A Race to the ends of the Earth! (MLP rp) (Not accepting)

[<Terminal March>]

Skye looked at Aquila. "Good luck to you too." She said. "And don't be sorry.. I'll be there to see you before ya know it.." She added, though she knew something wasn't right.

Aquila nodded and followed Moon Bright out of the tent. "You didn't tell her, did you?"

Aquila's response was to spread her wings silently.

"Well then. Tell me if you get tired or something and I'll carry you for a bit." She told Aquila, and the two took to the sky headed for Canterlot.

[<Terminal March>]

Skye looked a little upset, she sighed and looked at her busted wing. "What if my wing doesn't heal in time...?" She mumbled to herself.

Sylvia rushed over to Aquila. "Wait!" She said. "Can I talk with you for a second?" She asked the batpony.

The two ponies stopped in midair, turning to look at Sylvia. "Yeah, of course." Aquila answered, a bit surprised she was still around.

[<Terminal March>]

Sylvia pulled Aquila aside for a brief moment. "Tell me... What's really going to happen to you?" She asked sternly. "I overheard your conversation with Skye.... I have reason to believe you made a false promise.."

She was silent for a bit too long. "There's still a lot... of salt water in my lungs." Aquila admitted finally. "There's a... lot of 'if's. If they can... get the water... out, if my... lungs heal, if i... don't drown in my own... lungs before then. We just... don't know." She admitted finally. "If... I do survive, I will... be able to... be found... by looking for Star... Seeker at the castle... though... that wasn't... a lie." She'd had to take a lot of breaks for coughing in between, but managed the explanation.

"Ok ok.... Look. Skye trusts you, and you have to be strong for her." Sylvia said. "No ifs ands or buts about it.."

Skye went to another tent for something to eat, the splint keeping her injured wing unfurled.

"I... know." Aquila told her. "I don't... take promises... lightly." She said. "I will.. fight... to survive. And I would even if... I hadn't promised."

[<Terminal March>]

"Good to hear.. If you go down.... Skye would be happy to know that you didn't go down without a good fight.." Sylvia said. "Good luck, and I promise I won't tell Skye anything that you just told me." She added, going to sit with Skye in the lunch tent.

Skye looked at Sylvia. "Hey.." She said, finishing a hay and lettuce sandwich. "You aren't gonna finish the race?" She asked.

"Nah." Sylvia said. "That's not why I'm here, I'm here for... Other reasons...." She trailed off.

Aquila nodded and returned to Moon Bright. The two batponies started for Canterlot.
