David is a seventeen year old boy, standing at 5'7, with short dark brown hair and ice blue eyes.

Amongst the cold winter night, within a forest in Montana, and laying upon a think layer of snow inside a small field, lay a young man. His gaze is upon the stars of that cold night, as he continues to dream about another world, far better than his own.

"Heh, I wonder what Dash must be doing right now..." David continued to wonder as he lay upon the snow, the only warmth being his military style jacket

He continued to lay there for what seemed like hours, listening to the woodland creatures off in the distance, just laying in peace.

David came to this field every week, just to lay down and watch the sky. He would think about his life so far, how he got thus far... and if he'll ever get his simple wish.

*BOOM*

"Oh frickin! What was that!?" David rose to his feet after being startled by a loud explosion, he searched the sky for a sign of what caused the noise, he spotted what looked like a small portal closing, along with a small object shooting out of it with a small rainbow trail alongside a smoke trail following the object.

"What in the name of... what is that..." David began shooting out questions to himself, instead deciding on grabbing his backpack from his bike, loaded with a knife, medical kit, flash light, and other survival kit essentials. He began running towards where he estimated the object would land.

As he got closer, he was able to make out the color of the object, it being cyan blue, he lost sight of it thanks to the trees surrounding him.

"Crap! Where did it go!?" David began trying to get a look through the mass amounts of pine trees surrounding him, unsuccessfully... until...

*SNAP* *SNAP* *CRINKLE* *THUMP*

Not too far from his current location, he heard tree branches snapping, as well as something crash into the snow.
Setting off in towards the location of the sounds, he soon came upon a gruesome sight. There was a mass clearing in the trees, one of them being knocked over and snapped in half, he then spotted a large trail leading up to a crater, with something inside. Thanks to the tree cover, he couldn't use the moon light to see very well, instead taking out a flashlight and cautiously moving closer.

David always happened to be quite brave, he may fear a lot of things, but instead he chose to face them instead of hide behind his... well... he had to face them now that he was alone...

'What is that?' David questioned himself, as he did he saw what looked to be a small amount of purple colored smoke rising from the middle of the crater. He attached his flashlight to a small strap and wrapped it across his forehead, atop his beanie, he then grabbed his knife for safety measures.

As soon as he got close enough, he set his foot upon the edge of the crater, glancing in, he couldn't believe what he saw.
The very thing he thought he would never see in person, was laying, unconscious in this crater.

"Rainbow Dash...?" David was in complete shock, he fell back and landed on his rump, still not sure if this was really happening

David pinched himself once he was able to move again, once he was sure this was real, he holstered his knife and jump into the crater. After several years of being on his own he learned a lot of medical skills and survival skills, he began examining the mare for what ever damage was done to her through this horrible event. He noticed that her wing was dislocated, easy fix for him, she had plenty of bruises and cuts, one major gash across her stomach though not enough to kill her. He took the time he had to clean and bandage her minor injuries. Thanks to luck, he was able to clean the large cut across her stomach and bandage it for now, he then turned to the last major injurie, her wing... knowing she was unconscious he used the chance to pop her wing back in place. He got a firm grip, then pushed as hard as he could, he soon heard a loud pop meaning it was back in place, but when this happened her eyes shot open. She bucked her back left leg and hit David square in the face, giving him a bloody nose. When he look at her again, he noticed she was still unconscious, so it was just a normal reaction.

Now that her major issues were dealt with, David noticed her body was shivering from the cold winter air. He took his jacket off and wrapped it around her, picking her up in his arms. She was roughly 4'6 feet tall. Not too much smaller than David, but he was still able to carry her, being a Pegasus meant she was very light, but still very strong.

He created a makeshift wagon from some of his supplies and nearby nature and attached it to his bike. Knowing her condition he pedaled as best he could but also took the smoothest route back to his small cabin within the forest.

'There is a reason why she is here... why would she be sent here though? And why was she sent here in such a terrible way?' David began questioning himself trying to figure out just how this all happened... while he wanted to see Rainbow Dash in person, he never wanted her to get hurt like this.
