Me: Chapter Two, I'm feeling like this story is going to be great!


Julie was staring up at the moon, the cool breeze stirring the treetops below. No one else knew where she was, she decided to skip out on dinner that night. She left a note on her door and left for the roof.

"I should've done this a week ago. Luna certainly does a good job with the night." Julie laid back on the roof and smiled. "The stars look brighter than the moon too! But there aren't as many as back home. Oh well." Julie smiled as she stared upwards. "I wonder if they are missing me, I bet Shadow is, but mother is always trying to keep father calm and she does so many things. Father isn't going to be happy if I'm gone." Julie closed her eyes, and thought of her world. "Dark magic, it's gonna chase me until my death." Julie saw an image flash in her head, it was of her drawing, a shadow's smile. "Who is King Sombra anyways? It's a unicorn that I drew, I'm stronger than a shadow." Julie opened her eyes. She frowned. "Why do I think of these things? I should just forget about it." Julie sat up and rubbed her eyes. "I might not be hungry, but I'm tired." Julie stood up and walked to the edge of the roof and looked down. "Not that far down, I can reach my window easily." Julie lifted her foot and walked off the edge. In a flash her fall was stopped, and she was holding onto the window frame to her room. "Easy." Julie climbed in and kicked off her boots. She jumped into bed and closed her eyes. "Goodbye world." 'Never know if this is all a dream.' Julie thought as she drifted off to sleep.


Julie dreamt of a distant memory. She wasn't sure if it was real anymore, such a long time ago.

"Mother, are you sure this is right. I can't really understand the last part." Julie was younger, she had long hair and a purple dress on. She was talking to her mother, a tall lady with dark hair as well. "Yes every looks right. You have the symbols right, and the circles are perfect! Just make sure you say the words right. It's pronounced like this. Let the flowers grow, and let them show. Simple." The lady handed Julie a large book. Julie carried it over to a chalk drawn circle with four symbols, a snowflake, a flower, a leaf, and an acorn. "So if I say this right, I can make flowers!" Julie asked excitedly. "Yes, your sister has already done this, so you can do it too." Julie stood in the middle of the circle and took in a deep breath. She looked at the book again, and squinted her eyes. "Why is it so hard to read this, okay. Let the . . . . let the floral grow, and . . . and let them sh . . . is that a g? Glow? Let the floral grow and let them glow!" A tiny flower sprouted and touched Julie's nose. It had golden petals and an amethyst center. "Mother look! I made a flower!" Julie plucked it from the ground, but it withered away in her hand. "What! I made something so pretty! Why did it go away?" Julie looked saddened and frowned. "You said it wrong, it didn't match the symbols." Julie shook her head. "But I want the flower back!" Julie shouted out the words again, and again, and again. Dozens of golden flowers popped up around her. With one way swift breeze, they all turned to dust. The dust flew around her and covered her. Everything became dark.

"Mother?! Mother what happened!?" Julie cried as she looked around. She stood up and walked forward. Her footsteps echoed. She was in a dark abyss. "Mother? The words can't make it night. Only sister can do that, mother where are you?" Julie's tiny voice echoed. "Mommy?" Julie asked once more. "You're mommy isn't here." "Father? Where has mother gone?" Julie asked. "Your father isn't here." The voice boomed around her, it heard her ears. "Who are you?" Julie asked. "I am a king, from a faraway land." "Royalty! My father told me that there were very few left near the mountain! Can you help me?" Julie stumbled as she walked forward, then tripped. "Is this how you were when you were small. You're so gullible! So pathetic! What was your mommy teaching you?" Julie sat up and dusted off her dress. "Mother was teaching me a flower spell, a special one that made green ones. She said if I learned how to say it with different words added to it and different drawings, she said I had strong magic. Better than sister's!" Julie smiled brightly as she stared up at the darkness. "Strong magic eh, I can show you a stronger kind of magic." The dark voice was more quiet, Julie felt like it was right in front of her. "What kind of magic?" Julie asked. Two green eyes glowed in front of her. "Dark magic my dear, the best kind. With that you can rule lands, move mountains, create chaos whenever you please. You can get everything you want with it. It feels good too." A white smile appeared under the eyes, with fangs. "Sorry, Mother said that was bad magic, not good at all! She said it can only bring sadness to my heart, and my heart must stay happy! Or else it will go out like a flame." The smile disappeared. "You have no say in this choice. I wanted to regain strength to take over a land, I need a queen to help me with that. A princess is a good start to gain that exactly!" Julie looked down. "I'm sorry Sir, I cannot disobey my mother's warning. My father needs me to be the heir as well. I cannot fulfill that order." "Yes you will, even if I have to turn you into a brainwashed slave!" The glowing eyes passed through her, and her heart stopped beating. "*gasp* I can't breathe! What's happening- sir?" Julie asked, trying not to panic and she tried to restart her heart. "Don't worry, this will be easy to get over." Julie looked up to see the eyes again. "I'll see you soon my dear. Just fall asleep." Julie coughed.

White light shined upon Julie, the darkness disappearing, and the moon appeared. "Julie are you okay?!" Julie could breathe in again, and she looked up. "Who are you? Where did the man go? What are you? You aren't like my father. Or my mother." It was Luna, she had heard Julie's nightmare and came to help. "You're a younger version of Julie, I don't see why you change your style." "You remind me of sister. Shadow's smart like you!" Julie smiled up at her. "Julie, you are in a dream. Tell me exactly what that shadow told you." Luna told Julie. "Oh, I've forgotten most of it. He said something about being a queen and using dark magic. But I am already to be a queen, and I already have magic. I don't understand why he would tell me this if I already have these." Luna looked confused. "You a queen? But you don't where a crown." Julie smiled and took off her right book. "I don't have pockets, but since it's cold I wore my boots. I kept my crown in it." Julie pulled out the headpiece with the hexagonal gem and the dragon's jaws. "Huh? Why is this here? It never had this pretty gem, it only had a dragon head! Father is not going to be pleased." Her smiled faded. "Julie, you are royalty? You never told me." "I've never met you! You're a horse that's talking." Julie tapped her chin. "Oh, you said I was in a dream, oops." Luna smiled, a younger Julie was more fun. "You said you were magic, how is that?" Julie raised her hand and tapped Luna's neck. A purple sphere appeared around her. It felt like glass. "A shield to protect all of you." The circle shrunk to the gap between them. "A shield for battle." The circle disappeared and rolled up into a spear. "A weapon for fighting." Julie giggled as she let the purple spear disappear. "Oh, I will have to tell Celestia about this. I have to go now Julie. See you in the morning." The dream faded away.


