Dreams of Ponies


I believe if there's any kind of god, it wouldn't be any of us. Not you or me, but just, this little space in between.

During a quiet evening of stargazing, Princess Luna and a young Twilight observe the night with mutual contentment. A small flicker of light catches Twilight's attention, a strange anomaly in the sky. When she questions Princess Luna, Twilight is rewarded with a story — one both terrible and beautiful.

Thanks, David. I missed a few when moving Luna's dialog over to modern English.

It was ok I guess. :trollestia:

This was a great read

another well done story dreams

This was a really nice read. Very enjoyable.

One wonders though, are the stars the souls of the children and does that mean they're stuck under the black sky forever, unable to move on to the afterlife?

I suppose it's more like that is their form of afterlife. :pinkiesad2:

That sounds like it sucks.

The really sad/ horrible thing is I actually could imagine Celestia doing this. I don't thing Twilight would smile.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :twilightblush:

I'm always a sucker for the "sadness of Nightmare Moon" stuff, but this added a twist I hadn't seen before, and made it feel very real and touching. Thanks for sharing!

This story was fun to write, even with some parts falling into more somber tones. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it and I hope my next stories are this well received too :twilightsmile:

Why must thou make me feel all the time...... *Cries*

Whew, a nice mix of dark and whimsical. Engaging read.
