Chapter 2: A bad dream turns worst


The sun high above the town warming the ground and a breeze of cool wind blew throught out the town the cool air hit Dawn right in the face making his mane blow back and forth with the direction of the wind.
His tail was checking a few of the leaves that have fellen from a nearby tree the leaves where a bright green color with just a little bit of yellow on the edge but you would not really notice such a thing only if you where to study the leafs.

Dawn still sitting there is waiting and watching Luna's moves he has become a bit restless because she has not said a single word in the last ten minutes, dawn stands up and waves his tail a little to shake of the leaves that where on it he did not really mind the leaves that was on his head maybe he did not notice them.* '' Master are you ok? You have just been sitting there you have not said anything about my task and you are just looking up at the sky. Luna dosen't say anything just this quick statment and gose back to watching the sky* ''Dawn it's coming it will be here before you know it''

Dawn leans his head to the side and rubs his mane with his hoof he feels the leafs and brushes most of them out of his mane while thinking about what Luna just said* ''So what will becoming soon? You mean winter, cause if so yah your right winter will behere be for you know it'' Dawn remebers few years ago when him and Luna went out to train him on using his magic by trying to clear the trees of snow which turned out to be a fail since he was not able to get even a spark of magic to work, all that happened that day was dawn getting a really bad cold* ''Good times I remember all those missions and trainings I had to do with you over the past few years it has really been alot of hard work''

Dawn layes of the grass and looks up at the Southeast bell tower where he watches the clock hand move slowly around passing each and every second, before he notices it he has started to day dream once again but this time it was not really a dream he could not understand all he saw was a black sky and none of the star's where out and he was in a field. He started walking around in the dream. "' What is this? Where i'm I at this dose not look like my town nor anyother town I'v seen before.

Dawn starts to shake and wiggle about on the soft grass he was still sleeping under the clock tower, Luna has by this time was standing up and watching the sky and clouds, she turns her head over to where Dawn was sleeping she walks over to him and puts her hoof on his side and trys pushing him to wake him up* '' Dawn wake up'' Luna saw that dawn has now started to sweat a little bit.* ''Where is this place it's so dark here and cold, the grass is dead and everything is lifeless''

Dawn still walking around in his dream he see's a hill up ahead of him and he makes a dash to the top to get a good view of the whole landscape , he makes his way up the hill which was oddly misshapened but he played no mind to it after reaching the top of the hill he looked down, Dawn's heart dropped* ''This cant be? No why how could this have hapened who did this ? This cant be real this must be a dream'' Just after dawn spoke those words a dark heavy voice called out to answer dawn's question*

''Oh this is real, or it will be real'' Dawn turned around moving back and forth looking for where that voice was coming from his tail fur was on edge and his hoofs where shaking his body was almost over come with a fear of the unknown, but stil dawn would not back down and he thought to himself its just a voice what's the worse it can do?*
The voice let out a blood piercing laugh* '' oh that's good its not what im going to do it's what you are going to do my dear alicorn'' Dawn steps back a few steps moving slowly walking down the hill passing broken homes that where burned and smashed up* ''What do you mean what I'm going to do?''

The voice starts speaking in a light tone as if it was trying to calm down the alicorn* '' This is your doing Dawn, you are a key to set everything into action on that day and after everything was done, They!! made there decision and so did you. Which caused the world to end up like this but its not all bad there are still pony's around that work under me as my slaves and this whole world dose what I tell them''

Dawn opens his wings and trys to fly away but it was useless he was not able even make it off the dirt* '' Stop it! Leave me alone, stop talking to me this is not real'' Dawn lets out a cry* ''Someone help me '' The voice starts to fade away but leaves a few words with Dawn* ''You cant run forever Dawn you are the catalyst to this whole world and you will play your part in do time , you can count on that''

With that Luna wakes Dawn up using her magic she broke the spell that was casted over Dawn while he was in his dream* ''Dawn are you ok?'' Dawn rolled over and looked at the ground he was crying and stomped his hoof into the ground*
''Is that true will am I the one that makings all that happen? If some I'm a monster a beast , a killer and nothing more'' Luna walks over to Dawn and picks him up* '' You are no killer dawn, but you need to tell me what happened in your dream right now.'' Dawn did not wanna tell Luna everything that happened in his dream he still had a little aftershock from it you can tell by how his tail was waving nonstop it could not be helpped something like that no pony should have ever seen in there life*

''Luna I cant tell you what I saw , what i'v heard, or what w=I will do'' Luna grabs dawn and gives him a hug, *Dawn you have done nothing just worry about a bad dream that you saw in your brain im sure its just cause you dont get much sleep and nothing more now If i may please tell me what happened in your dream dont leave out any details I must know to better understand that your dream could have been about'' Dawn lowers his head and turns to look at the sky he see's a few birds flying away from the nearby tree that was right next to the bell tower he gives a smile that fades away and turns into a frown when he remembers what the voice said to him* ''You are the key and They! made there decision and so did you.''

