GRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW! I jumped back right before the dragon shot flames everywhere. When he finished, he walked away from the building. "JUMP!", I heard a stallion yell. I stepped back and took a leap. I made it to the other side safely. I heard another set of hooves land behind me. It must have been the stallion that told me to jump. I ran through the burning building and dropped down through the hole in the floor. I ran through the hot, smoky building until I ran through the singed doorway where I assume a door used to be. I heard the dragon screech once more. GRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW! The ear-destroying cry scared me, and I fell to the ground. AH! I shot back up. I looked and saw that I landed on hot ashes. There's a scar there, but I have to keep moving. I saw the town enterance and broke into a full out sprint. I kept running until I escaped the town, the wretched place that it was. I turned around and saw the dragon fly off. I sat down to take a quick rest when I saw Celestia fly off, her mouth still tied. That's when I heard a crying sound come from a familiar young voice.
I turned around to see a young colt with a white coat staring at the city and crying. It was the little colt from before. I trotted up to him. "Hey, Pip," I said, trying to sound neither happy nor upset. He wiped away his tears and just stared at the city. "What's upsetting you?", I said, pretending like I didn't know.
"M-my mom didn't come out of the city," he said as his eyes started tearing up.
"I'm sorry, little guy," I said sympatheticaly, then I just let him cry for a moment. "If you want, you can come with me for a little bit and I'll keep you safe."
He wiped his tears away once more and stared at me for a long while, then he finally said, "Do you promise?"
"I promise Pip."
"Whats your name?", he asked.
"Rainbow Dash."
"What happened to your wing?"
"Let's save that story for another time, Pip, okay?"
"Okay," he said. Then I heard the voice of a stallion say "Need help?"
I turned to see a stallion covered in armor. "Are you the one who told me to jump?" I asked.
"Yes, it was me."
"Thanks. I don't think I would have thought to do it otherwise."
"No problem," he said. "I have family that lives in a town near here. Would you like to come? I need to tell them about the dragon."
"I thought they haven't been alive for hundreds of years."
"Well, it looks like at least one is alive, and that's something to be worried about," he said with a worried tone in his voice. "Now, are you two comming or not?"
"Well, Pip, what do you think?", I asked.
"I think it's the only option we have." Pipsqueak mumbled, still sounding a bit upset.
"Okay, we're in," I said. "What's your name?"
The stallion removed his helmet to reveal a blue face. "The name's Blues!" He said cheerfully. "You guys are?"
"Im Rainbow Dash, and this is Pip." I said.
"Pipsqueak," Pip corrected. "Pip is my nickname."
"Alright," said Blues. "Rainbow, you're going to need to be able to defend yourself." He leaned in closer to me and whispered "Take some armor and a sword from the captain's dead body. It's in front of the house you and I jumped out of."
"Okay," I whispered back.
"May I please hear too?", Pipsqueak asked.
"Well, I'm going to find armor and a weapon I can use to protect us with." I said.
"Can I have a weapon too? Maybe a dagger?" Pipsqueak's eyes began to light up.
"Sorry, Pip. You're only a colt. Maybe when you're a bit older."
"Awww, alright," Pip moaned.
"Now stay with Blues and don't leave until I come back," I said in a slightly stern tone. "Okay?"
"Okay," Pip said, still using his disapointed tone.
"I'll be right back." I then trotted into the town.
