My eyes were almost too blurry to read by the end of this. F manly pride. I'm crying.
Sir, I don't see a need for an excuse. You put out a totally new short story yesterday.
This is really heartwarming. I wonder, does Cadence draw power from healing hearts?
Wow, now I'm totally thinking up some weird stuff. I'm imagining that Cadence (and through her the Crystal Heart) kindof gets her power through drawing out the things that make the heart hurt. She magically entices broken-hearted people to come to her, so that she can draw out the pain, which she uses to get stronger.
And by getting Dim to bare his soul and talk about his past, she's able to get more power over/from him, which gives her more energy to spend on protecting him.
DIm, buddy.
I would advise you do a full genuflect to Cadence when you reach her. She's saving your hide right now.
The wound has been lanced and at least some of the poison released now some healing can begin

Cadance draws power from love to perform her healing arts.
The pink flashes are clues.
Blackbird was right about what happened to Dim though but his view is the one more readily accepted
Hmm the part about the cows... given that cows here talk is quite more chilling...
Found a little typo:

It was meant to be.
emotions... DIM is leaking
And at long last the colt went down to the river and let the hurt fall like rain to be swept away by the water.
Okay, so this was lovely and something Dim desperately needed.
However, this...
...triggered my "mind rape" alarms pretty badly. Dim: the ultra-paranoid super-vizard, doesn't care that someone's remote spellcasting in his head? And Cadance's name is being blocked, so he promptly decides to trust the pink voice/magic in his head whose (presumed) owner he is incapable of naming?
It just feels pretty sketchy (the inexplicable apathy and not knowing the name "Cadance") and I'm not sure whether this is the "damage" Pink keeps talking about that his mother and Grogar did to him, if Pink is lying to him and/or hiding things from him with good intentions, with bad intentions and/or controlling him, or is even Cadance at all.
That was a beautiful chapter.

At that moment, he honestly couldn’t be bothered to care. He was too exhausted, too worn down, too beaten up.
It’s called mental exhaustion affecting your judgment, and it makes folk do things or react to things in ways they normally would not.

He declared his allegiance. His life is hers.
Oh dear, Dim is leaking. Poor guy...

Fair enough.
Is the "incapable of putting a name to the pink pony princess" thing also mental exhaustion, or something different?
Cause thinking about it; I don't think he's referred to Cadance by name throughout this and the prequel.
(Pretty sure he's used Luna and Celestia's though. A countermeasure by his mom? If you can't name or directly refer to the only one who can heal you it makes it pretty hard to get healed or to decide to seek them out for healing in the first place, perhaps?)

I can’t answer that. Perhaps the next chapter might hold clues...
I love how we are taught that "Dim was this terrible predator", when in fact we get it hammered in that "Dim was just another Victim". The more we learn about Dim's mother, the more disturbing, vile, and downright DEMONIC she becomes. I mean the things she did and CONTINUES to do is just...*Shudders*.
I long for the moment when Dim's mother is killed off. Though how, when, and by who remains a mystery. Though I do so hope Dim is involved in killing her in a rather terrible way, as only Dim or MAYBE Tarnish is willing/able to do.
