Chapter 2 "Within the Camp"

Within the Camp

Now that Fluttershy has been on her own for so long she's starting to realize that she doesn't really have much to fear but that the earth ponies mite find her. The fact is she's already near a friendly encampment. All she has to do is cross no mans land to get to the camp, but there is one problem, No one every crosses no mans land. It seem that Fluttershy needs to buck up and be brave. If she ever wants to get home she will have to do somethings she has never done before. She will have to be brave, assertive, and all else a bad ass for once in her life. Fluttershy now determined to get back to Ponyville Decides that she will have to be Brave and cross.
Once on the battlefield she realizes that there is nothing going on, it is completely silent. For Now... Little does Fluttershy know what she just did. The reason it was so quite was that they had a momentary cease fire. The moment she set foot in now mans land all hell broke lose. The fact that Fluttershy being a Pegasus and on the land broke the pact currently in place. This sent the battle back to life and magic and nature was basic flying everywhere. The main reason that the Unicorns were helping the Pegasus ponies is because the earth pony don't like them and think they are selfish money grubbers. Not saying this isn't true but the earth ponies have there faults as well. So to settle a grudge the Unicorns sided with the Pegasus.
The biggest issue now is that where Fluttershy was leaving was not ideal. She had be on the Earth Pony side and had to get all the way to the other side to get to what she thinks will be a warm welcome being a Pegasus in all, but she's for a rude awaking. As she runs as fast as she can across the battlefield she hears a very loud Voice yell "Charge." In what seem like a sec a large force of Unicorn are in no mans land headed right for her. Fluttershy very surprised, stops died in her tracks. As the unicorns get closer and closer and closer another load voice come over all the noise, " Attention all Pegasus there is one of are kind stuck in the middle of no mans the pony how can get her out of there gets a raise." As soon as the load speaker cut out Fluttershy show a Fast shadow bolt state at her.
She closed her eyes afraid of what was about to happen. In a matter of seconds Fluttershy was unaware that she was now hundreds of feet in the air. When she opened her eyes she was sitting in a chair in what seem to be a tent. To her surprise though she wasn't alone. A shadowy figure stud just feet away with what looked like an black feather in mouth. Fluttershy: "um hello....?" The shadowy figure then moves slowly forward.Soon Fluttershy was able to see the face of the pony. She knew it was a man but had no idea who he was. The figure state is name as being The Shadow because that is what everyone calls him. Well named because of his speed and grace of which he flies, hes there one second gone the next. Shadow spoke softly to her, " What were you doing out there trying to get yourself killed, you do know this is war right?"
