Dark Shooter,
How are you doing bro? I've missed you. I know it wasn't easy taking over for Shining Armor as Captain of the Canterlot Guard. But I know you'll do a great job. And you can still be Princess Luna's top guard! Just, with more duties. I've been meaning to write, because...I have some big news. Really big news. A week or so ago, I found this old book near Wonderbolt HQ. It was glowing with a strange ice blue light. When I opened it, it sent a ice blue light into me. Then, I was somehow able to control ice. My friend, Rainbow Dash, suggested we take the book to Princess Twilight, one of her other friends. Princess Twilight told us it was Ice Manipulation magic, and that I was probably born with it. But...I can't remember ever having powers. Actually, now that I think about it, I can't remember anything until a day or two after my fourth birthday. You're older, maybe you remember something? Don't worry about me though, Spitfire's been coaching me in controlling it, since she has Fire Manipulation magic. But don't tell anypony, she made us promise not to. I'm getting pretty good at controlling it. Write back as soon as you can, I miss you brother.
There's an endless road to rediscover,
Fleetfoot
Dark Shooter's new assignment kept her brother very busy, so Fleetfoot didn't expect him to write back for a while. But she didn't mind. Everything was going good with her lessons, except...every time Fleetfoot tried to make the ice as she pleased, it didn't work, or she would freeze more than she meant to. Fleetfoot also found she couldn't make the ice melt, no matter what she did.
"Come on Fleet, let's take a break. You up for a quick flight?" Spitfire asked. It was the weekend, and they had been practicing in her office again.
"Alright." Fleetfoot sighed, and she followed Spitfire out of the room. They took off once outside.
"Race ya!" Spitfire called, nudging her friend. Fleetfoot smiled
"You're on! Firtht to that cloud?" Fleetfoot suggested
"Sure. In three...two..."
"One!" they shouted together, taking off. As they flew at the cloud, a mare zoomed up in front of them. As trained Wonderbolts, they easily stopped in time. It was Icy Mint, with Sharp Skater behind her.
"What do you want mother?" Fleetfoot snarled
"Your powers brat, what else. You don't deserve those, now give them to me!" Icy Mint lunged at her, and Fleetfoot backed away-straight into Spitfire's hooves.
"No! You're the one who doethn't detherve them! Leave me alone!" Fleetfoot yelled, pulling away from Spitfire. Sharp Skater flew up behind them and grabbed Fleetfoot, pinning her forelegs against her side. Sharp Skater and Icy Mint tried to hit Fleetfoot, but Spitfire flew at them.
"Stay away from her!" Spitfire's hooves lit up with fire, and her eyes flashed red.
Icy Mint cause ice to shoot from her hooves, but Spitfire easily melted it and knocked Sharp Skater away from Fleetfoot with a shove. Icy Mint kept trying to blast them both, but Spitfire kept using her fire to melt it.
"Get away!" Spitfire growled low in her throat and used a wall of fire to block them.
"You mistake! We should have never had you!" Icy Mint shrieked
"You and your stupid lisp! You're a horrible excuse for a daughter!" Sharp Skater yelled at Fleetfoot again, making her tremble and duck behind her friend. Icy Mint and Sharp Skater eventually gave up, and Spitfire dropped the shield of fire.
"Are you okay Fleet?" Spitfire asked
"N-no. I keep cauthing you tho much trouble. I should jutht go." Fleetfoot said, rubbing her eyes.
"Fleet, no. You're not causing any trouble, this isn't your fault."
"But they won't give up until they have the magic back." Fleetfoot said, starting to cry.
"Fleet, we can protect you. Please don't be upset, I haven't seen you cry since...well, ever. But I know you do, I guess you just never show it." Spitfire tried to say
"No! I can't! Thpitfire, thith ith my burden to carry, not yourth! I-I'm thorry." Fleetfoot turned and flew off, she didn't know where she was going, but she knew she had to leave.
"Fleetfoot! Wait! Come back!" Spitfire screamed, eyes watering "I need you." she whispered, as Rainbow and Soarin flew up to her, they had heard her yells after coming to look for their friends.
