This Beautiful Darkness Shall Protect Me...

ARC TWO: Introduction (sorta)

Climbing up the mountain, a cascade of an immense amount of bright lights surround my retinas. Regardless, though, I continued to climb with my strength, watching the lights form into more coherent shapes, but still staying blinding blobs. I wish I could use my magic, but it doesn't seem to work here, for if it did, I would have easily destroyed my prison the moment I awakened. Sadly, though, it did not work out that way.

[Hwa-Zoom!]

The blinding blobs of light stopped cascading, remaining stagnant in a new shape now. A circle, mainly blue and white, and the wall I was climbing changed from bones to some type of stone. It became harder to climb, yes, but the wall actually started to collapse in a cone-like shape. Of course, the cone-like shape became cylindrical after some time, for the world I have arrived in has broken physics.

Mainly because the idiots who dream it up do not know the laws of physics at all.

I finally emerge from the mind-well that connected to my (er, his?) mind. The distorting world around me was beautiful and full of such majesty that I wished to stay. Until I saw the mountain, simply named 'Horror', once more. That mountain, Horror, holds the nightmares of all beings within this universe, but are contained by the dreamed-up gods that keep every sane. I also suspect that that princess who invaded my dream once has something to do in this world.

I hope to never run across her here.

I whip out my sword, 'I.D.', and immediately chopped down a dream tree. The sword cut through the tree like butter, for there is something special about the sword. It, originally, was my weapon as King, encrusted in gold, but then we tested one of our most favorite potions on it. An indestructible potion. Sounds like a good thing for a human, till you realize that your body is also regenerating at a rapid rate, which causes an indestructible disease that kills you. Cancer. Yes, I will never put that potion on myself, but on my sword, it makes it so that the metal cannot be hit with any force. Laws of Physics be damned compared to the majesty of the wizardry in the Tome.

I cut the tree in many pieces, logs, and create a camp. Of course, I need no sleep nor meal, but you must be cautious in the dream world if you one of me. I sit on a log and wait.

I put out my campfire and backflip into a tree, for the dreamworld has weak gravity. I crouch in the tree, looking to the direction of the noise, and wait just a moment before, out of the bushes, a couple, a happy pony guard with a beautiful mare, emerged. The guard had on no guard attire other than the silver helmet on his neigh-perfect, silver, coat. The mare, herself, was beautiful, but everything felt off.

Guessing she was the dream, I jumped off the tree. The guard was startled, but the mare noticed nothing. In a moment's notice, I sliced the mare mercilessly in half, her last words vibrating through the air, but she noticed nothing. A blue, happy, ooz coated my sword and I drank it in front of the guard. He stared at me in absolute shock, but before he could touch me in any way, I watched him blink from existence.

He woke up already? Oh well, I eating his dream juice anyway, feeling happy.
