Twisted Rainbow
Present Day
An eight year old Pegasus filly flies over the city of Canterlot. Her name is Twisted Rainbow. She has a pink coat with a royal blue mane that blows in the wind. Her eyes search the skies for her brother, but she can’t find him. He had been acting strange ever since Granny Rarity had told them about their parents. When they had gone to see the statue, his eyes had seemed distant and angry.
“Hey, Rainbow!” a voice calls out from behind her, breaking her out of her reverie.
Her brother, Lightning Dash, is flying up behind her. He has a way of only being seen when he wants to be. He looks almost regal with his cyan coat and navy mane flowing behind him.
“Hey, Dashie,” Rainbow says happily. “What have you been doing?”
The smile drops from his face, “I’ve just been thinking about Mom and Dad. I mean, I understand our mother’s death, but our father’s was unnecessary. He made it back to Canterlot alive. He could have lived with us, but instead he chose death.”
“I’m sure it was hard for him, Dashie. I’m sad, too. I wish we had had a mother and father, but Granny Rarity and Grampa Fancy Pants have done a good job raising us, haven’t they?”
“They have, but I wonder what it would have been like to have a father and a mother. But, anyway, “he smiles at her, “the ceremony is about to start. We’d better get down to the square.”
The pair speeds down to Statue Square, as it has come to be called. In the middle stands the statue of Thunder Twist and Shining Silver. Though the face is not visible, the sculptor was able to portray anguish in the lines of Thunder Twist’s body as he held the dead and broken Shining Silver. The statue’s name was “Anguish Amidst Victory.”
Twisted Rainbow and Lightning Dash land at the edge of the crowd gathered around the statue just in time as Princess Celestia begins to speak, Luna at her side.
“My little ponies,” the Princess of the Sun begins, “today, as for the past five years, is a day of bittersweet memories. Five years ago today, we were victorious in the Great Pandemonium. However, that victory came at a steep cost. Five great ponies were lost that day. Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Gambit, Shining Silver, and Thunder Twist. The statue behind me depicts Shining Silver and Thunder Twist after the battle. Their love was like no other I’ve ever seen. Please, everypony remember these ponies as heroes, as saints even, for they saved Equestria from complete destruction.”
Everypony stomps her hooves. Rainbow looks over to her brother to see that he is missing.
sorry this is a short chapter. i believe it left a good cliff hanger and will create a nice path into the next chapter
