Question
“Come on, Quartz! I know you can do this!” I said in an exasperated voice to the small creature in front of me. Quartz was a year old, but for a winged horse, she should be flying in circles and fully trained by this point.
“You’re a Pegasus! Pegasuses are made for flight!” I said. I rubbed her metallic mane and held a carrot up to her mouth to show her I wasn’t really upset, just frustrated. She seemed to sense my feelings and sheepishly took the carrot from my hand.
We’d been at this for weeks and weeks. Her behavior was starting to reflect poorly on my training, and I had only one more day to prove I could handle this. Otherwise, she would be given to one of my older siblings to add to their training schedule.
I took her shimmery white face in my hands and looked into her gold and purple eyes. “We just need to concentrate on the goal, okay? The goal is flight and I know you can absolutely do this.” I patted her head one more time and set the steps up again.
Quartz took a step back from the steps and stomped around in a circle, building up her energy. Finally, she turned toward the ramp and took off running. I could feel it in my veins—this was it! She leaped up the steps and gracefully soared into the sky. I let out a cry of joy. She circled me three times before gracefully descending into the space right beside me. Her eyes shone.
I pulled a sugar cube out of my pocket and presented her with it as I hugged her around the neck. “I knew you could do it!” I whispered.
