This story is a sequel to Azure Memories
As Sapphire recovers her memories, she is tormented by the visions of monsters that nopony has ever seen before. As she wondered what experiences has she suffered through in her youth that created these nightmares, she struggles to continue to piece her memory back together, yet one nagging thought remained in her mind. Why do all these beasts seem so familiar to her?
It is recommend to read Azure Memories first.

Neat! Sapphire's tale has been getting a lot of love lately. Glad to see the sequel out so soon!
And the sequel is already up!
Woot! Looking forward to more of this!
a Xartik?
This portion shouldn't be italicized as it's not actually part of the dream sequence. It's a description of something that happened before the dream.
Seems things are changing for Sapphire...wonder who is disappointed with her? Perhaps the monster from her memories?
I don't recall her wielding Big Mac's level of strength before...Where did THAT come from???
Luna needs to stop dicking off and get busy with the jigsaw puzzle that is Sapphire's mind. Shit's starting to get serious and she still doesn't have a clue about how to deal with it.
Was she that strong before? Or is something else happening?(Besides the creepy ghost style stalker I mean)
Nice chapter, good work.
What I'm wondering about, is which monster is worse.
For a moment, it almost seemed that it was Luna who was shouting in her memory--
--boy, wouldn't that have been a twist--!
because that would've meant it Azure had witnessed Luna fighting someone
which only happened before Luna's banishment
Thankfully, it was just a misread.
was it??
So now Twilight can add Azure's stomach right alongside Pinkie's Pinkie Sense to the "Do not touch" category.
Nice chapter, good work.
That day, Twilight may be forgiven if she fails to help someone. But Pinkie, no, Pinkie is guilty. Actually, why did she have such bad luck that day? What curse was that?
Right. If she's possessed by something singular and active, she shouldn't know any cure routes this early, so that it won't exploit that knowledge to stop her from being cured, and might make some mistakes from not knowing, that work against it.
Today's forecast, cloudy with a chance of terrors.
I was thinking Sapphire was from the period of Sombra and the Chrystal Empire. But is she instead a pre-unification pony?
Birds can't see glass...
Neither can pegasi....
I can think of one reason for her reaction about clouds.

Fear of Clouds...Is there even a name for such a fear?
(Quick trip to Mr. Google)
Huh what do you know, it actually exists: Nephophobia
So Sapphire has acrophobia that mean fear of height well that just normal fear or did something to her that make PTSD on height.Oh maybe it a specific phobia that she scared of cloud at high altitude or it maybe without she stood anything but without ground that maybe she afraid of this ?
7827922 Clouds may be just side effect. It could be a generic PTSD that lowered her overall tolerance to fear, no?
In which case they should stop with the tests and heal her, then test her
yes, it still might be the opposite, that fear of clouds came first, and the ghost kept giving her a cloud nightmare at night.
But it's also possible that being regularly spooked by ghost made her fear heights more.
7828847 Her PTSD maybe caused by her fall from high building that near with the cloud and the cloud monster push her or she afraid the cloud monster and back away from them until she fall.Or the worst ridiculous thing is the nightmare cloud took her up into the skies and let her go and fall through the cloud that caused her traumatized or is it that Sapphire took a air balloon and go into the skies and she saw the cloud monster and fall off from her balloon.This is maybe of what happening during her traumatize experiance and we can excluded her walking cloud spell is expire and she fall off through the cloud are excluded since she don't know that spell at all but not asking the air balloon mean she already know it in her past.This is just conjecture until we read the author intention of why Sapphire got acrophobia and what happened to her in that time and If I right ,that mean my logic are at least okay of what happen to her of that time.
Really interesting choice of words there... so the source of her fear was most definitely not normal clouds.
Nice chapter, good work.
7830891
Only thing I can think of is volcanic hot ash that's deadly just ask the residents of Pompeii.
The fact she said that was interesting as she could only know by
A) Someone told her about the danger.
B) She saw it happen or its after effects.
C) Was common knowledge where she was from.
Just my thoughts.
Yo, nice chapter.
I can't wait until that... "insert future explanation for blue thing sapphire's head here" gets too eat those words and is sapphire turns out better then the mare she use to be!
Sapphire: "Veritas...Veritas...I've heard that name before."
Veritas: "Of course you have, my dear."
Sapphire: "You wouldn't by any chance be related to a Queen, Teague, Swann, or Luthor?"
Veritas: "ohbuckme! sheknowstoomuch!"
Why is this a sequel? There was literally no reason to start a new story. Nothing was resolved in the last story, hell there wasn't even an ending it felt like just another chapter.
7873877 It look like a cliffhanger to me
Well, this is interesting.
Truth huh? I got the feeling he is part of her own subconscious given form.
Either that, or her Zanpaktou!

Nice chapter.
Twilight you should know better then top use that phrase.
Indeed...
Nice chapter, good work.
Spike the dragon: "Multiple variables are very much brough into question with this statement, Twilight....
"1) Pinkie was very likely insane to begin with
"2) Are you absolutely certain that the device had no affect on Pinkie?
"3) If it DID have an effect, how would you ever be able to tell the difference?
"4) Please define "fine"...."
Twilight Sparkle: "uhhhh...."
Hmmm... Ok, I'll pick the craziest idea out of my head and fling it at the screen:
Test Sapphire on different clouds of different colors?
Veritas and Discord need to become drinking buddies. Just sayin'...
Ha. Just wait until you see the small portions and the bill.
Sapphire's blackhole of a stomach.
FOOD!? WHERE!?
Great chapter
she will utterly disappointed with the high-class 'three hoof' restaurants
Always excited for food.
Where've you been? I love your stories!
8642838
Even with the photo shoot, she'll be leaving Canterlot with less money than she'll be taking with her!
Heh, I had missed this little gluton.
Nice chapter, good work.
Okay Tia what are you doing?
Voices in your head telling you things you don't notice is both a good thing and a bad thing. A good thing since you get a little extra perspective and a bad thing when that perspective actively works against you.
While I like this chapter, I find it a little hard to believe that any of those restaurants would turn her away with her modeling carrier.
Tia wants to find the magic of Sapphire's metabolism
When in doubt, DONUTS!!!!!!!
Okay as funny as their reactions they do have a point. How much does she have to eat to get a temporary gut?
And Sapphire you will find out why soon enough.
Sapphire do us all a favor and and instead of jumping out the window, throw him out the window.
Drop kick him! Stuff his face in a cake! Bring him to your next meal! Hell i'll settle for kicking him out a window.
JUST DO SOMETHING HILARIOUS TO THE GUY!!!
Sapphire Eat APPLE PIE.
They have to put this to the test. We need something like that whole Apple Family food sample. We need to see how much it takes until she gains a pound.
