//------------------------------// // A Dream of the Future // Story: War on Harmony // by MacJack //------------------------------// I found myself in Ponyville and everywhere I looked I noticed that everything was being devoured by shadows. That's when I noticed that I wasn't alone. Four ponies stood with me, although their faces were too blurred for me to make out I saw that there was two mares and two stallions. Two Earth ponies, a Pegasus, and a Unicorn. The Pegasus had a grey coat and blond mane, the Unicorn had a white coat and blue mane, one of the Earth ponies had a red coat and a straw colored mane, and the other Earth pony had a brown coat and chestnut mane. Then a male voice spoke out from an unidentifiable location. "The ponies you see here Spike will be your closest friends and greatest allies." "But who are they?" "You will know when the time is right." Then I found myself at the Castle of the Two Sisters except, it was completely rebuilt and I was standing with an Alicorn with a midnight blue coat like Luna's and a dark green mane. Then everything faded and morphed into a grassy field. 'Where am I?' That's when I noticed a dark red dragon approaching me. It was a female and I could tell that she had seen a lot in her years. "Spike I'm so glad to finally meet you." she said. "How do you know my name? And who are you?" "Spike, I am your mother. And I've been watching over you since your early years with Ms. Sparkle." I was stunned, does that mean that the talk of Ruby's egg in Logan's journal was about my egg? "But why didn't I hatch before the kingdom fell apart?" "Your father thought it was some kind of curse, as for me I thought that maybe you weren't ready, but Prince Logan thought that it had to do with the magic fields and/or fate." "Tell me more about Logan." "He was very adamant toward maintaining a strong relationship with the ponies of Equestria, and he was the most magical gifted dragons since before the fall of the Dragirian Empire." But before I could ask anything else the field started to fade and warp. "Spike you're starting to wake up but before I go I will tell you this: Logan will be with you during this battle and afterwords, help him adjust to this new time period and help him reunite with Celestia and Luna." "OK I will but tell, who are those ponies that appeared here in my dreams?" "You'll learn soon enough."
