Ch8:
Oh my, they really weren't kidding about the cold… The soft-spoken yellow pegasus made her way down the library steps, quiet as a bunny. Or rather quieter, as the unannounced arrival of her pet bunny Angel shortly earlier had proven. The soft sound of her hoofsteps was drowned out entirely by the bunny's shoring emanating from the bedroom upstairs. Fluttershy busied herself tending to the guests, adding wood to the fire and piling blankets on the restlessly sleeping pair. Satisfied that they would soon be warm enough, Fluttershy allowed her mind to wander.
I can't imagine being stuck like they are. So far away from home, constantly reminded of everything they've left behind… Fluttershy smiled sadly at the pile of blankets set in front of the fire as she moved toward a nearby window. Looking out, she saw Luna's moon hanging over the Everfree forest in the distance. Forever reminded of everything left behind… Before the thought could take root in her mind, the moon was obscured by a thick bank of clouds. She continued to stare out over the Everfree, its dark visage reminding her of every terrible thing she had ever seen locked beyond the trees – and the sound of sleeping ponies nearby reminding her of the reason she had survived each encounter.
The shroud over the moon lifted, revealing the night's brightest light once again over Equestria, providing clear view of every aspect of the world, including a bright red light in the sky that wasn't there before. The light flashed bright, then turned toward the ground trailing smoke. Fluttershy screamed, instantly remembering the dark bird that brought Resonance and Evanescence from the sky.
"Fluttershy, what's wrong?" Evanescence shook the cowering mare's shoulder, trying to get some response from the face hidden behind long pink locks. Fluttershy raised a quivering hoof to point out the window. Resonance jumped to the window, leaving her sister to comfort the frightened pegasus. In the distance, over the forest and towards her home, she caught sight of the last dying flame of a wrecked jet fighter.
