//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Directions and Falling // Story: A Hero's Choice // by Gin_the_Fox //------------------------------// Chapter 2: Directions and Falling Lan had been flying to Ponyville for the last hour. He had obtained directions from a nice lady he had helped... what you want to know about that? No it's not impor... UUUGGGHHH fine... ~~~~~~~ 1 hour earlier "Hey look a village, this is perfect! Now I can see where i'm going." Lan said as he spotted a village off the horizon. Just then he saw a lady struggling with carrying water. "Hey there need any help?" "No i'm good, thank you anywa..." Just then she had fell over, lucky for her Lan caught the water jugs. "That was close, hey you ok?" "Yes, that did hurt but i'm ok. Hey i haven't seen you around here, whats your name, and what happened to your eyes?" Shit! Think fast, she can't know i'm human! Lan was a white alicorn, which was going to be hard to explain, with a purple and white mane and tail. White wings and purple eyes. His eyes were strange to the fact that they had no pupils. "It's a family condition, and to the fact that i'm a alicorn, family business. Names Lan." "I didn't question your alicorn traits!" Giggled the mare, "My name is Lily." Green mare, saw that coming. "So where are we going?" "Follow me!" ~~~~~~~ There, happy? Anyways, Lan knew he was getting close, flying does that to you, but then a felt something... "Why does it fell i'm being followed..." Thought Lan, then he turned around, "Wait... GRIFFIN!?" Lan took a quick dive, dodging the projectile griffin attack, then he shot up. Face to face to Lan's most hated character. "Well if it isn't a little alicorn. Haven't seen one of you in a while. Heading towards Ponyville? Not on my watch." Said Gilda. "WHATS YOUR PROBLEM, LEAVE ME ALONE!" Lan was now in his emotional state, which he did not like. "My problem is you." Smiled Gilda "Leave. Me. Alone. I will not be responsible for the blood that will be shed." "I knew it, just a little crybaby." Gilda had saw that Lan was starting to cry. "Need a tissue." "NO MORE!" Lan screamed as he took off, barley missing Gilda, and flew as fast as he could. "I'll be back little kid, i'll be back." Gilda plotted as she flew off. What she had planned could change life's. ~~~~~~~ "I think shes gone, I can rest now." Lan was getting tired, he hadn't done that before. Flying was difficult. It took skill to fly, which Lan had none to begin with. Lan had felt the pressure of his eyes. It was turning dark, and he needed a place to rest. Before he knew it, it felt like hell, cold hell, as he kept flying. He couldn't give up. Not now. Not ever. "If I can reach Ponyvilllllll........ NO! Not now, must stay awake. If i can get there, hopefully someone can give me a place to sleep." Hopefully. If as a light turned on, Lan had fallen asleep, mid-flight. He had no idea what trouble he had just caused, as he plummeted towards the ground. In his dream it felt like he was in Ponyville, in a nice comfy couch, guarded by his magic, protecting him from the outside world. It wasn't the same in the real world, as his magic took control. It shielded him form the possible fatal fall. Hitting the ground was like a explosion. And apples flew everywhere.
