Description
The sunlight awakens me as it peeks through the curtains, it's touch is warm. I try to get up, as everything starts to spin around. What is this? I try to stay up, but it's too much to bear.
I force myself to lie down, my body protests with pain. I can't move...

"Dinky? Dinky, are you there?" I hear a voice, I can't remember who's voice it was. Everything is so blurry, so... far away...

"Dinky?" The voice again, sounding more urgent. I try to call for her, but my voice is reduced to a rasp. I hear hoofsteps on the stairs. It's Twilight Sparkle, she promised to foalsit while Derpy' was gone. She is smiling at me.

"Dinky, I brought some games with me, and someone to play with," She says, when Sweetie Belle peeks from behind her. I try to get up again, but my legs are like lead, and they hurt.
My face twists in pain...

"Dinky? Are you alright?" Twilight asks in concern. Her face... so close, yet so far. Everything was spinning again. Suddenly it all goes black for me...

"Dinky? Dinky!" That voice again. It sounds concerned, memories of what happened come back. I fainted? A sudden pain forces itself to attention. I moan.

"Dinky? Are you ok?" It's Twilight again. I lie on my back, I see the ceiling, hear a muffled cry. Mom? Mom was gone, for her dress. How long have I been unconscious? Something cool is put on my forehead. Am I sick? I don't feel too well though...

"Sweetie? Do you know how to teleport?" Twilight asks, I hear a sob.

"I guess not," Twilight sighs, we never learned any magic in school. Sweetie Belle and I tried it once, but Cheerilee stopped us, saying it wasn't for little fillies like us. Twilight explains something to Sweetie, I can't hear it...

"Sweetie, you know what to do, right?" Twilight gives her a wink. Sweetie trots away as fast as she can. Something comes up from my stomach. I try to hold it inside.Twilight turns around. I don't want her to see me like this, I just don't want to worry her more. She says nothing and spawns a bucket in front of me. I throw up.

"Poor Filly, what is wrong with you?" Twilight is thinking, speaking in herself. I never saw her do that before. But she is smart, and I know she will find a solution. I hope she finds a solution, and that I get better. This isn't good, and now my mom is to worry about me too. Twilight's horn start to shine. Sweetie Belle? She shakes her head, as she could read my mind.

"I can't find what ills you, Dinky, I'm sorry," Twilight seems sad. I wonder if I really saw a tear roll down her cheek. Tears try to fight it's way outside. I can't show them, it would only worsen the situation...

"Is there anything I can get for you?" Twilight asks. I'm not hungry, I only want my mom.

"I... uhm... can I have a glass of water?" I ask. Twilight goes down. I'm alone, for the second time in my life I feel left alone... alone, it scares me. I shout.

"MOM! Mom, where are you," I start to cry. I hear noise. It's Twilight running upstairs

"Dinky! What's wrong?" She seems upset. Did I do that? I wonder. Is this the illness that hit me? What is wrong with me?

"I... I don't know, I'm sorry, I shouldn't act like this... WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!" I shout. Twilight's face is twisted in concern and fear. I'm sorry I shouted at her, but it doesn't seem right, this disease is changing me. But why.

"Dinky? Is that really you?" Twilight seems to be confused. She doesn't know what this is doing to me.

"Dinky, I'm going to put a sleep spell on you, just in case..." Her horn started to glow. My eyelids are heavy, I close them, and fade away in a dreamless sleep. The darkness is warm... almost like a hug.

Chaos warrior, you have been gifted. Do you take the challenge?

I wake up. I hear noise in my room and open an eye. Derpy is in my room. I try to stand up. Mom hears my stumbling and scurries to support me. My legs are so feeble. They feel like jelly.
I feel mom carefully putting me on my legs, I'm not sure they can carry...
Suddenly everything turns black for me.

"Mom?" I look around and see no one is around, I hear voices. Mom, Sweetie, and Twilight...
I try to get up, it's much easier now. I walk outside my room.

"Sweetie, get all the pillows you can find..." Twilight's voice sounded urgent. Everything gets dark again, my head is spinning.

Chaos warrior! Do you take the challenge!

Who are you? What are you doing to me?

CHAOS WARRIOR! ANSWER US! DO YOU TAKE THE CHALLENGE!

WHO ARE YOU? LEAVE ME ALONE!

CHAOS WARRIOR! DO YOU TAKE THE CHALLENGE!

yes, I take the challenge!

We are pleased with your decision.

"Mom?" I am awake again, and someone is moving me.