"Wait!" I raised my hand up, only to see the purple ceiling of the castle. "Not a dream anymore. Ugh my chest!" I crossed my arms as a burning pain stung my ribs. "Did I fall on the floor or something?! God this is horrible!" I checked to see if I really was on the floor, I wasn't. "Ow! What happened to me?" I asked myself as if I lost memory of it. "What was my dream, I can't even remember it really."

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Come in it's unlocked! Ow!" I shouted out, causing me to want to cough up a lung. "Time to wake up!" Twilight's voice greeted me as I hugged myself. "Good morning Julie. You okay?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, I'm not much of a morning person." I said to her as I got up from the bed. "Breakfast isn't ready to be served yet, but by the time everyone gets up it might get cold." I picked up my boots and shoved my feet into them. "Sorry about not getting to know you all. It's tough trying to make conversation with the guards already, and you guys are ponies. It makes me feel like I've gone insane." I admitted to Twilight as I opened up a window. "It's tough to talk to humans, people are different from ponies." Twilight said to me as I looked out the window. "Yeah, but this still doesn't make sense though. Friendship is magic, yeah it is by heart, but it can't really do much back in my home. It depends on what you are up against. And I don't really know you and your friends, and Discord. Is he your friend?" I questioned. "Discord is hard to work with, but he's reformed. He's okay." "Okay? Does he know any boundaries? He popped into my room, a girl's bedroom!" Twilight frowned. "He might forget about other's privacy. Maybe you can wake him up and I'll get my friends." I wanted to say otherwise, but she left the room before I could. "Great. Ow." I placed my hand over my heart, it stung like a hornet's sting. "What happened?" I asked myself again.

I opened Discord's door, expecting him to either be awake or asleep. What I saw was strange. He had all of his furniture and bed on the ceiling. He was asleep in his bed. "Hey Discord! Time to wake up!" I shouted up to him. He snapped his eagle claws and I felt lighter than a feather. I turned upside down and floated to the ceiling. My feet firmly on the ceiling, I tried to focus on see things this way. "Wake up." I hissed. He buried himself in the covers. "Oh for goodness sake, I know you can hear me!" I walked toward his bed and I pulled off the covers. He was curled up like a cat and was as still as stone. "Wake up, wake up! You're sleeping as if you were dead!" I poked his head, and then his eagle claw grabbed my hand. "Let me sleep in, I'm tired!" I tried to take my hand back but he pulled me toward him and I sat on the bed. "What do you want?" I asked him. "What do you know about me?" Discord asked me. "You are the spirit of chaos and disharmony, you have reformed, you are a draconequus that is real old, and you're name is Discord and you don't like to make sense." I answered him sternly. "But I only know that you are a human and your name is Julie. I will wake up and go to breakfast until you tell me about yourself." I clenched my hands into fists, and then sighed. "Fine! I like to eat fish, I like battle, I enjoy reading books, heights, and being able to do what I please. I get mad when I can't do what is needed, I can't speak my mind, and when I'm forced to do things, like this conversation." I took my hand back and glared at him. "Yeesh, try and be nicer." I glared daggers at him. "Try and leave me alone. Now you've put me in a bad mood and-" "Sorry." He told me. I sighed in defeat. "Sorry, I was a little mean. Had a bad dream and guess it's reflecting my mood." I apologized. I felt myself being turned right side up, and floated to the ground. "Thanks." I said to him. "Wasn't me." I ran out the room and back to the hallway.


I sat away from the others when we arrived for breakfast, I didn't feel like doing much talking. I ate what I could, and just stared at my plate. 'That nightmare is really messing with me. Was it scary enough to hurt my heart?' I pushed my plate away and drank the rest of the apple juice I had. 'Wonder what I should do today? Today is a Saturday, so not that much work for the princesses, but what am I to do with the free time?' "Julie?" I looked up and saw Pinkie Pie sitting across from me. "Hello Pinkie." I greeted her. "Wanna have a picnic later today? It's only going to be me, Fluttershy, Applejack and Discord, and we want you to come. What do you say?" Pinkie offered. 'I got nothing to do, there isn't much work today.' "Sure, that's sounds like fun. Should I bring anything?" I asked her with a smile. "I'm bringing the cupcakes, Fluttershy is bringing some cookies, AppleJack is getting some apple fritters and some apple juice, and Discord is going to bring cucumber sandwiches, I guess you can bring something like sandwiches or maybe yummy berries to eat with it or with the deserts." "Okay, I'll see what I can get." I told her. After that she bounced away, then I realized it was only Rainbow Dash, Discord, and me left at the table. "You finished Julie?" Rainbow Dash asked me. "Yeah, still hungry. How come you and Twilight aren't going to the picnic thing?" I asked her as I scooted up a chair. "Twilight has things to do and I still don't like Discord that much. Sorry." Discord burped loudly and smiled. "It's okay. So what are you bringing?" Discord asked me. "Berries, I have some in mind. But I'm not sure if they grow here." I replied to him as I messed with my fork. "What are they called?" Rainbow Dash asked me. "They are called Dragon Berries, but I'm actually of thinking of bringing strawberries and those together." I told them. "Dragon Berries? What do those taste like? Crystals?" Rainbow Dash asked. "They taste like icy mint, then . . . fire hot. If you can get passed the freezing and the burning hot tastes, it's really good." Discord snapped his fingers and a whole basket appeared in front of me. "Oh my god that's enough to last five moons." I blurted out as I hugged the basket. I picked up a berry, red and blue. I ate it quickly, it really was the berry. "Thank you Discord! Now I just need to find the strawberries!"

Julie picked up the basket and ran off. Rainbow Dash smiled at Discord. "You really want her to be your friend, don't you?" She asked. "I have you guys as my friends, might as well have another. Besides she is different, a misfit in our world, like me. Something in common I guess." Rainbow Dash smirked. "Yeah but she's normal for a human, from what Twilight told me. Good luck making friends! She's never gonna be your friend!" Rainbow Dash told Discord as she got up from the table and left. "I don't doubt that, but I can try." Discord sneered.


Julie was walking beside AppleJack with two baskets, one full of strawberries, the other with her favorite berries. She had almost eaten one third of the contents out of carving the odd berries. They were outside, in the sunny afternoon. It was nearly time for the picnic.

