Darkness

It's all around me. It has been here for....  I wonder for how long. I have lost all sense of time, maybe I don't even exist... What's Life? What's death? I have a feeling that I once knew the answers to those questions... or maybe not. I can’t really remember

Darkness

It's all around me. It has been here for.... I wonder for how long. Is there anything else out there? What am I? I can't remember... or do I? I think I do... was I asleep?  But for how long? What is my purpose? Why have I awoken now? I need to think.

Darkness

The Darkness, it's still here, never-ending. I'm starting to doubt that there was ever something else. But I know there once was. I have regained a lot of my memories, I’ve been gradually remembering for the past... years? Days? Hours? I don't know. Time seems to be irrelevant here. I wonder, can I escape from this Darkness? Maybe there is a way. I need to think about it.

Darkness

Darkness, that’s all there is. I've been thinking … A lot. I've invented a method to try and keep track of time. If I’m correct it has been 15 long years since I’ve awoken from my slumber. I do not have a body. At first I thought I might have one, but that I can't feel anything. But that does not seem to be the case. I'm starting to go insane. There is nothing here. I can't do anything! I need a way to escape this Darkness. This needs more thought...

Darkness

It's still here. Everywhere around me... The Darkness. I can't stand it. I want to destroy it! Shred it to pieces! Was that a flicker of light? No... There is no light here! There has never been! Why am I here? Why do I exist? I just want to kill myself, to end this dreary existence in the dark! But I can't, there is no body to destroy. I hunger for life, a body of my own. I need to find some kind of conscious life forms, it's my only chance to escape this cruel fate! Wait... there was that small flicker of light again?!? This needs further investigation...

Light?

I have found something. The Light source I saw around a month ago was real! It seems to be a Planet surrounded by stars, surrounded by Darkness. There is life on this Planet, maybe this is the chance I’ve been waiting for so long to get. I need to observe it...

Light!

I've learned a lot. This planet is a welcome change from the darkness. It's inhabited by a variety of different Species. From what I’ve learned, there are griffons, zebras, horses, mules and many more! But the most interesting of them all, are the Ponies. There are 3 different kinds; Unicorns, which have power over something they call magic, Pegasi, who have the ability to fly, and earth ponies, which have strong bodies and are connected to nature. But by far the most interesting ones are the three Alicorns. They possess an extraordinary amount of the magic on this planet. Maybe I can use them for my purpose, maybe my journey will finally come to an end. I have to experiment. I need to see if I can manipulate this Planet. I need to get a body....

Royal Palace, Canterlot

Luna was gazing at her Stars. It was an eventful night, the nobility of Canterlot had, once again, started a major quarrel about how many taxes they should have to pay. They are loyal to the Palace and would do just about anything, if one of us asked them to, but as soon as it gets to money, everypony is on its own.

"Luna?"

Somewhere behind her, a voice called out for her attention. She decided to ignore it, as she had no intention of discussing the events of the night any further with anyone. She was sick of the topic.

"Luna, there you are."

Shit. So much for avoiding ponies...

"I thought you might be up here. Whenever something bothers you, you come up here to look at your sky."

"You always had a talent for finding me, Terra."

Terra was a big black alicorn, with a green mane, that was, just like Luna’s and Celestia’s, flowing in the mystical winds of the power they all possessed. But while Luna and Celestia’s were controlling the Sun and the Moon respectively, Terra was the one who controlled the Earth itself. He was the one who controlled everything from the seas to the woods and their wildlife at the same. It was a befitting role for him, as he was the most powerful of the three. Calm like the earth itself, and kind like nopony else.

"There is no talent involved in finding you, as you always go to the same spot." Terra said, with a smirk on his face.

"You may be right with that. But tell me, why did you come and find me today? You never do something without a reason."

At this question the smirk on Terra's face vanished. He put on a serious expression. He stared up into the night skies and said:

"The animals are behaving weird, Luna. They feel that something is coming, and so do I. I don't know yet what it is, if it's good or bad, but I know that it's coming"

Luna let this information sink in. This was most likely nothing to worry about, as Terra had feelings  like this pretty often. Sometimes it was just some minor thing, like an earthquake, or something of the sort. She decided to play it off.

"Why do you always come to us and tell us? Most of the time it's nothing that should worry us at all."

Terra finally turned and looked Luna into her eyes.

"I'd rather be safe than sorry. If it would not be too much to ask, I’d like for you to watch the sky, and see if there is something unusual."

Luna frowned at this.

"Why should I watch the skies? All of your predictions have something to do with the earth itself. What's different this time?"

"It's just the feeling that I get, maybe I’m wrong. We will see in due time what exactly is wrong. But look, the sun is already rising, which means Celestia is awake. I will go and tell her too. You go and sleep, after a night like this, you'll need it."

While saying this, Terra stood up, and started walking away, leaving Luna alone to her thoughts.

"We will see in due time..."
