Rainbow Dash is a Psychopath.

That isn't an opinion, that is a fact.

So it turns out because I have been grafted with wings I am able to stand on clouds, yes it is terrifying.

I was brought up by Rainbow Dash to her house because apparently it's a huge mansion in the sky and all other houses would be too small for me to stand up in. So now I have to deal with the fear of falling of a sky house and I have to deal with the most stubborn horse ever.

You see I noticed a problem today which amusingly nobody had thought to think of which was the fact that I am an omnivore. I can survive on a plant based diet but I really do enjoy eating meat. These ponies are herbivores though so you can imagine the looks I get when I asked if I could have a beef burger.

I could swear I could hear the sounds of pitchforks.

So I had to deal with some terrified ponies whom now see me as a murderer and  my own house host wasn't talking to me for an hour. But luckily it was explained to the inhabitants that my species was an omnivore and could survive on plant matter only. This could be a miserable way to eat but I will survive.

But after I settled into my temporary abode Rainbow Dash decided to start giving me my "flying lessons."

Basically she had decided to have the jump off point to be from her house which meant that If I screwed up that she could catch me, hopefully, in time before the first human in Equestria became a meat pizza on the ground, maybe I could eat myself.

To the start of the lesson,we were discussing the fact that my wings are located in the same position as hers as we both have four limbs as well as the wings therefore meaning that the wing movement must at least feel similar between the two of us. We started trying to see how to move the wings by lifting the wings up with our hands and hooves and seeing the feeling in my back. I started to feel the nerves tingle through them and seeked out where the feeling was coming from.and attempted to push them them up. I felt the wings extend to their full size, which almost dwarfed my body.

Rainbow Dash insisted that I test the wings to see if I could maneuver them easily and then she started showing me the positions of the wings to allowing myself to float and to show me to ascend and descend.

I managed to memorize all the movements within a hour and I was planning to start drawing the positions when we got to the house and then I asked " okay, what's next?"

I can tell you I have never regretted a sentence uttered in my life, she just turned away from me and said "Pop quiz" and bucked me off the edge.

I told you the stupid horse was a psychopath, The amount of fear that rises in me in the free-fall towards the ground was indescribable. Just in case this book decides to judge me you have to remember this was the first time I was conscious while falling from a height which was certain to kill me therefore I froze in shock.

"Just extend your wings!" I hear shouted by the rainbow maned evil being  right next to my ear.

I fight down my frightened nerves and extend my wings to ensure that they start catching me the wind and slowing me down to a basic glide.

After I did this I started to calm down and could concentrate on the movement of my wings.

"You got that under control quite quickly, I was worried I might have to save you for a second." I hear to my left.

I replied loudly "You are a moron."

"Hey, we have to train you quickly, that is the best way to train adults to fly. They have to wing span to survive and you seem to have already built the muscles required to lift yourself so I assumed what's the worst that can happen." She replied.

I was silent after this because she had raised multiple strong points and decided to look at the view around me.

It was beyond sensational, It was a sensory overload. To see that much beauty while achieving flight by myself was just unbelievable and my mind just went blank seeing the image.

"It is quite something, isn't it?" Rainbow said to me.

"To fly by yourself is considered one of humanity's greatest dreams, to think that I am to first one to fly with wings is mindblowing. You have been spoiled Rainbow" I replied.

The rest of the day was devoted to my training and ensuring that my flight was perfect. I have been told that I have to get my flight speed higher than the average pegasus by two weeks time or I will be forced to endure more training so basically I am going to have to train extremely hard for two weeks and not really do anything else for the next two weeks. Unless something important happens I am resolved to not write anything into the diary.

I apologize for the inconvenience but I can't imagine you wanting to hear about my pain and tedious tasks.

I am signing off now.
