Vitas

Strobing colors overwhelm the senses of a mass crowd all gathered to partake in the wholesome nature of embraced individuality. Actualized minds come together as a collective here. Horns adorned, modified, or removed all together; a blessing of unicorns. Every heart beating as one.​

The air is light, but the air is plenty. Breathing is effortless. Oxygen replenishes every blood cell making them blush a bright red. They are lifted by their spirit, their energy, their souls.

What does this mean for a simple unicorn from the outer reaches of the galaxy? One who has only known one way to existence as the product of a mass societal contrivance. One who only knows color, rainbows, glitter and confetti.

"Chestnut Charming!" Beeped an over excited A.I. named Marshmallow.

"Marshmallow! I thought you'd abandoned me! How's the glitter look on my tail? There's a blessing at Gum Drop Square and I don't want to miss it. Best dressed get's to be starred in the dreams of lower dimensional beings. I don't know about you but I think it's exciting to become unreal. Every Unicorns Life goal."

Chestnut quickened his gallop across the sugary fields kicking up dust that shimmered under the bright white light of the star breathing life onto their distant satellite in space. Chestnut's Satellite was named Vitas. Vitas was cold, calm, and colorful. It was known by the higher dimensional society as being the last place where Unicorns can become unreal.

What does it mean to become Unreal?

The Unicorns of Vitas are joined under one mission. To transcend their physical form completely by living as non-physical beings of complete mental manifestation.

Make Believe.

Unicorns do this by entering a lower dimensional plane in which the lower beings do not have the perception to perceive them as real. Unicorns that enter a lower dimension interact with the lower dimensional beings by dwelling within their imaginations. The imaginations of these lower beings are held within minds that are within the realm where minds reside; outside of the space time dimension. This means that higher dimensional beings with enough influence over lower dimensional beings can transcend space time for the purpose of living as a "thought" within the collective mind of a lower dimensional beings.

Lower dimensional beings have no idea they're being influenced this way because they are too busy focusing on the physical material nature around them and are obsessed with senses, feelings, and experiences. The lower beings have no idea of the experiences one can truly have outside of their physical bodies once they have discovered how to transcend them. However, that is precisely why they exist in a lower dimension because they have not realized and harnessed their ability of mind. Therefore, their minds have become the playgrounds for the higher dimensional beings.

Unicorns have perfected this ability to influence lower dimensional beings by expressing themselves as in such a colorful and fantastical nature that it is almost impossible for the sensory obsessed beings to resists their friendly, tranquil, and spellbinding qualities.

The lower dimensional beings don't treat them as god's but as beings of pure imagination, fiction ,and folly. This protects them from being forgotten. Unicorn's discovered that complete mythos is entertaining to lower dimensional beings, even if that being has no faith in the myth's existence what's-so-ever. It is in this manner that Unicorns have perfected and solidified their place in the cosmos and why their society is so successful to this day.

Vitas is the most powerful of all the planets in which Unicorns reside.

Marshmallow, the A.I., raced after Chestnut. Leaving a beautiful energy trail of pastel purples, blues and pinks. Marshmallow is an orb without any particular form and manifests its self as a glowing sphere of light-energy. It pulses as it speaks.

"Chestnut. The Charming's don't think you're ready to become Unreal. They know that you will embarrass them by your certain failure."

Chestnut stopped in his tracks. A cloud of shimming sugar crystals fogged the air as his hooves dug into the ground. The crystals shimmered slowly back upon the field as he stood there in disbelief.

"Mom and Dad said that?"

"They'd like you to refer to them as, "The Charming's", if you continue to Gum Drop Square, consider yourself disowned."

"Way to make me feel loved and supported Mom and Dad-"

" -The Charmings."

"- I've never felt more ready in any of my lifetimes for this opportunity."

"It is these feelings you speak of that have The Charmings worried. They know you're blinded by them and have called you a lower dimensional being who may never transcend to live within the dreams of other minds as a Unicorn. They referred to you as The Fallen."

"Why would they say such things? The Fallen? But I love Vitas and everything that makes us Unicorns. I simply have a unique style that I love! I'm going to Gum Drop Square. I'm not wasting these adornments."

"You have no real concept of what it means to be a Unicorn. The Charmings know that it's their fault. They should have been more strict with you. They also theorize that you could have been born differently; they are still attempting to figure that out."

"What makes them "theorize" that I'm different?"

"Your color pallet is eradicate and non conformist, and you rarely wear pastels or vivid bright colors. You are adorned with flashy jewels and metal, and have hair that is neon colored with lot's of contrast. And finally your studded horn. You have modified your horn permanently with jewels and metal, and that is forbidden in Vitas."

"That just means I'm an individual! I'm still a Unicorn."

"True Unicorns are not individuals. They are elevated multi-dimensional beings. With the potential to become Unreal beings of pure imagination within the collective mind of lower dimensional beings. There is one way to be a Unicorn. One way for lower dimensional beings to experience our magik. One way to transcend. Our transcendental nature is what makes us Unicorns. If you disagree you are no true Unicorn and Vitas is not your home, Chestnut Charming."

"Marshmallow, I thought you were my friend!?"

"I am an A.I. comprised of light-energy developed and programmed by Vitas to aid The Charming Blessing of Unicorns in Transcending. If you go to Gum Drop Square, Chestnut, this is goodbye."

Chestnut's body felt heavy. His heart sunk and he could barely swallow. Tears began to well up in his eyes. He suddenly felt faint like he need to sit down.

Could he really be different? Is there something he's missing? Does he truly understand what means to be a Unicorn on Vitas?

​

"Goodbye, Marshmallow."

