12 [Arc 01 - Perturbation, Part Eight] <rev. 08.27.2014>
“Something about all this jus’ ain’t sittin’ right.”
“Doesn’t matter… we have to do this.”
“I know. Doesn’t make this feel any better though. Can’t say I’ve ever seen her look so worried… either of ‘em.”
“I… none of that matters. We know what we have to do. We’re here. Let’s do it.”
“I don’t mean nothin’ like that. Just feels like we’re missin’ things, y’know? Like they're keepin’ somethin’ back.”
“…”
“…”
“I know… same here.”
“…”
“…”
“Are you two ready?”
“As we’ll ever be.”
[o-0-o]
Debris fell like hail around her as the snake smashed into and, with a flex of its massive coils, through the column.
Fluttershy skittered along the floor before lifting back into the air as it pulled itself from the ruined stone and dust. It let out a rumbling growl as it turned to face, scaly lips twisted in a grin.
She had only time to gasp before raising her wings up high to sink beneath the serpent as it coursed by just above, scaley underbelly scraping against her wing tips. Mouth agape, Fluttershy watched as yard after yard of monstrous beast flowed overhead, her wings working in slow flaps as she studied its fleshy armor..
It seemed endless.
“You are in my domain now.”
“It doesn’t matter where we are! You won’t win!” she yelled as the serpent looped around itself to face her.
Fluttershy could feel the dread threatening to overwhelm her as she studied the the long, thick fangs that hung from its maw, dripping with a black sludge.
“You won’t win! I won’t let you!”
The beast merely laughed, sending a shudder coursing down her spine. She wanted to run, to flee far from this room, but she pushed down the fears and held her head high. Swallowing hard, she held her ground as it reared to attack again.
It lunged, serpentine body cutting through the air as she felt the familiar power building. She didn’t move save to maintain her altitude as it drew nearer and nearer, maw spread wide. The gaping black of its open throat threatening to consume her, she merely stared down the approaching doom.
At the last second, she rolled over in the air, dropping beneath its hurtling form only to flare her wings to her hind hooves to bear before bucking the beast right in its expansive underbelly.
Its angered roars filled the air as it reeled back, fading into the darkness. Where her hooves had hit, the scaly flesh had split in a glowing red light as a thick black liquid dripped from it.
Fluttershy lowered to the ground with a few powerful flaps of her wings, her hooves crackling as her body radiated a pink light. She couldn’t help but feel confidence bloom at the beast’s apparent pain, the dark tendrils that had attached it to the room receding back to bind its wound closed.
“Hmph… Old tricks.” The beast grimaced before renewing its grin. “How about we try something new?”
It lashed out with a trio of shadowy tendrils, sending bits of floor flying into the air, carving deep divots into the stone where Fluttershy had just been. The pegasus could only weave her way through the hail of debris before something slammed into her from the side, sending her careening back through the air. With a cry of pain, she smashed into the top arch of the entry and plummeted to the floor, slamming down with an audible thump.
Hacking and coughing, she rose to her hooves, one wing hanging limp at her side while the other trembling at her side. Eyes on her unsteady hooves as she took a few stumbling steps towards her opponent. At a tremor of laughter, she peered up to find the nightmare shifting once more.
“Perhaps this will be more to your liking.”
It let the words hang in the air as the shadows encircled it, snapping and cracking as they knit into a broad torso. A pair of tendrils stretched down to form arms from which a pair of wicked talons sprouted. Behind it, Fluttershy could see the changes continuing, sinewy muscles built up into a pair of spires that thrust out from the beast’s back, skin forming between long fingers of bone soon wrapped in taut, black flesh as they formed the wings of a—
Dragon… Fluttershy thought to herself, legs already quaking at the prospect.
“Oh… but, of course, my dear little Fluttershy,” it growled, once blunt muzzle lengthened into the long, curved snout of a true dragon. It grinned, now with a new mouth filled with dripping, razor-sharp teeth and, with a snort, shadowy flames shot from its nostrils. “What kind of host would I be if I didn’t indulge my guests’ deepest fears?”
Oh, Celestia—
"Cannot help you here, I’m afraid,” the new-formed dragon declared with an insidious smile, wings flaring as its lower body finished forming, a pair of wicked talons stepping forth, dragging furrows through what little remained of the floor. Whatever remained of its serpentine body swayed across the floor in long lazy sweeps as spikes jutted out along its length.
