Solem heads towards the village in pony form. He hid the anomalies nobody else had, so extra horns, draconic wings and tail, his unbandaged eye's color, were all changed into normal things for ponies or hidden away. He didn't like attention, and he knew his size was going to attract some. So he made himself a unicorn. He walked through the village looking around, wondering where Golden was. Golden said he would meet him somewhere near the village's entrance. Solem sighed and continued looking. It was going to be awhile.

(Meanwhile with Harmony)

Harmony ran through the darkness, trusting her instincts on where to go. The whispers kept distracting her, making her run into trees and other plants. 

"You can't run... can't hide... can't save them..." the voices chanted over and over. 

"Leave me alone!" Harmony yelled in frustration.  

"Too late... you're dead..." 

Harmony stumbled and fell. She tumbled through the vines and dirt, grunting as she rolled down. She suddenly flew into the air and started falling. She then realized that she had fallen off a cliff. She stared up at the dark night sky. Tears streamed down her face. 

Before she hit the ground, she saw a pair of glowing golden eyes looking down at her with a sly smirk on its face. There was the sound of footsteps behind her.

"Child, what's wrong?" Came a voice.

Harmony trembled, unable to speak. She struggled to roll over and tried to stand on her hooves. "I fell," she grunted.

"Here, let me help," he said as he helped her up.

She almost doubled over from the dizziness. Leaning on the pony, Harmony spoke quietly. "Thank you, mister. Where are we...?" 

"The dreamscape,"he said, "Also, don't call me mister, it's not needed here,"

"The dreamscape?" Harmony repeated in confusion. "What's that?"

"It is the place where you dream. It exists in everyone's mind," he said with a hearty chuckle.

"Ok," Harmony said as she looked up at the pony. "Then what's your name? I'm Glitter Harmony."

"Call me Goldencoat," he said. And he looked just that. His fur was golden while his mane and tail were black. He had gold eyes. He was also an alicorn.

Harmony nodded. "Nice to meet you, Goldencoat." She shifted on her hooves nervously. "Um, how do we get out of here?"

"Its simple child, just wake up," Goldencoat said.

And Harmony did indeed wake up.
