As I literally hit the hay, my mind went in 'dream mode', meaning that I fell asleep instantaneously. Slowly realizing that, I looked around. There was nothing but mist at first. Then, the moon appeared, followed by a lake, and a forest. I knew exactly where I was. It was the place inside me where I could be at peace.
I went to the shore of the lake, conscious that I was in a lucid dream. I closed my eyes for a moment, thinking of my former body. When I opened them, I was a human again. Then, a sound. The sound of a twig snapping. Normally, I would not mind since I was near a forest, but that place had no wildlife. "Qui êtes-vous?" I said in French, not realizing. "Ne crains rien." somepony replied, still in French. "I come into thy dream to help answer thy questions." She then came into my view. She was a dark blue alicorn with a sapphire blue flowing mane and tail. "Should I know you?" I asked jokingly. "I am Princess Luna. I come to thou to speak." she answered.
"Well, now that you are here, let us talk." I said. I sat on the shore of the lake, signaling Luna to come. She came, and sat down. "Jean-Philippe, I..." she started, but I interrupted her. "How come do you know my name? My real name?" "Easy. I read it in thy mind." she answered. "Please. I do not want anypony to read my mind. And call me 'Flaming Shadow'." "Very well then, Flaming Shadow. Do thou know why thou art here?" she asked with a small grin.
"I must admit that I do not." I answered after a few second. "Thou art in Equestria because of an important mission." "Mission, heh? What kind of mission?" I asked in answer. "That is not what thou need to know. Thou wilt soon enough." she answered back.
Staying silent, I laid on my back, looking at the perfect starry sky. I closed my eyes again, but this time to let go of all the stress I had. "Thou must know that there is a challenge that thou art the only one capable of vanquishing." Luna said after a few minutes. "Thou wilt have to choose between Equestria and thy homeland." "I will be ready." I said.
"Sweet dreams." she said while vanishing. I then closed my eyes again, enjoying the moment. I rarely had a lucid dream, and I wanted to enjoy it. Thinking deeply, I summoned a few animals to make the atmosphere more relaxing.
Letting the atmosphere do its job, I started falling asleep. Then, everything around me got silent, like frozen in time. I got up, moved to the other side of the lake, and laid down again, looking at the sky. I then saw Luna in the sky. "Remember. Thy friends wilt always be there for thou." Luna said as she slowly vanished from my dream. Leaving me floating in the darkness as I waited for the next dream.
