Twilight slowly opened her eyes. As she struggled to get up, she saw blue skies, and green lands. Multi-colored shapes everywhere, and blossoming flowers. The air was perfectly clean, and the temperature was great. She felt great too.

  "What happened?", said Twilight. "Where am I?"

  "Hey, Twilight!", said a terribly familiar voice. "You woke up!"

  "... Snips?"

  "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

  "Where is this place, and what are you doing here?... is this the purgatory?"

  "You could call it that way.", said Snails, passing by.

  "Snails? You're here too?"

  "All your friends are here.", said Snips.

  Twilight turned her attention to the world around her. Every single one of her friends was there, except for the chosen ones.

  "... I don't get it...", said Twilight. "Where's Spike? Trixie? All the others?"

  "They're still there, at the Fire Spring.", said Snips.

  "Let's show them this place! I'm sure they'll be as happy as I am!"

  "Now, Twilight, you can't bring your friends here. This is your world. It's the place you often see in your dreams."

  "But... wait. Who else is here?"

  "It depends on who you want to be here."

  "I want Trixie to be here! She's, like, my best friend, along with Spike!"

  "Too bad you can't."

  "That doesn't make sense at all!"

  "Hey, Twilight.", said Gilda, flying above the three unicorns' heads. "Are you gonna brave the Sea of Eden?"

  "The Sea of Eden?"

  "It's the scariest place in the world! Even scarier than the Everfree Forest! I dare you to cross it!"

  "Well... challenge accepted. Why are you doing this again?"

  "Well, since you're so strong, and all, you may have what it takes to cross the dangerous Kraken waters."

  "I didn't defeat you all by myself."

  "No problem. Hey, Stewie!"

  Another griffon flew by. He was bigger and stronger-looking than Gilda.

  "I want you to escort this lady to the Sea of Eden.", said Gilda.

  "YES, MA'AM!", yelled Stewie.

  "Don't you dare shout near me."

  "... yes, ma'am. So, Twilight... isn't it? Off we go to the Sea of Eden."

  "Wait... why am I doing this again?"

  "I don't know... you don't know. No one knows why we're doing this."

  On the way to the Sea of Eden, Twilight noticed a huge lot of familiar stuff around her. Pretty much everything she has seen in her adventure so far. It all went together to form a beautiful place... unfortunately, that didn't apply to the Sea of Eden itself.

  "This is where I go.", said Stewie. "Good luck."

  "What, you're gonna leave me here?", said Twilight.

  "Trust me, you'll make it."

  "... darn it."

  Twilight then stepped into the scary terrain. Suddenly, all happiness contained in her little mind-produced world was gone. All feelings of happiness and joy were replaced by feelings of angst and fear. The sea water was ice-cold, and it never seemed to warm up. Twilight could also notice that the floor was gone. The sea was bottomless, but she somehow managed to float all the way through. It was probably the worst place she has ever been in, to that moment. What felt like heaven itself now felt like pure hell. The only difference is that, instead of fire, there was an endless sea of cold water. She felt like crying, but all the fear contained in her mind kept her from weakening herself. Eventually, she saw a really familiar-looking face. It was that awful face that haunted her dreams for three whole nights.

  "You shouldn't have done that.", said the ghostly face. "I warned you."

  "Please, just let me go.", said Twilight, not holding her tears anymore. "I've suffered enough."

  "I will not let you go."

  "Please! I beg you!"

  "BISMILLAH! I will NOT let you go. You, lady, may have beaten Master Belch. YOU, lady, may have broken the Luna statue. YOU, lady, may have defeated the Starmen's leader. But YOU, lady, shall NOT underestimate the evil part of your brain. You CAN'T beat me. After all... YOU are the one who forced me into being."

  At the very next second, Twilight felt the greatest pain she has ever felt in her life. It was enough for her to wonder why she was still alive. That face stared into her weakened soul for what seemed like centuries.

  "You know...", said the ghostly face. "... if it weren't for your birth, I would never exist. I must thank you for being yourself."

  "Where do you want to go with all that demented talking?", asked Twilight, sadness replaced with rage.

  "Nothing. I just wanted to thank you... by my way. And my way is making you suffer. That's how I live."

  "There is absolutely no way you could be part of me."

  "What are you saying, dear? Admit it: you love me. I have seen you do terrible things. That only shows how much you appreciate me. Now, if only you could do those things more often."

  "Fuck you."

  "What did you say?"

  "FUCK YOU. I never did those things on purpose. You FORCED me to do them. I absolutely regret every single one of those moments."

  "Stop acting all strong-spirited, dearest... you're insulting me."

  "You deserve much more than just some plain insulting. You... or me, whatever... deserve death."

  "Okay, now you're just creeping me out."

  "Oh, now we're switching up? I would rather eat broken glass than support you anymore. I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork than join you on your wacky doomsday ride."

  The ghostly face turned from scary to scared. Everything around them turned back to its normal, happy state.

  "Discord's goal is to destroy you.", said the scaredy face, who turned out to be Princess Luna.

  "Wait, you don't want to kill me anymore?", asked Twilight. She also noticed that the water has finally warmed up.

  "You have proven yourself worthy. It's not worth killing such a determined pony such as yourself."

  "Well, thank you."

  "Listen carefully... everything in the universe could be destroyed by the hands of Discord... but he and his followers are also in trouble. The Apple of Enlightenment has foretold that Discord's attempt will fail. It is because of a unicorn named Twilight Sparkle... that's you!"

  "That's nice to know..."

  "Listen... free your mind and KNOW what you must do! Your destiny has already been decided."

  "But... where do I go now?"

  "You know, deep within the reaches of your mind. Think about something. What's the first thing that comes to your mind?"

  "... Pinkie Pie... for some reason."

  "You must go to the Pinkie Valley then. You'll get something new there."

  "Thank you, for making me figure this out."

  "You're welcome. Now, it's time to wake up."

  "What do you mean?"

  "Soon, you'll wake up back at the Fire Spring, with your friends, and this world will cease to exist. This is all a dream."

  "A dream? Looked more like a nightmare..."

  "Hahaha! Well... anyway, it's time to wake up."

  "Goodbye... and thanks again."

  Twilight then fell asleep again, this time to wake up back at the real world, where her friends were waiting for her. Next Chapter: Final Chapter (I'm Happy) Estimated time remaining: 23 Minutes
