//------------------------------// // Chapter 12: It got to be my destiny? // Story: Unexpected Destiny // by Rising Shine //------------------------------// I open my eyes pretty fast. It's still night here in Ponyville. I looking around and see that Twilight falled asleep, her wing still on my back. How cute. I really start to love her. But I have to leave ... for her. For everypony. Complete my destiny. It hurts, really, to go away ... but it has to be this way. I sigh and try to crawl away from her wing, to leave, moving slowly. But she wakes up and looks to me. "You are not going away, Sweet." Her horn glows and I can't move anymore. "I know everything about you ... and your family history, Sweet." What? "What do you me-" But she stopped me mid-sentence. "I readed about your family in a book ... about lucid dreaming." "Re-really?" I look confused and shocked at the same time ... She find something about my family, in a book about lucid dreaming. "Yes. This world you are *living*, when you are dreaming. It's not created by you. It's created by one of your family members far away in the past. They all had that special talent, to lucid dream everytime. The first generation in your family history ... found out, that this is a really dangerous talent, because everything that happens in a lucid dream went real. So they started to control it ... and so, they managed to create a totally different world. Generation to generation, they made it to controlling it better and better. The names from your family history ... every name stands in the book ... and the last name in it, the newest member of the family ... is you, Sweetfull Dream. That's why you are dreaming a second life in your lucid dreams. And you didn't knew, what life is your life. Your lucid dreaming ... so, in a strange way, BOTH worlds are real. Our world ... and your lucid dream world. Because, everything you lucid dreaming ..." "... really happens." I can't believe that ... woah ... "Exactly. Sweet? It is really important ... did you really never dreamed about us?" I know, I have to leave her for the better ... but I can't lie to her. I love her to much for that. "I ... yes, but only one time. Few days ago, I think, it was monday or tuesday. You suddenly walked in front of me ... and you fell on your face ... you bleeded on your lips and you lost some teeth. Short after that, you where gone." Twilight nods. "And that really happened ... so that's why it happened to me. Because you lucid dreamed it. Have you something else to tell me?" I feel a little pain trough my head. "Hurry up!" "Ohhh ... no, nothing ..." I can't tell her about THAT! "I don't believe you, Sweet ..." I get nervous. "Twilight, I have to leave ... it's really important." "No. You stay here." I sigh and look to her. "I'm sorry, Twilight Adorable Sparkle ..." Without a warning, I kiss her on her lips for around 10 seconds, tears falling from my eyes. "I have to leave ... that is the only thing, I can tell you ... Good bye, my special somepony ..." And with tears falling from my eyes, I run out of the library, knowing, that this will never work out or happen ... "Go into the Everfree Forest ... when you reach it ... follow the light." "I do ..." I make my way to the entrance of the Everfree Forest. And there is really a moving light hovering. So that's how it going to end? Follow a light to somepony, you never met before? So long nopony get hurted, it's okay. I follow the light deeper into the Everfree. It is really dark here ... I only know, where I'm walking, because of the light ... Deeper and deeper ... I think, I walk for a hour now ... huh? A ... castle? "Welcome to your new home, Sweetfull Dream." "Stop talking to me ..." I make my way into the castle. It is still dark, even inside. Only the light shows me, where I have to go. After a while, I come to a smaller room. The light leaves in the shadows "Finally you ... uhm, I mean, finally you are here." "So, what do you want from me?" The pony, the one, who always talked to me the last few days, turns around to face me. A black mare, black fur, black mane, black tail. The eye color was the only thing on her, that is blue. "I need you ... to overtake Equestria." "What? No!" She laughs. "If you don't do it, I have to kill everypony, that could be dangerous ... including a specific purple princess ..." "Grrrrr ..." I glare to her. "But if you do, what I want ... then nopony get hurted." I sigh out loud and nod. "... fine. What do I have to do?" "I'm not powerful enough, to control the sun and the moon. Killing Celestia and Luna wouldn't help me to reach that. So I need them alive ... but I need something, something to keep them captured alive ... and giving their magic to me. That is the point, YOU come in game. Your lucid dreaming. You can dream about a machine, that captures them alive and giving me their magic. They are alive, but can't fight me then. Okay? Can you lucid dream about that?" I look shocked, but know, I have not much choice. "I ... I don't know. I only dreamed about that other world." "You can do it." I sigh again. "Fine ... I give it a try." "Good ... sleep well, Sweetfull Dream." I look up. "I don't fall asleep that fa-arghh!" I feeling pain in my head ... so strong, I ...............
