MLP-FiM-Shipping

Written By: Selene Bright Edited By: Beneath the Shade The cool, crisp air of the night caresses my coat as I stand alone, gazing up at the vast expanse of my night sky. The stars twinkle like a sea of diamonds, each one a story, a secret, a dream. Despite my efforts to focus on the present, my mind inevitably wanders to memories best left untouched. A mare shaking in fear, praying I won’t hurt her. I do everything to reassure her, but all it does is make it worse… and she runs away. This scene, repeated time and again, weighs heavily on my heart. Why must they fear me so? I, who guard their dreams, who fend off the night's predators, who craft a sky of wonder and beauty? I wander through the castle halls, the silence of the night echoing around me. The stone faces of my night guards are stoic, yet I can't help but wonder if their loyalty is born of genuine respect or merely a lack of options. The flicker of fear in their eyes, so carefully hidden, does not escape my notice.
