Glistening

You feel as if your back is about to break and the sweat from the heat seems to be forcing out every drop of liquid from your body. Your mouth is dry, as you swallow continuously thinking that you’re saliva will quench your thirst. The cargo on your back is for the upcoming galla chock full of cake, wine, appetizers, and the decorations for the prestigious event. Mentally, your mind is going crazy knowing that in your carriage is the salvation to all your hunger and thirst, sadly, there is a checklist with every supply needed down to every pony so even ONE thing missing Celestia will order you to travel all the way back to Neigh- braska to retrieve what ever is missing. “60 miles to Ponyville” the sign reads as you feel this huge wave of relief knowing there is a town not to far from the castle. A harsh wind blows over the land pushing sand in your eyes while blowing sand off the sign. “600 miles to Ponyville.” All of your symptoms of distress increase and your heart drops, no, plummets knowing that all your supplies are gone and you are almost on the last stretch of energy and hope. The sweat coming from your eyelids drip and combine with your tears thinking that this was your first and most likely last cargo transfer you’ll ever do. You would eat the food in the carriage at last resort, but the second you lift another hoof, you’ll black out from exhaustion. Standing there idle from shock and exhaustion you fall to the floor trying to believe the sand is your bed but only in denial that this will be your burial grounds.

    You regain consciousness but not vision. Are you dead? No, you can't be you can feel a wet rag on your head and can move but rather not since you are completely exhausted. You feel something on you and feel a breath blow onto your chest. "I'm gonna try to wake him up" one voice says. "Lemme guess magic?" another voice says, "Not exactly, I've been reading up on body reflexes and instincts plus I need to widen my range of skills besides just magic." You feel a hoof lower itself down your body and you know damn well were this is going but don't know why.
