Devoid
Chapter 5: Enter dreamscape
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe day was getting old now, it would soon be time for Luna to raise the moon. For understandable reasons Rainbow Dash was excited for the night. The night held a new purpose for her, for each night that passed held a possibility of confirming Pinkie Pie was still alive.
She knew Celestia would write to Twilight as soon as Pinkie Pie was confirmed alive. Then the others would be pretty much forced to believe her. She still heeded the warning that it wouldn't give away her location, unless she dreamed the location. Rainbow Dash decided to hit the hay.
***
Rainbow Dash awoke in a land she was unfamiliar with. It looked like whatever she would imagine Tartarus to look like. Maybe she had died. The landscape was a deep red, with an eerie orange sky. Around her were vast peaks and valleys, however, she appeared to be alone. This gave her a slight cause for alarm. What if some predator was lurking around, what if she had died and this was indeed Tartarus. She started to feel uncomfortable. She started to panic
She heard a very familiar voice behind her "fear not Rainbow Dash"
"Princess Luna, where am i? Am I dead?"
"Nay, your still alive, this place you won't recognize, I've never brought you here"
She felt irritated, Luna is taking her to eerie places when she was meant to be finding Pinkie Pie. But she tried not to show it, shouting at a pony princess was a bit disorderly, and considering Luna was once Nightmare Moon, a bit of a silly idea. "where are we"
"dream scape. I understand your the only one with hope for Pinkie Pie"
"I think so, but she's not round here. No pony is apart from us"
"there is much I can teach you of this place if you desire"
It was a bit of a bad time for jives but she decided she could afford this "Have you ever brought Twilight here"
"No I rarely let anypony see this place. Very few ever have"
"well it would be nice to know something that egg headdidn't. I'd like to know"
"This place, only I, dream guards and whoever I choose can visit, I physically have to set there dream waves to the proper frequency, there is no chance anypony could replicate it. It is the base of all dreams"
"you mentioned dream guards, are any here now?"
"Yes. Dream guards manifest" with that, probably thousands of ponies appeared. They looked like Luna's guards in Equestria "Dream guards immaterialise" with that they disappeared
"So you choose when they appear in ponies sight"
"yes, as I do with you, they can't see you unless I make you manifest"
"That...is...so...AWESOME. So I'm invisible. Can you see them when you tell them to imma...whatever it was"
"yes, and hear them, they can't see or hear you, much as you can't with them, but as royal guards, they mostly remain silent, that's why I can see and hear your, but they cant"
"This place is so cool. Anyway, how do we go about finding Pinkie Pie"
"This is a vast place. You may notice the landscape changes in altitude. These peaks and valleys represent dream emotion"
"So if the ponies are having happy dreams dreams, they will be on the hills, and sad dreams down the valleys?"
"Yes, but as I said, this is a vast place, there are towers that represent a dream where a pony is about to discover something about thereself. And pit falls where the pony is having a nightmare, you may remember the camping trip where I appeared in Scootaloo's dreams, did she tell you that"
"well, no, but I know she was having nightmares, she told me"
"I told her to, in a way, inspired her to more than told"
"so we might find Pinkie Pie here?"
"We may, but it's a difficult procedure. We must try and sense her dream emotion"
"Well, judging the fact she has never come back to Ponyville, I'd think she'd still be sad"
"then let us go to the valleys"
With that they made there way to the valleys. Having been visible from where Rainbow Dash first entered 'Dreamscape' it was only a short walk, lasting only about five minutes.
Luna spoke again "close your eyes Rainbow Dash" She complied "calling upon the dream of Miss Pinkimena Diane Pie"
