He Who Loves Nightmares

The Journey

The Journey

        I can tell she hesitated before following me out onto the exterior balcony. There, I concentrate on gathering my magic, my sight turning blue as they always did when I call upon my magic. I channel my magic, my horn glowing before the glow also envelops my entire form. "You seriously aren't thinking of trying to levitate yourself all the way there, are you?" she asks incredulously. My horn sparks before a second glow wraps around the first; an overglow. I slowly lift into the air, keeping myself steady.

"Not even the most powerful wizards could levitate themselves for long!" I continue my slow rise while she grows impatient. She lifts off, leaving me behind with "This is taking too long!" I ignore her, soon far enough away from the castle. I drive my magic into a fireball spell and, with a boom, I fly forwards, wrapped by the spell.

"As I pass by Nightmare Moon, I ask, "What was that?!" I can guess that only ticked her off but she catches up quickly, keeping pace with me as she begins to ask questions.

"Why are you doing this?" she starts. "Why are you helping me?"

"I'm helping because you contain something very important."

"What do you mean?" I guess that she's raised an eyebrow at me. I ignore the temptation to look back, lest I mess up my flying.

"You'll have to figure that out yourself." Silence follows for a while before she speaks again.

"You are rather considerate for one doing evil."

"That's because my purpose is good." My ears bend back as I predict what she says next.

"The actions define the pony."

"Along with the purpose," I spit back.

"That wasn't true for me."

"Except that you are here now." She stays silent for the rest of the flight, hopefully thing over things; it will help to make her realize who I want and why I want her.
