Present day
"It appears it is getting quite late." i stated, pointing out the nearest window. "should we hit the hay and continue tomorrow?" i asked.
"It does seem to be rather late, i would say a few minutes until midnight" Twilight stated.
"Thought so, seems i'm not the only one who wants to stop for today" i said, pointing at the sleeping forms of Rainbow Dash and Applejack.
Twilight started to light her horn, but i held out a hand to stop her, which surprisingly worked. I used my magic to soundlessly and as steady as possible, move them to a small bed i made. Making blankets for each in case they did not like to share the same blanket. I also made small beds for the rest, Fluttershy got one in her colors, same with rarity, though her bed was a bit more fancy looking. For Twilight and spike i just moved her bed and his basket into the room. Pinkie already had a bed out of her mane, by the time i got to her, so i just made a blanket, since she left her's at home, apparently. My own bed was slightly larger, so i could fit in it without having to curl up into a ball.
"Well, goodnight everyone, i will make breakfast in the morning so just sleep well" i announced.
"That would be lovely darling" Rarity said, as she snuggled into her bed.
"Thank you, but i really want to help, you know if you want me to" Fluttershy said, as timid as she usually does.
"It's okay Fluttershy, i can handle it" i replied. snapping my fingers to turn off the lights. After a few minutes, i could hear the ponies sleep, and feel myself being pulled towards dreamland.
Two hours later {Spectator's POV}
Twilight awoke to the sound of rapid breathing, and as she looked around for the cause, she saw the human covered in sweat, and breathing like his life depended on it. she slowly made her way over to him, and shook him to wake him up, not sure what he might do, she restrained him a bit using her magic. He shot up, panting heavily as he awoke, tears slowly forming in his eyes. he looked down at Twilight for a second, before realizing where he was.
"Always the same dream, always" he simply said as he slowly laid back down on his bed.
"What dream?" she asked, releasing her restraints.
"My own personal nightmare, made by Princess sunbutt" he said, padding a spot on his bed.
"Would you tell me about it?" Twilight said, as she hopped up in the bed and sat down.
"Might as well, might never get a chance again" He said, as he sat up, making an extra pillow for him to rest against.
"So, how does the dream start?" Twilight asked.
"like any normal dream, stuff happens you never really remember, but after just a short while of me sleeping, the nightmare starts. my dream becomes very vivid, as if it's reality. but stuff is out of place, such as ponies floating about in the sky, without wings, and other stuff similar that does not make sense." he said, sitting back and starting to relax.
"So its still a dream, but it feels real?" Twilight asked.
"Yep, feels real, smells real, but i know it's not real. Anyway the nightmare starts just after i notice it's a dream. Luna comes to see me, floating down from a nearby sky. But as soon as she reaches the ground, Celestia shows up, and zaps her, rendering her unconscious. she then turns to me, slowly with a smile i can only describe as demonic, starts to get closer to me, all while charging her horn. Then as she is just inches from me, she turns around, and before i can even begin to react, Luna is gone." he started to get tears in his eyes again.
"But why would Celestia do such a thing?" Twilight asked.
"Because i love Luna, and she knows it, so my worst nightmare, is to have her taken away from me, and there is nothing i can do about it" he replied, stopping the tears.
"But that is not how Celestia is, she would never do such a thing" Twilight said, a confused look on her face.
"Seems you still don't believe me, then again, i haven't really told you how evil she really is yet." he replied, looking at Twilight
"I believe only what i know is real, you could be lying to us, and try to get us on your side." Twilight replied.
"Yeah, and until i can give you proof nothing will change that thinking" he said, poking her head. "Still, this nightmare is her doing, i don't know how or why she did it, but until i can figure out how, i cannot stop it, i can only try to live with it. Not even Luna has been able to help me with it, since my mind locks down as the nightmare starts, and kicks out anyone who is there with me."
"Interesting, sounds like a normal nightmare, but amplified and made very specific." Twilight replied. "I'm still not convinced it was Celestia, but i can try to read up on how to alter dreams, and track magic if you'd like"
"Better than nothing, now go on back to bed, we have another long day of story telling ahead of us tomorrow." he said, gently floating her towards her bed, as the spare pillow disappeared.
"If i have to be completely honest, you don't seem so bad. I mean Celestia told us you would destroy us as soon as you saw us, because we would be a threat to you, but you dont seem like the kind of pony who would do such a thing" Twilight said, as she was placed in her bed.
"First reason why i'm not that kind of pony, is because i'm a person" he said with a smile "Second, i have more power than Celestia once my magical powers are recharged again, which might take a few years, considering how much she took and for how long she did".
"I will have to test that out on my own someday, maybe tomorrow while we have a break in the story?" Twilight asked.
"Sure, but make sure your equipment can handle more than 9000 Thoms of magical energy, or you wont get very far until they burn out" He said with a smile. Which left Twilight staring at him with a disbelieving stare, and an open mouth.
"9000 Thoms!?" she shrieked, nearly waking up the others.
"Shh Twilight, keep it down, and yes, if i remember correctly, in my current state i should have about 5% of my total magical power, which is about 15000 Thoms, so if it is rated at above 9000 Thoms, it should be fine for measuring me, as above 9000 Thoms means its rated for Alicorn magic, which tops out at about 25000 Thoms." he replied, as he used his magic to pull Twilight's blanket up over her. "Sleep well Twilight" he said, as he applied a mild sleep spell to her.
It's... 1006.
7229419 What? Really?
7229445 Yeah, kick his ass, Tia.
7229478 ... I'm not Tia, but fuck it.
*Charge in face first and get the shit beaten out of me*
7229483 Well, that isn't right...
7229548 what am i missing here? i feel like i should know, but i just cant find out what this conversation is about...
7229608 TeamFourStar's Dragonball Z Abridged. We're parodying a parody of an anime in your comment section.
7229721 welp, that explains it, never saw the abridged DBZ, not even the original other than a few episodes scattered around on tv.
7229805 It's a fairly popular series on YouTube, that only got better as time passed... I'd highly recommend giving it a try, but I'd understand if it's humor (esp. Vegeta's) isn't your cup of tea. Considering how it's a parody of a show from the 80's, they tend to poke fun at the era's sexism and image of masculity, so prepare for the occasional reference to outdated points of view, should you give it a watch.
Love the chapter can't wait for the others
7229830 the problem was i never really got into the series, not on tv, but i will give the abridged version a shot, i have done so in the past.
maybe then i will understand the reference :)
7229991 cant wait to get over my writers block, and provide more chapters.
7230082 I hope you enjoy it as much as myself!
7229830 It's better to go through teamfourstar.com
7231536 I've heard.
When's the next update?
7561209 as life has a way of pounding me, like a little girl at a pedophile convention, i honestly do not know at the moment, i am working on it as much as i can, but between homework, regular work, and house keeping(as in cleaning it, feeding it and putting it to bed early) i honestly cannot say, however, the next chapter is almost at my minimum limit(which i have set to 800 words, with a roof of about 2500 for now), so maybe sometime near the end of the month, maybe sooner, maybe later.
also, sorry for the odd references, just wanted to see what would happen if i did write that in a comment on my story :P
7561634 No worries. I can totally understand that you're busy.
7561636 thank you, it's nice to have people read your stories, and not just spit out "MORE CHAPTERS" every now and then. i will do my best to get it done this month for you :)
7562084 Thankyou, very much.
7562137 you are very welcome.
