CHAPTER 6: FORGETTING THE PAST
As I awoke from my fitful sleep I was peering up into a blue ceiling that had
a bright orange and yellow sun with a marble moon inside it. To the right of this symbol there was bright yellow stars, to the left was a bunch of fluffy little clouds that looked like tiny little rabbits. As I slowly clambered out of bed I looked at the room. I had never seen this room before but it seemed oddly familiar. Investigating the room further I realized it was far larger than a room should be for a foal my age. Wandering around a bit more I discover various instruments and a large mirror. As I walked towards the mirror I looked at my reflection. My right eye was a dark purple, and as I stared at it flashes of memories flooded my skull. Averting my focus to my left eye, I noticed it was green. Turning my focus back to the walls, I noticed they were also a blue except with various symbols in a fancy pattern that I quickly recognized as Nova's, Alto's, and Breve's cutie marks, with a Treble clef here and there. After admiring the marks on the walls I turn my attention to where a cello, violin, and piano is sitting off on the opposite side of the room. Along with those instruments were multiple small stacks of sheet music. After shuffling through the semi-complex sheets of music I turned to a door and opened it. The room I entered seemed to be an library or observatory due to the upper and lower floors. It was stacked high with all sorts of books, along with a giant window in the upper level of the room with a petite and ill fitting telescope.
As I carefully walked down the steps I turned right to see big brown double doors leading out of the room, which is just an intelligent assumption. Approaching the door I hesitantly peered out the window on the upper level, admiring the beautiful sky where a few birds flew around and one or two clouds lazily floated across the sky. For some reason I had this nagging feeling that if I opened that door I would regret it, but ignoring my better judgment, I grasped the handle of the door and slowly pushed it open. I quickly regretted this, as the door crept open my eyes dilated and shot wide, seeing nothing but a wide expanse of pure darkness. Not even Celestia's sun could pierce this. Sitting there I slowly closed the door and heard murmurs in my head.
“My dear little brother,” The voice I quickly remembered as Luna began.
“Turn around please,”
As I turned I was faced with an azure mare, possibly the same size as Celestia.
“Sister?”
“Yes Glitch, it's me, but I have to talk with you,” She said sitting down in front of me motioning me to sit next to her. As I cantered over next to her and sat down I looked up into her sad turquoise eyes.
“Why do you look so sad Luna?”
“L-little brother I-I have to tell you something,” She said her voice beginning to crack.
“What is it?”
“At the moment you're in a coma of sorts,”
“A coma?”
“Yes, or that's the simplest way to put it,”
“Wait what does this mean sister?”
“W-when Celestia wiped your memory you passed out. It's been a few day's so in order to keep you from losing out on your life, we put you into the universe perse,”
“So... I'm never going to see Alto or any one else?”
“It's a strong possibility, I'm sorry Glitch,”
Dumb struck, I sat there staring at my hooves, tears flowing freely from my eyes. As I sat there realizing that I may never see them again Luna wrapped her forehoof around my shoulder and pulled me close. This action of kindness caused me to sob into her coat loudly.
“Shhhh, I will take a picture so you'll have at least one memory of them, there will be four pictures in all. They will each get one picture by themselves, and they will put their signatures on it, and whatever they wish to say to you,” with that she got up and walked towards the door.
“I have to go for now, I'll try to visit you as much as possible,”
“Okay...,” I said gloomily as she opened the door and left into the darkness.
The next few days were dull and boring. Then one day I could hear somepony crying from no known location.
“Hello?” The crying continued.
“Anypony there?”
“I-I'm going to leave you a robot with my personality and what they call... 'Soul' inside of it, it'll be offline until when-ever you wake up. Okay Glitch?” sobbed the voice quietly. As I heard the hoof steps slowly faded away I decided to fall back asleep in this celestial prison. Tears trickling down my face as my eye's slid closed as sleep over took me.
Sweet sweet sleep...
