Stay positive, and all. >Somedays though, the future was scary. >Not the knowing but the not knowing. >Whenever her body acted strangely she knew something was about to happen, something that affected her and her friends. >But she never knew what, not the first time a new sensation occurred. >Could be a surprise muffin from Derpy, or new visitor to Ponyville >Or it could be a bad thing, that she knew would happen but couldn't warn her friends about in time. >Once she knew what a specific seizure meant, however, she could protect her friends from the prophesized danger.

Before the...something began. >She didn't notice it for a while. Her body was always twitching and shivering this way and that, so it didn't stand out much. >But at some point she noticed, that underneath her muscle twitches, spams, and nerve shivers was something else. >It was a coldness. An iceyness, and a blackness, that filled her yet felt so far away. >When she closed her eyes and focused on her body's mood, she felt it in every part of her. Her bones, her muscles, her skin. >It filled her eyes and stopped her ears with a pressure that could deafen her if she dwelt on it too long. >And it gave her dreams. Of being under a thousand miles of moonless ocean. >A sheer black immensity suffocating her in pressure. No way to escape to the air above, and no indication of anything below. >But no matter how hard she thought on it she didn't know what it was. >It was something immense. Not hostile but...apathetic. >She knew though that it was something bad, it filled her with dread and reminded her of those drowned dreams. >She knew something was coming, but that didn't bother her. >No, not the knowing. But the not knowing...
