A different view on emotions.

What does one understand under the term 'Inner peace'? The answer varies from person to person, the words one uses to describe, their experiences and choice influenced by their long, or short, live experiences. A youngling might see it as something dull, or even nothing more than a fable, and those who care might describe it as a state of constant happiness. A wise elder would choose his or her words carefully before answering, but in the end, their answer would always be the same as a state where mind and body become one in harmony with all that surrounds them and to have their emotions in a calm and focused state.

The answer to what it truly was... was nothing from the mentioned above. Inner peace cannot be obtained by a mortal, even for the Lights, it was seemingly as rare as to see one of their celestial kin not willing to slaughter their brethren. Inner peace was a state where one being would rarely, if at all, be able to feel negative, only positive to the point that the joy that they feel becomes average and mundane to not have any down for the ups to feel special and unique.

This is what Auriel thought whenever she was alone, not that ever happened often as all life seemingly strived to draw near to her, be it as a star of power, a place of peace, or a simple friend, but something was different.

Auriel let out a quiet moan as she rolled to the side, feeling few little warm objects slightly slide down her form but ultimately still staying attached to her. A warm liquid, soft like silk and yet clear as water was beneath her, did she fall asleep in the pool again? The crisp air, cold and refreshing brushed gently against her sides like a little breeze of the summer. The wind had a unique smell to it, the mix making her nose scrunch up, and yet, the sheer alien sensation made the ancient fox nearly addicted to this new experience. Sweet, salty, a tad musky, a few whiffs of rotten and a little pinch of spoiled, her vocabulary of adjectives was not a complex one, not that there were any for nearly her whole life.

A long stretched yawn flooded out of her with sharp teeth filled maw of the predator, golden and white limbs stretching longly, and a sensation Auriel hasn't felt in her whole life overwhelmed her body. She felt tired, a bit groggy even, but overall, she felt fine...

"What?" She whispered silently as her eyes snapped wide open, the vibrant and with power gleaming gems in her eyes sockets took on a more natural tone, at least, as usual as gold could be, how she knew? She just did. Auriel breath was unsteady, quivering with immense confusion and excitement as she slowly rose from the ground but paying unyielding attention towards the little ones resting on her form.

On her body rested only a few 'lings, most of the young ones had already left her body, squirming away and make a bit of place, or perhaps they simply wished to explore, to move and experience the joy of life. Although the fox rarely does so, she felt the emotions and thoughts of the Queen as she entered the chamber, her feelings were somber at best, sorrow and pain and guilt radiating from her like a beacon of mental distress. She didn't know her reasoning to feel such things towards the unborn, or now, newly born, but she could guess given that the eggs were incredibly old, older than most creatures of the new age lived based on the life span of a pony.

Although the fox wished to rise and experiment, understand why she was feeling the way she was, on the other paw, the sight of the three remaining changelings on top of her was melting her heart away in ways she could fathom. The hatchlings had significantly grown, coming nearly to the size of little Chrysalis if they were to stand, and their power had rise immersive. The chitin had definitely thickened, the horn grew finer, and by the looks of it nearly took on a coiled surface and the wings became more powerful, did she perhaps feed them too much? Could that even apply to the beings in questions? More questions, fewer answers than appreciated.

Auriel took a little breath, the very act of doing to was merely optional as nearly all mortal needs were, but they gave her a little amusement as strange as it sounded, before holding her palm towards the trio of 'lings. Her paws were soft, they could calm the most furious beast, but they were not fitted for creatures who did not have skin to embrace her, and as such, she was forced to use a different method, magic. A thin layer of golden magic slowly began to spread around the silhouette of the changelings, starting from the soft underbelly to the limbs and head, before the young ones slowly were levitated into the ar by a so smooth and carefully power that it did little to stir any unrest into their dreams. The creatures were then slowly laid into the pink liquid, most of it had already vanished, but the soothing temperature was what made them remain asleep.

