teaser

since it is going to take a little while longer to get the fully finished part of my next story published I thougth I would post a teaser here so here is a feel for Everdream

Starlight's hooves moved in the steps of the dance. He was dancing in blackness, surrounded by scattered pin pricks of light in the blackness. In the sky, I am dancing in the night sky. Starlight continued to dance, his hooves picking out the formal steps.

Suddenly she was there, taking her position opposite him in the dance. Starlight was aware of her but he could not describe her. He could clearly see her but he could not remember what she looked like. But he knew her, he had always known her. She was The White Pony. For a time that could have been minutes and could have been a thousand years they danced, spinning and moving in the light specked blackness. Eventually the tone of the dance shifted, moving from formal to intimate. They danced on, their hooves and necks becoming entwined as the dance continued.

“You must find them,” the White Pony whispered to him as their heads came close.

“What must I find?” he asked desperately as the spin of the dance took them apart.

“You know what you must find,” she replied calmly as they danced on.

The dance brought their heads close again.

“They are needed,” she whispered.

“Why are they needed?”

“You know why they are needed”

The dance continued, Starlight and The White Pony twisting on through the night.

“They must stop it,” The White Pony whispered, her voice more urgent.

“What must they stop?” Starlight had his face next to hers now.

She straight into his eyes. “The Darkness,” she whispered.

Starlight felt a chill at the reply and at the pain he saw in The White Pony's eyes. He noticed that the points of light were going out. The light around them was fading.
“You must find them,” The White Pony repeated more urgently.

“What are they?”

“You know what they are.” Most of the lights had gone now. Starlight felt a coldness pressing in; he noticed that The White Pony was glowing, he could feel her warmth and he danced closer to her.

“Everypony knows what they are. They are the part of you in everypony else. They are needed and you must find them.”

All the stars had gone out now. Starlight and The White Pony danced on through the darkness, lit only by her gentle glow.

“Where should I look for them?” Starlight asked.

“You know where to look,” The White Pony replied softly. “Seek the dusk. Seek the starlight, there you will find where they sleep.”
Starlight notice that The White Pony herself had started to fade. He danced ever closer, wanting to cling to her fading light and warmth

“Will you tell me something before I go?” she whispered in his ear, her voice going faint.

“Anything!” Starlight responded eagerly, desperately.

“Tell me,” The White Pony asked, her voice so faint, her light almost totally gone. “Do you still dream of me?”
