Moonwind backed out the door, even though he was curious about the building, which looked to be a library of sorts. The reason he was backing out the door was because of the enraged fairy standing on his muzzle. Normally, he wouldn’t have been afraid, but the look on her face said otherwise.

“You really did it this time, didn’t you?” A voice in Moonwind’s mind stated. 

Hey, I didn’t mean to come here Tori. It was an accident that I even found myself here, he responded.  

Tori gave a sigh. “Yes, I know David. I was just worried. I couldn’t find you right away and I was someplace strange. It was just a little frightening for me.”

Moonwind sighed.  I’m sorry about that. I hadn’t really quite expected something like that to happen. I’m surprised too Tori that I happened to wind up in this place. Plus, things could’ve been worse. And I have wings.

Moonwind had moved away from the library and was sitting on a bench as he showed Tori his wings. He still wanted to fly, but until he was sure that he wasn’t needed, he was going to keep his hooves on the ground. 

Tori giggled slightly as Moonwind folded his wings once more. “I must say, that’s pretty cool David. However, I’m not as impressed with the name you took here. It sounds more like a name a girl would take.”

Quiet you. I thought it was really creative when I came up with it, he replied. Plus, it seems to fit with what I’ve been given. 

“Yeah, yeah. At least you’re not some sort of ugly color. I really quite like the color, though why your mane is black I don’t know, but it seems to go with the white, which almost seems kind of gray,” Tori said as she flew around Moonwind. “The thing on your flank, that music note, what does it mean?”

From what Applejack told me, it’s called a cutie mark. They show what your special talent is depending upon what you do,  Moonwind replied. I’m guessing mine means I can sing really good. Ironic, isn’t it?

Tori didn’t answer. She knew that Moonwind didn’t enjoy being reminded of his inability to talk. She felt bad for him, but there wasn’t much she could do. Moonwind was the only one able to see her, so his inability to talk served him well so people wouldn’t think he was crazy. She sighed as she landed on top of Moonwind’s head. She had always enjoyed sitting on his head, especially since it annoyed him. 

Moonwind tried looking up to where Tori had landed, but he already knew. He hated it when she landed right on his head. He couldn’t quite see her, even when he crossed his eyes. He sighed and looked up into the sky. It was a nice day, he had to admit. He still wondered how the weather worked here when he happened to spot a group of pegasus ponies moving a cloud.

Hey Tori, do you see what I’m seeing?

“Yeah. It almost looks as if they’re moving the cloud. Do they actually control the weather like that?”

That’s what I was thinking. Makes you wonder what else they can do here. Obviously from what I’ve seen so far, unicorns control magic and now it seems that pegasus ponies control and maintain the weather. They must not have a ton of problems with bad weather if they can do that, he said as he stood back up. He continued watching the group as they continued to move the clouds, but he soon found himself distracted by a cyan pony lying on a cloud not far off from him. 
I wonder what that one is doing.

“You got me. It looks like she’s sleeping.”

How can you tell it’s a she? I can’t tell from here.

“Well, I can tell because the one up there has the some kind of features as Applejack. They don’t look the same, but the features of that cyan pony up there say that it’s a female up there.”

Moonwind looked again, then he looked back at the library. Well, shall I go see what she’s doing up there then? He asked with a mischievous smile. 

“Normally, I’m the mischievous one. Has it rubbed off on you?”

Maybe. So, your answer?

Tori giggled again before saying, “Let’s go say hi then.”

Moonwind smiled again as he unfolded his wings and took off. He had noticed a darker cloud nearby and decided that he would make good use of it.
