A peaceful night.
A silent, beautiful night rose upon Equestria, stars brightening paths around cities of the land. Ponies asleep, dreaming, both good and bad dreams, the moon being raised by the one and only, princess of the night. Nightmares that ponies encounter in their dreams leaving by the help of that very princess. Although, one mare wasn't asleep unlike other ponies. And that pony...

"Starlight," she was called from her bedroom doors, while she laid in her bed. The one that called her was Spike. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" He asked her.

"...I'm not asleep yet?" Starlight asked, turning around in her bed to speak to the young dragon. 
Spike shaked his head in response.

"Oh... Well, I'm not sure why, exactly," Starlight replied. "I guess I'm just not tired.."

"It's midnight, and you've woke up real early this morning. Like, real early," Spike said. "Something's up. Need to talk about it?" He suggested.

"Nah. I'll be okay tomorrow. Thanks anyway," Starlight told. 

"No problem." He answered, as he started to leave Starlight's room, closing the door and leaving her in peace.
Starlight turned off the light and tried to fall asleep. Yet, nothing seems to be working.
What's my issue?" Starlight thought in her head. "I'm completely fine, yet I've got a strange feeling something bad will happen soon," she turned around in her bed. "Hopefully it'll be fine tomorrow," she spoke once more, before trying to fall asleep yet again.

Yet, she's still awake.





Starlight woke up from her sleep early. The sun didn't rise either. She sat up from her sleep and stood on the floor. She felt even more nervous than last night. Or any of the previous days. She walked forwards to her window and saw:
Nothing.
She opened the window and pulled her head through, still seeing nothing. Black surrounded all around. This got her to get dizzy. She managed to get to the door and open it. She saw black. Again.

"Could this be my fault?!" she thought. She turned around again and walked around, trying to think of what could've caused this, and how to fix it.
She sat back on her bed, still in deep thoughts.

"This is no issue to figure out, Starlight."

Starlight jumped, looking around in surprise. 

"Who was that?" She asked. Although, she thought about the pony's words for a moment.

"I'm not willing to reveal my identity until your goal is complete," the voice said.

Starlight raised her eyebrow. "Goal?" She thought for a moment. "And what could it be?"

"You'll have to see for yourself." The voice said once more, before it started to fade away. While that happened, Starlight was raised in the air by an odd force. She looked around and tried moving away, yet she couldn't make any movement. She floated, while her room started to fade away, leaving her flying in the black. Starlight struggled to move again. She was abled to move her head, hooves and her entire body again, but she didn't what to do.
She was left in the middle of nowhere with black mist with no other pony but herself. She thought in the dead silence. She got an idea starting to form in her head.
"Of course! Teleportation! Why didn't I think of this sooner?" She spoke to herself, lighting her horn up with her aqua coloured magic. She used the teleportation spell, and teleported away.
One second later, she showed up at the exact same spot from where she teleported from. Although she couldn't really notice how far, since it was all black.

"Wha-, how..?" She said through confusion. "How did it not work?" She spoke, before the same voice answered from behind her:

"You're not abled to teleport back to your world."

Starlight looked behind her, looking at a spinning rainbow aura that appeared to be a portal to a different world. She watched a pony under a hoodie run through it. She couldn't see who could it have been, because it was really dark. Starlight, with no hesitation, went after the pony. "You're not leaving without an explanation!" Starlight slowly moved towards the portal, since it was still difficult to move. She struggled, and moved, and got at the front of it. She hesitated, but it still might be the only way out for her. So she reached out her hoof towards the portal, which grabbed it and pushed her in instantly. Going through the portal got her a familiar feeling. 
The portal closed after Starlight passed through it, leaving the black world dark, silent and black, as it was before Starlight arrived at it, and as it was now.





Starlight, still dizzy and confused from travelling through a strange portal, fell at the floor. Opening her eyes, she saw she wasn't anywhere she recognized. She looked up in front of her face, a surprised look on her face.
And that is where her adventure began.
