The Rainbow Stallion

I was awake. As far as I know, I was lying on the bed that was previously used by Octavia, now she was talking with Jericho, near the entrance. I felt a tug of disappointment when the door opened and she left, probably to her urgent place. After the door closed, Jericho approached the side of the bed, and stared down at me.

"Octavia will be gone for a while, but don't you worry, she'll be back soon."

His words were not that reassuring, I didn't trust him, he was hiding something from me, and I just felt that he'll do something grim behind my back. After he trotted away to a bookcase, I tried to get up from the bed, but the sheets were noticeably wet, I was sweating.

As I set my hooves on the wooden floor, I felt a bit of pain that shot down my spine but I ignored it, I probably hurt my back when I fell. I stood to my full height, and looked around the small shack. I remember when the walls changed, I looked at the direction where the non-existent was, but it was replaced by a book shelf.

I trotted over to a little window, I had to place my hooves on the wall to support myself to see what is outside, because the window was too high for me. I looked out the window, and saw the rail track, plus the desert, or whatever this place was. I sighed and set my front hooves down. Jericho approached me.

"So, let me ask, why did you exactly travel on that train?" he asked me with a bit of concerned, he didn't seem to trust me, neither do I.

"To meet with my friend." I replied simply, he seemed to accept it and turned away from me, I thought there was going to be more questions. I turned around and stared at the shack's door, wishing that I could walk out, but I have to wait for Octavia.

"You are free to go." Jericho stated from behind the cooking spit, I craned my head to him. "Yes, you can go, Octavia won't be coming back." he seemed to frown.

"So you lied to me?" I raised my eyebrow and scratched my cheek.

"Yes, now go." he went behind a bookcase and hid his head behind it, after his head appeared back with, he had a brown saddle bag. He trotted over me and placed it on my back. "Some supplies for the travel." he smiled coldly and gave me a pat on the head, after that he trotted away from me again. I simply turned around and left the shack of his.

It was mildly cold, and slightly dark, but visible enough for me. and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. I decided that trotting would be slow, so I strapped the saddle bag that Jericho gave me tightly and extended wings, after a few flaps, I was in the normal flying altitude. I began flying towards Aydin's general direction.

As I was flying, I saw a little black dot in the distance in front of me. A flew a bit faster, trying to catch up with whatever was flying. When I reached a bit of distance from it, I saw that it was the shape of a pony, I couldn't see the details about it because it was dark. I flew a bit faster until I was by the pony's side, it turned it's head to me, and I saw that it was a mare, I recognized the gender by the muzzle shape. Her light green eyes locked on mine.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" she seemed a bit shocked, I cleared my throat.

"Just flying." I stated simply, she raised her eyebrow.

"Well yeah, would you mind yourself please? I'm already running late." she looked away from me.

"Oh? Where are you going?" I asked, getting a bit cocky.

"None of your business." she shot forward like a bolt. I simply shrugged in the air and continued on my way.