"You really like those berries don't you?" AppleJack asked her. Julie swallowed the mouth full of berries she had gotten out from the basket. "Like them, I love them! These berries only grow back home, and it brings back so memories! I can't get enough of these." Julie told her as she ate another berry. "What do those taste like?" AppleJack asked Julie. "There is a reason why I bought strawberries, these berries have a unique taste. It's red and blue for a reason. Blue for icy mint, as cold as the north. Red for the spicy and fiery taste, like lava itself! It's incredibly sweet and yummy, if you can get passed the taste." Julie picked out another berry and ate it. "Julie, calm down with the berries. You are gonna get full before we get there." AppleJack advised her. "I'm not, the things with these berries is that it can only fill you up if you eat it with something with it. Like cake. If I don't eat it with anything, I don't get full, but they are satisfying." Julie saw up ahead Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Discord were all gathered together on a white and red checkered blanket. Food was already set out. "Let's hurry up." AppleJack told Julie. "Yeah." Julie walked faster along with AppleJack.

"Finally you two are here! Now we can eat and have fun!" Pinkie shouted as Julie placed the two baskets on the blanket along side with the pitcher of apple juice and the plate of apple fritters. "Okay before we dig in I have to tell you guys something. These strawberries are for everyone, but the other basket isn't. I'm not sure you guys will like it, so it's only for me." Julie told them all. "Okay, the strawberries look more tasty anyways." Pinkie said to Julie as she finally sat down from bouncing around them. "Well you can try them, but it isn't going to be a good experience." Julie said to Pinkie.

"Julie slow down with the cookies." AppleJack advised Julie as she munched on her fifth cookie in a row. "Sorry, but Fluttershy you make great chocolate chip cookies! It's like eating happiness!" Julie exclaimed as she finished the cookie. "For royalty you sure don't have manners. You're talking with your mouth full!" Discord told Julie as she drank some apple juice. "Who said I was royalty? I just choose to help out the princesses because I have nothing else to do." Julie finally calmed down and stopped eating for a minute. All of the food was nearly finished now. The strawberries had all disappeared, and most of the dragon berries too. "Well at least we know you aren't stuck up like these rich folk around here." AppleJack told Julie. "I don't like to act like a priss or fancy. It isn't me." Julie said as she picked up the last cookie. Discord snatched it out of her hand. "You had enough cookies, my turn to eat." Discord ate the cookie in one chomp. "Discord! That wasn't nice you know." FlutterShy told Discord. "What did I do wrong? She ate most of the cookies and I wanted one too and-" "It's okay Fluttershy, besides I still have some berries left." Julie interrupted Discord and picked up the basket of dragon berries. "Wanna try one?" She took out a hand full of berries and offered them to Discord. "Don't mind if I do." Discord took them and started eating them. All of a sudden Discord's fur had ice on it. "W-Wow! That's c-cold!" His teeth chattered. Then the ice melted and his face started turning red. He grabbed his glass of apple juice and gulped down whatever was left of it, then exhaled. Julie smirked evilly and laughed on the inside. "You knew that would happen. Didn't you?" Discord questioned her. "Well you have a dragon's leg and tail so I thought maybe you can handle it since it is called a dragon berry and you don't make sense." Julie told him through a grin. "It's not a dragon's tail, its a snake's tail." Discord corrected her. "Snakes have slick and smooth-ish tale with scales, you have sails and feathers at the end." Julie told him. "If you say so." Discord rolled his eyes. Julie glared at him and then ate a handful of berries. "So Julie can you tell us a story?" Pinkie asked. "A story?" Julie stared at the pink pony with confusion. "Yeah! Before we do anything else I wanna hear a story from your world." Pinkie told her. "Actually that would be nice." Applejack replied. "Yeah, a nice story." Fluttershy added. "It's going to be boring I bet." Discord scoffed.

'A boring story? I'll give you a good story.' I cleared my throat and cleared my mind. I know the perfect story. "I will tell you a tale my mother used to tell me, it's not boring, it's not like a knight in shining armor, it's nice, but not all. I will tell you it in my own words." I told them.

(A/N: Okay guys if you don't want to read the story just skip it until they start talking again.)

'There used to be all sorts of magic, way back in history in my world. Wizards and sorcerers helped out kings and queens, witches haunted children's nightmares, voodoo doctors cursed those who crossed them. There is one group though, that wanted to keep peace and balance within the world. They didn't want people to get hurt, the innocent to be guilty or blamed for actions they didn't do. So six men and six women, they gathered together, all of them wanting to fulfill this wish, this prayer. So they sat together in a circle under the moon. They sat there, thinking, wishing, focusing, until the sun came up. When they stood up, something happened. When they all said their goodbyes for that day, they held hands and colors started appearing around them. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, for every two they had one color. After that, they could do amazing things! They could do spells, they could move things with this power, they could make objects and weapons with them! Just by focusing and thinking. They put these powers to action and good use. They walked into a battle field of a raging war between two rivalry countries. They stood in the middle as everyone charged at them not knowing whose side they were on. When they all neared them, they could not get close. A blue shield had surrounded the six men and six women. One of them had made it with just two hands being held up.

Julie held up her hands to give a good idea.

'The armies both tried to break the shield, when it started to crack, one man raised his hands, and three large orange spikes erupted from the ground. Two more did the same. Both red and green, both. The armies back away and looked in awe and disbelief. More things happened, they all watched as they saw the six men and six women make a defense around.

Julie put her hands together and opened it like a book.

'Forty years later they were legends! They were world renowned! They gave him a name for the six men and women, they can conjurer up anything with their minds, with their thoughts. They could move things with their minds and one lift of an eye lid. The users thought grew old, when they first had powers they were very young. After all those years they went around the world stopping all chaos and anything they did not wish to see happen to their world, my world I guess. They eventually made a guild, and called themselves conjurers. They had families, and they each had twins, some all girls, some all boys, some both a girl and a boy. Each of them had a birthmark on their backs.'

"Is that their cutie mark?" Pinkie asked. Julie looked around them, everyone was entertained and was interested in her story. "It's a birthmark. Here look." Julie pointed to the skin around her eyes, it was a cat's eye, but with two wips that pointed upwards. "That's my birthmark, my sister has one just like it but pointing downwards. Now their mark is different. They are two hands, the palms black, but the fingers are of the oringal colors of the powers each of them had. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. In the middle, was a hexagon. Wanna know what that was for?" Julie asked them. They nodded their heads in a yes.

