Foxfire's Tail II: A Fleeting Dreamscape

by Dragonborne Fox


Chapter III- Dreamscape

Foxfire was in alicorn form again, and she was traveling the night skies with Luna. Her marvelous wings shimmered in the light of the blue crescent moon.

A thick layer of clouds obscured the area above the Everfree Forest. They were blacker than the darkness in Nightmare Moon's intentions all those years ago.

Suddenly, a blur of orange, purple, black, and white charged at Luna and knocked her out of the sky.

"What the?!" Foxfire said as she was now face to face with the creature that hurt her mentor.

She had a somewhat unusual feature--she had two coat colors, black on top and white on bottom. Her forehooves were clawed and her horn was black on the first four sections and white on the last two. Her legs from the elbows and knees down were also white, and the mane was purple outside and orange-streaked within. Heterochromia was present--one green eye and one red. Wings that started out with white feathers and ended in black demonic membrane held her aloft. On her flank was a gold-rimmed mirror separating a dove from a raven whose wings were spread wide.

"Hello, whorse." Spat the abominable mare, "I am Dark Reflections. I am your every opposite."

"Every...opposite?!" Foxfire cried as she turned tail and dove to the earth, hoping her mentor would be alright.

The supposed opposite swiped a claw, missing the long tail by mere strands of hair. Dark dove in after Foxy, intent on doing something horrendous.

Foxfire miscalculated her landing and as a result hit her head onto a rock horn first. She cried in pain before the darkness took her away...

...into the dream world.

Staring face to face with him. Him in all his horrid glory, him in all his pride.

The bad stallion. He who shall remain nameless.

Surrounding both were the cultist ponies, their decorations billowing and clanking in a mad breeze as they chanted spells and hexes of ages past.

A knife to the throat felled the fox-pony, and darkness returned. She could hear her supposed opposite's cold-imbued laughter.

"You can never hope to truly flee from your mistakes. I guess I should call you mother now." Dark cackled in insanity before even her voice became one with the silent black of Tartarus.
