The One Thing That All Can’t See, Except One

My Face

The SOUL is a culmination of a ponies, humans, or monsters being. Though some don’t come with the spirit of the soul, but only special ones can see and hear. The ones who have, went insane. None have been able to comprehend the spirits, but one has managed. This is their story in several chapters.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
It was a Sunday morning in Ponyville. The days before I became a citizen in Ponyville has been smooth. I like to visit the Changeling Hive, which is way before than the old Hive. Thorax, the King, has gotten used to me. So did the Mane 6, Starlight, and a few others. Not every pony though. But lately I’ve been feeling strange. I probably have a fever, or the flu.

“Well, gotta get ready for my trip to the Crystal Empire.” I thought. I went to my living room. I was also able to make a house of my own. I went to get my things. But, when I looked in the mirror, I saw a face that wasn’t mine. My eyes were a empty void of darkness, lines extending from the eyes up and down. I had a devious smile that was also a dark void.

“What the-!” I thought before someone knocked on my doorstep. I turned in shock. I ran to the door, so I didn’t have to look at my horrible reflection anymore. I was so glad I wasn’t looking in the mirror anymore.

“Hey, you ready?” Applejack questioned, looking so eager to go. Then her expression changed to a concerned look.

“Uh...You ok? Ya been havin’ trouble inside?” She asked. I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t tell her what I saw, she would think I went crazy.

“Oh, no! I’m fiiine!” I lied. She knew I was lying. But she didn’t pester me.

“Alright then, I’ll be with the others.” She said, and walked away. I closed the door, and tried to avoid every mirror in my house. Moments later, I was ready and headed to the train station. Then, some pony came up to me and said “Do you have any glass? I’m trying to make a glass vase.”

“Oh yeah, I have some right-“ I took it out and stared at the same face I saw in my mirror. Who’s face is that? Is that MY face? What’s happening to me?

“Um...are you ok?” The pony snapped me out of my distraction. I nervously smiled and rushed,

“Ohyeahyouwantedthisokhereyougobye!” I flew off, feeling embarrassed. Then I reached the train station, exhausted.

“Finally! You’re here!” Pinkie yelled happily. Fluttershy stared at me and said,”Are you ok. You don’t look like yourself.” I nodded.

“Well, what are we waiting for! Let’s go!” Twilight eagerly said. I was just silent.

I just looked down. Knowing there was glass windows, I didn’t dare look at them.

“Hey, look! A bird!” Pinkie pointed. Everyone was looking, even thought it wasn’t that cool. But I kept my head down low. After a while, my neck hurt, so I wanted to stretch my neck. I looked up and stretched my neck. Twilight Sparkle, confused, tried to get me to look at the window.

“Hey, how come you won’t look at the window?” She asked, and put her hooves on my head, forcing it to turn to the window. I moved her hooves off my head. But I looked up, not knowing I was facing the window. I gasped and stared hard. I wanted to look away, but couldn’t.C-C’mon me! Turn away! Turn. Away!

“Hey!” Some pony yelled. I lost my attention, and turned to the pony who was speaking. It was a orange mare, with green mane and tail, and a red lighting bolt cutie mark.

“You, Changeling, are you going insane. You’re staring at the window like someone dangerous was outside.” She reminded me of what I was doing.

“Oh..um...no.” I quietly said. But his reflection still scared me, staring back at the window, and losing focus again.

“Hey! I’m talking to you, stupid!” She yelled. I got my focus on her again. She definitely wasn’t happy.

“S-s-s-sorry.” I said again, covering my eyes and mouth. She gave me a serious look and grabbed my hoof that was covering my eyes.

“Look at me, buggy! When I’m talking to you, I’m TALKING TO YOU!” She stated. I tried looking away, but only ended looking at my horrifying reflection. So my only option was to get her hoof off mine. Then I felt a weird feeling in my soul. Then, without my own consciousness, slapped her hoof. She got her hoof away, and looked at me with a even more serious look.

Tck,I knew you Changeling’s haven’t changed one bit.” She scoffed and sat down on a seat. I felt so bad. I didn’t mean too!

“Hey! You take all of that back, chump! Rainbow yelled.

“N-no, she’s right, maybe I haven’t changed one bit,” I said. But Rainbow had a expression that mean’t otherwise.

“Why do you let ponies get to you?” She asked. I shrugged and looked away. But Rainbow assured me that those ponies just din’t understand me like her and the others. I lightened up at that. But something didn’t feel right. I felt like my soul had different personalities. But, when I was thinking about it. The train came full stop. We were at the Crystal Empire.

“Oh! Oh! We’re here!” Pinkie yelled and ran outside. Everyone ran after her and I came last. Realizing that the whole empire was made of clear, reflecting, glass like crystal.

“You ok?” Twilight asked, beside me. I made a small nod.

“Yeah...I’m..” I said, looking back at the window, seeing the face.

“I-I’m fine.” I finished. Twilight sighed and smiled.

“Well, if you’re not..you can tell me, I’ll understand.” She said. I sighed. She tried to catch up to the others. While I stayed behind. But I felt nothing was right. My soul didn’t feel right. Maybe holding so many colors at once must be hard. I took once last glance at the window, seeing that face one last time before I left. I saw a strange presence behind me. A presence that had the same face I saw on my reflection of my face. I was so scared that that point, fearing to look behind me. I worry weighted more and more every second I stared and stared. Then I heard a voice that sounded nothing like my friends.

”Don’t forget about this. Don’t forget anything about this. Don’t forget about me or the others. Don’t forget, and don’t ignore US” That’s what I heard before I snapped out of it. I was probably just hearing things.

Right?....