'They had found this very rare, very powerful, and very helpful crystal. They chipped it piece by piece into hexagonal ones, and made them into necklaces. They each wore one. It can limit their power so they don't get exhausted from using too much strength and too much energy. Without it each one of them could over do it. Each one of them wore one, it's usually a clear crystal, but it glows with the color the power is. Now everyone in the world respected them, they did mind knowing that magic was within their presence. But after that, kings and tyrants wanted the power for themselves, and by that time the magic branched out and the guild grew to be almost like a kingdom on the road. Then, one by one, criminals and bad kings had wanted the power badly, they would kill for it. So they asked the users to give them the power for riches, a kingdom, royalty! They all said no. The only way to get it is by blood, by gifted, or by some sort of manipulation or spells to make them. Soon many had been killed for not giving it up. Everyone thought they went into hiding, or the magic died out.'

"Is that it?" AppleJack asked Julie. "No. My mother told me of an old tale that was connected with it." Julie added on.

' My mother told me about a kingdom, deep within a forest. There was a queen and a king. Both normal, both of good hearts. By then the magic of the conjurers had died out, long forgotten. The king and queen had a princess, and on her back was the mark of the conjurer. Later they saw that she could do things with just a point of a finger, and soon, their subjects thought the princess was a witch. When the princess came of age to take the crown, the kingdom turned on her and the queen and king, and a rampaging fire had started, everything turned to ash and just a shadow of the once great kingdom. A few survivors tried to search for the princess. She had escaped before the fire hit her room. She had escaped with her magic, and no one saw her again.'

"My mother had heard of that story a long time ago, when she read it from an ancient book. It's a nice story, but not a happy one." Julie told them as she looked down at her hands. "My, what a sad ending." Discord told Julie. "I told you, it's not boring, but it's not a knight's tale. I used to wonder what it would be like if I ever did meet them. They were kind people, my mother told me." Julie grabbed a handful, two handfuls and almost gulped them down, when she heard hooves steps behind her. "I wish I could meet one, but I guess you don't want to admit it." Julie turned around and saw Luna. "Luna? Hi." Julie choked out as she let the berries fall back into the basket. "You had a nightmare last night and I helped you, I guess you may not remember, but you told me something about them." Julie stared up at her in confusion. "Wait what?" She asked. "I'll tell you later, right now I have other things to do." Luna left after that, leaving Julie in confusion. Julie grabbed three berries and ate it instead of explaining or talking. "So what are we going to now Pinkie?" AppleJack asked Pinkie Pie. Pinkie got up and from a basket that was behind her, she took out two trays of cupcakes. "Cupcake fight. The rules are that if you are hit, you have to eat a dragon berry or eat the cupcake that you were hit with. You can only use two cupcakes, after that you have wait until the final two!" Julie stared at the cupcakes and then glared at Discord. "This is going to be fun!" Julie exclaimed as she held up two frosted cupcakes. "Okay! Everyone grab two cupcakes and spread out!" Julie stood up and glared at Discord. "Good luck!" Julie ran away after that.


"Oh no, this isn't good. This isn't good. This isn't good."FlutterShy muttered as she hit behind a bush. She had wasted both of her cupcakes trying to get Pinkie Pie out, and now she was vulnerable. "Found ya!" FlutterShy jumped up and was hit with a cupcake. "AppleJack you scared me!" Fluttershy squeaked as she wiped the frosting from her mane. "Sorry, but I have to go. I did shout that pretty loud." With that AppleJack ran off leaving FlutterShy behind. "Good luck." "FlutterShy!" Julie popped out from the bush and caused Fluttershy to shriek. "Sorry! Look has anyone- I mean anypony been over here? I heard AppleJack over here." Julie asked. "She just ran away after she got me. Who is still in?" FlutterShy asked. "Discord, Pinkie, and AppleJack along with me. After this I wonder what else Pinkie has planned. This is fun!" Julie stood up and ran in the direction AppleJack had ran from.

"Where are you Pinkie Pie? I heard you laugh over here." Discord said as he looked around the entrance of the labyrinth. "He . . he." Discord's ears perked up to listen closely. He turned around to see a flower bush that wasn't there before. He picked it up and pulled out a giggling Pinkie Pie. "Got ya!" Discord shoved a cupcake into Pinkie Pie's mane and smiled. "You have to learn how to be more quiet." Discord let Pinkie Pie down as she tried to eat off the frosting and cupcake pieces from her mane. "Hey Discord!" Discord turned around to see AppleJack prepared to throw her last cupcake at him. "Try and hit me." Discord beckoned. AppleJack was about to throw her last cupcake, when.

SPLAT!

A cupcake hit AppleJack's cheek and made her drop her cupcake. "Got you, now where's Discord!" Julie ran in front of AppleJack and saw Discord. "There you are. Let's make this a game of cat and mouse! Try and find me!" Julie ran into the maze and disappeared from his sight. "Final two Pinkie, hand over those cupcakes." Discord told Pinkie. "Sure!"


I had found the center of the maze in no time, by climbing through the hedges. There was a tree in the center, a dead one though. I leaned against it and waited for Discord to catch up. "Oh you better watch out, better stay back, because I'm going to win with this snack." I sung as I looked at my cupcake, white frosting with sprinkles. Chocolate flavor. "Best game ever I must say. I will win before the day's end!" I sung innocently as the wind blew through the dead branches. A large one was hanging over my head, already fallen but caught by two tiny branches. "Hope that doesn't break." I chuckled as I waited for another gust of wind. "This is the most fun I had in years! Even just waiting for someone to attack is exciting!" A smirked rose on my face as I heard hooves stomping the earth. "Not long now before I win." I readied the cupcake to be thrown, when something fell by my feet. "Darn it!"I dropped her cupcake by accident and looked behind me. "Hi." Discord was there holding two more cupcakes. My Heart stopped as I took a step back. "Caught me by surprise Discord, it wouldn't be fair since I no longer have a cupcake and you have two." I told him. "Fine, here." Discord tossed me a cupcake. I grabbed it and threw it at him. He dodged it and threw three cupcakes at me. "No!" I raised my hands to blocked them, when I realized that I had done what I did not want to do.


The cupcakes floated in mid air, coated in light purple. Discord stared in disbelief. "Like the story, one motion and you can do amazing things!" Julie looked up and dropped her hands. The cupcakes returned to normal color and fell to the ground. "You're a conjurer! Like the ones in that story you told us!" Discord shouted. "No I'm not! I'm normal, I'm not magic." Julie blurted out. "But what you just did proves otherwise! And-" "Don't say a word about this then! Look, this is an opportunity for me to be normal, I can be whatever in secret, but I don't want anyone to know about it. Okay!" Julie shouted, which echoed around them. A gust of wind blew the tree branches of the dead tree, and then snap. The branches holding the large fallen branch snapped, and it came tumbling down. Julie dodged from the falling branch's blow and fell on the ground hitting her head.

