Sunset was having the most pleasant dream.
In it, she was finally back home in Equestria, flying high in the sky next to Twilight, Celestia, Luna and Cadance after being crowned Equestria’s newest princess. She was smiling so brightly and for the first time in a long time she finally felt… happy.
Until she opened her eyes. That was when the panicking began, mostly because she was literally falling from the sky. Fear gripped her as she let out a scream, and desperately searched her body for anything that could potentially help her, but stopped when she heard a low beeping sound. She looked down at her chest, and saw… well, she didn’t even know what that was, and the ground was coming up on her.
Fast.
Desperately, she began to feel around on her mysterious pack, frantically looking for a switch or button or something, but after a few more seconds, she felt herself get pulled into a violent jerk. Thank God it was a parachute. But that still didn’t help that fact that she was heading for the top of the treeline as a high rate of speed.
There wasn’t much she could do now, expect brace for impact, grunting and shouting in pain as she finally hit the trees. Thankfully, she didn’t feel anything break and she finally felt herself jerk to a stop as the parachute got caught in a branch. She figured the only reason her shoulders didn’t dislocate was due to the tightness of the straps around her body. But it still hurt though.
She let out a shriek of pain, and tried to get herself to stop the swinging that had started when she got caught. Once that stopped, she took a moment to study her surroundings. And… well, there wasn’t much else, other then trees, trees, and more trees. She fi5the only way she’d know more was getting out of this constricting parachute.
Reaching up, she grasped the two parachutes cables in her hands and lit up her palms, the heat from her magic burning through the cables in an instant. She dropped to the floor in a heap and shook her head a few time to clear her thoughts before finally beginning her trek through this new place.
