The pony who I first met when I landed in the middle of this hell >at that time, her metal wing was just a bloody stump and her eye and ear bleeding on top of that >I don't know what compelled me to help her, I had no idea what side was doing what for what >perhaps it was her eye that stared into me at that moment >I smiled as she sat near me, her face one of stone and some how relaxed >looking at my bag and I assume seeing me before, in one swift motion her hoof held a can of applesauce and its top was sliced clean off with one stroke of her metal wing >a simple nod, she handed it to me >no way you can say no if Dash gave you something >like I even would want to >sipping on it like a can of beer, Dash and I spent our few minutes of break staring out at the sundered land >a cold and firm embrace on my shoulder as she rested her metal wing on me >together, we dreamed of tomorrow
