Thanks to PaulAsaran for their review of this story!

Four years ago, seven friends traveled hand-in-hand through adventures that taught them all the Magic of Friendship. But there is one test greater than any that can be conjured up by magic.

The test of time.

Amidst a high moon and crystal clear waters gradually burning off the steam of summertime, two friends meet. One fears stagnation less than the other, but both of them are lying about who they are. In the night air, they seek to share a special connection to the land and a depth of honesty that only they can truly comprehend.
