Twisted Rainbow
She had been hard at it for five hours now. Her wings were aching, and her eyes were dry. Princess Luna flew up, effortlessly, beside her, eyes glowing in the moon light.
“Rainbow?” the Princess of the Night queries worriedly.
“Mmm,” her mouth is too dry to speak.
“There is someone I need you to meet. He has worked closely with me in the past, and he was friends with your father. I do warn you, however, he is the only of his species in Equestria, so please do not be alarmed by his appearance. Please, follow me.” She takes off. Rainbow follows.
It has been a year since Dashie was taken by the Gryphons. Rainbow has been training with Luna ever since the Princess had come to call on her that night after the dream. It had mainly been flying training, but there had been some studies of Equestrian history interspersed in there.
The two fly down to the edge of the Everfree Forrest. Luna stops.
“Kane, are you there?”
“Of course, Princess,” comes a deep voice from the shadows. “As I always am.” A tall figure walks out of the trees. It stands on two legs, its right foreleg dangling at its side, its left resting on a sheathed sword. At the end of each foreleg were five appendages that the creature was able to use to grip the sword. What is most ominous about the creature, however, is the pair of black, demonic-looking wings furled against his back. He gets on one knee. “What is it you need, Princess? Sapphire, here, is ready to leap into my hand at your service.”
“That will not be necessary, Kane. Not at this moment, anyway.” Luna gestures toward Twisted Rainbow. “This is Twisted Rainbow. She is the daughter of Thunder Twist. She is here to be taught armed combat. Seeing as you were almost on par with Thunder Twist in this respect, I felt it best that you teach her.”
At the sound of Thunder Twist’s name, Kane’s eyes become glassed over with a mixture of anger and sadness, as if remembering a time long past that could never happen again. He quickly regained his composure, however, and latched on to the last part of Princess Luna’s monologue. “Ah, come on, Princess. I was just as good as he was,” he whined.
“Of course you were, Kane,” the Princess says in an uncharacteristically playful tone.” That is why, out of the ten times that you two sparred, you bested him only three times. Admit it, he was too fast for you. You would have never beaten him if I hadn’t given you those wings.” Her tone becomes serious once more. “Now, will you agree to train Twisted Rainbow, here?”
Rainbow, who has been watching the two talk about things that happened before she was born, jumps at her name. She looks up to this strange being who is supposed to train her. He looks down at her.
“Of course,” he says with a slight smile. “How could I refuse the daughter of one of my best friends?”
“Splendid. The sun will rise in three hours. I will be back for her then. She will train with you every night until she is a master.”
“Very well, Luna.” Kane bows low as Princess Luna departs for Canterlot Castle.
Rainbow looks up at her new mentor. “Uh, I don’t mean to sound rude, but what exactly are you?”
Kane smiles down at her. “I, dear Twisted Rainbow, am of a species called humans. I am also your new trainer. So, let’s get started.”
