WinterLily opened her eyes, she was in a black world. A-am I...seeing?. Soon voices came out of nowhere it was harsh and painful. she looked over to find many odd looking ponies. Some of them had muzzles on their foreheads. Though they seemed all so different, they all had one thing in common. They were laughing at her. She started backing up and hunched over, like a pony trying to hide from a feral animal. It only had been a few seconds and she wanted to burst into tears, this seemed so real and so fake at the same time.  No please stop! I'm not bad...I'm just different! Please don't hurt me! Stop laughing! she cried. The abyss mimicked her thoughts.

"STOP!" she shrieked. She backed up confusedly. Had...she said that? Certainly not, she never spoke, she couldn't speak even if she wanted to. The ponies kept laughing, and now started pointing. She curled on the cold floor and cried in a hoarse voice "please...stop laughing, what did I ever do to deserve this?" 

She looked up. A dark grey shadow was burry but in the distance. This seemed like her fate, even if this was her dream. When it got closer she could see the shape. It was a pony, not like the ones laughing at her, this one was dark blue. She wore a black thing on her head and her mane was silky. Could this be RainbowDash? She stopped her sniffles and sat up. The blue mare shot magic energy out of her horn at the crowd of laughing ponies. 

They disappeared and she landed, she regally strode towards her. "Hello young, filly," this certainly wasn't Rainbowdash, she held an accent, not like the one the farmpony had. She smiled "I am Princess Luna, has thou not heard of me?" She asked. WinterLily stood in awe. The pony was not just beautiful, but also a princess. 
"Where are we? Why can I see? Why can I speak?" She questioned her eyes were wide with joy and disbelief.The mare laughed and explained to her about the dream world and who she was.

"The dream world is a realm only certain ponies come to. Most ponies come and see this darkness in their sleep, others let their sleeping imagination flow. I'm not just the raiser of the moon, or princess of the night, I'm also the protector of this world." She said matter-of-factly. "So anything I can imagine can happen? Am I imagining this?" "No thou isn't imagining this, every night I save ponies from bad thoughts or nightmares." She shuttered using the word 'nightmare'. This confused her at the same time but she was too scared or excited to reply.

WinterLily thought for a second then asked "Can I imagine my family?"
