Trying to Start Over

Kalib pumped his wings as hard as he could as rain poured down around him steadily, he wiped his goggles quickly and thunder sounded in the distance causing him to seize up for a second before regaining control. He had been flying for four days straight and his wings would periodically fade out causing him to plummet several miles until he got them working again. He rolled around a bolt of lightning hoping that he could block out the crash of the thunder but then it sounded right beside him and he felt himself completely black out.

Tulip walked around the clearing that she has been cultivating for the past month and a half. She had the ability to grow tulips quickly but she always found a joy in growing through out the season. Though with her ability she can grow her flowers bigger and quicker; which she'd do for special events, for around the house she would always take her time carefully cultivating the natural beauty in her flowers. Tulip always took her time dig up her flowers so that she doesn't damage the roots in the process. She gently pushed a bug away from one of her plants as she heard a slightly painful whistling somewhere and and barely jumped out of the way as someone shot by her into the ground and she winced at the sound as the pony plowed through the ground almost hitting one of the trees in the clearing. She dropped the tulips she had into her basket before trotting over to the newly formed trench. Tulip could get close to the piled up dirt since it was heated up to a cool orange but it didn't flow.

When Tulip pushed the dirt out of the way with magic just enough to see what was inside she gasped. The stallion inside was definitely unconscious but surprised Tulip the most that he was still alive after a fall like his, which had to be over 10,000 feet of altitude and while wearing a full set of body armor. She cleared her head of all other thoughts except the stallion and focused all her magic on lifting him out of the ditch. This seemed to take forever once Tulip pulled him close enough for the dampening efffect on the stallion's armor to take affect causing him to dip dangerously closer to red hot dirt. Tulip strained to keep him from getting injured any worse but she couldn't help herself as the stallion dropped heavily onto the ground outside the ditch.

"Hey, can you hear me?" Tulip asked the stallion as she shook him gently.

He groaned in response and Tulip sighed as she picked him up before looking at her basket of flowers.

"His safety is definitely more important than flowers." Tulip whispered as she trudged forward.

Whatever the dampening effect was on the stallion's armor had started to affect Tulip physically as she felt like she was trying to walk through congealed syrup that just wanted to pull her down. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly easily strengthening her resolve to help the stallion's she was carrying right beside her.

"You'll be okay." Tulip told the stallion as she looked at him before she stumbled and quickly righted herself. "Try not to trip Tulip."

Kalib could not feel anything except an endless sensation of falling, what made it worse for him is that it felt like he falling from the sky but it sounded to him like he was falling through water. Whenever he tried to speak he felt as if had rocks in his mouth and he could barely breath. After a while he let himself relax and look around, which didn't do him much good since all he saw was pitch black. He felt around with his hooves and cursed when his hoof slammed painfully into something. Kalib let his mind reach out and he felt his mind connect for a second with a unicorn before he blacked out again.