A sigh escaped Auriel's lips before she returned to the subject at hand. ' What happened to me?' She wondered as she looked over her body, only to find nothing amiss, hurt, or changed, thought her emotions had warped. Auriel didn't feel 'fine' or anything like 'Groggy,' there was only 'Awesome,' 'Perfect,' and 'spectacular,' but never was there something lowly as just a 'meh.'

The once impeccable veil of perfect happiness, everlasting and rarely ever overwhelmed, was lifted, although she could feel the ropes ever so slowly being pulled, for the moment, she was free.

"I'm free..." She muttered under her breath as she looked around her. The room looked scary in a way with all changelings sleeping around her in group and pills, heap and pillars, the bright light assaulted her eyes giving her a feeling of unease and the chilly air made her occasional shiver. She felt alive like never before, the beating in her heard, the tickling in her chest, and the infrequent singular chuckles that escaped her between breaths were signs of what she felt or what she was unable to grasp at the moment.

The Golden fox just sat there, in the puddle of her own emotions, towering all around her while the insane expression plastered across her face was with the rising and sinking chest the only things that indicated any signs of life. For minutes she was paralyzed, frozen still in her euphoria, but suddenly, her ears twitched, leaning side to side as if they were attempting to hear something, and whatever she heard, did something. Auriel's expression warped from madness to curiosity, before making a gasping sound and vanishing by falling into the inch deep liquid like a boulder in the ocean. If this was an act of magic or if her voice caused the ground to give in was unexplainable as the action was far too smooth to be resolved.

The colors of life.

A loud crack echoed through the woods, one that could make even the most coldhearted wince, followed by a pained yelp and whining of a child, or perhaps, child-like? Through the vast forest, bearing creatures, as well as plants of all kinds long gone and some new entirely, a pair of one of the most unique creatures wandered through one of its beautiful groves, the golden light was perfectly caught in the peaceful atmosphere of this amassment of plant that one might've believed to be countless of millennia old. Although the scenery was one of beauty and tranquility, the two most obnoxious creates within were less than thrilled despite the definite upgrade to their previous living location and accommodation.

"I think... I think I dislocated something..." The Solar Alicorn whined as she sued her wing to rub her lower back, as much as she hated the plagued land of snow, there was one thing she missed, and that was the soft snow on top which a thick matt could've been placed. One might wonder how such a pain could be inflicted by a night of rest when there was grass, fluffy and soft, three with leaves aplenty or even moss-covered stones. The answer was quite simple, nothing was soft, the very grass was strong and healthy to the point that the Guardian's feared that one blade of grass might penetrate their hooves.

"Pah, sister, thou seem to have lost plenty' skin on thine teeth." The Lunar sister barked loudly, even falling to the old pegasus language despite the golden fox's disdain for that way of speaking. The Solar alicorn by the name of Celestia grumbled under her breath, a final sharp motion caused an audible crack to escape her immortal back, a sigh escaped her lips and eased her pain. "Now, let us see what we can find to feast on," Luna mumbled quietly, she and her sister, but mostly she, chose to break off from the main group which resided at the exact potion where the supposed goddess left them, while they were to scout for any dangers or resources scattered around.

Celestia rolled her eyes at the gluttony of her sister, although there was a hint of jealously at the incredible metabolism of her sister where she could eat more than thrice her portion and still remain fit without much of sport, yet she seemingly pumped her rump with air by mere crumbles of bread. Celestia's hatred for the unforgiving unfairness of this world was suddenly halted when her gaze met with a fruit she never seen before, hang from a particularly interesting tree. It was one that looked like a conjugation of vines winding around each other to create one larger plant while their very tip bent in such degree that the very plant nearly formed an upside-down 'u,' on its tip grew a pear, though this one glowed in a pale blue light, gentle and cold.

"Luna? I believe I have found something." Celestia casually remarked as she slowly trotted towards the seemingly safe source of nourishment, though all too wary of any danger that surrounded the low hanging fruit.