The thought of becoming a monster and a key that will lead to so much pain Dawn felt a pain in his heart once again but this one was a little different, but he has felt it before along time ago when his mother and father passed away the saddenss of that day he thought he would never feel anything that could hurt him so much but this one was right on the edge, Dawn slowly opened his mouth as he spoke a few words and than was silent * ''I'm the monster that will cause the death of millions to take place'' Everything was queit not a word was spoken not by Luna nor Dawn it felt as if the world had come to a stand still , the wind stopped blowing and the warmth of the sun faded away leaving just his words that echoed*

Dawn's whole body felt like it was going numb he felt unsure about himself for one of the first times in his life and no heart felt speech about how kind he is or how noble he is would change what he is thinking about himself all he knows is that sometime in the future he will become something that will cause this world great pain* Dawn stands up where he begins to brush himself off with his tail from one hoof to the next and down to his back legs, he was all clean* ''Hey Luna if you knew that the actions you take would lead you to becoming a monster would you still do them? Or would you just do nothing and watch as the world runs its cores?''

Luna stands beside Dawn not getting to close to him she felt the sadness that was shown in his body language he was almost to far gone to help him but she knows her student like a book but she has never seen this before, but she knew what she had to say to help him* ''Dawn if you do nothing than the world will be destroyed anyway and when we look back on this years from now pony's will be asking where was you? What did you do to try and stop this? And all you will be able to say is doing nothing. Dawn if you wanna change the world it may cost you losing yourself in the process. I'v told you this countless times Dawn the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few! Now you have a decision to make sit here and do nothing or fight this battle to the end, Now make your choice.

After listening to his master speak with such fire and drive in each and everyone of her words a ember in his heart erupted into a blazing fire his drive was coming back to him knowing that sitting around and waiting for something that can be stopped was the wrong thing to do* '' Master thank you, I wont ever forget the words you have told me. I will fight this to the very end if I must. With that dawn stands up and walks back over to his master wanting to know what his mission was to do finally.

Luna smiles knowing that dawn is ready to head out on such a mission she knows it will be hard at times but as long as he remembers he is not alone on this he will be able to get it done.* '' Ok Dawn your mission is to take this here box to Ponyville and once there I will need to to locate some pony's there they will be helping you on your task weather they know it or not.'' Luna pushes a lightly colored blue box over to Dawn and a book called Elemental pathways.*

''That book is to go to a pony named Twilight sparkle , you may have heard of her before she studied under my sister and you studied under me, but also she is a unicorn pony and is very good with magic and is a good reader she maybe able to help you learn how to use your magic, you never know she may become a better teacher to you than even me.''

Dawn picks up the book and the box off the ground and place's them in a bag that he wrapped around his body the wind's blew strong against his mane he was ready to set out for ponyville* ''My master I will return and i will finish this mission I give you my word I will seek out what this evil is and where it is coming from and put in end to it once and for all.'' With that Dawn heads to the edge of the town to the gates that leave the city, the gates slowly opened where the gate keeper pony wishes Dawn a safe trip to ponyville telling him that it will take three hours by flying and 6hours by walking and to remember to rest up if needed*

Dawn takes a last look at his former home knowing that he will not be back here in sometime he gives one last look at the town before walking away into the mist of the forest before opening his wings and flying up into the clouds and heading to ponyville* ''I wounder what ponyville is like and Twilight I remember you from long ago and what you did for me, I will find you and the other's, and nopony is going to stop me!''

After a few hours of nonstop flying Dawn lands on the outer part of ponyville,Dawn ties his wings to down so not to draw attention to himself being a alicorn and all once everything is done Dawn picks up the box and the book and starts to head down the hill into ponyville* ''Alright everything starts here my mission to save the world, to change my life , and to see her again. But just one tiny little problem. Where the Buck is Twilight's house ?
