Aureity 3,055 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Ampyrion rolled his eyes again. "Most likely it'll just turn off the lights," he muttered to himself, and flipped the switch before his instinct could warn him. Click, nothing happened. He sat there waiting for a few seconds awkwardly .Okay, brain, you were right. Turning around he made to leave. Taking a few steps, he paused. Wonder what it did, coulda sworn I heard something cl- his next step, instead of landing on solid ground, fell through empty air. What th-"AHHH!" "OW!" he torpedoed right into a pool of water. "Bleagh!" He swam up to the surface and dragged himself up to the shore, or what he thought was the shore. His waterdrop cutie mark tingled at being near so much water. He could feel out each individual molecule, and-"No." He cleared his thoughts and looked around himself. "My brain. Is. An. Effing. Idiot." (Couldn't think of any other way to leave the house without getting killed by falling rocks :S) A lil' Catherine <(^.^)> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverNeverland 1,940 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 "That's the exact point." Flynn said sternly. "Combining the injuries I took, that I didn't even look at, being a unicorn isn't gonna be enough." He picked the sword up, still annoyed with himself. "If I'm gonna be helping you, it better be for making you physically better." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Cloud sighed, finally realizing why she was like this, "Look Rose, no matter what you say, youre not a liability, just because youre small, doesnt mean youre useless. You really think I was always this cocky? I was the smallest and weakest in my family. Prematurely born by two months, nobody even thought I would survive. But that didnt stop me. All Im saying is dont belittle yourself because of your physical standards, If i could beat the odds, then you can too". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,287 January 23, 2012 Author Share January 23, 2012 (Nervous breakdowns for the win, am I right?) She stared at Cloud for a few seconds, and fell to the floor in tears. She yelled out, "I don't know who the hell my parents are, why they left me weapons, I cannot even use the weapons, and I am a freak to nature!"

Strong Hooves 289 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 "And why are you a freak to nature?!" asked Cloud, getting very serious, "Rose listen to me! If you keep breaking down like this then Discord has already beaten you! You need to realize that times have changed, you need to learn to adapt if you want to survive!".

Aureity 3,055 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Ampyrion took a look around the damp cavern. Well, there was one exit...but it was submerged in water. Water? No problem, he thought. I can all but breathe the stuff. Magic, don't let me down! His horn glowed for a second, channeling his affinity with the element. He pointed himself in the direction of the entrance and dove into the pool with a splash. A lil' Catherine <(^.^)> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverNeverland 1,940 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 "You're calling yourself a freak of nature because you don't know some things?" Flynn snorted. "That's no reason for you to be calling yourself that. Whatever that leads to certain knowledge about something can be found out one way or another. You can stand tall and proud, and carry on in your life..." He felt a bit grim after that statement, unable to finish his thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverNeverland 1,940 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 "You're not." Flynn said, feeling a bit lifeless. "Tell me one reason why you're a freak; that tops being a three-legged pony that has to go through a series of handicaps in a society where you have to be of a certain standard in order to get some respect."

Strong Hooves 289 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Cloud sighed and shook his head, "Whatever Rose,That only means that youre special. Look all I know is youre a young, beautiful mare caught up in an unbeautiful world, whatever problem you may have, wont make me think differently. You cant get through life thinking the way you are right now, there is a saying I live by, 'What doesnt kill me makes me stronger', it means that whatever hardship life puts you through, you can find the strength to push through", he put a gentle hoof on her shoulder, "Please Rose, try to be strong" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverNeverland 1,940 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Flynn went wide-eyed. "That's... that's why you're a freak of nature?" He felt angry, more so than his days as a child in Canterlot. "That is not something to be ashamed of..." He started shaking in his legs more than usual, before falling to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,287 January 23, 2012 Author Share January 23, 2012 Rose shook her head violently and screamed, "How does that make me fucking special!?

NeverNeverland 1,940 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 (edited) "BECAUSE YOU CAN USE IT FOR THE GREATER FUCKING GOOD!" Flynn screamed, bursting into a rage. "YOU CAN HELP OTHERS, THE LAND, PLANTS, MANY OTHER THINGS! YOU CAN HELP EVERYONE ELSE LIVE A BETTER FUCKING LIFE! I CANT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT BEING SHUNNED, MOCKED OR FEARED BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME! I HAVE A DISABILITY, YOU HAVE A GIFT; AND FUCK YOU IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE!" Flynn collapsed, burying his head in his only foreleg and frowning at himself for losing his temper like that. (caps lock pony would be proud.)

Electrobolt 2,069 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Even though Electrobolt wants to say something to try and make Rose feel better about herself, nothing popped in his mind. No matter what he thought of, he could not come up with one response to make her feel better. He then put his weapon down and sat next to the saber as he closed his eyes and thought, "If only there was something I could do to make everything better... If I could at least make HER feel better... What can I say though...?"

Strong Hooves 289 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 (edited) Cloud used a hoof to gently raise her head so he could look Rose straight in the eyes, "It makes you special because it is unique. You are obviously descended from a unicorn, you dont need a horn to channel the magic that flows through you. Rose, dont see your gift as a fault, see it as an advantage, you are very special, dont let yourself think otherwise" he then smiled at her, trying to put as much warmth in it as he could.

NeverNeverland 1,940 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Flynn snapped to attention, standing up instantly, and holding the sword in his mouth. He was still feeling a bit shaky, but enough to move and stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Hooves 289 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 (edited) Clooud turned to help up Flynn, then grabbed his axe and followed Rose, "Lets go everypony". He felt different now, ever since Rose's breakdown, he felt as if all humor left him, leaving only bleak seriousness...

NeverNeverland 1,940 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 "Thanks..." Flynn muttered, walking up the staircase without ease. He felt a wave of negative emotions flow into him, along with a nagging voice. He closed his eyes and clinched the sword in his teeth tighter than usual. A massive fuck you nobility and integrity... he thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrobolt 2,069 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Upon hearing Rose speak up, he opened his eyes again and got up as well, carrying the saber in his mouth as well. Hey, at least it's better than walking on three hooves, right? He tried to clear his mind of the matter, but thoughts of Rose calling herself a freak of nature because of her magic still lingered in his mind. "Ugh... Gotta focus..." Electrobolt thought to himself. "Just remain focused on surviving for now..." He continued to follow Rose as they were about to head into the Everfree Forest, to survive.