Fluttershy scrabbled back, just missing the stairs as she pressed herself against a bit of wall. As the nightmare strode forward, teeth shining in the halflight, she felt the strength draining from her.
“Even less of a challenge then I’d thought,” the dragon breathed, dark, purple flames punctuating each word as it drew nearer. “Let us make this quick then.”
Fluttershy swallowed hard as it loomed large before her. Smiling, it began to draw in the air as if to suffocate her, a fireball growing at the back of its throat. However, behind the dragon, something caught her attention: a familiar whistle.
Both glanced over to find a brilliantly shining, orange silhouette charging as a long glowing lasso hurtled at them. The dragon’s eyes went wide as the rope ensnared its muzzle and, as Fluttershy watched with mouth agape, yanked it down towards the flying hind hooves of the orange pony, hitting a clap of magic
The nightmare fell back with an enraged growl as the rope dissipated into nothingness, leaving a ragged crack across its jaw.
“You bring them here?!” the dragon yelled out, fire spilling over its teeth as it lept to its talons.
Who?
Another, curter whistle drew her attention, the orange mare beckoning her towards the stairwell. In her shock, she didn’t move, the dragon letting out a massive roar that rang through her skull. With a gasp, she looked to the dragon only to find her vision filled by a massive purple flame coursing towards her before something slipped about her middle and pulled her roughly into the stairwell.
Eyes still looking back, she watched the flames hit, a large section of the archway simply ceasing to be as it was struck. She cringed as the dragon let out another ear-splitting roar, finding herself thumping hard onto the orange silhouette’s back as the dragon pursued.
Instinctively, she grabbed onto the pony for dear life as it reared up and shot down the stairwell. The dragon stopped at the top, its bulk too much for the curved stairs, and vanished from sight around the bend.
It seemed for a moment that its pursuit had ceased as its angry cries were replaced by the steady echo of the orange pony’s hooves. Fluttershy felt her nerves calmed by constant clatter of keratin on stone as it galloped down the stairs.
“Who are you?” Fluttershy whispered as she peered at the orange silhouette. She swore she felt it staring back, radiating a comforting warmth despite any discernible facial features. Save for the whipping mane and tail, it was a blank slate of an earth pony.
Not wholly unlike the statues they had come across…
Soon, however, the relative calm was interrupted by the renewed roars of the nightmare reverberating through the stone walls of the tower. The silhouette galloped closer to the inside track of the stairs as sound began to focus just beyond the outer wall. Staring out at the windows as they whipped by, she spotted the dark shadow of the beast drawing ever closer.
“Watch out!”
The outer wall burst inwards as a dark scaled talon grabbed for them, the pair slipping beneath one before having to leap the first talon’s sibling as it crashed through just in front of them. With a well timed buck of its hooves, the orange silhouette sent them hurtling forward and sent the dragon reeling.
Looking back at the debris that had been the outer walls, Fluttershy watched the silhouette of the dragon pass by again, sending tremors through the stone steps.
With a cry of fear, Fluttershy pulled back on the orange silhouette, flaring her good wing. The silhouette’s hooves scraped loudly against the stone steps, seeming to turn to berate the pegasus before it saw what Fluttershy had, the stairwell in front of them crumbling as the dragon’s claws ripped open the stairwell.
“Nowhere left to flee, little one!” the dragon roared as its head plunged into the newly enlarged tunnel of stairs. Its red eyes were alight as smoke curled up from its lips.
The silhouette simply glared at the hulking beast, hoof pawing at the stone step upon which they’d stopped.
“Oh… no…” Fluttershy groaned, hooves wrapped securely around the orange pony’s neck and eyes wide as she stared into the gaping maw, ready and able to swallow her whole.
And then, she felt a rumble coming from the orange silhouette as it faced the dragon, the orange mare’s tail flicking in agitation.
“Hmph, another brave one,” the dragon smirked, its noxious breath flowing over them, choking the air as the stairs seemed to dim and fade away. “Will you so readily sacrifice? I wonder…”
The orange pony stomped a hoof aggressively, making as if to charge the dragon. The nightmare simply grinned, smoke soon replaced by licking flame as it prepared to meet the silhouette’s challenge.
“No, no, don’t!” Fluttershy cried out as she peered around the orange pony at the dragon.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of calm coursing through her, the orange pony swiveling its head to stare back at her. She could almost see a wink on its featureless face, a look that said everything would turn out just fine before turning back to the dragon.
