It was Year 3 of the Training,and Sure Rainbow was a Wonderful Flier,Things Tested her,Pushed her Limits,Broke her Personal records and of course,an ungodly amount of minor cuts,sprains,Bruises and fractures.
But today was different...
It was Windy,Nothing that Pegasus couldn't handle,A storm Lightly Brewed
"Captain,Are you sure we can...*gulp* Do this?" Rainbow said
"You'll be fine!" She sighed
"Okay,Team Lets go!" She said taking off
the others followed
"Okay Cloud Trick Alpha one!" She smiled her lips pressed together.
The Ponies began moving,As rainbow heard Thunder in the background.
"Careful out there!" She called
The trick went flawless and she cheered
"Awesome! We got it down!" She smiled
"Lets Try a new one!" She said,Always Eager to to try something new
"Okay this is how this trick works,..." She explained
and she would command the trick to begin "Last Trick Team,A thunderstorm seems to be heading our way." She said,Not looking at the speed of the impeding storm.
As the trick started,it rained,heavily,Making movement sluggish.
"Come on! You can DO THIS!" She encouraged
But As she flapped the Water conducted the lighting to strike her,on her left wing
The sky was filled with a Bloodcurdling,Painful,and Hollow Scream
"CAPTAINS DOWN!" a Wing-pony Said getting down to the cloud and looked at the damage
"Oh Dear Luna." She said Shielding her eyes in horror
The Pegasus's body convulsed and twitched,as the hair was burned and her coat caked in ash,her left wing covered in Blood,Hanging Skin and Pus as White blood cells tried to stop the bleeding
Rainbow was barely there,her eyes glassed over and moaning slightly in pain,that's all she can do
"SpitFire! Spitfire! There was an Accident on the Training Sky." A pony said
"Whos hurt and what happened." Spit said looking up
" Rainbow and she got struck by lighting,when you told her to train us in the rain." She said timidly
"I'll get the medics,is anyone preforming First aid." She asked
"Wind Chaser." The pony nodded slowly
"Okay,Make sure everything's okay...and calm everyone down,she'll be fine." SpitFire said
and with that the pony trotted out,knowing that this wasn't gonna end well.
In the Musty Bedroom,A Mare cries into her pillow alone she thrashes,her once flawless hooves,sliced open by a blade
The Mare sighed and slid off her bed
"I...I can't do this anymore..." She said turning to the one thing she wanted more than anything,But she failed to even get a chance...
She looked around the room..."If I do go...Someone needs to take care of my...Things." She choked,unaware of her voice quivering with each sentence.
Slowly,the Pegasus got up,Shakily and her breathing fast and shallow,Thoughts racing.
She went back to her bed,and slowly fell asleep
The Next Morning...
The Mare woke up and fluttered her wings as she looked to her pet,who didn't look to concerned
"Who am I gonna give you to?" She pondered
The pet seemed to look for a moment and went to his business
"Eat up Tank." The rainbow Mare said coldly
The Turtle ate slowly,Looking off to his owner and nudging her softly
"What!?" She growled
The turtle looked concerned
"I'm fine!" She snapped,but she wasn't,Ever since the accident,at the Academy...She had to give up flying,her Left wing broken beyond repair,and with the wing shattered,so did the lifelong goal.
Dashs head turned to the window and she bit her lip
"I'll be back.." She sighed
And the door slammed tight
