Next of the... Shattered Six? · 3:45am Mar 1st, 2015
Okay... This is the first 422 words of the next chapter... But it has a little... Weird?
He woke up in a field of white silence.
"Oh, so you got here," came a familiar voice. "I'm glad. It took you long enough."
He recognized the face of his friend almost immediately. But for him to be here... he had to be in one of two places.
"Is this...?" he asked.
"The Realm Beyond?" his friend finished. "Yes and no. Apparently I acted like a complete callous fool near the end of my life and you... Well... you're lucky to have made it here after everything you pulled."
He had important information he needed to impart on his friend. "It's Glare! He.."
"I know," his friend interrupted. "I've been watching..."
"You've been watch-" He was incensed. "You told me to tell you when this happened! It's not exactly easy getting here you know and it will be much harder for me to get back! Why did you waste my time-"
"Because you're one of the very few ponies I could talk to after everything fell down... After I lost them... And lost myself," his friend smiled. "True, sometimes it felt like talking to a wall..."
"Oh, ha ha...,"
"In short, you're the only one I can trust who I was sure could hear me..." His friend turned to face him. "Tell me. Right now. Is it them? Are they the ones?"
"Well you've been 'watching'," he said dryly. "You tell me."
"I want to hear it from you."
The look in his friends eyes was one he had seen before. As much as he'd joke, as much as he'd fob off all things with thinly veiled sarcasm, he knew exactly how serious the situation was. "If it's anyone," he said. "It's them."
His friend smiled. "I believe you."
There was an awkward silence. "We should find a way to tell Twili-"
"Not yet," his friend interrupted. "Glare has put a test before them. A very important one. We're going to let the test finish, then we'll tell her. Or if she fails..." His friend trailed off, not wanting to think about what would happen after that.
He sat down and sighed. He had a question he needed to ask his friend. In his heart, he already knew the answer.
"Have you seen her?"
His friend gave him a sad smile. "Oh come on, old friend," he said softly. "You know she wouldn't be here..."
Huh... What AM I trying to pull?
Something AWESOME, if a previous blog of yours is any indication.
Discord and Starswirl in Purgatory?........................wish I thought of that......but what do they need to tell Twilight?
