Dreams flow like ice
Black.Darkness.Nothing.The only thing Kasper Makarov saw was black that stretched on forever.It was something new for him he never sees darkness in the summer months.That's when he woke up.When opened his sad eyes and he could see clouds over him. He reached up and tried to touch them.To his surprise he's fingers found the cloud,but it wasn't a cloud it was cloth.He then realized that he was in his bed with the blankets over him.Kasper pushed the blanket off him and sat up on his cot immediately feeling the temperature change between the heat that accumulated in his blankets to the generally cold lab house he lives in.Shivering, he got up and grasped his thick insulated wind breaker vest and put it on.he walked over to his kitchen and made some toast,eggs and coffee.While he waited for his coffee to brew,he looked out his small 3" by 3" foot window and saw freshly fallen snow,there was always freshly fallen snow.The only geographic entity he saw was a small mountain range and a rocky shore with a sea crashing in to it.Out at sea he could make out flouting ice bergs and sea ice.The only living thing that was with him was a small impossible-to-kill-even-if-you-didn't-care-for-it potted plant laying on his kitchen table.He always had thought that the plant could die from Antarctica's harsh cold weather.So a few days ago he put it out side for a one day and then brought it in to see if it died,no luck.After that he felt bad for trying to kill his only friend,a potted plant, so he decided to never put it in harms way again and looked after the did-not-need-to-be-cared-for vegetation.He thought he was going insane when he first thought of the plant as a friend but when your out in a place were your closet neighbor is across the continent you'll be surprised with what you can make friends with.Heck,you could bring back a old child hood imaginary friend if you stayed here long enough.
Kasper has been here for 4 years 27 days and 8 hours studying ice again and again and for a group that works with the United States of America and New Zealand.The group is called the S.A.P(Secrets of Antarctica Project).The group works to study what life was like before Antarctica became a frozen wasteland.There are some labs that the groups are station in but they are on Antarctica's less colder peninsula and those labs aren't even manned year round!The thought of a station not being manned year round made Kasper shudder not because of the cold but because of the idea of not wanting to be in such a beautiful place like Antarctica.Kasper guesses that him being here so long made him like the cold and lonesomeness.but it was not always like this,he usually did like a small cold crispness in the air when he lived in the mountains of New Zealand.but he did not like the bone chilling cold of Antarctica.when he first got here he was only 14 years old and hated this place with all his heart not because of the cold but because of the kids that he used to live with on the peninsula.They would make fun of him because he would like to study this Frozen hell's coldest places.They would call him names because he was just a little different from the rest of the group.Most of the kids where the children of the researchers that wanted to fallow in their parents footsteps which was ether studying the continent's Biological life or the sea life that lay underneath the ice flows.But what they really started to make fun of him is when 2 years ago when he became a brony.That's when the teasing became taunting and the taunting became threats.
About 1 year ago his mother died.His last family.The last one that cared about him and welcomed his My little Pony love and his passion to study Antarctica's geology and ice.She died on an expedition to a mountain range where a bad storm hit their camp and froze everyone like ice-cubes.That's when the bullying became worse, but a opportunity opened to him.His work that he presented to the S.A.P interested the group leaders and he was given a small lab that was located in the middle of nowhere.When they said that he would be working with people and only stayed their seasonally he declined and asked to work alone year round and to change the location to a half mile from the mountain range where his mother died.The group leaders accepted and sent him to his station where he would stay for 12 years.Or in other words he would live there happily ever after the end!But this seemed to be what he imaged,to live here forever and ever.Antarctica is the place his mother perished,Antarctica is the place he will live,Antarctica is the place he will die.Antarctica is his destiny.
After a quick breakfast Kasper went outside in his protective snow gear to clean off the snow bound that always comes with mornings.When he was done he went back inside,gave his plant a few drops of water from a small baster and then headed over to his computer to watch a new MLP episode.He was very grateful that the S.A.P had internet through satellites so he could be connected to the world out side of his icy one.After one episode and a fanfic or two,he went back outside to chip the ice frost off his radiators so that they didn't freeze and he wont die from hypothermia while sleeping.When he was finished he looked in to the sky to see what time it is,only forgetting that in the summer months of Antarctica the sun never sets.So once remembering that he looked at his wristwatch to see the time."O crap"Kasper said while making his way to the station's door.He had almost forgot his weekly ice drill,inside he took off his snow gear,put on his lab coat and started heading to the Ice Drilling Dock(I.D.D.) to get the latest sample of the ancient ice.When he was there he turn on the drill and it came to life,the drill then lifted its self out of the ice-ground reveling the prehistoric ice that it drilled out.The machine then gently moved the ice poll out of the drill and the placed it on the Laboratory's examination table for research.Kasper then moved to the table and used a hack-saw to cut a thin slice of ice from the poll and putting the ice under a microscope.He saw different colors in the ice which reminded him of Rainbow Dash's mane,but he knew he could not be thinking of such things during work.All the colors in the ice where different gasses that existed durning the time the water froze into ice.There was a lot of oxygen in the air at the time also a lot of nitrogen in the small traces of dirt.