"Huh?" Luna let out a confused sound before turning around and looking at what her sister was walking towards too. "Ahh, you found something to eat. Good, let's get it!" The Lunar alicorn grinned, her stomach rumbling in agreement, before taking off towards the supposed breakfast, her stomps barely even damaging the grass under her. She opened her mouth, teeth bared, though just before she reached it, a firm tug originating from her tail stopped her in her track and nearly topped her over.

"Sister mine, may I ask you something?" Celestia rooted around her sister, a broad smile plastered across her face, causing Luna to grimace at the sudden surge of awkwardness. "Have you gone insane!? Did you not listen to Starswirl, and what happened when Commander Hurricane touched something strange?"

"Bah, I can take care of myself; besides, this is not some dark powder of destruction, it's a simple fruit. A fruit, sister, they are mean to be eaten. I doubt that anything would happen if I were to pluck it." Luna said with a groan and a roll of her eyes.

"Both of you are right and wrong, kinda." A familiar voice said, causing both immortals to turn around and face the golden Fox, Auriel, who casually laid on top of the curved root with her head closest towards the ground. Her form slithered towards the ground, though just before making contact, she turned around like a cat. "This plant ears the name Chachabu, or, Slinger. It is an incredibly dangerous plan, but if you were to trigger the trap, you could easily save yourself, not that you have the strength to even activate it by separating the fruit from the tree." Auriel explained as she closed the distance between the alicorn and her by swinging her limbs from side to side.

"Are you calling us weak?" Luna asked with a raised eyes, her voice risen slightly as if she were to accept the challenge laid out by a Light. Auriel smiled gently and leaned her to the side, allowing vision to the fruit yet again. Luna grinned, much to her sister's dismay, who let out an annoyed sigh.

"Oh don't actor so uptight, you only get to young once, 'sides, there is absolutely no danger," Auriel said as she placed her, compared to other crumbs, large butt on the ground and caused the helms under her to bend, not due to her weight, but just out of the respect and courtesy towards their maker.

"I know, it's just she's acting like a foal the entire time. She's never been serious since mother's death, and I have been forced to act mature for two." Celestia said begrudgingly as she watched her sister wrestle with all four of her limbs with the plant, her horn sparkling as a beam of magic attempted to burn through the fibers of the tree.

"Perhaps that's why she's not serious?" Auriel asked curiously as she turned her head towards Celestia, who, in return, gave her a surprised look. "Do not give me this look, I can be serious once in a while too. Although I cannot understand the pain of losing a family member as I never had such a thing, I can very much so understand how it's like to lose something close to once heart."

Celestia stared into Auriel's eyes, although they were so much smaller in comparison to her own, despite the significant size difference, the fox's gleamed like pearly, but for once, she could see something other than perfection, it was sorrow. "You must've at least have once had a family, what else could be comparable to lose to a mother's death." Celestia quickly overlapped her hooves over her muzzle, though the fox seemed to unfazed.

"We Lights... are much different than you or any mortal race," Auriel said slowly as her face turned towards the sun, an act that would've taken sight away forever for nearly every creature was nothing for her. "We don't have families, parents, and we can't have children. Even if we did, it would not last long because..." Her jaw froze, stopping herself, before lowering her gaze onto the now heaving blue alicorn. "I made one mistake, one time, and I paid dearly for that, I let uncountable lives be snuffed out by a monster, my children, all of them."

Celestia's mouth opened and closed, the joy and happiness that seemingly were all that the golden fox was made out of were gone and left behind was a sight of pain, regret, and yet the predators would let her mouth's arches twitch upwards occasionally. "What did you do then?" She asked carefully, the pain from the fox radiated like a poisonous fire, yet the pain was less direct than the attempt to feel for her.

"I killed it, I became the very thing I never wanted to become and lost myself. I left behind a wasteland and buried myself under the sands that once rested below us." Auriel's face lowered itself as she looked towards the ground, her paw hovered over the grass, the place that now dwelled in darkness glowed softly in a grey light, the grass died away and left was a patch of dirt."I hid away in shame and gave myself all the blame, this has gone to the point that I began to hear voices in my slumber, but one that woke me was that of a few children shouting after their mother. I felt their pain, I tried to fix the problem with my magic, but I don't know if it was but a hallucination or real."

