It happened so fast that Bo didn't really notice anything, just a blinding white light, to be honest it felt kind of warm and comforting. Then he felt like he was falling, fast. A gust of cold air hit him in the face disorienting him further, he struggled to recover, to learn which way was up and which way was down. His mind was racing, he had to speak his thoughts or they'd get lost in the mayhem. He focused, finally one came to him.
"Wings," the words sounded so foreign at first. "Wings! I have wings!" They came out clearly now, but Bo was still gaining speed as his still limp body plummeted to the ground.
The realization that he could use his wings to survive came as he realized the cold wind was rushing up against his back. He knew it was as simple as just using his Lohikäärme Siivet, his wing rune, but his mind was still racing making it hard to focus, even Lohikäärme Siivet was too difficult of a rune to cast. He knew exactly what was about to happen, and he didn't like it one bit. He focused one last time and tried to summon his only hope for survival. It was no use, even if he could cast the rune he was too close to the ground to slow down enough. Bo relaxed, he tryed to take in as much as he could, just in case he didn't die. He could see a couple of clouds in the sky, off to the side he saw a range of mountains, he strained to look over his shoulder at the ground where he saw an expanse of nothing but white. He told himself it was just his vision still missing but deep down he knew what it actually was, he knew it was nothing but snow and ice. While snow was the second best place to crash land, Bo was still a Drake, the human half would have survived the cold, but his dragon half would quickly freeze to death, and unfortunately that was the half that mattered. He stopped thinking about it, he looked straight up at the sky, closed his eyes, and waited. The ground became closer every secon, and he knew it, the suspense grew creating an entirely new sensation. Then the impact happened.
In Ponyville everypony was shocked, most had never seen everything black out like that. Rainbow Dash flew a little higher to look for whatever dropped through the hole, Fluttershy stopped feeding her animals to stare at the sky, even Rarity put down her needle and thread to lean out the window, that's what everypony did, stop and stare. a few words spread through the crowd breaking the silence, mostly just "what just happened," or "did you see that thing?" Nopony was certain what happened, even Twilight had no idea what was going on, she just stared out the library window while Spike cleaned up the pile of books he had stacked in his arms just moments before. Twilight was completely occupied trying to figure out what occured, it wasn't until Spike belched revealing a letter from Celestia that anypony tried to distract her from her thinking.
"Twilight, hey Twilight look! Princess Celestia sent you a letter."
"What, really?! What's it say?"
"I'm not sure, it's not written as neatly as usual, it almost looks like she was in a rush."
"A rush?" Twilight was shocked, she knew the princess would be busy after what had happened, but why would she write a letter that couldn't be read? "Give it here, I'll try."
-- Dear Twilight Sparkle --
An urgent emergency has fallen into our land. As you know I would investigate this myself but the situation is simply too far from Canterlot for me do so. I cannot disclose all the information at this time, I will need you and your friends to visit me in Canterlot immediately, before our situation gets worse.
Hurry, we may be running out of time.
--Princess Celestia--
"Well that doesn't answer anything, I wonder why Princess Celestia was so cryptic in her letter, I suppose she'll tell us everything when we get to Canterlot. Spike I need you to get some supplies together while I go get everypony else."
"Sure, I guess I can do that, but where are we going?" The young dragon was curious, he couldn't read the letter himself so he had truly no clue.
"Princess Celestia wants to see us, I don't know why but it sounds important."
"Well why didn't you say something sooner," Spike was really hurrying now, it had been a long time since he had been to Canterlot, "well don't wait for me hurry up, we need to get there quick."
Twilight had never seen Spike in such a rush, she wondered if maybe he knew something she didn't, one thing she did get from the letter is that they were in the middle of a race against time, but how would they know who was winning?
Dark.
Cold.
Abandoned.
"If...if I...could just...move my...dammit! I can't even move my damn arm. If don't start to heal soon, I just might freeze to death.
