I thought about what Cheerilee had said to me... "And I know it just kills you inside that you can't save me!"

She truly was right. I wanted to save everyone, and everything.
But I couldn't save her.
Why?
Why, world? Why can't I save this pony? Please. I need to know.

She hit me with the cold and hard truth that I couldn't save everyone...
But, I would try my hardest anyway.
I was stubborn like that.

Everyone deserves to be saved...
Except me.

'Why do you show kindness even to the ones who don't deserve it? Why do you trust others who don't deserve your trust?' A voice in my head decided to speak up. I simply ignored it, knowing that those questions would come back to haunt me later....

I sighed, and I lifted myself off of the ground- This time being able to sit upward.

I stood up, and put my head up to the sky.

My wings flapped and I then found myself up in the sky. I flew lightly, not caring about anyone except my friends. I fluttered up and through the clouds, letting the mystery of the sky take over me.

I sighed. I wanted to stay up in the sky forever, but I knew I had to go back to my friends. I felt truly free up in the sky.

But I also felt truly free with my friends...

I looked to my left, and I saw some other pegasai. I kept in my gasp, and I just stopped beating my wings.

I did that on purpose.

I let myself fall down, all the way back to the ground, only to flap my wings right before I touched the ground.

I folded my wings back to my side, and I began to trot my way home.
