Something had gone wrong, very wrong. After landing on a crag he took a rest, but when he attempted to enter the Silent Core an unknown force rushed at him. He was now stuck in some kind of demented limbo, where he stood a collection of black octagonal pillars:red light glowed between each individual pillar. Taking a tentative step forward more pillars rushed up from an abyss to complete a path, as he continued to walk forward, his path formed by pillars he began to feel incomplete. he looked back to see his wings were gone, "No no no! Where are my wings!?" he looked ahead to see a column of light shine down as if in response to his plea, his wings rose from the abyss and bathed in the light. He rushed to try to catch them but they flew away creating a path of their own, hopping on their path he began to sprint. As he got closer and closer, the red lights began to flash as if in warning against continuing, but he did not care those where his wings. finally within reach he jumped and came between the wing set and he collapsed in pain as he felt his wings reconnect with his body. He got up from the ordeal and looked about, he had come upon a platform the red lights had focused into a ominous red path. Seeing no other option he followed the path, after from what seemed like forever he came upon a large black door. it was detailed in its curves and the way its threshold stood. He could make out words inscribed upon the door, Abyssal Halls, obviously the title, he looked under it to see another inscription, "Ye who beholds this the Cruelest of Doors, be wary, for this be a dark realm known as Nightmare Embrace, enemy of the Silent Core. Availing these doors require one thing, Child of the Fair Night, For you to when you enter to Brave your Truth and Keep Hope Alive, of this Is your ultimate challenge." After reading the inscription he felt as though himself being ripped from himself. the world warped and shook before changing into the Silent Core, Gasping for breath he got up, he was at the pond, looking up the Black Door had followed him and was now hovering in the center of the lake.
He looked around everypony that he created was gone but the ones that always were remained, terror was written across their faces The Alicorn however remained as impassive as always as it walked up to him, "Well are you proud of yourself? you may have singlehoovedly brought about your own destruction."
Brightest felt indignation but confusion at once, "how? its just a door..., right?"
No Its not just a door, its really what you asked for, answers. Answers I could have provided you if you simply waited but your darkness that exists in everypony heard your desire. and took momentary control. remember your insensitivity?" as scene flashed as it showed him cornering and interrogating a mare, "That's not you, at least that's not what your supposed to be."
"Wait, what I am supposed to be? Who are you?"
The Alicorn sighed quietly muttering something about a cat and it being curious, and dead. " I was your possible future, and may still be."
"What? Only Celestia's descendants are Alicorns, and I definitely don't come from her, unless... I didn't,"
"Yes now you see it, Your family comes from a ancient clan, do you know your last name? It's Havok."
"Wait how do I know this if I'm in a dream and your knowledge is my knowledge?"
"Go to the Abyssal Hall if you don't believe me, magic is powerful It can trace your bloodlines and show your family tree. besides, Celestia has parents right? That means at one point Alicorns were extremely common place."
Brightest looked at the door, the longer he looked at it the bigger a corona of darkness spread around it became. Looking away he just wanted to go back to the real world. "Fine said the Alicorn, return to the world, reawaken."
Brightest blinked he was back on the crag he looked around to see the door continues to stalk him it floated in the sky above him blocking the sun but casting no shadow, obviously it was here but it exists. He ignored it as he flew to his destroyed home. landing in the aftermath he looked around, seeing that the walls were still up and a roof remained he felt both sickening memories and happy ones. He stepped inside scaring out pink parasprites floating inside. He walked around till he stepped on a picture looking down he stepped on the picture of his five times great grandfather. when he removed the weight of his hoof the picture sprung out, it was folded. he gingerly unfolded it and stepped back in horror. his greatest grandfather was an Alicorn. his mind reeled at the thoughts that ran through his head, what does that make him? Is he an Alicorn? Is he going to be one soon? his mind paused, as he read a piece of paper attached to the picture, "To my dearest children, if your old enough to find this then you know by now, Brightest you will carry on the blood of a Limiter, your power to change things is dangerous use it with thought and intention, and you LightingCrasher will carry as an alicorn, a great honor. I hope that you will make friends and live out your life. remember don't tell your mom! P.S. if your reading this alone either of you, remember your fallen sibling will be with you, only by knowing you will find each other. -LightDark Havok."
Brightest Dark looked outside to see a white alicorn walk away, he dashed out side in chase but the alicorn was nowhere.to be found. A little unnerved Brightest set himself to ignore everthing that had to do with his power mysterious alicorn sightings, flying doors, Silent Core all of it, It was time to reclaim what was lost.
((He is not coming back till absolutely necessary, even if you find him.))
