Chapter 3 Magical Banishment and A Memory of Nothing
It was the eleventh pony in the set of dream who was actually happy about the Crystal Empire vanishing, King Sombra must have been that terrible to them. I had only heard rumors when I was alive about how he treated all of his prisoners of war. He would chain them up to join his “army” of slaves all just waiting for some outsider to intervene with his plots, nopony wanted to rise, and start a rebellion. All the ponies could do was wait, waiting for just the one happy moment that meant they didn’t have to waste away their lives on a system that didn’t feed their families, left them malnourished, and if anypony were to complain they would be punished. I would understand their situation, if I had to spend my days down beyond any other ponies belief then I would too want to leave that situation. I just don’t understand the ponies who are jealous of those who got banished out of time itself only to be woken up from a dream if the empire were to return.
Now I was to enter another dream of a pony who is saddened by the fact that her family was erased out of existence and was about to visit them after the royal sisters eliminated King Sombra. The first thing I noticed when I had entered the dream realm was how empty the world was. There wasn’t even an existing floor, only thing you could see was an infinite space surrounded with a background that look like the night sky. It was very relaxing to lose yourself in the random sorts of blazing colors mixed with the black emptiness. It was then that it occurred to me that this was the dream of my employer. Luna laid in the “middle” I could say of the background completely blending in with it. I wondering what I’m doing here, aren’t there others that need help? She laid there crying, slowly saying to herself “tis not fair!” eventually rising to a scream, the surroundings turned into Canterlot castle in which Luna and her sister were overlooking a very large crowd that had gathered in the courtyard all cheering for the fact that the war has ended. Only the crowd wasn’t shouting for the both of them, but for Celestia. The shade of Luna laying on the ground cried harder, maybe I had entered the wrong portal. This hadn’t happened yet, but I felt like I should stay and help her out. I knew I had a job to do and cheer up some other pony, but this seemed a lot more important. She is an alicorn, and if her emotions go unchecked by other ponies who knows what could happen to the outside world. I slowly approached Luna, she didn’t even notice me what was I to do, it’s not like I have much experience with jealousy.
“You know it’s a bit foolish to spy on somepony who’s more powerful than you.” Luna said as she lifted her head from what seemed as an ocean of tears. She raised her horn, and got into a magical battle stance only to fire off a spell I didn’t recognize.
I woke up in what seemed to be an endless void, was this some sort of banishment for me? I walked for what seemed to be a life time only to be where I had been before, in the endless void. I decided what was the point to moving if I was only going to get myself nowhere. Then it occurred to me. The simple problem is that I believed that I’d get no-where if I kept on moving. I thought of my old home on the moon in which I would shelter myself from the coldness of the vacuum above. I suddenly realized that I was sitting in the middle of my home in the core of the moon. I ascended to long staircase to the top of the stairs. I found Luna starring waiting next to my door.
“You shouldn't mettle in others affairs, I’m fine, and you should have saved that pony from her nightmare instead, you decided to waste your time and attempt to help somepony who is far out of your reach.” Luna said as I back away from her and her glowing eyes, her eyes were blazing hot. Pure white, starring into them blinded me, then I felt warmth again as I had only dreamed of my home again, but this time it wasn't of the dull home I have on the moon, but the relaxing home back in equestria where I had built memories with my family. It’s hard to realize how much you miss a place until you revisit it. Is my life going in reverse? Everything seemed very odd, I couldn't remember anything, what was I doing in my room? Why was mom uncooking breakfast? Somehow my little brother was erasing his answers with the graphite of the pencil instead of the eraser, the time seemed to speed up at a rate that made everything unrecognizable. Now there was nothing, except my memory of how to read write and… I swear I was about to… What?…
