I think I can brake now," she said, smiling sheepishly."I've seen hawks and griffons soar and skid to a stop. Maybe I could do that too?" Silversword queried, spreading her wings on the edge of the cloud."If you'd like, I can do it now?" she said tentatively, stepping closer to the edge.

NeonVictorian Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Quasar stepped in front of her to where she couldn't jump."Not yet," he mumbled, "You're wings are still sore, give them some time to relax..."He didn't want to stop her, but wouldn't let her get hurt either."Wait a little? Please?" he begged her, scared of anything happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appliance Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Silversword closed her wings.She'd planned to land in the lake, opening her wings to slow down until she tumbled in."I'd be okay. I've got a plan!" she said, her wings shuffling."But if you want, I'll wait," she said, smiling graciously, sitting before the edge.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonVictorian Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 "A... Plan? he asked, confused. He sensed she knew what she was doing, and asked no further.He stepped out of her way, and smiled."Alright, but be careful? Please?" he asked, ready to follow down.He had no idea what she was thinking, but he stood ready smiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appliance Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 "Yes. It may not look very elegant or smooth. But I'll be fine," she said, closing her wings and falling backwards. As Silversword fell, she looked at her surroundings, and halfway down, she flipped over and opened her wings, using them as a parachute. She fell slowly, her hooves skimmed the water, and she tripped, landing in it."Smooth," she grumbled, wiping water out of her eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonVictorian Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Quasar followed her down to the water, wincing as she tripped.He splashed down beside her, and looked to her smiling."You alright?" he questioned trying to hold back his smile for the moment.He looked back up to the clouds that they came from, continuing, "You've done good you know, really good."

Appliance Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Silversword spluttered, wiping her muzzle.If her mother had seen her, she was sure she would have shook her head.She treaded water for a moment, reaching the shore, shaking herself dry."You think so?" she asked, spreading her wings and preening.

NeonVictorian Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Quasar gave a quick nod and followed her to shore."It was a great start, maybe a little too fast but..." he admitted, smilingly.He shook himself off and continued, "If, you ever want to practice more? I'll help you anytime you'd like?"He gave her a smile but hopefully reassuring smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appliance Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Silversword looked up from her preening, and watched him curiously."They were a little better though, then any tries I had made before." she stated simply, returning to her preening.When she had finished, she sat up straight and yawned, covering her muzzle with her hood."I would like that. But we ought to be heading out to Canterlot," she added, smiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonVictorian Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 He nodded in agreement and stood up."Whenever you're ready..." Quasar said readily.He slid back into his saddlebags and gave her a quick smile.His mind paused for a moment, "Why am I going to Canterlot?" he thought to himself for a quick moment before remembering.He had such a good time, he had forgotten all about the worries or uncertainty ahead. Now he smiled faintly and continued forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appliance Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 As if sensing her friends' worry, Silversword gave her a slight smile that she hoped would comfort him."Not all ponies are so sure of what they want in life, for a while at least." she began to walk in the direction of Canterlot, the trusty heart of Equestria.Not that it was in the center of Equestria, no, she did not mean it in the literal sense.."Canterlot is the intellectual and social center of Equestria. I am certain you will find something that you love," she said, blowing her mane out of her eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonVictorian Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Quasar gave a quick smile in return. He had became relaxed around her and it her smile only relieved him more."You're... right..." he reacted timidly, "I'm sure I'll find something to do there."His mind reminded himself, "But will I find somepony else like you?" scared of being on his own again.He cleared his throat, and tried not to think of it.

Appliance Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Silversword nodded, giving him a quick smile."Something for everypony, like I said," she grinned, trotted on, and then looked back once again."But what is it that you like to do, anyway?" she queried, a pensive look upon her face.

NeonVictorian Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 "I um, I'm not sure..." Quasar said timidly, "I... like helping... but... that's all I can really think of..."His ears quickly perked up, alert having realized something."You said that was your job? Right? What do you do?" he asked curiously, wondering if he could try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appliance Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Silversword raised a hoof to her muzzle, having stopped trotting for a moment."Well.." she tapped her hoof to her muzzle in contemplation, looking at Quasar carefully."The thing is, being a guard is tough. You don't just help ponies, you also have to fight off threats to the princesses.''She raised an eyebrow, deciding that she didn't want him to have to fight anything."Why not something more to your liking? What are your talents?" she asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonVictorian Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 "O...Oh?" he quieted down timidly, he didn't understand why she didn't want him to but stayed quiet about it."Um.... I'm not really sure to be honest." he replied to her question. "I've.... never really thought about it."He looked away, trying to hide a slight blush of embarrassment.

Appliance Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 "I wouldn't want you yo get hurt," she said, slightly embarrassed. She patted him on the head."You'll figure it out. Canterlot would be a good place to find yourself." Silversword smiled at him, and continued walking, looking back and giving him an encouraging smile every now and then.How strange it must feel to not know ones' purpose in life.She looked at the sky, watching it with a disconnected gaze.She would help him, as much as she could.

NeonVictorian Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Quasar gave a slight smile, reassured that she cared."Th...Thanks," he mumbled under her patting, now relaxed.He gave a quick confused look, and tilting his head to the side, questioned, "When we get there... where do we start?"