Celestia's jaw clenched painfully tight as she nodded her head to the fox's words, even if she perhaps not understood her pain or burden herself, she at least felt with her, more literal then any other creature.

"But..." Auriel started as she moved her hand away from the dark spot and let her magic flow into the desolate path and from dark flowers of all colors sprouted. "I moved on, I was woke by little Chrysalis and chose to personally intervene with my children's problems. It may hurt to let go even more so, especially since you can talk and understand more me just as much more as I can you." Auriel's eyes then turned towards the lunar Alciron, who let out a sigh and slumped her way back to the two other. "But just because they may not act like it now, they still love you none the matter, and when you need them, they will be there."

Celestia could only nod, perhaps it was for the better to just see the wisdom that was given to her by a much older immortal, knowledge that she wished she never would have to learn the natural way on her won. "I... think I understand what you're saying."

"I-uh-I think the tree is cheating." Luna huffed and puffed, although an alicorn's strength was supposed to be legendary, any malnourished creature on its last leg was doomed to be weaker than the lowest of creations.

"Just give it time, for now, enjoy being a bit careless, I'll watch over you." Auriel smiled, soft, warm, and gentle with a tilted face, before turning around and walking towards the tree of stubbornness.

Celestia stopped in all of her tracks, the picture of Auriel's expression stuck in her memory, invoking something in her she just couldn't explain.

"Did I miss anything important," Luna asked with a confused look, her eyes switching between the static expression of her sibling and the backside of the golden fox who seemed to radiate with less reach this very day, but made with an intensity she thought could not be reached.

Celestia slowly shook her head, forcing away the feeling of nostalgia and answered kindly. "No, it was nothing you need to be aware of, just an idle chattering between two old mares."

"Watch!" The sudden outburst stole away the entirety of the attention of both sisters as the watched Auriel tighten her grip around the fruit. Auriel tugged the fruit, and the bark of the stalk, but underneath hid a green, rubber-like fiber and a powerful pulse traveled across the entire three, the strain on the connection between fruit and tree grew massive as the plant wished to forcefully move to the opposite direction of Auriel. The golden fox lifted one of her claws towards the stem and, in one fruit motion, cut the connection, causing the tree to nearly catapulting itself into the air as the upper part of the plant arced and hung closely on the other side. The sheer force of the plant caused rocks, fallen sticks, and even twigs of nearby trees to be catapulted so far up that they vanished from sight.

Both sisters had to hold onto their manes, lest they feared to loses all hair on their heads from the incredibly pull, an act of nature's ingenuity of the finest kind. Celestia and Luna could only gawk in awe as Auriel made her way towards them without a single hair out of its spot and sitting down in front of them as nothing had happened.

"Don't try to eat the shell, you'll chip a tooth," Auriel commanded as traced her claws across the peel of the fruit before it fell apart into three individual pieces. The smell was intoxicating, sweeter than sugar, yet not sickening in the slightest, fruity, but not too overpowering in the slightest. The flesh of the fruit bled no juice, it looked as if the inside was entirely filled with some sort of goo, but it was far too stable for that, more like a soft, yet firm liquid that jiggled. "Come on, don't shy away. I promise you won't regret bitting into this." Auriel commented as she took a large bite out of her piece, the fruits inside wobbled much but was overshadowed by the fox's moaning.

Celestia slowly turned her head towards Luna, though she was the first one to shrug, take her piece and bite into it. The flavor was like nothing she had ever seated before. It was soft and juicy as melon, but the flavor was somewhere between strawberries and forest berries. The taste was a blessing of the highest grade compared to the dry food they had to soak up with melted snow to make it even edible. The feast sadly only lasted so long the fruit lasted, which was not long, though before sadness could sit, a whistle stole away their attention.

The fruit's remains were forcefully discarded by a golden glow when their eyes beheld the sight of Auriel sitting at a white table, three fluffy pillows of moss surrounded the object of furniture. As insane as this may sound, what was more surprising was the steaming silver kettle, the tray of cups and teabags, as well as the large bowl of sugar.

