Chapter 2: Twilight Sparkle

I was already late as it was! I needed to hurry. Spike was off doing, well, something, and I was late for the reading session at the castle of the two sisters!

Spike was my back was dosing off, this annoyed me for some reason, but I ignored it. I slid to a halt, an idea comming to mind. Spike flew off of my back and landed in front of me with a THUD. "Ow... Twilight you ok?" Spike asked. I smiled, "I completely forgot I could teleport in the rush!" Spike rolled his eyes, smiling and put his claw on my hoof. I cast the spell

I remateralized in the castle, right in front of Fluttershy, who was reading a book about animals, as usual. She jumped with a scream and hovered in the air with her wings. Once she saw it was me the look of fear in her eyes dissapeared, and she came back down.

"Sorry Fluttershy!" I exclaimed. She smiled, "it's alright Twilight."

Spike saw Rarity and without a word ran over to her, and she greeted him, although I couldn't hear what they were saying. Fluttershy sat back down and started reading her book. It was titled "Animals in the ocean." I had heard about the ocean, but never seen it myself.

Pinkie ran over to greet me. "Hey Twilight," she chirped. I smiled. "Hey Pinkie." I looked around for the other two ponies "Where are Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack?" Pinkie Smiled, like she always does. "Oh, they went off exploring, they said that they haven't seen everything yet!"

I rolled my eyes, "They're probally having another bet or something."

I Picked up a book. It was about supernatural things. I decided that some non-fiction would be good for me every once and awhile. I spent hours on the book, marveled at some of the crazy things in there.

When I looked up everyone had left. I must of gotten lost in the book and didn't hear them leave. I put the book up and set off to find Spike.

"Spike!" I called multiple times, never with an answer. I assumed after awhile that he went with Rarity, so I headed out. I didn't mind using my teleportation spell, I wanted to enjoy the walk home.

It had only been about five minutes, maybe less, when i got out of the everfree forest. I must of been going faster than I thought. So I headed straight home.

When I got there, the castle was gone, it like my treehouse had been destroyed. My mind started racing, and asking questions, mostly who and how. then I turned around and the prefectly fine ponyville before, was in no better condition than my castle.

An explosion went off in canterlot.

I saw the mountianside captial fall, broken and in ashes. and then I saw some things. It was blurry, and i felt a tear slip down my cheek. Comming at me was a familiar face.

Rainbow dash charged at me, her eyes looked like Sombra's all of those years ago.

"Twilight?" She said.

"Twilight wake up!" Applejack's voice.

I turned around, to see Applejack standing there, no better than Rainbow Dash. The other four soon followed, all looking like they had been corrupted by Sombra's dark magic. They all were telling me to wake up.

"W-wake up?" I asked. They all dissapeared. Everything dissapeared and was replaced with the castle of the two sisters. The 5 of them were hovering over me, and so was Spike. They were all normal.

It was all a dream.

That dream was still fresh on my mind, and everything spooked me, I felt like Fluttershy must always feel, although she isn't as bad as she used to be. I didn't know what to think of it, so I decided to confront Luna about it.

As I tried to sneak out the door, Spike caught me. "Twilight? Where are you going?" He asked. I smiled at him, trying to reassure him it was nothing. "I just had a weird dream, and I want to go see Luna about it" I confessed.

He just shrugged his sholders and went back to bed.

I was in my chambers, alone. I stared outside, where Celestia had risen the sun. It was day time, the most lonely time for me. I looked around at multiple paintings some art ponies had done of me and given to me as a preasent.

I saw a few books I started, but never had finished. And some notes I had received, some I had read, some i had not.

Then there was a single knock. A second later two more. Then one. The knocking code for another royal. The only royal pony who ever visits me is usually my sister, and sometimes Candace, so I expected one of those two.

"Come in!" I exclaimed. The door opened and the purple princess of friendship came in. This confused me, she never visited me, having her own duties far away, and her friends who always needer her.

"What can I help you with, Twilight?" I asked. She looked troubled. "Luna I need help understanding a dream." She replied. "Please tell me about it then"

She told me about how she saw everything getting destroyed, and her friends were corrupted by Sombra's magic. I didn't know is this was a vision, or just a bad dream, I couldn't know for sure unless I went into her dreams myself.

"I'll visit your dreams tonight, ok?" She looked relieved and smiled. "Thank you Luna!"

"Anytime" I replied.

It was that night, and I could tell Twilight went to bed. "Here we go," I mumbled to myself, and inserted myself into Twilight's dream.

I opened my eyes. I was next to Twilight, she noted my existance by flicking her ear, and pointer her head at something in front of us. I looked foward to see Twilight's castle in shattered ruins.

"This is how it started last time." She said softly. Then she turned around. I did the same

All of Ponyville was just as bad as her castle, some even worse. Then there was an explosion. Canterlot fell off of the mountian it sat on. Then there was a pony. Twilight's rainbow colored friend, except darker, and has the eyes of Sombra.

She smiled "Join us Twilight.." She mumbled, just loud enough for myself and Twilight to hear. "Us?" I asked. Twilight's other friends suddenly appeared around us, all saying the same thing, all with the same corruption.

Twilight was silent up untill now. "This is diffrent, I had woken up by now."

A familiar figure came out of the shadows to the left of me. "Oh Luna, your poor thing." Celestia calmly expressed. "You don't know the joy of being like us." Celestia looked the same as the other five.

I was silent. I had forgotten why I came here in the first heart began to race. Fear? No I could not be afriad, could I?

Then a flash of light.

The 6 Ponies around us fell down, knocked out. We looked up to the source, and saw only silhouettes. One alicorn. One unicorn. One pegasus. All of them were unrecognizable. Unknown ponies. New ponies.

The dream ended.

Twilight visited me the next day a few hours after we woke up. "So was it just a bad dream? or a vision?"

The troubled look on my face gave it all away. She sighed sadly. "A vision then."

I nodded at the half statement, half question. "The question is when will it happen?" Twilight went home after a few hours of discussing, the main question being about those three ponies. Unanswered questions.
