Shade of the Twilight

"My Lord, trouble at the border, large amount of timber wolves, changelings and draconics, need help."

~General Lightning Hammer

"What is that supposed to mean?" Rainbow Dash asked herself, "the war is over, the last time a Timberwolf was seen in Ponyville was 18 years ago."

She looked out of one of the great windows in her room, down to the brave soldiers wich were training for their first operation in  an non-friendly area. She remembered the time when she belonged to this bunch of ponies, a long time ago.

*knock* *knock*

"Come in" Rainbow Dash answered.

"Rainbow Dash, we are in serious trouble" Fluttershy, Rainbow Dashs leader of secret operations forgot about all the formalities, "We are detecting strong attacks against our southern border and we don't have enough soldiers in the northern fortress to send some there."

"Fluttershy, calm down. The last thing we need is an excited spy." Rainbow Dash said to the nervous assassin.

"My profession is not beeing a spy, you know that, but you also know that i'm right, So, what is taking you so long sending out more troops?" Fluttershy asked.

"That's simple, these troops you can see down there in the courtyard won't stand at the frontline. They will go on a special mission to find the responsible one behind these attacks and i'm going with them." Rainbow declared.

Fluttershy was shocked, did Rainbow Dash forget about the dangers? The risk that she might not come back?

"You can't be serious Rainbow Dash, you just can't"

"I am, more than ever before, if i don't go, these soldiers won't be successful. Please leave now Fluttershy, i need to think."

"Well, if you wish so i won't be able to stop you. See you tomorrow, Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow Dash felt bad, she rejected her first and best friend of her childhood.

I need to sleep, maybe i can handle things better when i rested enough.