"Don't worry, my little muffin, everything is going to be alright," She says. Is she crying? She is...

"Mom? Why are you sad? It's only a flu, right?" I try to cheer her up, but who am I fooling... She knows it... Everything goes black again.

Chaos warrior, our hopes are with you. Fail the test and face the consequences.
Win, and everything shall be yours to grab.

Wait... What consequences? What are you talking about? Why me?

Everything shall be clear when the time is right, Chaos warrior.

What is my challenge? Tell me, I'm ready for it.

Answers will only call for more questions.

"Doc, is there anything I can do?" Who is this? Her voice sounds similar, but I can't recall who it is.

"I fear that there is nothing any of us can do, Rainbow Dash," I am clearly awake. I try to speak.

"Da... Dash? Why are you here?" I ask. Both turn around at me. Dash looks reliefed...

"I... uh... you... uh... Derpy, she has been a good friend for me, since our first day at school. She was the one who comforted me after mom and dad left..." A tear rolls down Dash's cheek.
I feel sad for her... Mom's best friend, and she can't do anything to help.
"Can you tell me a story?" I ask, as there is nothing else I can do, and maybe it will cheer her up a bit. I hope so...

"Well, guess I can tell you one, i'll be right back, don't worry," she jumped out of the window while saying this. I want to raise my hoof but something is straining my front leg. I'm trapped in a web of wires and tubes. It makes me claustrophobic, it's frightening, I start to scream.

"Redheart, I need your help, the patient is panicking!" I hear the doctor shouting. I'm still screaming.

"GET IT OFF ME, GET IT OFF PLEASE!" I screamed and screamed.

"REDHEART, WHERE ARE YOU, I NEED YOU NOW!" The doctor shouts more, much louder now. I'm blinded by fear. I try to shake off the wires, when I feel a sting in my leg. Everything turns black...

Chaos Warrior, your test is at hand. Know we are watching.

I will not disapoint you...

Have faith, chaos warrior, and only you will prevail

"Your mom is a dumb blind mare!"

"It wonders me why they haven't taken her away!"

"Your mom, she doesn't even get her muffins right!"

"Derpy isn't your real mother!"

"They should take you away from her, she can't even care properly for you!"

ENOUGH!

Your performance has pleased us, chaos warrior
Never lose faith, chaos warrior, it is your strongest weapon...

"Ugh... what happened? Mom? Anyone? Where am I?" I have so many questions, but first, I want to see my mom. I try to stand up, and brace myself for any dizziness to come. But there is nothing that starts to spin... I wonder... am I dead? What was it they talked about... Who are they?

"Dinky? Oh, you're awake," Twilight's voice sounds so hard. What is this, what a weird dream.

"What happened? Where is mom?" I ask. I'm confused, and I have no idea where I am.

"Your mom is right here, she overdid herself to save you," Twilight says, she looks clearly reliefed. I still am confused. Saved from what? I want to ask it, but suddenly the dream comes back to mind.

"Twilight? What is a chaos warrior?" I ask her. I want to know...

"So... it is true after all, but why her?" Twilight seems worried. I wonder why. Does this have to do with those voices, that dream?

"DINKY!" The shout startles me, but it sounds familiar. An intense happiness fills me with its warmth.

"Where is Spice?" she asks, she sounds worried. What has happened while I was gone...
Where is Spice? Did he... I can't think of it...

"I haven't seen him since we left the hospital," Twilight is staring at her hooves. Something happened, Spice is dead... I knew it...
Is this another test? to see how I react? I hope I'm wrong. Mom is crying... I feel a tear on my cheek.

"Uh...Derpy? I think it's better if we go to town now...I don't want to be here when it's dark," Twilight says. I don't want to either. The memories haven't faded out yet.

"Guess there is nothing else we need here..." Mom looks sad, does she knows too?
I still hope I'm horribly wrong. Mom tries to stand up. I hurry to support her. She soon stands on her own legs. I wonder, does she know that I'm the chaos warrior? We leave the hut of Zecora.

"Mom? Why is it so dark here?" It never has been so dark here. Is there something wrong?
It just doesn't seem right...

"It's so dark because of all the dark creatures liv- AH!" Twilight screams.

"Derpy, take Dinky with you, and don't let her go, she can't see this," Twilights horn starts to glow. What can't I see? It's Spice, I know it.

"Just go straight ahead, you'll end up at Fluttershy's cottage," Twilight says before she disappears. Mom puts me on her back, and togheter we bolt away.

