//------------------------------// // Dreams // Story: Book 1 - The Behemoth came to Canterlot // by Equimorto //------------------------------// "When you really think about it, and you should think about it, and I do hope you think about it, and honestly if you don't think about it I'm not sure what you're doing with your time, or maybe you're young, or maybe you simply have very different priorities from mine, and who am I to judge but seriously, I'm me, it's weird that if even I do it you wouldn't, come on, I'm me, but anyway, it really, and I mean really, seriously, positively, not negatively, kinda weird how that works out actually, truly showcases how peculiar we all are, each different, mostly different at least, and yet similar, mostly similar, but we are all of the same species after all, not that other species don't also have something similar, or even identical, not something I've ever seen or been in though, which I should probably fix but I'm not sure if I can, if I could do it myself, if I could just ask, if maybe there's some kind of law or convention or unspoken agreement or maybe even just a fundamental, biological incompatibility that not even magic can solve, not even magic this powerful, that would be quite weird considering all the things this magic can do really, it almost feels limitless, I've seen it, or well I've imagined it, I've only seen bits of it and yet even just those bits made it feel so grand, so incredible, and it's not even the greatest stuff it can do so just think of the possibilities, the endless field of anything that could be, literally anything you can conjure up and even things you cannot think of, not right now, things your mind will conjure up in secret, hidden from you, and yet in all that as I've said you notice similarities, you see things so alike other things and patterns and repetitions, you really notice them the more you look at it, at the whole thing and everything and I've done that for a while, for many nights by now, for almost every night since I've taken on this role and for some afternoons too, as I still take naps, and still I find other ponies also taking naps which is quite honestly rather nice and of course, it's always nice to find others who share your habits, and deep down as I'm saying we're all similar, we're all in some ways alike, it's those different parts that set us apart but we all have similarities, as far as I've seen at least, I haven't seen everything and everyone and far from me to claim something like that, it would be ridiculous and exaggerated and I've honestly seen just enough, despite or perhaps because I've seen so much, to know I've seen nothing at all in the grand scale of things, nothing but a tiny fraction, but I would still say it's a representative one, randomly chosen as it was it certainly can't have been a minority, but perhaps of course minorities were instead missed, they're still out there, still for me to find and see and all that stuff and such."
