I returned. I remember this place. This dark void as I stood in front of that door with Celestia and Luna on it. Just like before, I could see creatures with dark red eyes, as these creatures surround me and started to whisper to me. Sadly, I couldn't understand them.

The door in front of me started to glow as I need to open it as I started to walk to it…but the creatures started to grab me and hold me down but I kept on. These creatures' hands burned into me and I could smell the burning of my skin. So much pain…

"YOU BELONG HERE!"

"WITH US!"

"FOREVER!"

Growled the creatures as they started to bite me and cut me. The pain was too much for me…I was so close to the door but I gave in and lower my hoof. The creatures soon started to pile on top of me and I felt my body being torn apart…

"…I'm here…" called out voice…a voice I remember so well.

Before long, a strong gust of wind blasted away the creatures and I could see who saved me…it was her…WindStar…

"It's not your time yet Raynor." She spoke as she hover over me "Get up now!"

"Why should I?" I answered her "I should stay here….for my sins…"

"But your daughters…" she landed next to me and stared into my eye "Remember what I told you, so long ago?"

Before I could answer her, she opened the closed eye, which was the eye that she gave me before dying. I was shock as my closed eye opened and visions flooded my very mind…

I watched as HopeStar was born and was bought to me, who I was looking through WindStar eyes. Before long, I was watching as Hope started to walk but quickly fell and started to cry. WindStar came over to her and stroke her head and soon Hope stop crying and look at Wind…or me….or both of us. That smile…there was so much love, love that I never got from her, only hate.

Soon, I found myself with WindStar again but I was standing now…and crying.

"Please Raynor, I beg of you…" she whispered as tears fell down her cheeks "…bring back Hope's smile again…not for me but for her. Don't let her drop into this void of being…"

"She wouldn't…" I spoke as I cut her off "I swear WindStar!"

I turned around and watched as the door opened up and blinded me with a flash of light.

***

I opened my eyes and I could hear beeping noise. I turned my head and saw a heart monitor and other machines as I realize I was hook up to them. As I raised my hoof, to remove the wires from my body, I found something on it. It was Hope, as she rested her head on my arm and fast asleep.

"….daddy…" she whispered in her sleep as a tear fell from her eyes.
