chapter 28
I watched the two princesses' bodies tumble onto the floor and promptly dissipate into thin air, making me sigh in relief as the lightsaber twirled around in the air for a bit longer before I promptly caught it. I dropped down onto my butt and cast my glance to where the two of them presumably walked from, tilting my head in confusion as I could see a door in the distance. Why would there be a door in my dream, wait. Was this what those books were talking about when they said that Princess Luna used doors to visit people's dreams? Then that means?
I quickly rose back up onto my hooves and trotted over towards the door, coming to a stop just a few feet away. I scanned the open door up and down for a few seconds before humming. There were a few things coming to mind but I decided not to dwell on them, turning back around I wondered...
My question was answered as the slamming of a door was heard and I turned around. The door was once again shut and the chains that dangled from it, sprung back to life and started wrapping themselves around the door. After the tenth or so loop around the door they stopped and became inanimate, bringing an end to my impressed face.
"That was pretty cool.."
With that said and done I sat back down once again, thoughts mainly focused on the events that transpired not even a few moments ago. I didnt know that both of the princesses would show up in my head, at the very least I expected like one visit and that was from Luna. But with them both showing up and practically giving me a heart attack, I had to resort to the act cute and kill them right after shtick.
I sighed. If this was going to be a recurring thing, the lucid dreaming I mean. Than i would have to build some sort of defenses against this mental intrusion. I really didn't appreciate someone else walking around in my head. I really dont need any questions.
But with the thought of defense in my mind , I shrugged off all else and focused on that. Specifically on how exactly I could make it more difficult to get in?
Deciding to use my wings for once, I flapped myself into the air and floated on over to the big door. These chains wouldnt do by themselves, so why not some.. laser cannons?
With that thought a rapid movement caused me to turn around and stare wide eyed as a big, white and futuristic looking machine stood there. The awe turned into excitement real fast.
"Woah.."
Even though I spent like a good few hours battling against star wars things before i killed the princesses. Not a thought I'd ever thought come out of my mouth by the way. It still just took me by full surprise that all this was happening right in front of me.
Shit was just crazy like that.
But back to the friggin laser. I eyed it up and down before shaking my head, and it just as quickly dissipated into the black flooring. I could totally come up with something better than a laser cannon. Like..
"Master chief!"
With the sudden iconic character coming to mind I turned and looked up. Being faced with the main character of almost every single halo game, excluding reach and ODST. But fuck, was it cool. Even if he was just my imagination.
"Sierra 117 reporting for duty, sir."
I might just pass out. Though I have an idea.
"...Chief.. do you mind saying something for me"
His salute dropped and his golden visor shifted down to look at me, reminding me of how absolutely massive this guy was. Even if I knew it wasnt possible for him to hurt me, I felt my voice quiver.
"Anything sir."
"..uh, could you please say this-"
I quickly hopped up and floated next to his helmet, cupping my hoof around my muzzle as I spoke my request. Heart pounding as I dropped back down and finished my sentence.
"-when I ask you "what you think you're doing"?"
His arms crossed and he looked up at the ceiling for a moment, giving a small chuckle as he nodded back down to me.
"Absolutely sir."
My eyes widened and I started bouncing up and down like an idiot. Though quickly recollecting myself as I started going through with my request, suddenly the scenery shifted and we were standing inside of the cafeteria from the first game.
I quickly floated over to a random table and motioned him over, he turned and swiftly walked over. His visor scanning the area around us before opting to sit down right across from me. I stood on the table and giggled.
'Exchem.. alright, alright. Ready?"
He nodded. So without skipping a beat I walked up to him and asked with the most serious voice I could muster.
"Mind telling me what you're doing Chief?"
He was silent for a moment before extending a hand out. I acquiesced by forming a sizable cheeseburger in his hand, grinning from ear to ear as he started.
"Sir, I'm finishing this cheeseburger."
I jumped and let out a shot out joy. But quickly calmed myself as I turned back to him and nodded, smiling from ear for ear.
"Thank you chief."
"Anytime sir."
With that, he along with the scenery of the cafeteria dissipated and I was now standing back in front of the door. With a renewed vigor I immediately knew what I was going to do.
---
With a triumphant smile, I floated leisurely in the air and admired the work I'd done. The once empty space that lead up to the door had now been replaced with an absolutely giant maze, I floated upwards to get a better view of things. If the princesses were inevitably able to get into my head once more, then the terrors I had in store for them would surely keep them out. Albeit with a bit more questions concerning a child like me having these beasts in his dreams.
"Hmm..Nah."
Once you entered from the door you would be immediately met with a pathway into the maze. It stretched on for a bit before branching out into six different pathways, each one worse than the other. But the best part was, that I added in that little factor from the Maze Runner. These walls would switch every five or six hours give or take, meaning each pathway would lead to something different each time.
Along with it being incredibly annoying to traverse, I added in practically every horror device I could think of. From movies, video games, and even folklore.
I even added in Shreks swamp for the hell of it.
So even if you were to find the exit to the maze, you'd be pressed to actually get outside completely. For at the very end there stood a checkpoint, and at that checkpoint stood a single combine police officer, a garbage bin, and a single can. You know how that interaction goes..
But with everything said and down I floated back down towards the ground and walked away from my imaginary maze. Walking over to a moderately sized boxing ring with two armored figures standing on it across from each other. I sat down on a foldable chair and imagined a whistle in my hoof.
"Alright, Chief! Six! I want a clean match to prove once and for all if you two are evenly matched."
With the two silently nodding, I blew the whistle and watched as the two circled each other. But weirdly enough as the longer I watched the fight, the more drowsy i felt, shaking my head once or twice didn't seem to change anything. I let out a yawn on instinct and was slightly confused.