My head hit the ground hard, I instantly lost conscious, but I was aware of one thing, a shadow flickered across to me before I did pass out.

Discord panicked and stood there. She wasn't hit by the branch, she wasn't getting up either. "Julie?" Discord said. Silence. Discord walked over to Julie, and lifted up an eye lid. Nothing moved, except her chest for inhaling and exhaling. "Oh no." Discord picked Julie up. "AppleJack! Pinkie Pie! Something happened!" Discord called out. AppleJack and Pinkie had been following Discord, when they saw Julie, they gasped. "I think she hit her head!" Discord explained what had happened, and they took Julie out of the labyrinth and to the castle.


"Hello?" I was walking through a castle, not sure where though. Everything was reflecting my face, but it was distorted. My skin was darker, like it had been rubbed with ashes. My eyes pale, not even showing purple, just white, and a smirk always plastered on my face. "Is anyone here? Celestia? Luna? Twilight?" I called out as I walked through the empty halls. "You don't need them, they're just innocent ponies! They can't even handle a drop of blood!" I looked behind me. "Who was that?" I looked all around me, my reflection stared back at me. "Oh so you don't recognize your own voice! Being away from home sure is messing with you! You don't even want to tell them the other sides of you!" My lips weren't moving, but my reflection showed I was. "My other sides? You mean my abilities?" I asked my reflection. Beside the reflection of the dark version of me, a purple one and an orange one stood beside it. "You're caring, fun, and magical side of you, and you're troublesome, mischievous, angry, and fiery side. These sides make up two things you do not like but love still. Wanting to be normal so no one has to fear you, get uncomfortable around you. So you don't like being yourself?" I shooked my head. "No! Look I want to be normal and you know why if you really are my reflection!" I told the reflection. The purple and orange version of me disappeared. "I do know why, but I haven't really told you what I am. I am the darkness that is in you, waiting behind you're shell until someone that knows about darkness to come along. I was made from your doubt and your sadness." I glared at my reflection. "You're staying inside then, I'm never letting you out!" I told it. "You're forgetting something, the worst of people are brought out by something or someone, want to meet that something?" The dark reflection disappeared and left me with my own. I felt the air grew tense, as I heard a sinister laugh. Then something grabbed my foot and tripped me. I fell backwards and it dragged me into a dark room. I felt the cold floor turn icy. "Hello my dear." I stared up at the dark ceiling, with two green eyes, with purple mist flowing out of it. A white fanged smile greeted me, I knew this thing anywhere, I drew it once before. "Sombra . . . you're the evil unicorn king! The one with dark magic! Why are you here . . . ." I felt myself shaking from the cold ice floor. 'How am I cold? I don't get cold.' I thought as felt something like ice wrap around my wrists. They hit the floor and were stuck in place. I looked to see what was holding me, it was just black. It looked like something had erased the part of the skin that connected my hands to my arms. "You seem distress, why not relax and talk. I don't want you fighting back anyways." The white grin moved with the words, but the voice echoed loudly. "What are you going to do?" I questioned him. "I'll tell you about your future my dear. There is another element that never has been discovered, but never has been considered. I don't trust Celestia and Luna to stop your corruption." I glared at the smiling Sombra. "An element? You mean those elements of harmony? My bite is more powerful, but I don't represent one! I'm not so easily manipulated. You have no control or power over me." I told Sombra as I twisted my wrists to get free. "Or do I?" His eyes glistened purple, and then I felt something shift inside me. Everything went numb. "What did you do?" I asked him. "I let someone out." After a while, I felt in control of my limbs. I didn't understand what had happened. "It's almost time, just a little longer until I can greet everyone. For now I'll leave you with a parting gift." He dived head first at me, and passed through my chest. Something shifted again, and my heart stopped. I gasped as I felt cold air in my lungs. But my heart didn't start beating again.
I coughed and raised my hands to cover my heart, nothing. I started hitting my heart to get it beating. Nothing! "You bastard! What did you do to my heart!?" I shouted as I struggled to get up. Soon I couldn't breathe anymore. "You have locked something I need inside you, and it's that dark version of you I need. Trust in keeping it in, break it, and I can use you. See you soon." The shadow that was left of Sombra disappeared, and light entered the room. Above me, was black smoke. An outline formed and twisted into the dark reflection I saw. It was smiling at me as I coughed and choked. "See you soon." It told me as I tried to breathe and gasp for air, I wanted to cry, but I didn't know what was stopping me.


Julie said up and gasped. She almost had hyperventilated if she hadn't felt the hooves trying to keep her up. "Julie are you okay?" Luna asked Julie as she covered her heart. "Julie say something please." Luna begged. "Can you go get Celestia?" JUlie asked. Luna nodded her head and ran out the room. Julie quickly got up and looked around. They had taken her to her bedroom. Julie ran to the door and closed it. She locked the doors, then she went to the windows and checked them. Locked and closed. Julie then sat in the corner and hugged her knees. "He nearly killed me, he stopped my heart and I couldn't breathe." Julie mumbled. "Break the trust, and he can use me. What does that mean?!" Julie shouted as she covered her eyes. "Calm down Julie, calm down." 'Traumatizing yourself more isn't ever going to work. Just calm down!' She thought as she casted a side glance at her nightstand. There it was, her headpiece with the new gem in it. Julie got up for only a moment and grabbed it. She stared at it's gem, and glared at it. "I'm an element, a representative of it. No, this just happened because of something else. Yeah, that's right. I only can know that." Julie covered her eyes and dropped her headpiece. "I think I need a good cry." Julie mumbled to herself.


Celestia and Luna rushed to Julie room. When they tried to entered, they found the door was locked. "Celestia do you have the key?" Luna asked. "I left the only key inside her room. Why did she lock it?" Celestia tried to open the door again, even used her horn to help. Strong lock. "She was freaking out when she woke up, she was having a nightmare before. I think she saw something bad in her dream." Luna took her turn trying to pry it open. "Julie! Julie open the door!" Celestia shouted at the door. "Leave me alone for a while! I'll come out when you guys find me a way back home!" Julie shouted through the doors. The shouting had caught the attention of the mane six, and Discord. They all gathered around. "Celestia, Luna, what's wrong?" Twilight asked them. "Julie woke up, but when I left she must've locked the door." Twilight stepped forward. Her horn glowed as the sound of the doors unlocking followed. When Twilight turned the doorknob, it didn't budge. Celestia tried, and she managed to open it about an inch, when it slammed shut made everyone jump. Something reflective and purple erupted from under the door. It sparkled in the hall's light, and was clear enough to see the doors, just tinted a different color. It had surrounded the door completely. "I told you to leave me alone." Julie shouted again. "Discord! Teleport in there and unlock the door." Celestia ordered. "You want me to just pop in there and do that, I mean she did say she want to be alone and-" "Discord, we need to get in there and help her. So please do this for us." Fluttershy told Discord. "Fine. But if she hits me with her boot or a chair, someone owes me a favor!" Discord snapped his fingers and he disappeared.


