Nestled in the sturdy boughs of an old tree that ran along the shoreline, Ampere slept. Her neck was curled delicately around a branch, her limbs locked in separate corners of different branches, and her wings hung loosely against her back, sheltering her from the coastal winds that ran along here. It was in this position that Ampere first experienced dawn knocking on her eyelids.

The pegasus girl stirred without rousing. Dark feathers whispered over each other as they slid over her eyes, serving as shields against the prodding daybreak. The darkness that returned to her was a comfort and set a smile along her maw, but something in the back of her mind interrupted her shadowed embrace and lilting dream. Like the waves upon the shore so the dawn struck her senses, wasting her from a boulder into soft sand.

Ampere awoke with an abrupt startle that disrupted her precarious balance. She tumbled with a cry from the tree tops, landing in a side of sand with a spray of pale grains and loosened feathers. Whatever physical pain she may have garnered from that brief tumble went unnoticed however as she shot right back upright, shaking the beach's sugar from her body with unnecessary vigor, such was her haste.

Blinking away the wind and the salt Ampere lifted her head and that electric gaze to the horizon, a breath in-drawn with a gasp as she watched the steady climb of the golden fingers wrench away the black quilt of the night. Her body gave a visible shudder, though whether from joy or some other overwhelming emotion she could not be sure. In truth seeing the dawn felt so foreign now after an eternity of night - how eerily easy it is to adapt to the abnormal and forget what was, what had always been.

Still, something stirred in Ampere at seeing that sun rise and in response to the thrill moving through her body she let out a boisterous call and hurtled herself onto her wings. With furious pumps she was airborne and speeding along like some hellion. She twirled and whirled, zigged and zagged, dove and climbed back up again. The wind reveled around her and she sunk into the elation, dragging her feet through the ocean's top like a child taking a finger swipe of icing off the cake.

As the water's spray glistened in her wake it morphed. What once was sea foam, airy and pale in the sun, became the jagged, crackling entity of electricity. it took after the vibrant blue of its sorcerer's eyes and spun into a recognizable shape as she cut around it, adding more spray and body to the design. Once finished she shot off, her tail mussed into knots as the sea-breeze yanked around her speeding frame.

A lightning dolphin raced after her, rousing laughter and endless joy from the girl who's hope was restored.
