One Pony Amongst Many People
Chapter Eight
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash flew swiftly through the air, slashing the dagger through the white walkers' heads, shattering at least a third of them in her sight. Within about thirty minutes, few wildlings and few members still stood. White walkers took up a lot of the space, as did dead bodies.
Jon Snow and Rainbow Dash were two of them.
Dash landed and about twenty white walkers at once stood in front of her. The giant swept them out of the way with his arm. He stomped away and killed many more at a time. He stepped on a few, threw a couple of them across the wood. Jon slashed his sword, killing two at a time. That was not enough. Rainbow took off and stabbed whatever walkers were in front of him. She looked at him. Neither had a scratch on their bodies from this battle.
She looked into his dark brown eyes and he gazed back into her own. A white walker crept up behind him. "Jon! Look out!"
He turned around and swept his sword downwards, cutting it in half. In a couple seconds, it shattered. He glanced over his shoulder again, and she was still standing there. Staring at him. He swore that he could see stars in her eyes, even though the sun hasn't completely gone down.
Rainbow quickly took off to see if there were any more others coming. Surprisingly, there were about ten more within a mile of them. The rest were at the other side of the frozen forest. Dash landed, folding her wings back to her sides. "There's about ten more coming," she yelled to the other side of the camp, where the remaining fifty people stood, fighting more others.
She sprinted over and swiped her dagger to and fro. A few wildlings ended up on top of her, after being struck dead from a few white walkers. She bucked them off and sprinted in the direction of the bulk of the white walkers while screaming, "CHARGE!"
She flapped her wings for leverage as she streaked into the gang of white walkers, knocking them down like dominoes. They got up to have a dagger slice through their heads. Whatever white walkers were left were still running toward them, but they were going extremely slowly, because in thirty minutes, there still weren't any left.
The men and wildlings mounted whatever horses were left and cantered away from the camp. The light cerulean fur of Rainbow's stood up as she heard several growls from behind her. She whipped around. Ghost was staring at her with his blood red eyes. He lunged forward and bared his fangs, but this time he didn't try to lick her.
He tried to bite her.
She threw him off with her front hooves and galloped in the other direction, not looking back at the direwolf, whose barking caught her ears. Her hooves pounded against the ground with every step as she struggled to catch up with the other men. She took off once more, leaving hues of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and metallic grey in a trail. Quickly, she lost the hound, but she knew that soon enough, she would have to land.
Ghost's snarling and barking could be heard, slowly getting more muffled as she flew farther away. Soon, when she thought she was safe, Rainbow landed. Slowing to a walk, she realized that she was way ahead of the men. She looked back, and, sure enough, men on horses were riding her way.
A white hound burst out from between two of the men, charging toward Dash with angry eyes. It was Ghost. Rainbow took to the skies again and left Ghost running into nothing, with the exception of a fairly large tree trunk. He stood on his hind legs and clawed the trunk. It looked as if he was trying to climb it. A horse with Ghost's owner galloped into view. Jon Snow dismounted his steed, heading over to Ghost.
"What is it, boy?" he asked quietly.
Ghost barked and snarled at whatever was in the tree. A trail of colors descended from the tree, heading straight for The Wall. It hit the ground about a hundred feet away from the two. Rainbow Dash looked at the hound menacingly. She walked slowly in the direction of the other men, keeping her head up high as she stomped through the snow.
None of the men moved as she tried to squeeze through them. It was almost as if she were invisible. Dash, after fifty seconds of attempts at getting to the back of the crowd, finally came out of the haze of horses and men. She turned around and came to a halt. The two rows of horses, one on each side of her, slowly scooted away, as if Rainbow was germ infested. She looked at her hooves as the band of soldiers marched forward, and she followed. Jon must have been in the front of the crowd. She could really use someone to notice her right now.
She could use someone to care for her. Like Pinkie did. It was almost as if it were just yesterday that she and Pinkie Pie had had their first date. Rainbow had asked her herself.
Enough reminiscing. Time to gather men. The team of soldiers rode through The Wall's passage and came out at Castle Black. Once she stepped inside, she sighed. Hanging her head and furrowing her brows, she walked into the castle. Sansa sat in a wooden chair, staring down at her slightly bloated stomach. A tear ran down her face as she remembered the event.
"Sansa? Are you alright?"
The red-headed woman turned her head to see the cyan pegasus pony with prismatic hair. Sansa looked away from her. "Yes, just fine."
"Are you sure?"
Sansa stared her way, cocking an eyebrow. "Do you always have to ask people if they're sure about what you're asking them?"
"I have a hard time trusting people's honesty unless they say they're sure about it. I never needed to ask my friends if they were okay, I always judged the look on their faces. I didn't need to even look at my best friend's face, even. I judged her tone of voice."
Rainbow gasped as fiery stings erupted throughout her entire body. She fell to the ground as her pony ears disappeared. Her entire body vanished under the cloak, leaving nothing but a gasping lump under it. Soon, Sansa had walked over to hear nothing coming from under the thing, but it was moving. The center of the lump moved up and down in slow motion.
Uncovering the lump, Sansa's jaw dropped at the sight of the naked body of a human with rainbow hair and steel wings, curled up into a ball.