That means that their was an abundant amount of vegetation growing in Antarctica,Kasper was very excited to carbon-date the dirt and pebbles in the ice but that would take a while so he would put that off until another time.When he finished his research for the day he took off his lab coat and walk to his bathroom to get ready for bed.He splashed water on his face and looked into the mirror to see him self.He was 18 years old and had light blue eyes,his hair was black but with a hint of red from his father.Kasper missed his father,he died in a shipwreck of the coast off New Zealand when Kasper was 10.From all those years of sorrow, barely no sun, and work he was pale and had a permanent look of sadness in his eyes.
After he freshened up for bed he went to shut down his computer to save energy.Before shutting down his computer be saw his wallpaper of the mane six smiling and cheerful.The one of the only things that makes him smile is seeing others happy.but where he is now, he almost never smiles.As he got into bed the picture of the mane six still lingered in his mind,Kasper hoped that this image would visited his dreams to make his sorrow and worries melt away like ice.

After a long night of studying Twilight Sparkle finished her last book.With a loud smack she closed the book and put it in the "out pile", she had just finished all the books in her "in pile" that used to be at the end of the room but now that pile is empty.*Sigh* "I think I should turn in for the night"said Twilight while she walked up to her room.When she reached her bed room she got in to her bed closed her eyes and fell asleep.That night she had a strange dream.
Twilight was laying down on some thing cold and hard,when she opened her eyes she was no longer in her bed.She was atop a mountain over looking a snow covered land.To her right she saw large stormy ocean with ice floating on its surface and to her left she saw nothing but snow,ice and the mountain range she was standing on.In front about half a mile away of Twilight she could see a strange looking chrome ball.The ball look like it was made like a soccer ball but it was chrome.Then a strange figure came out of the ball. it was wearing some sort of protection gear and its face was covered.Over its eyes she could she a shiny orange glass protecting it like goggles.The creature was making its way to a small room about 40 feet from the chrome ball.The creature then fell and stayed their while the snow piled up on it.
"He was the one to save you,but I will kill him"said a mysterious voice that seemed to come from every direction.
"Discord"said Twilight defensively.She tried to ready an attack spell but she soon found she had no magic.
"Oh dear your witle punny horwn wont work"Said Discord mockingly.Twilight was scared that if Discord was free she had failed in protecting Equestria.But some how Discord could read her thoughts.
"No my dear you haven't failed.....yet." said Discord semi-reassuringly.
"But whaaahh..." Said Twilight confusingly
"I'm sure you have meany questions but I will only answer a few"said Discord's voice.
"Number one,what you are seeing is an interpretation of the future to come.
He will die and Equestria will die his same fate"
"Number two,he his the only one that can save Equestria and bring peace forever bla bla bla.But he is the exact opposite of the soul of Equestria.While Equestria is happy,warm,and friendly he is sad,cold,and lonely.This entity will save it from the very thing that almost killed your land in the very beginning."
"Number three,sadly,I did not escape from my stone imprisonment.But I did some how worked my soul in to the Dream world.Every soul always visits the Dream world while sleeping.In the Dream world there is no connection to magic,Think of the Dream world as a river,strong,ever flowing and crystal clear.The current that the Dream world makes is so strong not magic can enter it making it impossible for Ponies and Humans alike to really understand it."
"Then how could you enter it?"Said Twilight.
"Like I said,I will only answer a few questions" said Discord
"This will never work Discord"Said Twilight in a deep intimidating tone
"O I'm very sure of that my dear"Said Discord sarcastically
"I believe its time for you to wake up Miss Sparkle"
A loud sound like if Twilight was standing under a waterfall was being heard.after that darkness,nothing then light.
She opened her eyes to fined she was in bed with the sun light beaming on to her.Then she recalled the events of last night's dream and shivered like an ice cube was being slid down her spine.
