Rainbow Dash then found herself under a long table with lotsa hooves. Carefully she crept out... "Iris!" a deep voice boomed. Big Macintosh? Rainbow thought. Sounded like him.

"There you are! Can you grab us some more nectar?" the man asked again. OMIGOSH! MONSTERS! THEY TAKE EYEBALLS AND MAKE THEM DO WHATEVER THEY SAY! I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE! Rainbow thought again. She panicked, and flew out, broke a window, and left, making a sonic rainbow without even trying. I guess she's been reading too many Daring Do stories.
While in midair, she finally noticed her staff. She stopped. She remembered that staff, the figure 8 it made on top. Twilight was talking about it earlier that week, and it belonged to...
Iris. Goddess of the rainbow, messenger of the gods. They had traveled to Greece.

But that was like, a bajillion years ago. She couldn't be there now, could she?

Author's Note

I don't know if the readers can see this, but Rainbow being Iris was my first idea for this, because her cutie mark is the symbol of the gods. I wasn't sure if it was the Greek Gods, but I heard something about Heracles, so I continued. Also, the whole rainbow thing kinda made sense. And her talent could be the Gods because Iris is the messenger goddess.
