What up viewers?
Just a little heads up before you get into the story:
- I created this when I was 12 y/o, so the plotlines and characters may seem... juvenile
- As fanfic only allows us to publish the two fandoms that this story occupies, I should mention that aside from FMA (Fullmetal Alchemist) and MLP: FiM (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic), the Dreamscape also includes Soul Eater, Steven Universe, and HTTYD films (How to Train Your Dragon).
- The steads mentioned in the dialogue are anthropomorphic: meaning they wear clothes, walk upright on two hooves, and have hands like normal humans. However, they still have unique qualities like unicorn horns, pegasi wings, as well as a luscious mane and fur that coats their bodies
- please try to take it easy on me in the comment section, I'm still fairly new to this...
EPILOGUE
Dreamscape
The world within the tapestry weaved by the goddess Arachne and painted by the god Eclipse.
And there came a day, unlike any other, when Dreamscape's heroes, banded together to create a new era of peace. The alchemist brothers, the steads of fellowship, the reaper of souls, the gemstones, and the chief of dragons. When the sun dawned that day, the world shook, it knew that a new force had arisen in the name of peace and justice. Vanquishing darkness, strengthening the weak, and bringing hope to despair, there seemed to be no limit to the good they brought.
And eventually, when the world settled, their alliance was disbanded: the alchemist brothers had set out to start a school, as did the steads and chief, the gems ascended to the stars, and the reaper returned to her land, to continue offering order throughout the world.
But in time, the darkness returned, bearing the name of Iniquity. Descended from the darkness vanquished by the heroes, the Iniquity sought to undo all that they had done. But the heroes did not allow them to do as they please; but sadly, the darkness was always one step ahead of them. They had already claimed the lives of the chief and the gems, but the remaining heroes would not let their comrades sacrifice be in vain. For as long as they were there to train a new alliance, a new dawn would once again shine over the dreamscape.
So it was written, the Academy of the Trinity read that same prophecy to their students every year, reminding them that even if things seemed dire, hope would always shine again.
Elsewhere….
Far off into the mountains, in a tomb of absolute darkness, locks were being undone. While the darkness surrounding it shrouded its location, but whoever was undoing it did not need its sight to release them. As the latches opened, a voice rang throughout the cavernous tomb.
'When the piercing light has destroyed the darkness, 8 souls will remove its brightness. Bathe the land with the blood of the good, destroy the locks that have long since stood. And when the eldest light has fallen to your might, the land shall bathe in everlasting night. But be wary of this journey you've undertaken, should a shade of dark see that light, you shall be forsaken.'
And with that, the lock's prisoner had awoken, a massive blaze shook the tomb, incinerating the prisoner's savior.
