The young filly was only born a day ago, and was still working on learning the faster gates. Her fiery hair whipped about her small form as she looked around in the windy area. She tossed her head, wishing she could run with the other foals around her. She sighed with gusto, the shorter flames of her tail lazily brushing her rump. Then the world around her turned cruel, harsh, hateful towards her. Foals with the ability to move objects tossed heavy stones at her, cutting and bruising her new, soft flesh painfully. Then a rock caught her on the muzzle and she started falling, down and through the earth, being pressed, choked by the soil and rock as she is forced entirely underneath - doomed to die.
I twitched in the nightmare, trying to wake myself desperately, having the same nightmare yet again. I dreaded sleep, had a deep hatred for the stars and moons, for they signaled night time and thus being forced to lie down abd fall into slumber.
After many moments of terrifying darkness, I kicked awake to find a butterfly on my black hoof, basking in the late morning sunlight. "Hello." I murmured to it before it flew lazily away, dancing around flowers and other equine. I watched it all as I tried to remove the nightmare from my mind whilst it replayed itself relentlessly. I had been having that nightmare each time I tried to sleep. "Mom?" I called nervously, forcing my shaking form into a standing position and looking around for my mother.