The silhouette gave another brazen stomp of its hoof, snorting before it reared back on its hind legs and charged.
The nightmare quirked an eyebrow, its omnipresent smirk widening before, with a stone-shaking roar, its flames filled the stairwell.
Fluttershy screamed as they charged the approaching flames, clutching the silhouette tight as it barreled down.
And then her scream faded as they veered suddenly to the inside of the stairwell, the silhouette galloping up the inner wall a few steps before flinging itself and Fluttershy over the encroaching flames towards a window.
“No!”
Fluttershy could hear the dragon cursing as they broke through what remained of the ancient glass and tumbled into the darkness.
Flapping her good wing in a panic as they spun uncontrollably through the air, Fluttershy stared back as well as she could to watch the dragon pulling its head from the ruins of the stairwell, stone and dust falling about it. What little remained of the tower crumbled before her eyes, leaving naught but an ashen-colored cloud where the old castle had once been.
“You will not get away from me!” the dragon roared from somewhere within the gray cloud.
“Oh, please, please, please,” she squealed in fright, invoking anypony able to aid them as she clung to the orange silhouette, tears streaming as the winds whipped them from her eyes.
Oh, please, Celestia, Luna, anypony!
Fluttershy prayed silently, burying her face into the back of the orange silhouette as she fought their descent. Her flaps became steadier, her wing spread more fully as she gained some measure of control. No longer were they tumbling through the air; they were now dropping like a stone into the seemingly infinite dark.
Oh, please just let us land someplace soft…
Fluttershy could feel the silhouette tense the moment before they hit with a loud squelch.
What?
The pegasus found herself suddenly surrounded on all sides by some mysterious goop pressing in on all sides. Her grip slackened as she began to extricate herself from the strange slop. In a half-panic, she swam in the direction she hoped was up, hearing her hooves slap against the thick liquid as she breached the surface and threw herself over the lip of a large tub.
Grape juice?
She could taste the fruit on her tongue as she blinked her eyes open to find that they had indeed landed in a mass of half-pressed grapes, watching as the juice sloshed over the side of the oversized barrel. Glancing over the side of the barrel to the ground, her eyes went wide as her inexplicably smiling savior stood in the middle of an expansive apple orchard.
“A-ap-Appleja—”
A draconic roar filled the air, the trees shaking beneath its onslaught.
Before Fluttershy could even glance towards the beast, she felt something loop around her waist again and yank roughly from the tub to land back on the orange pony with a loud “Oof!”
“There will be no escape for you!”
Fluttershy cringed the orange mare shot forward into the orchard, following a well-worn main path through the trees. Hooves secured once more, Fluttershy looked back to find the nightmare descending upon them, wings seeming to fill the sky as dark flames poured from it. The beast dove towards the trees, eyes glinting with malice.
“Right! Right!” Fluttershy cried out, pulling on the silhouette's neck as the dragon cut a fiery swath through the orchard.
The orange pony did as beckoned, dashing right even as it gave the pegasus a quick and dirty look, but Fluttershy simply stared back at the full-grown trees being reduced to ash and cinders. She could only breathe a sigh of relief as they disappeared into the orchard proper, the orange mare weaving through the trees in a random pattern.
Did we lose it?
She glanced skywards, trying to spot some sign of the beast through the thick rows of apple trees. She felt an anxious calm settle in her as their gallop slowed.
“I think…” Fluttershy trailed off as she slumped down. “I think we're alright n—”
She cried out in shock as an apple tree speared the land before them, sending Fluttershy to the ground as the orange pony reared back.
“Surely you didn’t think it would be easy,” the beast cooed, a tree clutched in each claw as it hovered, an amused smile on its scaly features. “Now, be good little ponies and hold still!”
Fluttershy froze momentarily as the dragon bore down, but, with a quick nudge from the silhouette, she rolled to her hooves and took off alongside it. They galloped to the main orchard path, the orange pony leading her through the densest rows of trees.
“Oh, good! I was so hoping we could make a game of it!” the beast growled as it continued to hurl trees at them.
Fluttershy gasped, wind whistling through the branches of an apple tree turned projectile as it hurtled towards them. She felt something slam into her side, pushing her into another row as the tree spiked the ground between her and the silhouette, the tremors running through their hooves.
“Yes! Yes!” Tree after tree shot through the air at the fleeing ponies as the beast’s mocking laughter surrounded them. “Scurry like rats!”
