Act I - Scene One:Regression

The ride to Canterlot was quick than she expected. Twilight stepped out of the royal  carriage, her mane and coat fixed up with a more presentable apperance than when she woke up that night. As she trotted into the castle courtyard and into it's interior, she looked up to the grand stairs to see Princess Luna, waiting for her. The unicorn bowed to the Princess of the Night and looked up,smiling.

'Princess Luna, I'm glad to see you,I haven't seen you in a long while", she said.

The dark purple alicorn stepped towards her, her translucent violet mane flowing beside her. "Ah,fere Twilight Sparkle, Why as thou come here in Canterlot on surprise notice?", she asked.

Twilight got up and sighed slowly." Well Princess...I came to talk to you about something." The princess looked at her with a caring look,"Why thou come to me?Thee always goes to my sister to tell your troubles.",said Luna. Twilight continued with her telling her problem to Luna. "You see, Maybe you could help me, knowing something about more spells dealing with dreams and the subconcious.Could we discuss it in a different place?". Princess Luna nodded and they both walked up the stairs and into one of the castle rooms.

It was a standard room. A small couch, an enormous window looking outside to the city of Canterlot, a small desk, and a bookself. Both the princess and unicorn sat down on the couch and looked at each other, Luna seeing the distress in Twilight's eyes.

"Why art thou want to know about dreams and the subconious?", she asked. Twilight looked at her and led out a reprise of worry. "I've been having these dreams..I keep hearing voices of ponies I've never heard from, cries and screams, an image of a house. I want know what they mean.".

"Usually strange dreams that happened frequently art memories surpressed.",she said, showing she was learning more Mordern English.Twilight nodded, "I thought that too. I need to know though...how can I find out.I've tried to find a spell about if they could be surpressed memories but nothing..", she said with a gloomy tone.

Princess Luna looked at her and put her hoof on her muzzle, thinking slowly. And then her eyes enlightened with an thought bursted through her mind.

"I have an idea dear Twilight!",she exclaimed. With her glowing horn, a book came off the bookshelf and levitated it infront of her. She flipped through pages and stopped at one, her eyes fixated on the page and moving back and forth before stopping,putting the book back. She looked at her curious friend and smiled. "I shalt preform a spell that could help thine subconcious see those so called  supressed memories.",she proclaimed, before laying her down on the couch and sitting on a chair."Thou has heard of the "Regression spell"?,she asked.

Twilight's mind began to slowly remember that spell.Regression Spell..It was a type of spell used to hypnotize ponys to help them remember certain memories linked to a past life. But..was it possible her dreams represented a past life of hers?

The unicorn nodded without saying a word. Luna nodded and said,"I will use the regression spell on thou and see if thee had a life yores.It will be tricky, but it will help seek thine's memories. Shall want me to do this?". Twilight looked at her, inquiring what could be done. She didn't do if the regression spell would work, maybe her dreams weren't memories,but..they did seem frequent, and it felt familiar hearing those voices..One sounding like a tomboyish pony, a quiet,timid mare, and a very,violent sounding voice that didn't sound like a pony. After a few minutes, Twilight looked at Luna and nodded her head.

"Okay Princess, Use the spell",she stated in a worried, yet stoic tone.

Princess Luna nodded and positioned herself, closing her eyes and chanting strang words. Her horn radiated and let out a glowing orb, similar to the one Twilight released during the spell she used to give Rarity the translucent butterfly wings. The orb began to float next to her, moving back and forth, back and forth.

"Close thy eyes and relax.Keep breathing in and out. As thou focuses on thy breathing, imagine a light going through thy body. Thou let your felt fall into a relaxed state of Mind, and drift into your subconcious. As I count from ten to one, you will go into that state of conciousness, and see those surpressed memories.", she said.

Twilight began to drift as she counted slowly..

Ten..Nine...Eight..Seven..Six.

She felt her mind drift into that safe place,feeling that illuminating light Luna talked about.

Five..Four..Three..Two..

"If at any time thou hast to come back, all thou must do is open thy eyes.One..".

And she drifted.

~*~

She felt the light surrounding her.

She was free from the fear and pain.

Twilight's subconscious mind spinned through time, rejoining her hidden past once again.

Was it real?Was this really happening?Did Luna really send her mind to remember with the regression spell?

She began to feel it..but she was so amazed by it all, she was lost in the haze of a so called 'dream.'

She drew closer and closer..She could see it. The scene of a small town, slowly arriving,blurry, but she was close to her arrival.

As she got closer,a name came out of her mind.A name that sounded so familar..

Fluttershy.
