Tiny Excerpt Time: My Little Dynamite Book 2 · 7:29pm Apr 16th, 2017
I needed a little bit of a break from working on A Dazzling Sunset.
Above her there was a fading rainbow contrail that led straight from the Corona to the minotaur vessel. The airpony it belonged to, Semaphore Communicator Rainbow Dash, was hovering just outside the ship’s bridge angrily flashing their earlier message of peace with snappy wing movements.
She also appeared to be screaming at the minotaur crew that had launched the ship’s ordinance.
“Well, there’s no excuse that they didn’t see the message now.” Celestia smirked, summoning her warmug through the aether with a thought. She took a palate coating chug of coffee and dismissed the hot mug back to the Corona a moment later. She chuckled when she saw Rainbow Dash semaphore some rather choice language before launching back towards the Corona.
The airpony left behind a group of very startled looking minotaurs to choke on dust and another multicolored contrail. Rainbow Dash was as fast as stated, but watching the pegasus’ streak away made Celestia wonder just how much longer she’d keep her own speed record. With one last glance at the village below for injured and unintended destruction, Celestia grinned.
“Let’s see if the old girl still has it in her…”
The force of her ascent pushed the remaining smoke clear of the village and the entire mountainside. Where once the alicorn had hovered was a blurry afterimage, her own rainbow hued streak marking her trajectory back toward the Corona’s rear communications deck and airpony Dash’s own end point.
Not bad for starting today's writing. As always, this is rough draft stuff and the final post is subject to change. I just rather liked how this bit turned out.
Stay classy.
