I seemed to walk for weeks before i could see any sign I was getting close to my goal. Then that orange glow grew until it almost filled the whole sky. Then I noticed the canyon started to widen out, and the river was running faster and deeper. Also the walls were getting shorter and shorter. Happily I started to run. The mouth of the canyon was now in view. I began to barrel towards it, closing my eyes so happy to pick my sister. My eyes squeezed tight with joy.

Suddenly, the sounds off my hooves hitting the stone changed slightly. I opened my eyes and saw the surface I was running on had changed. Instead of the slightly rough, flat, grey stone, my hooves were now on a rippled pitted black surface. a large booming then echoed across the lava field. taken back a bit and tripped.

When I looked upwards there was a great mountain. Fire and a great cloud of ash shoot up into the sky from the mountain top. Lightning bolts struck within the ash cloud. making it even more fearful. I gulped and shakily stood up again. Then trying to calm myself I estimated that if I hurry I could get to the mountain in a day. Then another day to get to the top.

So I started galloping towards it pumping all my fears into my legs making them go faster. after pumping for a while I slowed to a quick trot. I noticed a pulsating river of lava beside me.

What sort of world is this. I thought to myself Is it all this hostile? this barren?

Then I noticed the ever pressing smell. It was a bit sour and made me scrunch my snout. The mountain gave another mighty bellow. It almost seemed scold me for getting distracted. Almost as an apology I began to gallop towards it again. More and more rivers of molten rock seemed to sprout out of the rock. I had to hop over the streams of lava to make my way forward.

At that moment I began to feel the extreme heat of the lava. Beads of sweat ran down my brow. I began to slow and could barely make the leaps from island of rock to another. Soon I had to pause. I panted excessively. I felt that I would burn up. The mountain bellowed again,

“OH MY HECK, I’M COMING, LET ME TAKE A BREAK!!!”

It only gave a slight grumble back. As I panted small white flakes started to fall. One fell on top my gagged out tongue. It tasted bit I immediately spat and tried to rub the taste off my tongue. More and more of the bitter flakes started to fall. I had to hope faster and faster to get away. I was covered by the time I reached the base of the mountain. Tried I shook myself off and curled up in a crease of a rock. The mountain bellowed once more almost shaking me from my chosen sleeping spot.

“Holly heck, I’m tired. If I try to climb the mountain tonight I swear I’ll faint.” The mountain grumbled. I curled up again and dug my hooves into the warm black dirt. It soothed me to sleep.

My dream that night, was as my first, life changing. There were three bright personages before me. One that shone like the sun, one that glowed like like the moon, and one that twinkled like the stars. I look at my own self and I lumenest a lightning bolt.

“Whoa.”

The starry one giggled. “Aren't our perfected forms grand Sirius?”

“Perfected?”

“Pure spirit brother.” Said the lunar one.

“Wow...”

“So siri, hows it like. Flesh, I mean.” The Celestial one.

“I don't know... just feels normal.”

“But what about pain, touch, sensation!” She presses ever closer.

“I don’t know how to describe it.” She notices me back up.

She nodded and said. “I’m getting my body tomorrow... a-and it’s going to be an entirely new experience for me...”

“I’ll be there every step of the way.” I then pressed my head against hers affectionately.

A strong wind started to blow me away from the three. “Brother, It is time for you to awake!” Luna shouted over the wind.

“I’ll be there soon Celestia!” A shout as I stretched out my hoof.

“Don’t be too long.” She called back. soon she faded from view.

I woke up on the warm black earth. From behind the cloud of ash peaked a golden disk of light. I blinked as I stared at it. Soon I began to squint and my eyes started to water up.

The mountain rumbled shifting my focus to ascending the mountain. Going out of my hiding spot, I started galloping up the black rock path.

With new breath in my lungs, and vigor in my muscles I made good time. Small embers along with bitter fumes escaped from wholes that appeared every so often in the rock. But I was able to dodge them with ease.

I could tell I was getting close to the top, because the heat was increasing rapidly. I wiped a few beads of sweat from my brow with my unbroken. Soon I popped my head over the edge of the cator and looked into the pool of lava.

Gulping down my fear, I slid carefully down the steep side of the cator, volcanic rock rolling before me. As I reached the edge of the pool I slowed myself by turning sideways.

“Tia, you here?” Almost in reply the bubbling surface of the lava started to froth furiously. I back up a bit. A large plum shot up then suddenly nothing. Then a swirl of lava started to mold itself into the shape of a filly.

“C-Celestia?” As soon as all of the lava settled she opened her eyes that shone as brightly as that golden disc in the sky. As she slowly walked toward me across the lava, tongues of white flame licked up her legs. The flames turned her lava body into one of flesh. She had white fur, and a flowing ethereal mane and tail. She was completely transformed into flesh when she stepped the ground in front of me.

She then looked up to me with her still glowing eyes. Slowly her eyes dimmed until they showed their true colors. I smiled at her and her at me.

“Sirwe, I luv you.” She then hugged my front legs.

Smiling I ran a hoof her mane and said. “Love you too, lil sis.”

Suddenly the mountain rumbled again. “EEP!” Celestia ran under me and hugged my tail.

I chuckled slightly and seat her on my back magically. “Lets get off this mountain.” She hugged my neck and I began to walk down the steep downward slope.

Halfway down Celestia took to prodding my limp wing. “Sirwe, arwe you huwt?”

“No I’m fine.” She then prodded me a bit harder, causing me to winch.

“SIRWE! You are huwt!”

“No, I’m fine its just a broken wing.”

She straightens up and shout. “Bwoken wing!!” she immediately hops of from me “Sit down immediwtely!!”

I decided to humor her so I sat on the warm black rock. She Then rubbed her hooves and stuck out her tongue. I chuckled slightly. When she pulled them apart two pink flames appeared in her hooves. Me wide eyed, she began to rub them into my limp wing. It stung at first but then it began to soothe.

“Done!” She said removing her hooves. I then began to move around my now healed wing.

“Wow Tia this,” faps it a bit. “this is amazing.”

“Your welcome.”

I stood back up and stretched out my wings. “Grab on, there's something I want to try.”

She then hugged my neck again then I took off.

I then ascended up, up, up into the heavens. I loved the sensations and adrenalin pumping through my veins. I felt invincible. After circling round the mountain several times. I landed near the small cave I sleep befor.

“Awwnnn.” Celestia whined. “I wanted to fly some more!”

“It’s been an exciting day for both of us, and I know I need rest.” I then walked into the cave. Celestia a little afraid ran for me. I had already laid down when she came near to me. She then laid down and nuzzled by the warmth of my stomach. Smiling at the sleeping filly. I felt my eyelids grow heavy and slip over my eyes. Then It was a matter of moments till the drug of sleep took hold