Discord reappeared on the other side of the doors, only to find that the purple light that was blocking the other side was blocking this side as well. "Oh darn! Now how am I going to open?" Discord asked himself. His ear flicked when he heard a quiet cry from behind him. He looked around the room. The bed was messy, but nothing else was out of the normal. Discord looked to the corner of the room, nearest to the bed, and saw Julie sitting on the floor. 'Better stay quiet.' Discord slowly tiptoed across the room and stopped in front of Julie. She let out another sob and sniffled. "Julie what's wrong?" Discord asked. Julie froze and stayed quiet. "Julie? I know you can hear me, I didn't stop time." Discord took a step forward. "Go away please, I wish to be alone." Julie's voice wavered. "And we wish to help you, you have to trust us to help you and do whatever we can, we are trying to help." Julie shrunk in place. "I trust you guys, but I want to be alone right now. So teleport out of here!" Julie snapped at Discord. "Now calm down." Discord pat her head. Julie flinched and threw her headpiece at Discord. He caught it in his eagle hand. "What is it with this crown? Only royalty wears these. You aren't a princess, you're too improper for that." Discord told Julie. She froze again. "Many secrets reside within, you, me, the princesses, heck maybe even Twilight and the others do too. Try and guess two of mine then!" Julie looked up at Discord, her face paler than the moon, with a smile on her face. A fake one. "You are a conjurer, and royalty. Are you that queen in that story?" Discord asked. "No that was my mother. She was the queen with the abilities, I'm just her daughter. So yeah, that headpiece makes me a princess. But I don't want to be involved in royalty, and so I went astray from the path of a princess. Sometimes I want to be normal. Thanks to destiny I can never be normal! Fuck destiny! Screw fate!" Julie cussed as she waved her hands around. "How in the world does a princess learn those words?" Discord asked Julie. "You'll be surprised how many times I had used them, and how many times they are written in fiction books I read over and over. Look if you want to help me, then at least tell me what you know about Sombra." Julie told Discord. "The only thing I know is that I let him rule the crystal empire, even he kind of scares me. He has a gray coat, a red horn, black mane, and for some reason he even has sharp teeth. Dark magic is what he likes to use, it doesn't cause chaos, just fear and death." Julie covered her right eye, and she rubbed her left eye as well. "I had a dream, Sombra had showed me a dark version of me. He wants to corrupt me, use my element against everyone else, use me, make me his key to gaining what he wants. He stopped my heart, and I couldn't breathe. I was scared, I wanted to cry, and now I just want to stay here until I can get home. One less problem to deal with I say!" Julie confessed to Discord. A worried expression crept onto his face as Julie covered her eyes again. "That sounds like a terrible nightmare. Wait. You have an element?" Julie pointed to her headpiece. "I think it's that gem, back home that was never there. Sombra said trust is keeping something in check, if he breaks it, he can control me. I think I represent trust, but I don't see it." Julie muttered as she held in a sob. "Trust, I don't see it either. Look, stop crying. I'll make you a promise since I am your friend." "I don't know you that well to call you a friend." Julie said to Discord. "True, if you don't know me, than I don't know you. Oh! I have an idea! If I can figure out your favorite . . . . flower! Favorite flower, if I know it by the end of the gala, then I can be there for you. I can be your best friend!" Julie smirked at the idea of Discord figuring out her favorite flower. "Every day you will show me a flower that you think I may like. Fail all of the nights, and no friendship. This sounds like a fun game I can get a laugh out of. Deal." Julie held out her hand and Discord shook it. Julie smiled.

"DISCORD! OPEN THE DOOR!" Luna shouted from the door.

"Oh, right. I blocked the door." I waved my hand over the door as I reached for the handle. "Sorry about that little panic attack." I opened the door and everyone rushed in. Rainbow Dash flew above me and checked my head. "What happened? Is your head okay? Why were you crying?!" Rainbow Dash questioned me as everyone else blurted out things I didn't bother to listen too. "Rainbow Dash I'm okay, I just had a minor panic attack I guess. I needed a good cry." Julie caught Rainbow Dash and placed her on the ground. "I had a very very bad dream, and it got to me. Just calm down everyone." I told them all. "Julie how did you block the door?" Celestia asked. I smirked and figured out a plan. I hugged Celestia and Luna, then I heard the gasps of the others. When I let them go, the three of us were standing in a large purple bubble. "The same way I did that. I haven't be truly honest, but let's just say I want to be normal for a while. Destiny must hate me." I bursted the bubble and it shattered into pieces, and then disappeared. "I'll tell you more about it, but something else needs to be said." I cleared my throat before saying anymore. "The very bad dream I had, was about Sombra. He said I was an element, he wants to corrupt me and use me I guess. I can't be an element, I'm not sugary sweet." I told them all as I took my crown back from Discord. "Julie, that's not what makes up an element. There is loyalty, honesty, kindness, generosity, laughter, and magic, these are the keys to harmony you can say. You are another 'key', we just have to figure out what you represent." Twilight explained to me. "Wait, if Twilight has a crown, and you have a crown, then that makes you a princess!" Pinkie Pie pointed out as I felt my heart skip a beat. "I believe that myself, I went into her nightmare and she told me." Luna said to Pinkie. "Julie are you a princess? I mean you do have a crown and I eventually became a princess. I am right?" Twilight asked me. "Well I already have a necklace that looks like the gem so I guess a crown is the next best thing and in my dreams I say all sorts of things!" I lied through my teeth. "But in your dream you told me you were royalty. Look it even looks like your necklace, the gem, same shape, same color." "What Luna is saying is true." The alicorn sisters told me. "Julie you did tell me you are a princess. Why not tell the others, they trust you to tell them things they need to know." I stood still as Celestia took my crown and necklace. She examined it with carefulness. "Julie, say something." Celestia demanded. I glared at the floor. "I was a princess okay! But I gave up my crown years ago! So I am not royalty! I am no princess, I'm not an heir! I'll be gone for five hours, peace out!" I told them. I snatched my necklace and took my crown back. I threw my crown at the wall and ran out the room.