"--why am I so tir-"
I couldn't even finish my sentence as my eyes closed and vision turned white. Keeping them like that I then abruptly opened them again, getting flooded by the bright lights and overwhelming sense of comfort completely surrounding me. I shifted around as a test and felt the soft texture beneath me start to move with my back. Crawling up my back and placing itself onto my head, rubbing back and forth.
With confusion filling me, I blinked my eyes multiple times to rid them of the exhaustion and to get used to the bright lights.
"Finally awake sleepy head?"
The soft melody of a voice asked me as I registered actually being awake. Shaking my head one final time I twisted my head around and was met with the smiling face of mother looking down at me.
I smiled half heartedly back at her before rolling over until I was laying belly first on her chest. I gave her a small nuzzle before closing my eyes once more.
"Five more minutes..."
She simply giggled a response and rubbed my head again.
I was not ready to start the day. Especially since I wasnt able to finish that imaginary fight!

You forgot Halo Wars 1&2
I fucking love you, Butters.
There's something wonderful about Speckles and his ability to screw the princesses
... this isn't going to come back and bite him in the ass.... I'm sure....
Really great chapter. But I can't stop wondering how long it will take for him to figure out how he can manipulate the dreams of others and to use that to punish Princess Luna and Princess Celestia by messing with their dreams.
Welp I can't wait to see the Princesses' reaction to what happened and all his new traps and trials for them. I'm still giggling at last chapter.
Dreamscape, next night...
"This time we won't be surprised sister!"
"Remember to be not too harsh on him...he just a little colt Luna..."
*Nuclear Launch detected!*
"Wait, did you hear that?! Oh, look... a falling star! Make a wis-..."
Is he looking out his door at other doors or is he just looking at his door?
Yeah... I would've answered their questions and told them what I knew and sworn them to not tell anyone with a Pinkie Promise. This just seems like too much trouble than it's worth, and to be honest having the princesses on your side instead of wasting time and resources to find out what you are would be very much a boon.
Besides, how would it feel to find the dreams of the changelings and unleash Freddy Kreuger on them all? I'd definitely want to get some revenge on them, and what better way than a demon that's under my control?
10811071
Specs lobbed off Celly's head and Luna woke up was why I ironically asked.
10811476
Where'd that come from? Quite fitting.
10811066
lol, yes it does. I could see that becoming an inside joke between the them in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if Luna would want to mentor him due to his lucid dreaming not to mention after his manifesting powers are revealed. Celly had her personal student after all. Why can't Luna?
Oh! New chapter! Gotta go read it.
It would probably be wise for Speckles to visit the library and find something informative about changelings. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses will undoubtedly work in his favor when they inevitably return. As Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War, "Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril."
Furthermore, he should experiment with that time-stopping ability he seems to have. Knowing its capabilities and its limits will surely be useful in more than just changeling attacks.
10812450
Aww, but where's the fun in that?
I assume the princesses will eventually discover the truth about Speckles' reincarnation, but there's no need to rush things in that regard. By informing them about his origins at this stage, he would only be throwing away a perfectly good opportunity for some good old fashioned mischief.
As for haunting the dreams of the changelings, I agree wholeheartedly. From the fact that Speckles can see the door through which the princesses entered, I assume that he could enter the dream anteroom/corridor thing if he were to try.
Instead of all that stuff, I'd just use a 3 layer encryption password to enter, using characters numbers and symbols, only knowing the method and the original pass, could give you entrance, only a quantum computer could brute force it, but again, the princesses must know the method and pass even if magic could be use as a quantum computer.
10812532
But with Luna's help he could navigate the corridor to find the exact changelings he wants. Him locking them out like this is just preventing them from helping him.
10812262
i-
HMMM.
NOT SURE ABOUT THAT ONE BUDDY.
10812588
That is a fair point. Help from the princess would definitely make things easier, but would she help in the first place?
It is Luna's job to protect the ponies from nightmares. I doubt she would help someone create them, what with power and responsibly and all that boring stuff.
The tried-and-true method of trying different doors until you find what you're looking for is time-consuming, and Luna probably won't be happy when she finds out, but as my dear ol' Pa says, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Or he could do the responsible thing and not give the changelings nightmares at all, but c'mon, how many of us here would actually do the responsible thing if we found ourselves in this situation?
Lol need a chapter focused on luna just trying to get in, getting expelled by the traps one by one like learning a souls fight
10812825
And that's exactly where you're wrong. Changelings aren't ponies. Right now they're seen as nothing but monsters in this universe. Why would Luna feel like he was acting irresponsibly by giving some changelings nightmares, especially the ones that went after him? Yes, I get that she would caution him against doing it, but can you honestly say that she would be against it?
10812984
While it is true that changelings are not exactly viewed favorably by anyone yet, I really don't think Luna would allow any nightmares to be deliberately created, even if the recipient is a changeling. This discussion, however, has shifted into our own personal character speculation and opinions, which can really only be confirmed or denied by the author.
As for the original point, you would have preferred the princesses to be informed of Speckles' origin, while I want them to remain ignorant for the time being, mostly for humor's sake. I think we can agree to disagree on this subject.
You monster.
But now since it looks like all of the fun drama is gone (for now), it just makes me question whats next.
Luna is going to have a hell of a time
Er, no, I don't really. Could someone please explain the reference?
Also, for the love of all that is hilarious, make him do the thousand years of death from Naruto!!!!
10825011
Here ya go
https://youtu.be/QNd8iNx1gGk
I would love to see the princesses reaction to the maze in the future
Oh God Speckles is so adorable
A door opens both ways. Luna was lucky that Speckles opted for defense.
Well that's not suspicious at all...
I feel like the most effective way to keep them out without it making them confused would be to have it guarded by changelings, but then they'd be worried about Speckles mental state even more.
HE SAID IT! HE SAID THE THING!