"What are you waiting for? Come and enjoy a bit of tea with me!" Auriel waved at the two Alirconrs, both, who were surprised that the ancient fox even knew what tea was. "The water is getting cold, come on, it took me several attempts, but I think I made it just like Bell explained it to me!" Ah...

"Come, sister, let's enjoy a cup of tea," Celestia said with a smile, walking past her sister, who looked at her back with the disbelief.

'What did those two talk about to change her attitude so much?' A Luna wondered upon seeing her sister relaxed and open for new things all of a sudden. Luna shook her head and ran after her sister and took place with a jump, this action causing her to nearly fall over if it wasn't for a tail that caught her flank.

"Careful dear, you wouldn't want to hurt yourself." Auriel cooed, a kind smile and a soft look on her face, as she reached over to the sugar and put two teaspoons of the white gold into her cup, a red teabag followed alongside a stream of searing water. "Please help yourselves, I brought out the good tea just for you two."

Celestia smiled as she put three teaspoons of sugar into her cup, though she stopped once her eyes meet with the most crucial ingredients of tea. "Auriel, what exactly are the sorts?" Celestia asked, unbeknown to her, the treasure chest of sweetness was stolen away by a blue aura.

"I tried to not pull out too exotic mixtures," Auriel said quickly before blowing a cold wind onto her beverage, the table underneath her cup gained a thin layer of frost in the process. "I thought you might like something more settle, so I'd recommend rose flavor," Auriel said as Celestia slowly pulled the rose teabag towards her and gave it a careful sniff, at first confused, before a smile spread across her face before filling her cup with hot water, though the moment it was filled, the container was stolen away as well. "As for you, Luna, I..."

Auriel's words froze in her throat as she watched the alicorn of the dark color scheme pour all the remaining water into the sugar bowl in which one of each teabag resided; the result was a mixture that could not be closer to a liquid made out of rainbow than possible.

"You... you probably should not be drinking that," Auriel said slowly, cautiously, and with unsureness, for the first time in a long time in a long time, Auriel did not know if a combination of her creations would result in something catastrophic or beautiful.

Luna shrugged strongly tilted her head to the left for a moment. "Probably." Despite the short agreeing on the predator's hypothesis, Luna lifted the tincture with her magic and brought it to her lips. The colorful brew rushed down Luna's throat like a waterfall and was gone long before either of the two 'adults' snapped out of their paralysis.

"Luna..? Are you feeling okay?" Celestia asked with uncertainty as Luna let the 'teacup' drop to the ground, her eyes drifted into the void past Auriel, yet her shaking only solidified her worries. The trembling grew with each moment before a thunderous noise burst from Luna, a cloud of colors of all kinds was fired like the flame of a dragon out of the alicorn's jaw, painting Auriel and her surrounding in colors galore.

"I Feel Fine," Luna replied with a wavering smile before her head dropped onto the table, a loud clung noise echoed through the meadow, and a torrent of snores escaped her other body opening, hopes that her other means of venting would not have their grand appearance.

Auriel pried her eyes open with a loud cracking, the colorful gas having settled down and stuck into her fur like honey and refused to leave her without more aggressive means. "She ate the teabags..." Auriel grumbled as she stared onto her 'colorful appearance' Her body was white, pristine to the point it looked like it was touched from incredibly accidious stomach acid, while her mane, or rather the hair on her upper body that was forced back was the color of crimson red.

"Wow..." Celestia commented as she stared at Auriel, her mane glistening in the sunlight, the sight reminding her of old memories, painful one if the sting of grief was any indication. Her face slowly lowed itself onto her teacup, the steaming goodness filling her with sweetness and tranquility no other brew was able to give. Her golden magic enveloped the cup and was brought to her lips, the goodness rushed down her throat like silver and ended with her letting out a satisfying sigh, if one didn't know any better then it would've seemed like all worry was washed away.

