Walking on the outskirts of Ponyville a lonely little pony trotted with her head low. She had just been picked on once more for not being able to fly. Being a Pegasus, she was supposed to fly wasn't she? The sad little pony continued to walk until she had bumped into something. "Ouch!" she squeaked, falling back on her haunches. Looking up she saw a rather startled Pegasus that looked to be about twice her size. "Oh! I'm so sorry ma'am! I wasn't watching where I was going and I didn't mean to run into you like that." She spoke while scrambling back onto her hooves. The Pegasus stared down at the rather distraught little Pegasus and gently bumped her muzzle against her head, " nono tis my fault for walking ahead again without looking, art thou hurt?"
The young mare lowered her head a bit before speaking. "umm..no ma'am I'm not hurt...I'm ok" Her voice was shaky and barely audible as her head slowly lowered with each word. "Uumm...are you ok?" She attempted to ask but the words came out in almost a whisper. With her head still lowered she looked up at the radiant white beauty in aw. She was absolutely stunning! With a gorgeously groomed mane and silky fur. Her posture was that of royalty and sleek firm wings fit for cutting through the air and icy eyes that could send anypony into a trance. This pony was by far the most beautiful pony she had ever seen. When her train of thought broke the small mare found herself blushing and looking away. Embarrassed that she had been staring. "what seems to be troubling you young one? Thou is quite a, how to say, cute, not trying to offend." the mare said with a soft smile
" Uuum...I uh...uumm.." The little brown Pegasus couldn't seem to find the words to say. Never before had she met such an elegant mare. She wanted to know her name, she wanted to know her, but words could not be found to ask. Again the small one found herself blushing deeply, so deep that it could be seen through her brown fur. Eventually she found her little legs shaking nervous now and could only start forward. "I um...uh..my..name...is ...Red..b-b-Burn...um..may I ...ask you...y-y-yours?...ma'am?" She finally managed to stutter, lowering her head once more. The white mare gently sat down on her legs to be in height with the foal "I am Shiroi tenshi but you may call me shiro, now young mare, you may calm down, there is no need to be so nervous for I mean no harm" She gently put one wing over her to block out the sun, but as to not embarrass the foal further she says, " sun is starting to turn you red"
Under the wing of the radiant white mare Red burn felt a strange calmness and protection wash over her and her blush soon faded under the shade. "Shiro...that's...a...p-pretty...name...um...so uh..what brings you down...h-here m-ma'am?" The deep brown foal spoke calmer now and a little bit clearer but still quiet and timid. Shiro seemed nice and almost motherly, something the young mare took comfort in. But she dared not do what instinct told her to do. To a pony she did not completely know, cuddling would be rather rude, but to a foal without a mother, it was rather difficult to resist. With Shiro closer now the urge to get closer was tempting, but the deep brown pony held back and just hooved the ground shyly. She was used to doing this, at her age no pony would want to adopt her because in three years timing she would be able to care for herself. 'No use in searching for a mom now, but if I were younger I would have wanted this one.' Red Burn thought to herself. "I am on a quest, to find the legendary wishing well, that reaches further out of Equestria." Shiro glanced at the little pony and tilts her head to the side, "Hast thou been in some sort of quarrel?" She gently grabs a lock of red's hair and moves it off of her face with her muzzle, "Thou hast a rather large bruise," shiro paused a minuet, 'This young foal reminds me so much of brother, only younger' She thought sadly.
