And now to make sure my 100th blog post isn't totally useless, I present to you a tiny excerpt from Pony Dreams: Chapter 9.
Luna tried to reply with a proper sounding ‘what?’ but it came out as a cough mixed with an unhealthy groan. She recognized her own voice, even with the odd hiss and gurgle that accompanied it. It took far too much effort to turn her head and look up. Barely a wingspan away, the emaciated, chain wrapped and wracked form of the Nighmare stood and gazed back at her with half-lidded serpentine eyes.
The Nightmare looked even worse than before. Her skin gripped her frame loosely along her legs and neck where the black chains wrapped around her. She looked dirtier and her wings were ratty and disproportionately large. They hung low on her sides, the primaries long enough to drag on the ground.
The Nightmare looked away and sighed. “Being so close to the source brings back old memories. You must be cautious, young Mistress.”
“Where i-is Twilight? Why won’t she an-answer me?” Luna scrunched her eyes closed. Her left shoulder felt like it was on fire. “What is wrong with me?”
“Just as you may only enter a dream where you are being dreamed of,” the Nightmare stepped closer and offered her hoof, “so to is it with my other host. She is near by, I think. But you must hurry and reunite with her, Mistress.”
Luna opened her eyes at the sound of the Nightmare’s clinking chains. She looked at the offered hoof and then up at the apparition's face. “Why are you helping me?”
“Because, as you say, it is time to ‘Goddess up.’”
BTW, I bought enough booze to last until the snow/ice melts again.
I can't wait until the full thing comes out! :D
And there was much rejoicing! YAY.
You do of course realize you have two Twilight x Princess stories you last updated in June 2013? Not that I'm, you know, in a Twilestia mood or anything...
