Finding My Own Mark

Dark Speed walks with Wryn and asks her many questions. "Why are you up here?" "I live up here, Silly." "What do you do for fun?" "I'll go out and fly." Flight. Dark had a flashback. He remembered seeing what he believed to be his mom and the first time he flew. "That's very good Dark, I'm very proud of you." Then the memory vanished and he saw Wryn standing next to him. "Something wrong?" She asked. "I-Its nothing. So why do you live here by yourself?" He said hoping to change the conversation. "Well...,"She started to blush, it seemed as though she was getting sad, "I'm the last of my kind, the last *sniff* Dragon." Dark's ears perked up when he heard her say that. "No your no-" He cut himself off. She was right. She was the last of her kind. She was a full fledged Dragon. He was a half-ling. He still wanted to tell her but he didn't know how or when he should. She started breaking into tears. He looked at her and with just five words he tries to comfort her. "I am... here for you."

She starts to wipe her tears. She looks up at him with thankful eyes and in a way nestled in closer to him. Dark just held her in his arms. After awhile it started getting dark and he believed she had fallen asleep. He picked her up gently and carried her to what looked to be her room. A simple hay bed and a sheet over it. He laid her out on the bed and let her sleep. He walked to the mouth of the cave and stood there for a moment wondering, What if he had told her? Would she be overjoyed? Relieved? Angry that he hadn't come sooner? He just looked out watching the night sky. He went to the edge of the mountain. He spread his wings and fell forward. His wings immediately caught the wind and he went straight back up he went all the way to the top above the clouds. He could see the moon perfectly. He hung there for a moment. Taking in the thin atmosphere. Then he furled up his wing and shot straight down. He closed his eyes. He wasn't trying to do anything fancy, he just wanted to know what it felt like to have the wind rushing past him. He opened his eyes again and saw that the ground was much closer than he remembered. He quickly pulled his wings back out and shot back up to the mouth of the cave. He walked in and checked in on Wryn who was still fast asleep. He stared at her for what seemed like hours. She tossed and turned a couple of times but nothing more than that. He admired her beauty. How it seemed like if she were to take flight all of Equestria would watch. What was he saying? He only Just met her, yet he was falling in love. He couldn't help it. She was the first one who hadn't treated him badly. Could he do something for her? Hmm he thought to himself. He put his hands at his side and felt something in his lower pocket. A key? To what, he wondered.
