Chapter 12- Wrangler's Flying Lesson

“Let’s start by flying around the garden and then we’ll try going farther” Morning Star told Wrangler.
“Okay” smiled Wrangler.

Morning Star pushed off the ground and waited for Wrangler to join her. Once in the air Wrangler nodded at Morning Star and they took off. They flew around the garden for most of day, losing track fo time.

“Girls!”
Morning Star and Wrangler looked down to see Rainsong standing in the garden. They flew down and landed in front of her.
“Hi mom. What’s up?”
“Well you didn’t come in for lunch so I thought I would bring it to you.”
“Oh thank you.”
“It’s in the gazebo, you two enjoy.”
“Thank you, your highness.” Wrangler smiled.
Morning Star and Rainsong giggled. “No formalities when we are alone dear.”
“Okay” blushed Wrangler.
“Enjoy girls” Rainsong told them as she walked off.
“Come on, I’m hungry.”

The girls walked over to the gazebo to find a picnic laid out for them. They sat down and talked while they ate. Morning Star giving Wrangler pointers on flying.

“You’ll pick it up, you’re a natural.”
“You think so?” Wrangler as excitedly.
Morning Star giggled “Yes of course, if your finished we’ll start again.”
“Where just gonna leave this stuff here?”
Morning Star covered her mouth when she started laughing “Yes silly the butler will get it.”
“Oh” blushed Wrangler “I have a lot to learn.”

Wrangler lowered her face and blushed harder she didn’t know there was so much to learn about living in a castle.

“Aww Wrangler don’t worry it took me a while to learn.”
Wrangler smiled weakly at Morning Star.
“Come on I want to show you something.”

They walked over to the fountain and Morning Star lite her horn. Wrangler gasped as a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky.

“Tag your it!” exclaimed Morning Star.
“Hey!!” Wrangler called and chased after Morning Star.
They chased each other around the rainbow, tagging each other and giggling.
“Watch this Wrangler!” Morning Star called out as she slid down the rainbow.

Wrangler covered her mouth and started laughing, the rainbow had colored Morning Star's butt different colors.

“Come on try it!”

Wrangler flew over to the rainbow and let herself slid down it. She started giggling when she picked up speed. Morning Star watched as her friend enjoyed herself with her telepathic powers she could tell Wrangler was doing a lot better.

“Boo!!!” Wrangler appeared before Morning Star.
“Hey!” Morning Star jumped.
“Lost in thought?”
“You could say that” smiled Morning Star.
“Oh look Morning Star a sun set.” she pointed towards the horizon “It’s so beautiful from this view.”
“We should head back before it gets too dark.” Morning Star said looking around.
The girls started back to the castle watching the sun set as they went.
“Look the garden is lite up for us.” Morning Star pointed out.
“Its beauti...” Wrangler’s eyes fluttered and she became unconscious.
“WRANGLER!!!!!” screamed Morning Star she started towards her falling friend. “WRANGLER WAKE UP!!!!”
Out of no where a pink streak flew past Morning Star.
“KARA! Please catch her” called Morning Star.

Just in the nick of time she was under Wrangler and catching her. She lowered herself to the ground with Wrangler in her arms. Morning Star telepathically told her mother they needed help in the garden. She landed next to Kara and her eyes filled with tears.

“Oh Kara, if you hadn’t appeared in time...”
“Yes Princess, I was sent to find you two and make sure you made it home safely.”
“Morning Star what’s the emergency?” called Rainsong. She gasped when she seen Kara holding the unconscious Wrangler.
“Morning Star wink her into her room, I’ll get the doctor.” she winked out after giving the orders.

“Hold on Kara” Morning Star walked over and placed her horn on both Kara and Wrangler. They disappeared in a fall of pink stars and appeared in Wrangler’s room. Morning Star pulled the covers back on Wrangler’s bed and moved so Kara could put her down. Rainsong appeared with the doctor, he quickly shooed everyone out the room. Morning Star paced in the hallway for what seemed like hours.

“She’ll be fine Princess.” Kara told her.
“Thank you Kara” Morning Star smiled weakly.
“Kara you can go, I will stay with the Princess” Rainsong walked up to her daughter and nuzzled her neck.
“Yes, your highness.” she bowed her head and left.
“Mom what if she never wakes up? This is all my fault I pushed her to hard today.” Morning Star said in a hushed voice.
“No dear something else is going on.”
The door opened and the doctor waved them in.
“I don’t what is going on, she is healthy and nothing is wrong with her. I am floored by this” he told them.
“Is there anything we can do for her?” Rainsong asked.
“Just keep her comfortable and let me know if there is any changes with her. Hopefully she pulls out of it soon.” he replied.
“Thank you for your time doctor, I’ll show you out. Morning Star I’ll be right back.”
After they left Morning Star walked over to the bed and tears filled her eyes. “Wrangler please be okay.”
“Morning Star.” she turned to find her Mother and Father standing at the foot of the bed.
“She has to be okay” Morning Star said as tears feel down her face.
“What can we do?” asked Silverwind
“The doctor said to watch her, medically there is nothing wrong with her.” Rainsong replied.
“Oracle will know, they should be back soon.” Silverwind stated. “Why don’t we all get some sleep, I will put Eclipse by the door to guard her.”
“I don’t want to leave her side.” Morning Star said in a hushed tone.
“Morning Star” he started but Rainsong stopped him.
“If there’s any change you know Eclipse will come find you first.”
“O-o-okay. Please be okay” she looked at her friend one last time before heading to bed.

..................

Once everyone was asleep in the castle Morning Star winked back into Wrangler’s room.

“Kaena I need you” Morning Star called out.
Wrangler’s room glowed as flames appeared, out of the flames a beautiful phoenix appeared.
“Princess what troubles you?” she asked in a beautiful voice.
“I want to help my friend, please help me save her.”

Kaena smiled and closed her eyes, slowly she and Morning Star became one. Morning Star walked over to the bed and looked at Wrangler.

“Forgive me Wrangler, I don’t like doing this but I can hear you calling for help.” she closed her eyes and merged her powers with Keana’s. She reached out with her mind into Wranglers mind trying to find her.
“Wrangler please can you hear me?”
“Morning Star is that you?”
“Yes, Please tell me what happened.”
“I don’t know, I just blacked out.”
“Follow my voice come towards it.”
“I don’t know how.”
“Just follow my voice, it will lead you back to me.”

All of a sudden a green light appeared and broke their connection. Morning Star was so startled she separated from Kaena.

“Princess are you okay?” Keana asked her.
“I think so but what was that?”
“I do not know Princess but it was very powerful.”
Morning Star was rubbing her head when the door opened.
“Morning Star what is going on?!” demanded Silverwind
“I was just trying to help her. Did I wake you?”
Eclipse and Rainsong entered the room after Silverwind.
“Kaena what are you doing here?” Rainsong asked.
“Morning Star asked for my help, your highness.”
“Kaena you can go, thank you for you help.” Morning Star smiled weakly at her.
“If you need me just call again.” she disappeared in a swirl of flames.
“Morning Star are you sure your okay?” asked Rainsong.
“Yes Mother, I am fine.”
“It’s late, we’ll talk about this in the morning.” Silverwind said as he turned to leave.
“But Dad” Morning Star started.
“No buts, now go to bed.”he said sternly. “Eclipse will talk in the morning, please make sure no one else comes in here.”
“Yes, your highness.”

They all walked out of Wrangler’s room and closed the door. The King and Queen headed off to there room with Morning Star in tow. Eclipse stationed himself next to the door in a chair, he didn’t notice the green glow coming from under the door.