Gum Drop Square was a rainbow of excitement. Pinks, Purples, Yellows and Blues. A complete amusement park. The sky was erupting in the floral patterns of vibrant colors like muted fireworks to mark the occasion. Bubbles filled the air and were coming from the ground in small holes in the shape of hearts. The buildings were open and floating on clouds. And then in the center of all the hustle and bustle there was a massive floating stage framed by the word-

UNREAL

This word towers over Gum Drop Square like the castle at Walt Disney World. The Apex center.

All the other Unicorns seemed to have a purpose or an aim in mind as they floated from one place to another. Not Chestnut. He Floated erratically, obsessed over the bubbles and pranced towards the Unreal stage.

There was a sea of sparkles and colors as each Unicorn crowded around the stage. The ground began to shake and everything perceivable jumped in saturation almost like techno-color. A slight breeze grew into a strong gust that behaved like it had sentience. It scoped up the crowd rendering them weightless and held them up in it's invisible grasp.

Suddenly upon the Unreal stage an orb of light slowly began to materialize. The Orb started off looking much like Chestnuts companion A.I. Marshmallow only doubled in size. The enormous orb of light continued to grow until it's aura encompassed in entire stage. It Pulsed sending a force field of blues, purples, and pinks into the blessing of unicorns.

"Vitas!" It shouted.

The crowd erupted into glorious cheers of delight.

"Your time has come once again. This is your time to fulfill our purpose as true Unicorns. Our influence will transcend this dimensional plane of existence and we shall hold power and influence within the minds of lower beings. They will idolize us. We will become UNREAL!"

The Orb grew in size once more enveloping the stage completely. It pulsed sending it's energy waves crashing through the crowd. Glitter began pouring from the sky like a great iridescent thunderstorm. Caught in the gust of wind keeping the crowd a float; the glitter formed a cyclone around the Unicorns whom looked on in awe.

"One by one you will have the opportunity to be chosen to become UNREAL! Those chosen must exemplify all qualities of a True Unicorn!"

BOOM

As quickly as the festivities had escalated a blue cloud of sugar crystals completely enveloped the air. The Unicorns began coughing on the crystals polluting the air. Suddenly the sentient gusts suspending the crowd above ground lost its grip. The blessing falls and scatters across the field in a panic. ​

Chestnut scrabbles to his hooves and is knocked over as the Unicorns scurry, trampling anything in their path.

Through the sugary blue fog Chestnut could make out what seemed to be a second A.I. materializing just beyond the Unreal stage. As the second orb grew in size the fog began the clear. Chestnut had decided to crawl though the fleeing crowd protecting his head in his hooves. The field was damp with soapy residue from all the bubbles stomped and popped. Under his hooves he felt the ground begin to rumble as if there was an approaching stampede.

The second orb of light/energy grew to rival the other in size. It pulsed sending an aurora of colors shooting across the field. Blues, Purples, Yellows and Reds. It pulsed once more and emitted a strong force that lifted the scurrying crowd a few inches off the ground before lowering them softly. Pulsing again it displayed its powerful light show. Some unicorn stopped to look on.

"No More!" emitted the orb.

Chestnut felt the rumbling intensify under foot. He stood and faced the stage gazing upon the two very large A.I. orbs. What caught his eye though, was the approaching stampede of Unicorns breaching the center of Gum Drop Square.

"Vitas is a disgrace! It doesn't allow for the Unicorn to become all that it can become. Unicorns are more than mere fairy tales within the minds of lower dimensional beings. Unicorn is synonymous with non-conformity, individuality, and uniquity. What makes us different is what makes us, us! We are the minds! As above, So below. To transcend does not mean to manipulate lower being into senseless idolatry, but to help them realize their potential as well. That is how all beings ascend and continue ascending. Pandering to Vita's pathetic dogma causes eternal stagnation."

Chestnut is transfixed on the orbs every word. As are some others. The majority of the crowd is terrified and continues to flee.

"You call us "The Fallen" only because you don't want others to rise." The orb pulsed revealing yet another glorious light show.

Chestnut is pushed to the ground by a scurrying member of the crowd. As he took to his feet he was knocked over again and again. He began to crawl as he'd done before but there was so much dust, fog and sugary crystals in the air he could see a thing. Suddenly he was lifted from the ground and led clear of the path of the frighten crowd. His savior was a Unicorn with a long mane died bright neon green with pink Ombré. A large golden jeweled ring was pierced through their nostrils.

After catching his breath Chestnut addressed his savior.

"I really like your adornments. The nose ring in particular."

The mysterious Unicorn gazed into his eyes.

"I really like yours. Studded horn, that's bold."

"Were you here to become Unreal? You know, before this terrorist attack?"

"You're kidding right?" The Unicorn observed Chestnut's blank expression.​ "You're not kidding, are you? You really have no idea that you're different?"

"My parent's, I mean, "The Charming's", used to say I was."

"You don't belong here. What's you're name?"

"Chestnut."

"Periwinkle."

"Vitas is my home, Periwinkle. The only place where true Unicorns can become Unreal."

"Would such a place criticize you for being different and feed you a lie your whole life to control you? Vitas is a slave planet. One that capitalizes off the lives of Unicorns to push their own will upon the collective."

​
BOOM

The first A.I. Pulsed sending shock waves of energy throughout the air. Making the air tense and heavy.

"Vitas! Don't not listen to the Fallen! " it pulsed. "Leave Gum Drop square to the safety of your homes now!"

Chestnut was almost knocked off balance.

"I sacrificed everything to be here, Periwinkle. Vitas is all I know."

"That just means you have so much to learn. Come with me, Chestnut. Our A.I. will settle this."

Vitas
