"Eclipse… Wake up..."
I grumbled as I awoke from my slumber, but what I saw was the likes of which I had never seen. The world had appeared to have been destroyed. The buildings had completely burnt and crumbled all around me, ash fuming my nostrils with the smell of burning flesh. Piles of bones scattered from beyond the eye can see. Everypony seemed dead, or so I knew…
I shivered and noticed a pool of blood by me and I looked into it, noticing my reflection. Nothing seemed different at all. I had the same fluffy dark grey coat, the same royal blue eyes and the same chocolate mane… My hoodie didn't seem scratched at all… My tomboyish appearance was the same as I last saw it.
Then I felt it again, a cold harsh wind had blown past me and I stood dead cold. A black hooded figure stood away from me, his eyes shining behind his hood like flaming as he trotted up to me. For some odd reason, I felt like I was powerless, and I despised that sensation. I wanted to fight this hooded figure, but I knew I would stand zero chance against him. I began stepping back, shaking in fear of what this figure could do to me. "Your world will end…" The tone in it's voice seemed deep and alien, almost out of this world. It screamed powerful and dark, and it made me fear my own life even more.
"Wake up…"
The figure lifted up his hand and pointed it towards me, a magic ball filled to the brim with evil energy forming in his hand. "And you will watch it burn…" I closed my eyes, embracing my own demise. This was a horrible way to go...
"WAKE UP!"
I shot up, and I was in my seat on the train?... No, that can't be right. It felt way too real… I turned towards my left and spotted Luna looking at me with her moderate cyan eyes. She was so close to me that her mane nearly got in my face, but it always seemed to have a mind of its own.
"Are you alright? You have been sweating in your sle-…" I lifted up my hoof and gave her a reassuring smile. "Yeah, I've been fine, Luna. It was just a nightmare." I kind of lied though. I was definitely not alright, not after something like that.
The alicorn let out a deep sigh. "You really need to watch your sleeping patterns. You have always been a very vivid dreamer…" She would tell me, and my eyes had widened up. "Wait… Have you been spying on me dreaming again?"
"Why would I d-... Wait a minute..." Luna thought of something and gave me a wry grin. "Are there dreams you wish to keep secret from me, my friend?"
I was so embarrassed, my face probably looked like a tomato. "Absolutely not, that's ridiculous! I would never!" Luna proceeded to roll her eyes playfully.
The train they were on had suddenly stop and an announcement would be heard through the speakers, our ears perking up.
"NEXT STOP: MANEHATTAN"
However, I would have had to stand up impatiently and when it stopped I was sent crashing down to the floor. The lunar alicorn would chuckle as she helped me back up onto my hooves.
After we had gotten off of the train, we proceeded to look around the incredibly modernized super power. I have known Luna for five years, but she always seems to be looking at everything 'flashy', as how she would describe TVs. Luna was almost like a puppy seeing snow for the first time. It was almost amusing.
We did some stuff for a little bit. We went shopping at their mall and we went out for somewhere to eat.
However, our 'play time' was nearly up and they had to head to the dreaded… Government Building… This had to be the most boring part of my job. Standing around as ponies talked 'politics' nearly made me fall asleep every time we had to go on a 'political mission'. I am not a spectator, I am a warrior! Why can't any pony seem to grasp that?
"I need 'leadership experience', Celestia says… It would be fun, she said…" Luna would grumble as we made it into the building. Clearly she hates it as much as I do… And that would be A LOT. We should have gotten coffee when we had the chance.
For the next hour, I would have to be in full plated uniform and standing constantly holding a 7 foot spear and listening to ponies talk 'important stuff'. I noticed lines underneath Luna's eyes, but they probrably weren't as bad as mine. She was currently talking about a tax for Celestia knows what, and looked like she could collapse in front of every pony. Honestly, I can't blame her if she did. This meeting is SUPER boring.
However, during her speech, something odd happened and I perked up. A black/red energy ball appeared on top of the ceiling. At first, I thought I was just hallucinating. I rubbed my eyes as I noticed it began to expand. Now my instincts took over as I dropped my spear.
"EVERY PONY GET DOWN!" I would shout as I tackled Luna underneath the table to try and save us. As for the rest of them? Well, let's just say they couldn't react in time… The magic ball exploded, killing LITTERALLY every other pony in the room. Flames would scatter across the room and two demons had stood in the middle of the room outside of our view. If you asked me how only we survived, I honestly wouldn't be able to answer it. I could tell she was about to yell at me in rage until we both heard…
"Now… Where's are little alicorn?" It sounded demonic and we both froze in fear. We weren't alone… And they are looking for us...
