Pony Split
Chapter 14 – Falling Inside the Black
Somewhere in the realm of unconsciousness
A unicorn walked through mists of darkness, stepping cautiously through the desolate wasteland.
How long have I been here? Where am I? Why do I feel so alone? These thoughts plagued his mind without relent.
He suddenly heard a voice, "Where…he?"
"I'm not surprised… full… cast."
"Ladies… let… Luna…alone…Pure Heart."
He could only hear bits and pieces of what they were saying, though he had no idea why. He kept walking, even though he was completely blind as to what was around him.
Soon that changed as he began to catch glimpses of ponies. They seemed to talk to him somewhat, and he could hear them kind of as well.
At one point, there was this pink pony that would just not seem to shut up. She kept rambling on and on about parties and ponies and something called 'Gummy'. She then started to poke him and wouldn't stop. He tried to slap away her hoof away but couldn't feel his arms at all. Eventually someone came in and told her to knock it off. Thank you!
Then there was this one alicorn. She just seemed to stay by his side for so long. Then she would snuggle up next to him and he would feel some kind of warmth emanating on his side.
She seemed to talk to him the most and would often tell him things like, "I love you," and, "Please wake up?"
It was all very confusing to him. Was he asleep? He couldn't, he could see things sometimes, plus he didn't feel like he was asleep. But that might make some sense of this horribly dark place. This place that was completely devoid of life and light.
If this was indeed the case, he had to try to wake up. This place kept him as its prisoner for too long. It was time to escape this asylum of sheer darkness.
He tried to take another step, but as soon as he set his hoof down on the black, curdled soil, it cracked. He heard rumbling all around him and he ran, afraid of what was happening. The ground around him began to collapse. A void, that seemed infinitely more dark and depressing as the place that he was bound to, opened up and swallowed him whole. He fell for a very long time and he couldn't stop or call for help. He was falling inside the black.
