the cave was filled with a green light and a crackling sound.
As soon as this amazing light touched the tendrils that were crushing me they let out what could only be described as a screeching sound and began to steam, they quickly retreated from me back into the cave's darkened maw.
As I took a gasps of sweet oxygen I looked around for the source of the light & sound and quickly found it as it was coming from my... TAIL! "WHAT I HAVE A TAIL!" I yelled. Not only did I have a tail but it appeared to be made of green electricity! As I continued my self-inventory and realized that I was standing on four hooves, but my panic was interrupted by the sound of clip-clopping hooves approaching me and a new figure appeared in the gloom of the cavern. It was a tall black and blue mare that appeared to have wings and a horn, this made all the more impressive by her mane appearing to be made of starry night sky, she stopped in front of me. She looked me in the eye and said three words:
"You are ready."
She fell silent and the questions began to pour from my mouth "Ready for what!? Why am I a horse!? Why is my tail made of Lightning!?" As I stopped for a breath she simply game a small smile and tapped me on the forehead with her horn…
And I shot awake in my bed in a cold sweat, "I guess at least some things stay the same as you lose your mind." I groaned.
