In the skies above the crystal empire...

Solar Flare stood watching as the impending cloud mass drew
closer and closer. The instant they covered the sun, he would be
off like a rocket. Just a few more minutes. He was itching to
get off the ground, practically dancing with excitement. He
looked down and glowered at his wings and the shining spots the
were leaving on the ground. Just a few more minutes, and he
would be free. He looked around for the nearest set of stairs,
and apon spying some on a nearby building, climbed as high as he
could. He looked far out across the city, to where the edge of
the clouds' shadow was just appearing. Closer, closer, closer
still it came. After glancing around, he stretched out his
wings, flexing them in anticipation. Only a few more seconds
now, he could see the shadow coming. He bent his legs, tensing
up and getting ready to launch.
"Oh yeah, it's go time." He said, as the shadow passed over him,
and all of the energy he had been containing exploded out
through his legs, launching him high up into the sky at an
incredible rate. Just as the ark from his jump peaked out, his
wings flashed open, and he sat hovering for a few moments.
"Anypony want to got flying with me?" He yelled down to the
ground below.

As the train approaches the station in Canterlot, Ebony
Coldsteel looks out the window. Surely the empire is a sight to
behold, and getting orders from Luna to come here certainly is
an enjoyable one. As the locomotive comes to a stop, he gets up
from his seat and picks up his suitcase. Once he gets out he's
greeted by a fellow guard of the Crystal Empire, "Good to see
you sergeant. This all I have with me. Before I go to the castle
I'm going to look around for a bit." The fellow guard nods and
offers his hoof; Ebony passes him the suitcase and gives a crisp
salute. As the guard leaves with his luggage the captain begins
wandering around town, noting the approaching overcast in the
sky. It's when the clouds pass over him when somepony catches
his attention, a Pegasus in the air asking about a joint flight
adventure. Shrugging, the captain spreads his bat like wings and
takes to the sky, reaching the pony in a matter of moments.
"I'll join you. Haven't stretched my wings since I got on the
train. Captain Ebony Coldsteel, Lunar Guard; pleasure to meet
you."

Solar watched as a pony with bat-like wings flew up, and he
smiled.
"I'll join you. Haven't stretched my wings since I got on the
train. Captain Ebony Coldsteel, Lunar Guard; pleasure to meet
you." The stallion said. Solar nodded, sticking out his hoof to
shake.
"Solar Flare, Scientist, engineer, and daredevil. Nice to meet
you too. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one whose wings are a
little... Unusual." He said, glancing back at his own crystal
wings.

Ebony nods as Solar Flare introduces himself, noting his
professions as well. He looks over to his wings to find they are
quite unique from he's used to seeing. "Ah I see, they look nice
though. My wings are more likely to scare than impress. Still,
it's not just my wings that have that effect." Ebony scans the
sky around them, "So I'm a bit new here. Can you show me the
hotspots around here?"

"Sure thing. Be careful around the castle, first, that thing
sucks heat out of the air like crazy. If you're lucky, it causes
a rolling draft a little higher up, and there are some great
hotspots up there. Here, I'll lead." Solar flare said, taking
off at a high speed. Remembering his company, though, he decided
he should probably be a little more considerate. He turned at
looked back at the stallion.
"Sorry, I guess I'm just excited, the last cloudy day was last
week." He said, chuckling in mild embarrassment.

Ebony nods as Solar Flare explains the area, keeping note of the
castle in particular. As the Pegasus takes off into the air, the
captain follows, keeping a short distance behind him. "Don't
worry! I get like that on a clear night sky and a full moon. I
gotta ask though, why get excited over cloudy weather?"

Solar flare sighed, spreading his wings out wide.
"It's these things. They reflect and refract light in sometimes
unpredictable ways, and I've accidentally done everything from
setting a building on fire to bleaching a pony's mane white. So,
now I can only allow myself to fly when it's cloudy, or there
isn't much of a moon, or I might hurt somepony." He said sadly,
flapping powerfully again to compensate for his prior stillness.

"That's rough." Ebony replies, looking back up towards the sky.
"Well if that's the case, let's waste no time, we got overcast
and were going to use it!" The noctral begins a faint dive, "You
take point Solar Flare, I'll follow."

Solar nodded, flapping to gain a bit of altitude before gliding
a long stretch, sweeping wide around the castle. Every now and
again he did a barrel roll, or a quick dive and reascension. The
cool, fresh breeze whipping past his face, the feeling of the
thermals scooping him up, and the sight of even an enormous city
like the Crystal Empire made small; these were the moments he
lived for. He had to find a cure for his wings, so he could fly
forever. He looked back to see if his companion had kept up.

Ebony remains in close formation as Solar Flare conducted his
maneuvers. Thankfully training as a Lunar Guard taught him to
finely control the minute directions of his wings. The view of
the empire wasn't bad either; parts of it sparkling under the
cracks of sunlight. He keeps an eye on the scientist should he
make any sudden maneuvers.
