//------------------------------// // Chapter 9.2 // Story: Clown Mare // by Flora Blossom //------------------------------// In the dreams of Flurris Nox.      The snow had fallen hard.  “Where did you go little one?”  The red filly pegasus walked into a deep cave.    “This isn’t a time to play hide-and-seek Rane.”     The wind blew in her face.  She squinted both of her eyes, left hoof near the forehead, walking up the steep hill.  No pony was around, no voices but the strong weather that blew faster from the east side.  She felt that deep down of that cold feeling.  The awful feeling that the red filly had.  “Rane don’t go.”      The little filly called out her parents.        “There is no way I can fly in this blizzard.  It’s not possible.”     The filly walked in the cave.  Flurris was a few feet back trying to save her.     Flurris walked in the cave and saw a light that was righted one the three ponies inside. She walked deeper in the cave to see the red filly with two strange ponies.        “Mom… Dad…  It’s been so long to see you.  I can’t fly. I have lost contact with my pegasus friends. I have lost everything… everything that I stood for as a pegasus. And for what all, a toy that was precious to me ended up destroying my life.”    “Rane, that isn’t true.  Please don’t forget you are a pegasus you can fly.”     “Really?”  Rane turned her head to the right.  “You think I can still fly with broken wings?  Mind as well fell to my very own death because they can never be fixed.  Not even a unicorn knows how to fix a pegasus bone, and they are nerds of society.  They will never trust a pegasus you know the stories don’t you Flurris.”     Flurris shook her head left to right. “Unicorns can change. I know so.  Look at Princess Silver Swirl you know she changed to like pegasus and earth ponies just like Prince Blue Dream.”     “Are you sure that it is true Flurris?  Prince Blue Dream is an earth pony but.” “I think you're over thinking of this Rane.” Flurris heard something behind her. She turned her head to the left, seeing a light ray from the cave.  Flurris then turned around and walked to the light.   Four-fifteen in the morning. Aquara Darkmore looks at some documents on the table.  Classified information stamped.  Old paper like it was crippled.  “I never thought this case was so violent it was never to be seen to exist. Therefore it was not my intention to read an old case a few years back.  It was said that it was about my friend Rane and getting injured from a storm flight.  Not sure if the parents were guilty for making such a storm.  In my mind I can only think of one thing.  Did the parents hurt the child?” She kept thinking about it over and over again.  Swiping paper after paper upon the reports.   “It’s odd and unlucky to be found guilty at the royal court.  Even though she didn’t kill them but an accidental death.  It’s highly unlikely.” Aquara Darkmore looked at the last document. “What the?”  Her eyes began to open up.