Looking away Red Burn couldn't help but feel ashamed. She had been fighting. Not that the foal was the one who had started it but the truth hurt. The small brown pony took a step back to raise her tattered wings, revealing the bruises underneath. "Yes ma'am...I have been fighting...n-not because I wanted to..but...I had to..." She replied in a small voice, remembering the earlier events. Red Burn had rather large wings for her size but not that it mattered. She still couldn't fly. Now that the red feathers on her wings were torn...she wouldn't be able to anytime soon. Shiro looked at the wings and softly nuzzled them, and from her pack on her back she pulls out a bandage to softly wrap them.. though the bandages were wrapped floppily, "Tis the best i can do, I am not much of a medical pony" She said with a smile. Her ears cocked back to some other fillies murmuring back behind her, making fun of red burn, but they soon stopped when shiro gave them a dark glare, "Dearest Red Burn,dost thou have anyone who needs you here? why don't thou come with me on my quest?" Shiro said softly getting up
Wincing from the pain as Shiro wrapped Red Burns aching wings, the little foal looked out at the young fillies who had just beat her up and almost laughed at the orange pony with the swollen jaw who had earlier ripped her wings apart with his teeth. 'He deserved that kick in the teeth.' Red Burn thought to herself. Suddenly the other foals had quite laughing and looked away. Looking up she saw that Shiro had been glaring at them, giving a warning to put them in their place. Instantly Red Burn felt that warm safe feeling that she had felt a little bit ago. As the radiant mare spoke of anyone who need Red Burn the little foal could only look away. Then as the white beauty spoke again of Red Burn coming with her the young mare looked up with a smile and sparkling eyes. Nobody had ever asked her to go anywhere with them before and this excited her. "Yes...yes...umm..may I ..umm..go with you?...I'd love to...it'd be a pleasure!" the brown pony scrambled for words as she could not think of the exact thing she wanted to say.
Shiro smiled at the little exited pony bouncing about before her, "Well then young one, we shall begin thy quest," Shiro got up and stretched out her glorious white wings and folded them back against her sides and moved her muzzle into her pack and pulled out a small cookie and gave it to red burn, and watched her gobble it up.
"Why the hell does she get band-aids and cookies when all I get is a kick in the mouth!" the orange pony neighed loudly approaching the two mares. "Because you have a big and rude mouth! And you attacked me!" Red Burn shot back. She looked up at Shiro who had seemed rather shocked that the orange youngster had used such foul and adult language. This was just rude and predictable of him. Red Burn didn't like how such rudeness was being displayed in front of the white angel who had been so kind to her. "Get lost! You don't have a right to speak with that foul tongue of yours in front of Miss Shiro like that!" she neighed taking a step towards him. "I have more of a right than you do freak! You can't even fly!" The air was flooded with the anger the two foals showed for each other. " If you want I could kick your other side of your face for ya! And you'll be missing some teeth this time!" Red Burn replied harshly. "Careful freak or I won't just rip your wings I'll snap'em! Not like you need'em anyway! Your a joke!" He spat back hoofing the ground underneath him.
Shiro watched in shock as the two foals fight and sighed shaking her head and started to sing softly, ""~Ooohh calm thou nerves, and cease your fighting, the battle is over, and so is the quarrel, Fight no more, silence your anger, and let the cool breeze of resting blow over you, and let your anger dull,~" as shiro sang a bright light shines down from the sun on its own illuminating her white fur putting the two foals at ease and cease their fighting, for shiroi's talent is bringing peace to fighting and waring ponies with her soothing melodic songs, she sang more and softer as all the other ponies around listened happily and peacefully, and once her song ended everypony went back to their normal duties. Shiro softly walked over to the two foals, "Thou art ready to go? Red burn?"
Blinking, the now bewildered Red Burn no longer felt the anger that she had once had for the orange male that had recently destroyed her wings. Bowing her head in apologies toward him she soon found herself looking up at Shiro for reassurance. The orange foal turned his head away bashfully with a "Tch!" noise as he noticed the other fillies had started to disperse in different directions and sat down looking at his hooves. Red Burn paid him no mind as she was now distracted with the question that she was asked by the white beauty that continued to amaze her. "Yeah I'm ready...but where to ma'am?" she questioned respectfully looking up with twinkling eyes. Of course she was ready. Finally she had someone to look up to and they were soon to go on an adventure that Red Burn would never forget.
