The Curse of the Princesses

Chapter 7

We get to the broken bridge.. this is going to be hard because none of us have wings anymore...I end up trying something.. very VERY risky.. but it's to save the ones I love..

"You guys have to trust me on this.. this could cost me my life.. but I have to do it!" I beg.

"No! we can't lose you, Tia!" The three say with tears forming up in their eyes. While they turn around to discuss if they will let me do it, I climb down, holding onto the dangling bridge as much as I can. My hooves are a little hard to use, but I got no choice. "CELESTIA!" I hear Twilight yell. I climb lower down, as low as I can go, to the last wood plank, and I grab on a try to find the cliff side with my back hooves. I start pushing off the cliff, and I continuously do it. My legs could snap any second, but I am praying that, that won't happen.

My hooves keep slipping.. any moment my hooves can just... let go.. and that will be it..I have to think of succeeding.. but I don't think I will.. I think I will fail everypony..And I see myself getting coated with gray as I think about failing... and dying.. and failing the ones I love.. the ones I care for. With that my hooves slip and I start falling... I could only feel the sorrow and pain of the ponies still on the cliff are feeling. I slightly hear them yelling and screaming. While I fall.. I have flashbacks of all that we've been through.. ever since I was born...I close my eyes and let nature take its course.

All of the sudden.. I don't feel myself falling anymore.. I feel pressure against my back.. I don't open my eyes, but I hang on. I am dropped onto the land, on the other side of the bridge. I run my hooves through the dirt and grass and get up. I still see the others on the other side, their mouths dropped open and I see them jumping in joy while tears run down their face... I don't know what happened... I could barely hear, my ears are popping from the wind running so fast.. But I hear a faint sentence from Luna. "Go ahead and find the crystal" I am still suffering from very close to death syndrome.. I know it isn't a syndrome.. but that is how I feel right now.. But I turn around and race towards the temple. I limp up the stairs and I find the main room, where the secret entrance is, but.. somepony is there waiting for me..
