Rainbow Dash closed her eyes, feeling the snow fall around her. It was time to get back into the groove of things. She was fast. She had a reputation to uphold. Her wings slowly unfurled, feeling the cold rush in on her feathers. It was a great feeling: the wind flowing through her wings in that second of opening them. It was a sign that she was ready to fly.[/color][/blockquote]
She exhaled slowly, knowing without opening her eyes that her breath was fog in the air. Ready... Yeah... That was the right word. Ready. She was ready. Rainbow pulled herself to her hooves, standing upright. Her hooves searched along the ground, bringing her closer and closer to the edge. It would start in a second. She'd dive off the cliff, and fly. Rainbow breathed slowly, feeling every muscle tense and relax.
Her eyes opened, to a white... A white everything... The snow was relaxing. Calming. Beautiful. It created an entire world. One that she was now experiencing.
Alright Dash, enough with the prissy talk. You're here to fly. So... fly...
She instantly jumped off the cliff, catching the wind. Suddenly the serenity was gone, and her senses were thrown into overdrive. Rainbow Dash snaked through the rocks, dodging every obstacle. Her eyes narrowed, and she spiraled like a bullet.
It was a bit disorienting with all of the snow. White everywhere... Focus Dash! You can see the difference! Take everything into affect! Shadows, lines, structures, light, everything!
She shot to the side, avoiding a spire. Dash came around each corner, going at dizzying speeds.
Dizzying was the right word... She couldn't... focus... Pull up! She yanked herself upwards, flying straight up. The sun shone on her, a mixture of warmth and cold ran through her wings and spine.
She felt the world spin around her as she climbed steadily out of the gorge. She spiralled, before landing on the outside of the gorge, exhaling deeply.
"Well... That's pretty awesome..." Rainbow Dash rubbed her face, and lowered her hooves. She paused. What the... No... No way... Dash frowned, rubbing her eyes. She looked again. Yep, she was absolutely sure now.
"Gilda?"