"Mom? What happened?" I already know it, but mom shouldn't know it yet. She shakes her head. She does know it. I wonder, is this all really worth it? I'd rather die then see my mom being sad forever.
"Mom? Why aren't you answering?" She tries to hide something from me, but I already know it.

never lose faith, chaos warrior, it is your strongest weapon

"I'm... just quiet I have my little muffin back," she says, while she muzzles me. It isn't the same, there is no love, only sorrow. We come outside of the forest, near Fluttershy's cottage. No one seems to be home. Where is Fluttershy, she is always home on this hour.

"Derpy? Dinky? Oh, I'm so glad you're here, the forest is a dangerous place at night," Fluttershy looks relieved, Twilight must warned her somehow. Mom faints. First me, now Spice, what's going to happen next?

"Mom? MOM!" I scream. Fluttershy is startled. I bump my head into moms side, but she doesn't respond anymore...

"Dinky, go inside please," Fluttershy asks me, but I don't want to. I want to stay with mom. I'm standing there, unable to do anything. I go inside. What's going on, she...

I try to sleep a bit as Fluttershy is taking care of mom. I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I'm worried.
What if Spice really is dead, what if mom finds out? Somehow, I find a spark of hope, but...
I look outside, and see the sun go down. I see a green light as the final beams of light hide behind the horizon. I wonder what it is... No, I can't think of it.

I fall asleep. When I wake up, mom is gone, Fluttershy is making some tea. She gives me a cup. I stare at it, wondering why mom is gone.

"Fluttershy? Where is mom?" I ask. I see Fluttershy tries to evade the question by drinking of her tea. I sip of my own cup.

"She... uh... she just ran away, shouting a name, Spice I think she shouted," she says, I wonder if she really knows what is going on...

I run outside, but Fluttershy calls me. It might be better for me to listen to her now. I stop, and Fluttershy comes outside.

"Dinky, I'll bring you to the home," Fluttershy says. She gestures me to climb on her back.
As I climb on her back, memories of me and mom float in mind. I smile as I hear her voice asking to hold thight.

"Hold thight, Dinky" Fluttershy says as she starts to spread her wings. I usually enjoy these flights, but now there is nothing to enjoy. We fly high above Ponyville. I see mom running down there, why doesn't she fly? Is... no... I can't think of it, never being able to have flights with us 2 together...
We land at the hospital. Mom has just arrived and is crying.

"Mom?" I try to comfort her, but it only seems to worsen. She jumps up when she hears my voice.

"Derpy?" Fluttershy tries the same... but to no avail...

"Mom? Why aren't you saying anything?" I ask. The worst thing I could imagine happened...
Mom, sad, in sorrow...
A nurse comes outside, saying us we need to follow her, I hope it still isn't true what I think. It's just too much. The nurse enters the room, and mom and I follow her inside.

"Spice? Can you hear me?" What is she trying? Doesn't mom know it? I cry, the sight of my mom crying is just too much to bear. Searing hot tears well up. The doctors fake compassion is sickening. He doesn't know what we feel. He just doesn't...

"We did all we could, but he already lost too much blood, I am simply amazed he still lives," The doctor shakes his head. I feel anger burning inside me, this is even worse then what happened two years ago, at the school...

The anger soars through my body, more and more. I don't want another disaster like two years ago. I try to hold it back. I can't, I just can't.

"NO!" I shout. A brilliant light shines from my horn, brighter and brighter. I close my eyes. I see him, healthy and good. I keep that thought, it might be the last one I ever get of him, of dad...
I open my eyes, the light is gone. Mom is still crying. I don't know what just happened, but I feel very tired.

"Do you need another bed for the filly?" The doctor asks. He means me. Mom nods and the doctor calls for a nurse. A few minutes later, a nurse brings in a second bed. Mom tries to keep me up on my legs till the nurse is finished bracing the bed. The nurse helps me getting on the bed. The moment I hit the pillow I fall asleep. It has been a bit too long since I really slept. And whatever just happened, was really powerful and exhausting...

Chaos Warrior, once again you have shown your worth.
Your reward is given, Chaos Warrior.

That dream, that voice again. Who is it? And what reward is given? Why me?

"Dinky, wake up," I hear a voice, I never heard hers before. But it sounds so familiar to me. I try to remember where I heard that voice before. Suddenly I feel energy running through my horn, and through my whole body, is this the reward, the gift, the voice talked about?
I stand up, and see Celestia, Twilight, mom and dad. Dad! I forgot about him, I wonder if he is ok now. I see he is, and that is all that matters now...
