Description

Contest entry for the amazing and super sweet *xRhythmOfLove! :D
It's my Aquelitan crossbreed mare, Silverlight (who, in this, is definitely OOC as she barely is around any others other than Storm Bringer, her mate XD but it's a contest entry so what the heck? XD) and her adorable character Nadina. XD

Crap! Forgot her wing scars! XP But I spent 3 or 4 hours on this thing. I'm givin' my hands a break!

Storeh time! XD

Nadina looked carefully over the edge of the cliff. The usually bubbly, fun-loving, daring mare was now a bit nervous. She looked at the Aquelitan cross next to her.
"Are you sure this is safe, Silver?" she asked warily. The shy winged horse smiled in response, her half-blind gaze turning to the other mare.
"Of course! I've done it dozens of times before," she replied matter-of-factly, twitching her torn right ear.
The mare had a crazy plan. They were to jump off of this cliff that stood somewhat high above a deep pool of water and be completely unharmed. (AN: anyone get the reference? XDDD)
"But you have wings," Nadina retorted.
"True, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna use them. They might be spread a bit, but not enough to keep me aloft," Silverlight explained, shaking out her scarred wings. "Now come on! It's gonna be fine! And fun," she said with one of her rare grins. The wind began to pick up and the crossbreed shuffled her hooves a bit.
"REady?"
"No! What do I do?!"
"Just jump!"
Silver leapt off of the edge, closing her eyes and letting herself fall. Nadina watched her and gulped. But she had to do this. Who knows? Maybe it'd be a lot of fun and she was just letting nerves get to her. She took a step back, then ran and leapt off of the edge. While Silverlight remained calm, Nadina chose to look down and let out a yell of panic as they rushed down, closer and closer to the water. The green-blue maned horse tensed herself as she got closer...
SPLASH! SPLASH!
Two loud, huge splashes sent water everywhere as both crashed into the water. Silver and Nadina's heads broke the surface, and the half breed was grinning widely as she treaded the water and swim skillfully as her kind was known to do. Nadina wasn't sure what to think as she swam after her, breathing hard and wanting out of the water. How in the heck do they love this stuff?!
As they climbed out on a shallow spot and shook their coats, hair, and wings out.
"So, how was it?" grinned Silver.
Nadina tried her best to keep a straight face, and she suddenly burst out laughing and grinning. "That was awesome! I'd do it again if you're up to it!"
Silver smirked. "Well then...race you to the top!

crappy story is crappy. XD