Julie leaned against a tree, her head hung in shame, and her left hand clasped a death grip on a piece of bark she had torn off. Julie sighed and looked at the piece of bark. It was sputtering and smoking, the bark had turned charcoal black. "Dammit, still angry." Julie cussed under her breath as she dropped the piece of bark. "Maybe I need something to do to keep the rage away." Julie reached for her back pockets on her cargo belt, and pulled out a small dagger. "No one's here, so might as well." Julie stretched out her right arm which was now wielding the dagger. "Let's wait." Julie watched the scenery as the breeze blew through the trees. A single green leaf fluttered in the wind. Julie swung her dagger at it, and sliced it in half. She grabbed the halves and smiled. "Still as good as ever." Julie looked at her blade. "Best birthday gift ever." Julie said as she stared at the dagger's now long silver blade. "The perfect sword. Not too heavy, not light, but all the damage of a killing blow. It still gives me shivers." Julie smirked and let the wind take over.

Julie seemed to be dancing as the wind blew around her, swinging her sword and yield it for a blocking position and for a defense. She smiled as she found more fallen green leaves floated near her, she sliced them all, not even, but a perfect cut in each one.


Discord had not bothered to tell the others that he had found where Julie had gone too. He saw that she was enjoying herself after her one hour sulking session. 'The first step to getting a human friend might as well be seeing what she likes to do.' Discord thought when he found Julie. He remained seated on the tree top as he watched her dance with the wind. "A princess with a sword, what are the odds?" Discord told himself as he plucked another green leaf from teh tree and let it float toward Julie. After Julie sliced the leaf, she froze. She stood still, and then turned her attention to the tree she was under earlier. She dropped her sword and walked to it. 'What is she doing now?' Discord wondered. Julie started climbing the branches of the tree, and her head soon popped out of the top of the tree. She looked to the garden walls and saw the not castle part of the City of Canterlot.

Julie stared at the citizens of Canterlot. Many dressed fancy, few looked like the others. A few pegasi, some unicorns, earth ponies chatted amongst them. "That's what normal is for these ponies, talking with friends and family, shopping, and just enjoying the world. I can't fit in with them. They might think of me as a monster if they see who I really am." Julie told herself as she stared at her hands and frowned. "They accept magic, but who knows." Julie climbed back down the tree after that, but she did not pick up her sword. She walked over to a flower patch, it was full of purple tulips and a few yellow dandelions. She sat in front of it, crisscross and plucked a tulip from teh ground. "Why can't I get over the fact that this is real? Why can't I get over the fact that I'm happy to be alone? Why don't I feel happiness, even if it's all around me?" Julie asked a question for each petal she tore off. With the last petal left, she said something different. "Who else is pulling at the strings as I walk through this life?" Julie plucked the last petal, and put it on her head.

Discord felt sadden at the thought of Julie having these troubling thoughts. He snapped his claws and popped up behind Julie. He pulled the purple petal from Julie's hair and dropped it in front of her eyes. "Why are you sad?" He asked. Julie whipped her head around to see Discord standing behind her. "I want to be alone." She told Discord as she turned around. "You went alone all this time you know, I saw you sulking at the ground and your sword skills as well. Not bad for a princess." Julie growled. "I said I wasn't a princess. Gave up my crown and throne about two years ago." Julie said to Discord as she felt her hands shaking with new anger. Discord plucked a tulip from teh ground and handed it to Julie. "Is your favorite flower a tulip?" Discord asked. "It may be my favorite color, but it's not my favorite." Julie shoved the flower away and left it to fall into the summer grass. "Why are you so sensitive about being called a princess? It's your title after all and you have to serve it with best effort." Discord asked her. "I don't want to talk about it." Julie picked up the tulip and saw it wither away, and it turned to ash. "Calm down with the magic, you don't have to tell me, just say whatever you please." Discord lied. "I don't want to share and I won't fall for your manipulation!" Julie shouted at Discord. He flinched and sat beside her. "Okay so you saw my trick, but I want to know. I wish to be your friend and-" "I don't need friends right now, I want to be ALONE!" Julie turned to Discord and pinned him down. Her hands had a death grip on his neck and she glared at him. Her nail started stabbing his neck, almost to the point it felt like they would go into his neck, when Julie stopped and got off him. She took one look at her hands and she gasped. "I'm so sorry Discord! I didn't mean to hurt you! I just got really angry and- Bye!" Julie ran over to her sword, picked it up and ran away. She left Discord rubbing his neck. "Ow! Did she take out some fur or what!" Discord growled as he made himself a hand mirror. He looked at his neck and to his surprise there were marks left. Ten painful indentions in his fur. Each one in the order of Julie's fingernails. Discord poked at one of them and flinched. "Ow! How long are her nails! It felt like claws were stabbing me." Discord rubbed his neck and frowned. "At least she didn't hit me or anything. That girl has quite the temper."


At dinner I barely felt like eating. They were serving baked potatoes and other things that smelled good. I just stabbed at my potato and sat the farthest away I could from the others, but I was okay with sitting in front of Spike. The others chatted, even Discord had a nice conversation with the princesses while using a bit of his magic to help, and I just sat there. I finally took a bite of my potato, with it already getting cold, and forced myself to swallow it. 'I nearly hurt an innocent. I nearly caused a fatal cut. I can't eat when I know this might happen again.' My thoughts floated in and out of my head all throughout dinner as I tried to eat. When I couldn't swallow even a tiniest piece of the potato, I dropped my fork. "You okay Julie? You barely ate anything." Spike asked me. "I'm okay, I'm still a bit moody I suppose." I didn't bother put on a fake smile to show I was fine. I felt awful. I looked up from my plate and saw everyone's head shift. They took glances at me, they stared at me, they were worried about me. "So Twilight, what are you going to wear for the Grand Galloping Gala?" I heard Rarity ask. "Well you always plan our dresses, so surprise me!" Twilight told her. "Juliw are you going to wear a dress to the Gala?" Spike asked me. "I don't wear dresses. They're too frilly and puffy for my taste. Ples I don't even think I want to go to the gala." I answered Spike. "Julie, you must attend. It's a great event for us and since you are royalty you'll do fine!" Luna had overheard me, I wish she didn't. "I'm going to my room." I stood up and told them. I then started walking out the room.

I had finally walked into my room when I slammed the door shut and flopped onto the bed. I looked up and saw a box was placed on my pillow. I sat up and opened it up. I saw my headpiece in it, with a note.

"Julie, even if you refuse to live up to your title, you must take care of this.
It's an element remember. A princess has responsibilities, everyone does.
You can't give that up so easily you know. So do the mature thing and be
who you are. It's just a label as well, doesn't change who you are.

