Prompt: Mind over matter
Overview: unknown to Emerald Shine, the utopia she sees is not as it all seems. Everything is happy and shining. There hasn't been a problem in a long time. Everything is perfect. Or so it seems... at night, she dreams of these fearful creatures, causing her distress. Almost as if she recognized these creatures. Can Emerald Shine find out what is wrong with the world she knows and sees? And most of all... can she escape?
Emerald Shine: a middle aged mare living in a small town at the base of the canterlot mountain. Having a green mane and tail, a green coat and green eyes, it's easy to see why she is called Emerald Shine. Her cheerful attitude makes her shine too.
Story takes place shortly before the Canterlot wedding.
for those writing, i intended this prompt to have the antagonist be the changelings. the "Reality" is a dreamstate that is induced by the changeling's cocoon to harvest love.