Fluttershy found herself dodging and weaving through the orchard, the tremors becoming constant as projectile after projectile impacted the earth. By the time they made it to the main path, she was gasping for air.
“We… can't…” Fluttershy spoke through staggered heaves as she followed the silhouette down the middle of the road. “Can’t… hide…”
They were utterly exposed as the dragon reached the break in the trees, following them easily now that they had ceased their bobbing and weaving, and began following the linear path of the road. Fluttershy groaned fearfully, glancing back to see the dragon’s wide grin, hefting a rather sizable tree in a talon.
“We have to move!” Fluttershy veritably squeaked out, trying to push the orange pony back towards the tree line.
But It didn't break for the trees.
It wouldn’t break for the trees.
It simply maintained its line straight through the orchard, glancing back at their pursuer with a determined glint in its absent eyes.
Fluttershy felt oddly at ease beside the pony and soon ceased pushing it, content to gallop flank to flank with it. But, with the dragon so close, she couldn't help but tremble at the thought of what approached. She could feel her wings snapping up to her sides, legs threatening to give out each time they hit the hard-packed earth.
“Oh… you make this far too easy, Elements,” the dragon spoke as it hovered closer, fist wrapped tightly around the tree.
Fluttershy glanced from the orange silhouette to the dragon, biting her lip so hard that a distinct coppery taste filled her mouth. She looked to the silhouette with fear written plainly on her features, waiting for the other horseshoe to drop.
“We have… to get off… the path,” Fluttershy gasped out, watching the silhouettes well-furrowed brow. It had to have a plan. But before she could ask, a roar interrupted her thoughts as she snapped her head around to see—
Oh, no… Fluttershy mewled silently, staring at the tree now hurtling straight for them.
She could only think to hurry her gallop before she was pulled from her hooves. She landed on her rump, dazed and confused before she felt the glowing orange rope tighten about her stomach.
“What are you doing?!” Fluttershy demanded, voice panicked.
The silhouette simply stared at the dragon, hooves planted solidly in the dirt as they watched the tree hurtle towards them. Fluttershy scrabbled for footing before the mare gave a subtle tug of the rope, glancing over as if to plead for her trust.
Fluttershy just stared in return, body trembling as she realized what was to happen.
Please… she mouthed the word, choked by fear.
Just before impact, the orange mare reared up, the rope tightening about the pegasus as she was pulled hard towards the orange mare. She cried out as she was sent flying in a wide arc, first towards the incoming tree before the orange silhouette slammed her hooves down and sent Fluttershy careening through the rest of the loop and away from the dragon.
No…
Hurtling through the air, Fluttershy stared at the orange mare as the tree impacted.
[o-0-o]
“Something’s wrong.”
“…”
“Something’s wrong. We need to call this off.”
“…”
“Princess?”
“…”
“Celestia?”
[o-0-o]
Fluttershy watched helplessly as the tree struck, the orange mare bending and warping around the cracking and splitting wood before it shattered in a burst of white light.
“Applejack!” she cried out, the orange motes of light that remained slowly dissipating into nothingness.
With a dark chuckle, the dragon’s focus was once again upon her, locked onto her as she hurtled down the path. The dragon brought its wings down heavily and swooped down through the crumbling orchard, the once green and vibrant foliage faded to a deathly ash as the nightmare flew overhead.
As her senses returned, Fluttershy strained open her wings, able to manage little more than a controlled glide from the beast.
“Alas, poor Fluttershy. Abandoned once more,” the dragon mocked, one of its claws dipping into the orchard to pluck another tree from the earth, the leaves and bark of the tree cracking away in its grasp until nothing but an ashen spear was left. “How does it make you feel? To have them sacrificed so.”
“Shut up!” Fluttershy snapped, wings traveling in slow, wide arcs as the dragon continued to gain ground.
Below, the orchard was fast running out, the trees that had once seemed endless fading away into an all-consuming dark.
“Give up, little one,” the dragon cooed. “Surrender yourself and this could be so much easier for all involved.”
“I said shut up!” Slowly she lost altitude as the wind tugged at her battered wings.
I won’t give up… Out of the corner of her eye she could see the feathers slipping from her wings. She was bound to lose control at some point, but until then she simply stayed her course.
And then she could feel it drawing closer, its hot breath coursing through her fur as she closed her eyes, waiting for the worst to come. And then…
[o-0-o]
“This isn’t normal…”
“…”
“…”
“No. It isn’t.”
“But you won’t stop it.”
“No.”
“Why?”
