Post Authors Note:
Hello audience! I would first like to point out that this is my first story and that I am very excited to see where it goes! I will try to keep
submitting chapters routinely and your reviews/criticism is greatly appreciated. This first chapter is kind of short, but I can promise you, the
ones to come will definitely be longer. So without further ado, I would like to present, CHAPTER ONE.
Chapter 1: Sleepy Head
The swift, crisp, autumn wind was unlike anything I had ever felt before as I led a "V" formation with the wonderbolts who were flying at my sides.
"WOOHOO!" I shouted ecstatically.
"Hey, Stormrunner, get your head out of the clouds! This is going to be the grand finale!" Ordered a rather stressed Spitfire. "It's got to be executed without
flaw!"
"Relax, its gonna be fine."
We started to fly upwards straight into the sky while gathering all the energy we could muster to pull off perhaps one of the greatest feats of all time, distorting
the invisible flow of magic just long enough to allow the audience a glimpse of pure magic, a rare thing to be seen by the naked eye.
As soon we reached peak altitude, we began our immediate descent. Heck, we were going so fast, my cheeks started flapping under the huge amount of force
that was upon us.
About half way down, I began to see specks of pure magic dotting the airspace around us, and that's when I noticed that somewhere along the lines, we hadn't
gained enough altitude or speed to pull off the spectacle without crashing.
I began to panic and attempt to slow down, but we were going rainboom speed already.
"HEY! GUYS! WE'RE GONNA CRASH!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, but all I got back was silence.
"GUYS! DO YOU HEAR ME?! PULL UP!"
No response.
I started breaking a sweat in my panic as I saw the ever-nearing ground approaching faster than Pinkie Pie on a sugar high.
"No, no, no, it can't end like this!" I said as we were about 50 feet away from the ground, and then we hit. Everything went black. I opened my eyes and immediately realized I was still in my bed, in my house up in Cloudsdale. The whole event had been a dream!
"Thank Celestia…" I let out softly.
I got up looked in the mirror and saw what I saw everyday, a charcoal coated Pegasus with electric blue hair and lightning yellow eyes with a storm cloud with a lightning bolt shooting out of it as a cutie mark.
Yup, that's me. Good ol' Storm Runner
I trotted around the room thinking about my latest dream. I had always been my dream to soar through the skies alongside wonderbolts, but the dream I had last night almost seemed ill omened.
I suddenly turned and saw the alarm clock.
"Oh crap! I'm gonna be late for work again! Rainbow's gonna kill me!"
And with that I threw on my weather facility uniform and dashed out the door.
I didn't know what it was, but for some odd reason I felt as if today was going to be a day to remember…