From,

Twilight"

I opened up my nightstand drawer and threw the crown in it. I slammed it shut and sat on my bed. "If they only knew. If they only knew." I let myself cry. I closed my eyes, and the image of Sombra as a shadow appeared in my head. "If you want me to crumble and bow to you, to become your little dark minion, then you have to take my light away." I opened my eyes and caught one of my tears. I saw the tiny flame sputtered and burnt out in my hand. It didn't leave a mark. "I dare anyone try and make me do anything." I felt the sobs beginning in my throat and let myself sob as well.


One hour later . . .


Everyone else had rooms not attached to the same wall as Julie. Only Discord heard the almost silent sobs. "Is she crying again? How many pity parties can she have in one day!" Discord got out of bed, walked out the door and grumply walked over to Julie's door. He knocked on it. "Julie are you crying again?" Discord asked. He heard the door unlock, and with the pale moonlight being the only light, he could see the door open just a crack, and saw Julie's amethyst colored eyes, with a hint of redness. "I am not crying and you can go to bed." Julie shut the door before Discord could say a word. "Julie I could hear you crying through the empty room!" No response. "That's it. I can't sleep with her crying all night." Discord tried the door, and it opened with ease. She didn't lock it. Discord walked in and saw Julie rocking back and forth in with her knees up to her face. She was on the bed with her boots messing up the blanket. "Julie stop crying and freaking out. Why are you doing this to yourself?" Discord walked in and went as far as her nightstand. "I'm haunted. Not by the paranormal." Julie's muffled voice told Discord. "What do you mean?" Discord asked. He took a step forward and poked Julie's head. "There is a reason why I don't like to be called a princess, a priss, or anything like that!" Julie said in a low voice. Discord fly over Julie and hovered around her. "You can tell me. I won't laugh or anything." Discord told Julie. "It's not a good story. Even it will bring a tear to Celestia's eyes. When I was younger, I wanted to be the perfect princess, the perfect heir. I have a twin sister, but I was born first. The oldest is the heir. So I dressed for the part. I wore frilly priss dresses, white, purple, even orange. I wore flats most of the time, and I had my hair down with my headpiece in my hair. As I grew to the age of ten, I had read almost all of the books in my family's library. I saw and read stories about the world outside the castle walls. There were people doing great things, inventing things. There were mountains taller than any tree, trees taller than any creature. I wanted to see the world, to be free I guess. But that's when a little problem occurred." Julie looked up at Discord. "My father had other plans. He wanted me to be married by the time I was eighteen, so he went out and found a boy around my age and brought him to me for my fourteenth birthday. He told me that we are to get to know each other and get along. I thought i was getting a new friend, I had only my sister and my mother to hang out with. When my father told me he was to be my husband in teh near future I flipped out. I didn't want to get married that soon and I wanted to pick out the one I would marry when the time came. Then we bot got into a fight and I told him I didn't want to be a princess anymore. Then he said something he would regret."

Julie covered her eyes and took a deep breath. "He told me that it was my duty to be the queen, don't let your heart get in the way of my decisions. He told me to do as I was told to do. He made it sound like I had no control over what I do and what I want to do. I went to my room and cried and nearly destroyed my room. After that I resented my father and his rules and wishes, I started to dress the way I wanted. As you can see I am still doing that." Julie pointed out her outfit.

"When I did that, my father grew anger. Every day we fought about even the tiniest things I did and what he told me to do.W AFter each one I would cry and be enraged, not even my mother or sister could calm me down. When my 16th birthday came around, I had spied on my father to see what he would do. He had found another boy for me to marry. This time it would be the day of my 17th birthday and not my 18th. The boy was evil, he used dark magic and he only wanted to use me and didn't care what happened to others. I confronted my father when he introduced the boy to my mother before showing me. I told him that I wasn't ever going to be married, the first step to that is never having my first kiss, and I told him to send the boy home. He stayed, and made my days worse than before. That all kept on happening everyday until I came here after a fight. I remember a flash and then the nightmare ended for now. Just remembering those days hurts me, being called a princess is worse than a memory. It got to me, but I should be more angry than sad. I'm sorry about nearly stabbing you early." Discord looked confused. "Why are you still sorry over that? I mean it still kinda hurts but it's water under the bridge for me." Discord stopped floating around Julie and sat by her. "I actually could've hurt you. When I get angry, I'm not myself. It takes control of me and sometimes I can't remember what I did after a rampage that was so bad. Some things get broken, some things get torn and I don't know what would happen if I were around people. In the garden that's what happened. Blinded by rage it's terrible!" Julie slammed her fist in the bed as she held in a sob.

I closed my eyes, and listened to the silence in my room. I could only hear my heart beat, and the breathing of Discord. "Why didn't you run away?" Discord asked me. "The day before my 17th birthday I will. By the time I can start my own life I'll be a legal adult at 18." I told him. "Well if we do find a way to get you back home you can just stay here and explore this world. I've seen a few things here and there, but it's a great adventure." Discord said to me. I shook my head. "My world has more wonders than you can count. More countries, more cities, more lands and oceans, I have to see it all." I opened my eyes and found that tears had welled up in my eyes. Before I could wipe them away they fell. "Fire for tears? Okay I'm one for not making sense but how it that possible!" Discord wiped away a tear that had rolled down my cheek as stared at it's tiny flame. "Magic! It does that. It doesn't burn a thing." 'If that were true.' I wiped my eyes. "No wonder there aren't any tear stains." I smiled at what Discord had said. I heard the chime of a grand father clock, I had forgotten I had one. I looked at it's hands, dinner had been after Luna rose the moon. It's lasted about an hour and a half for the others, and it's been an hour since everyone had gone asleep. It was near mid night. "Have I've been crying that long? Guess I should get to sleep. Thank you Discord." Discord was already at the door when I thanked him. "What are friends for." He said. "You are a good aquatinece, but you are not a good friend yet. Remember that deal. You don't have that much time." I told him. "I'm going to find that flower and when I do how about you do me a favor." "Deal's a deal Discord, don't full fill it I might shun you all together." I told him before he closed my door. I fell backward onto my bed and closed my eyes. "No nightmares Luna, just give me dark silence." I told myself as I felt myself drift away.

"You think that's so easy." I heard a voice in the back of my head tell me. "Shut up." I groaned.


Me: Done! Oh my gosh it took a while to get this done. My computer for some reason kept on crashing my google chrome and I didn't save before that happened to I was stuck on repeat for a while.
