A New Dawn

Chapter 8.5, Old Memories (mini chapter)

Darkness. Darkness in this void is all I remember. This light is different though. Trying to get out of here I head towards it, whatever here is. But, how much I try to move towards it the further it gets. Either that, or it's shrinking. Both are terrifying. On one hoof, the possible way out of here is moving away from me, or it's growing smaller until it will probably cease to exist. Better to pick up speed, if there's a chance for me to get out I'll take it, no matter how small.


For once I was optimistic and my faith was not misplaced. I seem to be getting closer. It has given me new vigor and hope. Hope, something I have never experienced since I entered the void. But a strange whisper tells me that I have felt this feeling before, how it knows that, I do not know. I have no clue who or what that whisper even was. It is strange, this feeling of hope, the stronger it gets the stronger I become. I feel like I can do anything.

I find one thing ominous though, I feel like I should get tired by all this running, but I don't. Strange. I won't complain though, as long as this doesn't come back to bite me.

The light, I can see it. I'm close. It's growing. Strange. It doesn't matter though, this will soon end, and I'll finally be free.


"Hey Grey, you there?"

"Moon Dust? Is that thou?"

"Yeah. Say, Shadow wanted to meet us in the cocoon room, you coming with me? Please...?"

"Stop giving me that look, Dust. Urg, I don't get how thou can look so intimidating one second and adorable the next..."

"You think I look adorable?" 'Gray' noticed a small fanged smile grow from the silhouette until it became a smirk.

"That's not what I meant! Thou art our sister!" A small giggle escaped 'Moon Dust'.

"You're soo easy to tease. You ponies are too funny!"


I remember that now. I think it was a memory. A memory from when I was young. It feels incomplete though, like something's missing or wrong...