“…”
“…”
“Because I can’t.”
[o-0-o]
…nothing.
No rush of air, no impact.
Not even wind rustling through her wings.
“What?”
Fluttershy could hear the disbelief in the nightmare’s voice as she opened her eyes to find herself surrounded in a soft blue aura.She found a unicorn standing beside her as she was lowered onto the ill-defined soil. A well-coiffured mane fell beside the purple silhouette’s horn as it glowed a soft blue in the darkness before fading.
“Th-thank you,” Fluttershy stammered out uncertainly before a rumbling laugh broke in.
“Oh, how sweet you make this,” the nightmare cooed, dropping heavily to the ground. “So willing they are to sacrifice.” It plucked up a second apple tree in its free claw, bark and leaves burning away. “Is that something you will allow?”
Fluttershy simply stayed silent as she turned to face the beast, backing away slowly as the purple silhouette interposed herself between pegasus and nightmare.
“So be it, little one,” the nightmare mocked before leaping back into the air, hurling first one spear and then the other with a roar.
Fluttershy’s heart leap into her throat as she grabbed onto the purple silhouette, trying to force it back.
“We have to go!” Fluttershy grunted in exertion as she pressed futilely at the stoic, purple silhouette. It simply wouldn’t move as Fluttershy’s hooves slipped against the black earth, sending her collapsing to the ground.
The silhouette simply let out a dismissive little scoff, standing tall before the falling projectile, horn flaring into life.
Even as she buried herself beneath her hooves, Fluttershy felt something hurtle forth from behind them followed moments later by a thunderous crash. But there never came the the impact that she had expected.
Peering out from between her hooves, she watched a set of now very badly dented ponyquins drop to the dirt with a clang. As she stoo, she found that the twin spears had embedded themselves in the dirt to either side of them.
“What?” Fluttershy cocked her head to the side. “Where did—how? What?”
“With the—and the—What?”
The purple silhouette simply huffed at the shared confusion of pegasus and nightmare.
“How did yo—”
A shudder coursed through the ground, interrupting her questions as her hooves splayed wide for balance.
The dragon growled as it took a step forward, flaring its wings wide.
The silhouette did not back down, however large the nightmare swelled, a half-dozen or so ponyquins coming between her and the dragon.
“Let us proceed then, Element,” it bid cooly as Fluttershy glanced between it and the silhouette before something caught the corner of her eye.
There, in the dakness behind them, something shimmered.
“What is tha-AaaaAaat!” Fluttershy’s whisper turned to a yelp as she was yanked onto the back of the already galloping silhouette, its ponyquins haphazardly flung at the nightmare.
Roaring in frustration at the sudden turn of mood, the dragon batted away the ponyquins as they ran towards the shining something in the dark. The beast lifted into to the air to pursue, hurling curses and flames after the pair.
Meanwhile, Fluttershy could see the shimmering tear bend and warp until it was recognizably a door. With a push of its blue aura, the silhouette slammed it open to reveal a long hallway that seemed to go on forever as it arcced out of sight. She could hear the sound of its hoof hits shift as muffled dirt gave way to the echoing tap of the hard tile.
Turning back, Fluttershy saw the nightmare hurl itself after them before the door slammed shut in its face.
They stopped for a moment, watching the closed door as the nightmare’s muted roars sent trembles through the hall. They persisted a moment longer before the door bent and vanished back into the darkness, sealing them in silence.
“Oh… Oh my goodness…” Fluttershy let out a sigh of relief as she slipped down on the silhouette’s back.
The silhouette was silent, even as it broke into a steady trot.
Fluttershy glanced around the long hall to find it strangely devoid of detail, dark save for the light of hanging lanterns. Gradually, the silhouette slowed again to a stop, ears twitching in an agitated manner.
“Where are we going?” Fluttershy asked, but received not an answer from the unicorn as it glanced around. “I guess I’ll just walk on my… own?” As she moved to dismount, she found herself unable to, a soft blue glow holding her in place. The unicorn turned to face her, shaking its head.
“Are… are we safe here?” Fluttershy asked, tightening her grip slightly.
The silhouette glanced down, shaking its head again before continuing its quiet trot down the seemingly endless hallway.
Then there came a tremor, the only sign of it being the sudden sway of the lanterns overhead.
Then there came another.
And another.
A lump caught in Fluttershy’s throat as a chill coursed down her spine. The purple silhouette turned and Fluttershy followed its sightless gaze back down the hall from which they had come. Around the bend they could see a glow that intensified as the tremors grew worse.
