I squirmed around. "Blue, is this completely unnecessary!"
He continues at a steady pace, completely undeterred by my complaints. "Of course it is, you've been injured, you shouldn't be moving around on your own."
"I keep telling you that I used my healing magic!"
"That's no excuse. What if it didn't heal properly? Or if you used too much energy and you collapse?"
"That doesn't mean you have to carry me in your magic!" I flapped my free wing, irate. His golden aura felt warm and comforting but I really wanted to walk. "And Rarity says you aren't a gentleman."
He snorted. "Only to gold digging harpies." I chuckled as he continued. "I have a persona to keep, but you've proven that you don't wish to use my status to gain prestige."
"Nope, I'm just horny." I giggle as his coat turns bright red. "Ahh, I love bugging you. So, Special somepony or no?"
He drops me unceremoniously in a pile of dead plants. "You're walking."
I sigh and shake my wings. I look around and notice he's already ahead. Trotting up next to him I grin mischievously. "You didn't answer my question."
"You don't have to know." He snapped.
I stuck my tongue out at him and flew up through the canopy. Glancing around I noticed the airship in the distance. I dive down and pluck Blueblood off the ground, taking off towards the ship. He yelped in surprise. "Told you I was better." I cackled and spun in the air, barely managing to miss the trunk of a tree. I laugh pulling him closer to keep him safe
I dropped Blue in the sand and tumble across the ground into the shallows of the ocean. Shaking some droplets off my coat I laugh. My breathing was heavy and uneven but I felt energized and alive. I rolled my wings and flicked some droplets at Blue.
He glared at me and his horn began to glow. A sphere of water floated up and sailed towards my head. I squeaked in alarm and flapped my soaked wings uselessly. thankfully the water orb sailed past my head and splashed back into the ocean. The Unicorn foals giggled and tried to copy Blue's technique. The Gryphon cubs picked up handfuls of wet sand. And so began the Water wars.
"Crush the pony rebellion!" I flung some seaweed at Blue, he yelped and retreated. "First stain, bwahahahahahaha!" Grabbing several water orbs in an air spell I sent them flying after my enemy. "Don't start what you can't finish!" I giggle and chase after him. Waterballs sailed between us, after getting too far from the water I traded for sandballs. Blue however had a larger range than me and he refused to relent.
"Ha! Take that, ruffian." he hurled another orb and pegged me under a wing.
I collapsed in a fit of laughter, soaked to the bone. "Gah, I surrender." I throw my last sandball at his hooves. He lifted it in his magic and threw it at me. "PFffftt pffftbt" I squirmed and batted at my beak, now covered in wet sand.
"Meanie head!" Blueblood was suddenly assaulted by Foals and cubs alike, it filled me with pride that they were working together despite their differences. After snorting a clump of sand out of my nose I rolled onto my belly and watched Blue be chased by the unicorns and Gryphons. The poor thing was completely helpless, especially after Greenscale decided to join in. It was fun and filled me with love for them, that feeling was clear in my mind as a began to slip past consciousness.
