Morning star's Gambit

Flight to the Finish!

Previous Chapter

Okay let me just say one thing: Atlas's portals are awesome! Going through one gives you a super high feeling not to mention saps the energy out of you. Not kidding! I usually have a lot of energy so being exhausted was a 1st for me. When I opened my eyes I was out of the portal....and was now falling towards the ground! I thought I was going to die when suddenly something totally awesome happened: A pair of gold wings sprouted out of my back. So instead of falling to my death I was pretty much freefalling. Till I flew face first into a pole.

"Not bad for my first time ." Morning groaned as he got up.

Suddenly the pole he hit glowed then snapped in half. Weird.  Morning looked around. He hills and forests far as the eye could see. He walked over to a nearby pasture to see a group of pegasi..

He have never seen pegasi before, only unicorns and alicorns. So it was understandable for him to mistake them for alicorns. He squinted and realized that they had no horns.

If they don't have horns then.....what are they?

With his newly developed wings he flew over to them. One of the stallions turned towards him.

"Oh. You must be the new recruit. Your a little late don't ya think?."

"Uh...." Morning started,

"Don't worry I wont hold against you personally since it's your first day."

Clearly the Pegasus was mistaking Morning star as one of their own when he had just received his wings no less than 5 minutes ago.

"Sorry but I think mistaking me for a professional flyer," Morning said trying to clear up the confusion

"No need to be modest. We have lots of flyers: Some good, some... well no so good." He said pointing towards a disproportional looking white stallion with tiny wings.

"But no, honestly I'm just a cult."

Now the stallion Pegasus looked really confused.

"Uh have you seen yourself lately?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well I'm just saying that you look a little to old to be a cult."

"What do you mean I look to-"

That's when Morning star got a good look at himself. He was around 5'8 now and sounded at least 15 years old.

"old. What happened to me?"

"Weren't you always like that? What did you woke up from a coma or something?"

That gave Morning an idea.

"Uh... yeah. Yeah that's what happened. I hit my head on a pole and slipped into a coma. I must've been out longer than I thought. I just woke up this morning."

"Well that's very lucky of you." The stallion said smiling.

"Yeah. Lucky." He turned to look at his mark: the gold coin. "That's must be your meaning, isn't it?"