“Oh… no… no, no…” Fluttershy muttered ceaselessly, head throbbing as she sensed it, the purple silhouette moving backwards as it kept its eyes on the glow.
Above, the lanterns swung wildly, their flames clinging to life within their glass enclosures.
“Come back, Fluttershy.”
They came on a chilling wind that blew through the hall, a chorus of whispers. One-by-one, the lanterns flickered and went out. A soft blue light filling the hall as it quickly replaced the warmth of the lantern light.
“Don’t abandon them, Fluttershy.”
The floor trembled, cracking and splitting beneath the silhouette’s hooves. Fluttershy found herself lifted down just behind the unicorn.
“Don’t leave them, Fluttershy.”
They echoed in the constricting hallway, the walls seeming to pulse and throb around them in time with the pegasus’s heart, the ceiling bowing as if ready to collapse in on them.
Fluttershy’s focus shifted between the silhouette and the encroaching dark.
The voice came from everywhere at once, issuing forth from the walls and ceiling and floor, only to echo softly at the back of her mind in the same moment.
“Don’t leave us, Fluttershy. Stay with us. Don’t abandon us like they did…”
[o-0-o]
“I- I am fine…”
“You are not!”
“…”
“Luna?”
“Yes? What is it? What can I do?”
“You don’t feel it, Luna?”
“No… no, sister, I do not.”
“…”
“…”
“Milady… what is happening?”
“Exactly what is meant to.”
[o-0-o]
“Don’t abandon us like they did…”
The words hung in the air as the hall stilled. The lanterns burst into life once more and Fluttershy was alone with the silhouette again, its horn dimming as it glanced about the hall.
“W-we sh-should k-keep m-moving…” Fluttershy stammered, hooves uncooperative as she stood, stuck to the spot and staring into the darkness.
The silhouette stepped past the rooted pegasus, pushing the pegasus along with magic before she found her strength.
“Fluttershy…”
Her eyes went wide as the voice echoed, spinning around to find nopony there. Glancing over her shoulder at the silhouette, she found it still walking steadily away, unaware of the voice.
“Fluttershy… where are you, Fluttershy?”
The silhouette’s magical grasp released her as she took a few tentative steps, trailing the silhouette by a few yards.
“Fluttershy… where have you gone?”
She slowed a moment, glancing from side to side, eyes wide but her her heart quiet.
“I thought you were lost, Fluttershy…”
Something in the voice was familiar, all her fears seeming to drain away.
“But now I’ve found you…”
She stopped in front of a familiar door.
“Come in, Fluttershy.”
The door swung open unto darkness—
“Come in, my darling Fluttershy.”
—and into the darkness she vanished.

trippy, but in a good way.
Color me curious~ I'll try and start reading this later today.
Now. I'm more interested than ever as to exactly what they are trying to do in the real world to save her. They can't use the full power of the Elements with Shy in her state ...
To paraphrase a great man, Just because it's all in your head doesn't make it any less real.
I can tell the stakes are high here, but don't know exactly what the stakes are. Regardless, I await the conclusion of this epic struggle.
Okay. This is epic.
But, I'm confused.
Well, I guess that's why it's called Perturbation.
But, will somepony please paraphrase what has happened so far in this fanfic?
It would be greatly appreciated.

Sure. I'll PM you to avoid posting spoilers.
Again, you are the worst sort of tease. I loathe you for it and I love you for it. Please don't take too long.
im on chapter 7 right now (i havent read it yet), and i have to ask, is the theme of the story gonna continue like this (as it has been since chapter 5; as in very sad and depressed shy) or is it gonna go back to how it was earlier?
I just found this story and it is excellent. I love how the story is taking place in her head. I couldn't stop reading and can't wait for more.
I do believe I begin to understand. I don't know if RD is really dead in this story's real world... but I do know what's going on. The funny thing...? I just had to look up the meaning of the name of this story, and it all made sense.
I don't know if the snakemonster is NMM or simply something of Twilight's... if that's even possible that is, but I do know at least in part what it wants. I will say nothing so as to avoid spoiling the story.
548149 yia i do basically have the story broken down now just like you its pretty simple tho easy to get lost if you dont think about it tho i thought thered be more twi oh well flutters is good aswell and nmm i feel sorry for you somewhat not really having any friends.
There needs to be an entirely new genre tag for this fic. It should be titled "mind trip."
