Tales Of An Outcast

Chapter 18. Another Bad Dream

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" My scream echoes through the room and the rest of the castle as I sit bolt upright in the bed nearly launching Dash from it. I breath hard nearly panting as cold sweat covers my scales in a thick sheen. Dash having gone from sleep to instant alert looks at me as my scream fades from my mouth echoing down the corridors of Twilights crystal castle. She rubs her ears a moment before asking me with concern in her voice.

"Prism what's wrong?" before I can even reply a lavender burst of light fills the room as Twilight teleports in

"I heard a scream is everything okay?" Twilights voice is tired but filled with the same concern as Dash's.

I smile sheepishly my blush turning my deep blue scales a bright shade of violet as I say. "Sorry girls...really bad dream"

Dash's hoof makes its way to my shoulder rubbing it softly. "Heh. Its ok Prism happens to all of us. You have been through a lot lately"

"Yeah I agree with Dash. I am glad everything is okay though." Comes Twilights relieved response "Well I am going to return to bed. Hope your night is better Glitter" With that Twilight leaves back to her room. Once we are alone though Dash gives me a soft look before asking

"You wanna talk about it?" I look to her and with a sigh I begin to tell her of the dream.

"It started off with me falling from the sky...I opened my wings to stop myself but nothing happened. When I looked back at them they were just mangled worthless things. I watched as the ground came closer knowing it would be my end. I woke up just before hitting"

Dash quickly wraps a wing around my back as she presses her side against me . "While I can't speak for how a dragon takes it but it is hard for a pegasus to lose their wings. I have heard stories where pegasi just go into complete stupors and lose all will to live and others where they end up becoming suicidal.." She stops talking when she looks at the expression that has come to my face. "But that isn't going to happen to you. Because you have got one of the most awesome mares in Equestria as your friend and plus your still part dragon so you have that going for you. Wings were only one part of you" I chuckle softly at her nervous attempt to change the subject that she herself started.

"Thanks Dash, but like you I really liked to fly. To feel the wind in my mane and passing through my feathers. Its gunna take some time to get fully adjusted to not having them right. For now though I think I'd just like to get back to sleep" I let out a soft yawn before laying back down. Dash smiles and nods curling up with me once more.
