The air was warm, the sun was shining, and everypony in Ponyville was having a glorious day.
Huh? Looks like we’ve got a new location. Is this a real place? “Ponyville” doesn’t seem like a name Wildbow would come up with.
The town square was bustling and crowded and busy ponies filled the streets.
Ponies?
What?
Is that like a nickname for the citizens of this town?
All the pony folk seemed to have somewhere specific to be. All except Rainbow Dash; her place was in the sky.
Looks like we’ve got our POV character – apparently a cape with the power of flight. What else does she have, I wonder? I think we all know characters in Worm don’t generally have just flying on its own.
The name sounds vaguely familiar, but I can’t for the life of me remember why.
She tore freely through the air, speeding one way and the next, buzzing
the tree tops and racing the wind. The blue pegasus swooped over a schoolyard,
much to the delight of the children, then climbed several hundred feet and
dove, streaking downward as fast as she could. Seconds before hitting the
ground, her wings flew open and she pulled up back into the clear blue. Rainbow
felt alive.
Good to hear she’s having fun!
But, uh. Blue pegasus?
I guess if she have the power of flight in a town where the citizens are nicknamed ponies, that would make her a flying pony, or pegasus. I wonder if her power actually gives her wings, though. That’s something we don’t see a lot with the flying capes in this story. The closest I can think of was Iron Falcon, and I don’t recall if those wings were real or just a costume choice.
As for blue, I suppose blue skin isn’t too out there.
