The sleep is still in my eyes... the dream is still in my head... I heave a sigh and sadly smile, and I lie awhile in bed. I wish for it to come to pass, but I know it will fade like all my dreams. I lay on the uncomfortable mattress for hours, mumbling my goodbyes and begging the goddesses to understand my plight. I stand up, and sadly trot to the rotting desk where I once wrote musical thoughts. I take out the writing stick and a piece of paper I stole from my boss' office. My tears splatter on crisp white canvas as my last known words are written. As the writing stick makes the last line in the series of sorrowful letters, I sigh. I place the note, my goodbye to this cruel and empty life, in the Guitar case. I chuckle, it seems fitting that the case that once held my joy, now holds my sorrow. I walk outside the cove and say some words over my wooden beauty's grave. A tear drops from my eye and the water of pain seeps into the resting place of my inanimate love. I walk back to the cove, and take my last sip from my waterfall. I trudge to my mattress and collapse on it. I roll onto my back and stare at the blank ceiling, it only reminds me of the wonderful world of dreams Luna showed me. It may be blank now, but I envision carvings, like those on the spiral stairs of her astral night.

"Just think what my life could've been, in that old world I have never seen..." I say with a sigh as my tears still flow like a river of pain from the dead emotions that once filled my heart and mind.

I reach under the mattress and smile as I pull out my last blessing. A shining razor, it  gleams in the ray of sunlight that shines through the falling water. I hold it by my teeth and press it to my left fore leg. 

"Praise Luna..." I say around the gleaming blade as I quickly run it across, slashing deep into my leg I bite my lip as the pain comes, then goes. I watch the scarlet liquid flow out my leg. I take a deep breath and quickly cut into my right foreleg.

"Praise Celestia..." I say, making me drop the razor, that is now slick with blood. 

I let my head fall back against the mattress, as I smile I
start feeling colder, but also lighter. My lips curve into a smile as my body struggles to stay alive against my wishes. As my eyes slowly shut, I hear a loud hum, followed by a big bang that felt like it took and shook the world. I turn my head to the waterfall and watch my life blood run down into the waters that now darken with every drop of my crimson liquid. I hear another hum and loud bang. I know I'm hallucinating, I must be. I hear the third bang right as my eyes shut and my breath catches in my throat. A tear of joy escapes my eye as I drift to my eternal slumber. The last thing I hear is a loud strict voice from the sky 

"We have returned..."
