Age: 9 years
Story:
It was a while back but when Speckle was only a young colt he was too big for his wings, so when the other colts and fillies were learning to fly correctly, he was stuck on the ground. He grew to be scared of the air as he learnt about the damage a thunderstorm could do, and how when it rained his wings became soggy causing them to be little use to him.
As he grew older, his wings became an appropriate size for him to fly but he was scared, he couldn't use his wings when wet, and what if he got into a thunder storm? Speckle was terrified of the sky. So when it came to his first flying lesson Speckle refused to try, he stood firmly on the ground attempting to stare down his instructor.
So, here we are now, a 9 year old stallion, incapable of flight, his sodden wings cause him to have low self esteem. Speckle has little friends, barely any of them understand why he doesn't fly but something changed not too long a go, he wants to learn to fly. The lanky stallion wants to learn to fly, to soar across the night sky and avoid rainstorms.It is quite amusing, sitting here seeing his stand with a simple pair of goggles covering his eyes from the harshly blowing wind as he prepares to leap of the edge of a cliff - don't worry, he have a trampoline at the bottom. Speckle stood tall, his short, scruffy mane frailing in the wind, his tail flicking from side to side as he glances back to watch the tall elder count down to 0. He shook out his broad shoulders as he looked forward, Speckle wasn't sure if he was ready or not but he had ran out of time. 3,2,1!
The soft thud of his hooves began to echo across the cliff as everyone fell silent to watch Speckle leap. He stretched his neck as he galloped, slowly his wings began to spread and he jumped into the air, the wind catching him, allowing Speckle to glide across the sky. Every so often Speckle would flap his wings and glance back at the neighing crowd of fillies, colts, mares and stallions. Then a worrying thought hit him, how do I land? Speckle tossed his head as he tried to think, the wind let go of him, a shrill neigh escaped him as he began to tumble towards the ground, unable to regain his flight he plunged towards the emerald green grass below. The wind soon picked up as he stretched his wings one last time, he soared skywards away from the ground before doing a loop in the sky slowly he began to descend towards the ground.
As he landed the rain began, it beat against his coarse coat as he trotted along slowly, he flopped down in the muddy ground before lifting his gaze towards the sky with a loud neigh. Speckle shook off the goggles which had protected his eyes before snorting softly to a small dapple grey filly running to check on him with all sorts of vegetables and fruits in her mouth. He closed his eyes before drifting into a deep slumber due to the exhaustion the flight had caused.
