A/N:
Revision of my first story. I am changing up most of the storyline, so enjoy!
Blazing Flight groaned as the alarm clock went off for the second time that morning, but she dragged herself out of bed, pounding her hoof onto the loud, ringing clock.
The patched pony pulled on her suit, then went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. Meanwhile, her roommate, Neon Shades, was downstairs making breakfast.
. . . .
Blazing Flight trotted down the stairs to be greeted by the smell of Zap-apple jam. "Neon? Zap-apple jam?" Blazing Flight asked in disbelief.
"Of course, Blazi, you know I can't have my toast without it," Neon Shades replied, grinning.
Blazing Flight rolled her eyes. "Of course."
Blazing glanced toward the clock and her eyes widened. "I'm going to be late!" she exclaimed in horror.
Quickly grabbing a piece of toast in her mouth, she galloped out the door.
. . . .
Neon watched as her best friend ran out to work. She sighed to herself. That pony needs to take a break for once, she thought.
. . . .
Blazing Flight skidded to a halt outside of the Palace Gates to collect herself, breathing heavily. Once she was calm again, she went inside. "Blaze!"
Blazing turned to be face-to-face with Comet Blast, a young unicorn colt. "What's up, Blaze? How's work going? I'm going to be in the Royal Guard someday, and then we can work together! I can't wait! Can you? It'll be awesome to work with you, Blaze! You're my hero. I heard you saved Princess Celestia once! What did you-"
"Hey Comet, I have a job for you," Blazing cut in, before he could go and further into one of his rants.
"Yea?" he asked, looking excited.
"Search the perimeter of the Royal Gardens, and report to me if there is anything out of the ordinary," Blazing told him.
"Yes Ma'am, Lieutenant Blaze," Comet exclaimed, saluting.
Blazing watched in amusement as the colt ran off towards the Royal Gardens.
. . . .
Comet trotted into the Royal Gardens and started inspecting every leaf, branch, and caterpillar within a ten-mile radius.
He was interrupted by a crunching sound as a stick broke. He whipped around to be face-to-face with a black mare with gray eyes.
"Wha- who are you?" The colt challenged, forcing himself not to tremble.
The black mare smiled creepily. "I am Night Fright," she whispered.
"What are you doing in the Canterlot Royal Gardens?" Comet retorted.
Night Fright's smile vanished to be replaced by a look of fear. "The Black Mist is returning," she moaned.
Comet backed up, his 'strong, brave stallion' demeanor all but gone. "Wha- what is the 'Black Mist?'" he demanded.
Night Fright glanced around as if she was being watched. "You'll… find out, but in the meantime… enjoy life, young one."
Comet glared at her. "What about you?" he asked warily.
Night Fright smiled sadly. "I have seen too much to truly enjoy this life, but can you do one thing for me? Warn that pretty flightless Pegasus about the mist… will you?"
"Blaze?"
Night Fright nodded. "Enjoy life, young one, for you never know when it will end." With that, she backed into the shadows and disappeared from sight.
Comet stared after her, realizing something else peculiar about her.
"She doesn't have a Cutie Mark…"
Ta-dah :D
