First Flight
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was a rathier plain night, Darksoul was playing with Screwball. He had become better at hide and seek with her.
Now that he he knew what to look for. Before he could never find her, her natural talents hide her with ease.
But now he understood her nature, and so as well as she hide he looked for the simple clues.
He knew that anywhere she hide would slowly change dispite the fact that it hid her as she wanted.
He passed through the forest slowly observing every bush, every tree, every little badger hole.
as he drew towards a clearing he saw upon a hill that the flowers bloomed in the night sky.
They were vibrant and purple. Not like any other flower that bloomed nearby.
"MARCO" he called out. Screwball giggled nearby in a rustling bush upon a nearby hill where the trees opend their canopy.
"POLO" Screwball called out as quietly as she could...... but it was too easy, the purple blossoms rotated in a rainbow of
light.... he dashed up the hill to the long grass and purple flowers that bloomed from withen.
"Found you sister!" he shouted out laughing in the ease of which he spoted her.
"How did you find me so quickly?" she asked while pouting. "You gave youself away!" he exclaimed taking his sister in his arms and hugging her comfortingly.
"No really big bro....how did you spot me so quickly?" she asked.
He felt a forboding feeling and decided to dodge the question.
"It's this hill lil sis" theirs something special about it." he replyied.
"Well....." she hesitated. "Want to fly tonight?" she asked something in her knew he could.
"It does feel right dosen't it?" he answerd, feeling almost....enchanted.
Screwball simply replied by touching his nose, "Tag, your it!" she cried out and flew into the air.
Darksoul first concentrated, creating his magical wings with no effort.
He jumped and bounded to no avail.
"Brother you have to do better then that!" Screwball cried out laughing.
Secretly Darksoul was disipointed. he thought it would be easier then this.
He sat down and concentrated.
He rememberd the dream from before.
'Hmmmmm...maybe......' he thought and began concentrating on his hooves.
A red glow flowed from his broken horn, across his body and into his hooves.
he felt power envelope his stride, boosting his speed.
He ran up the hill and jumped towards Screwball. He came close and even jumped the hill side.
But fell down upon it's base. Screwball laughed at him innocently.
"You'll never get me that way!" she called out tauntingly.
The wind had picked up. The trees sang the song of leaves and shaking branches.
It cooled the sweat on his flanks, and it was as if the magic he used was calm and no longer concerned him.
"Ummm this breeze" Screwball said delightedly. He sat for a moment at the base of the hill and listend to it's whisper.
"Myyyyy SSssssooooonnnnn" he recoiled in fear at it's intonations. But looking upon his sister he saw only delight and pleasure.
It calmed his rapidly beating heart and he closed his eyes.
The wind seemed to intensify a little. pushing him towards the base of the hill. He imagined it pushing him upward and towards her.
The wind seemed no longer to push across but upwards, Sweeping beneath his wings and adding to their power.
A giggle escaped his lips though he did not notice.
"Here I come! he yelled at Screwball, once again running up the hill. Upon it's highest slope he jumeped in the air. Screwball laughed and dashed further away exclaiming "You'll never catch me!" A strong gust blew at the apex of his gallop, his wings spread wide and he took off from the ground. Screwballs jaw dropped and she squealed "BROTHER! YOUR FLYING!" Darksoul still had his eyes closed.
He opened them and was amazed. He was in the air! Anoughter giggle exscaped his lips (that he did not notice). He darted past his sister patting her rump "tag, your turn!" he cried out.
Screwball burst into laughter. "Brother, your too fast!" she cried as he darted past her, only a blur of greay and black and firey red.
Darksoul tried to slow down, only to flounder in the air and he fell.
It hurt to hit the ground but he didn't care. Screwball flew to him several feet away and hugged him tightly around his neck.
"You flew brother!" she cried out in excitement. "You did it!" he nuzzled her gently and she pressed her nose to his leg.
"I knew you would." she said
He had no words for her, so happy in this moment. he just held her tightly, and listenend to the wind.
