The Darkness of the Sun


Chapter 0: When the Eclipse is near

>"Anon?"
>"Anon!"
>Your head rings like a bell on drugs
>"Anon, wake up!"
>You can't open your eyes
>"*gasp* Anon!"
>This shit is getting worse, damn
>You cannot understand what the fuck is going on
>"Come on, Anon, don't leave me!"
>Wait, what the fuck?
>You feel something heavy on your chest
>And sobbing
>"Anon, please..."
>"I can't take it anymore..."
>What the hell happened? You just passed out on a street, and now somebody needs you

>"'Nonny..."
>"Please..."
>You try gathering all your might
>Every muscle of your body shivers
>Something's still sobbing on you
>It gotta stop
>Now
"I ain't goin' anywhere anytime soon."
>As your eyes open, your vision is blurred by a mixture of sunlight and something dark on you
>"Nonny!"
>A bonecrushing hug weighs down upon you
>Looks like the creature is happy
>You try hugging it back, only realising that you don't have any fingers
>And that could only mean...
"Anon's home."

>"Anon! I can't believe you're still alive!"
>What the hell happened?
"What? I don't wanna die."
>"I mean..."
>The creature on top of you sits still for a moment beside you
>"It's been... Kinda a long time..."
>Aw, your eyes are open again
>OH SHIT WHAT IS THAT
>CLOSE THEM BACK

>"A-anon? What's wrong?"
"Who the fuck are you?"
>You try standing up while green hooves cover your eyes
>It's really hard
>"I... I don't think you know me, but..."
>"I can tell you what happened, I promise!"
"If I can manage looking at you without puking, sure."
>"..."
>Sobbing again
>Welp, at least you can tell it's a mare
>Your eyes still shut as hard as you can, you pat her on the shoulder with your right hoof
"Ssh... Don't worry."
"I think I can manage bearing you for a couple seconds longer."
>What the fuck is this gal a hug champion? Your bones will be dead by the end of this day
>Although you're not sure if it's day or not...
>Open your eyes, just for a second...
>OH GOD SHE'S UGLY
>It's night
>Though there's light from somewhere...

>She could at least hide in the dark or something
>With fur like this she could hide in absolutely anything, no pun intended
"So, care to tell me what's going on?"
>"Um, we'll need to go to back to town for that..."
"Alright, can you at least put off the light or whatever it is?"
>"Uh, why do you need that?"
"Just do it."
>You feel the light go off
>It must've been behind you
>You open your eyes
>Uh, it's all good
>It seems like you're in a forest or something
"Where are we?"
>Her eyes glow slightly in the dark, reminding you of her awful appearance
>"In the Everfree. We're quite a mile away so the fire won't reach us."
"The fire?"
>"..."
>"I'll show you later."

>This whole situation is getting really bad really fast
"But can you at least tell me what happened?"
>"Um..."
>"Uh, we have plenty of time anyway."
