Breath. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Twilight open this door, I came to ask a request! Just a simple problem I need you to digest. I need speed to beat the world record, so if you can please cast this spell on me?" Rainbow called out slamming her hoove on the door rapidly. Twilight let out a sigh, her ears listening to the Rhapsody. Not wanting to get up, she asks spike to go open it. "Thank gosh Twilight you took forever, now quickly cast this spell so I can get the dub!" Twilight glares at Rainbow fire in her eyes, shes gonna make a statement a testament to the Nation. "Just like the founding mares you gotta work harder to get it all started, there is no satisfaction to cheating your way up the ladder, you gotta work for the spot, work a lot harder, work a lot longer, take your training to a new level, improve your Weakness, breakthrough your bounds, yell aloud, you got it now, so go walk out, put your back into it, is it really that hard to get into it? I see you on your belly begging for something within reach, just reach out and grab it now don't give up you can get it now! There are others like you, who got to do the same as you, to get to the spot you want to so don't waste your time finding a way around, I'll say it loud you need to not give in, keep practicing every day, I'll show you the way, but you must follow it." Twilight sits back, pulling her face away from Rainbows. Rainbow is unsure, the meaning behind the words, but caught the gist of it. "Twilight I understand you worked real hard to get your spot, you put in the time, to fix our lifes, one of us at a time! But this request I ask of you to not ignore, but to listen to what I have to ask, it's a question, a matter of my decision, so please listen in. I've dreamed of this sense I was a filly, the speed, glory, and freedom, I want to experience all this, but you won't grant me my one wish. So think it through before you tell me no, I need to know were on the same page yo." Rainbow pants quiet in the air, Twilight looking down her thoughts racing hard, tire tread marks, burning in her mind, shes gotta decide how to deal with this, one wrong move and the judgment is, Rainbow won't make it to the finals, get on top make it first, without a doubt this is not, the time to be indecisive, shes gotta put this energy into action. "Rainbow, I know a spell to increase your speed its quite handy when I need to be across the road in a flash, without flashing in someone, however every time I cast it, it pulls from my reserves, because it slows down time for the recipient. Time is a fragile thing and missing with such a thing could lead to doom of you or me so don't go ignoring me when I explain the cost of putting it on. Seeping it into you. The feeling unatural. I dont find the experience pleasant. It hurt quite a lot to get it started. So please, with good concious on my mind. I ask of you to not ask why, I have a spell, that can miss with time. Its a souvenir I picked up, on our Journey here today. Remember starlight? Yeah thought so. It's of her design that spell was made, I simply asked to be taught the form. To perform the arts of Crono-Manipulation, bending time to my will, like a doll on a string, every moment is of my accord. But the strings are a fragile thing. The cost greatly out ways the end result. Why am I even telling you this? Your probably ignoring my every word, every verse, its all flying over your head, so I'm putting my hoof down. I'm telling you no, so go before I make you go. Like I said earlier, training is the key to your lock. The genie's wish you make of three. So dont make me repeat myself." Twilight fluffed up her wings in Agitation, Rainbow saw the signs of stress, and let out a sigh, because she knew Twi was right. "Alright Twilight, I understand the cost of my demand, is there any spell to improve my training?." Rainbow felt herself fall, but get back up, one endeavor may have closed for now, but another opened up. Two doors were open that day, and one was closed, it was the cheat door how'd you know? I guess it was obvious to the plain eye, why this is in Rhyme. Twilight was out here, spitting facts, well Rainbow was listening. "There is a spell about as old as you and I, it increases the wind speed, to the desired speed, keeping it handy incase were ever on a boat. It's been pretty useful so far cooling down this oven of a castle. Wait was I rambling again I find I cant stop myself, the thoughts running through my mind without a thought I'm saying them. I get no restraint and say things I don't mean to say." Twilight gave Rainbow a blush, embarrassed she looked to the floor, and kicked the crystal, like before, when they lived in the library to the right of the door. "Thank you Twi, I understand the talking thing. I make rash decisions myself, without taking consideration of the fact, there are others around me, with the same dream, same goal, were all on the same road, my split is coming up, I'll see you by the woods, by around Nine?" Rainbow was floating at the door, remembering every word they had shared, every verse was hers to mind, there wisdom infinite with time. "Yes Rainbow Nine sounds fine, I'll inform spike ahead of time, I'll be gone for a few hours at most. So I hope he gets the Note." She felt wrong, like something was going on. It was confusing and conflicting her mind so she asked Rainbow "hey-" her voice was weak, what was happening? Rainbow giggled walking out the door, then Twilight heard her voice call out from the other side. "Don't forget to breath Twi!" She gasped loudly, the wrong was corrected, now she feels no more struggle in her voice. "Thanks Rainbow!" She would of yelled out the door, but its Nine in the morning, and she wanted to sleep in.
