I walked back up the cliff and i noticed something odd. Star was building with black wood and i looked at the south side of the cliff seeing quite a few trees chopped down. I walked over to Star "What are you doing?..."

Star looked over at me, stopping hammering with a rock "Oh! I noticed how good this place is so i thought we could make a house here, set up trade, and maybe even end up making it a town" I sighed slowly

"We cant stay here! We have to keep moving!" Star looked at me as if i was dumb

"Oh? Why cant we? Why must we move?"

I thought for a moment and nothing came to mind, i just felt we shouldnt stay in one place "Because... Well... Its foolish to stay here!"

Pone watched us, he seemed to be a bit entertained from our argument Star just snapped "What do you know!? You just a goddamn zebra who is only good at being a murder! You're nothing! Hell given the fact you came into town alone covered in blood when you where just a filly like me shows that your nothing! Not even your parents could help your sorry ass! And your only friend? A bug! A goddamn bug! You're lucky that your still alive!" I growled but after a moment i realized she was right i am just a killer. I lowered my head walking away trying to not show the tears streaming down my face, Merya followed me. Letting out crackling sounds trying to reassure me, i kept walking until i reached a lake with water that is radiated quite a bit, i sat down in front of it staring into the water letting the tears roll down my face. Merya lied down next to me, curling into a ball, i pet her as i kept staring at the water

I heard someone coming up behind me. I didn't care to look, if it was a bandit or something like that i would be happy to die here. But the voice was a odd one, it seemed to be a quite old and ruff voice "Its not wise to be out in the open... You could get killed..." I turned seeing a old pony wearing makeshift power armor with micro-fusion packs to give it the power, he had a grenade machine gun on his left side, a minigun on his right, and on his back was a missile launcher. I looked at him, not bothering to cover my tears

"Look sir... If you are planning to kill me get over with it..." He laughed a very jolly laugh

"Oh no... I am not planning to hurt you. By the way is that building on that cliff you and your groups place? Its a good place to start a town..."

I sighed "It kinda is... But i can go back there... They hate me..." He put a hoof on my shoulder, then picked me up placing me on his back and he headed for it "Oy! I cant go back there! Let me off you insane old man!"

We got there and he tossed me on the ground, i turned my self mid-air to land on my hooves, Star was looking at me and the random old pony quite shocked. She slowly walked up to me "Look... Kalin... I didnt mean what i said... Me, Pone, and even Merya here all care about you..." The tears slowly came back, but tears of happiness this time. I hugged her

The old pony smiled "See? I knew they didnt hate you... They sent me to get you..." I looked at him, quite pissed

"Why didnt you just say that!?" He shrugged, smirking

"My name is Old Pony CandleHoof"

I sighed "I am sure you know all of our names by now huh?" He nodded slowly