"Do you think citron and hot water will get this stuff out?" Auriel asked with confusion before licking at her arms, achieving nothing but a won laughter, and gained the joy of Celestia, who could not hold back her amusement any longer.

"I cannot believe what has become of my life..." Mumbled the platinum-colored pony bearing the name of her coat's color. Platinum's original tiara was destroyed during the journey after an attack of one of the demonic beasts that claimed the ice dessert as their territory. How and why they would choose such a dead, and desoland location was beyond her, though she just stamped it under yet another strike by dark spirits harboring anger against her for reasons unknown to her.

"I know, right!" Shouted an excited pony, her voice filled with joy, this pony was Clover. The mare was one that enjoyed nothing more than to study the very world around her in an endless conquest to crack every last secret this realm had to over. She let out an ear-piercing squeak as she squished her face with her hooves, only highlighting her already seemingly impossible smile. Her eyes, those vibrating orbs, vibrated as they darted onto the watermelon-sized Butterfly that landed onto her head, the creature's long tongue shot out and traced along a scar that Clover had received during a stupid accident as a foal. The sticky liquid sank into her fur, and the wound vanished while regrew there where once a little gap was.

"I don't think it's is advisable to just let everything be licking our faces, don't you think Clover?" Starswirl asked with a stern glare at the winged creature, who, in return, slowly retreated its tongue and left with sturdy flaps. "Don't give me that look, you know I'm right."

"I don't share your opinion." Said the gruff voice of Rockhoof, who in turn lifted his hoof up, only for a large bird to land onto the flat surface, the create appeared to look like a crow, though bore a peacocks tale, but instead of feather's there grew crystals, which in itself was most unusual as the rest of the avian's body coverings was made out of a mix between gas and liquid by the looks of it. "These creatures bear friendly spirits, they won't see us as a threat as long as we don't. I also don't think that Auriel would make a death trap for us filled with voracious beasts."

"While we are on the topic of pulling entire forests out of one's fur and malicious beasts, it does make me wonder why our furred friends have done nothing with these powers, don't you think." Questioned Chief Chief Stone as he walked out of a Bush, his pouches filled to the brim with fruits and berries, only a few did he actually know, but if the animals that looked like a mix of dogs and tiger could eat it, then Tartarus could he.

"If I had these kinds of power's I'd just lean back, go somewhere where no one's gonna bother me, and live a leisure life." Said a voice from above, though relaxed and male in nature. All eyes rose up and met with an armorless Hurricane, his back on a cloud while his head rested on his forehooves while chewing on a straw. "What? That's just my opinion; besides, world domination sounds like a real hassle to manage."

'I cannot believe that someone like him became Commander.' Stone thought with a roll of his eyes, back then during the wars he would've praised all gods for a failure of a leader, but now that they were in the same boat he cursed his previous hopes. His thoughts, as well as all other activities of his companions, were interrupted upon the invasion of familiar voices into their conversation, and all eyes turned towards the newcomers trotting towards them.

"How long do you think it will take for Luna to wake up?"

"Not sure, I have done a lot of dumb stuff, but this is new even for me. I say give it a few hours, among some of the brews, was a potent relaxation herb that soothes nerves really good. But then again, you're supposed to just drink it. If Luna does not wake tomorrow, then come to me, and I'll give her something that will wake her from this seemingly eternal slumber."

"If you say so..."

"Hey, just loosen up once in a while, mistakes are part of life."

"I'll... I'll attempt to try."

"Hakuna Matata."

"What?"

"I, myself, don't know half of the stuff that comes out of my mouth, so don't take it too seriously unless I'm serious."

Celestia snorted loudly, her head shaking with a small smile on her petite muzzle. Her eyes drifted past Auriel's head, the sight of Luna snuggling into Auriel's back like a foal was a sight that could've made even the coldest heart melt. Yet, the somewhat stained smile on Auriel after she had mentioned how this image appeared to her was still bothering her, despite the fox's denial.

"I like your new mane by the way," Auriel noted with a smile as she looked at Celestia from the corner of her eyes, her checks appeared ever so full and squishy whoever the predator smiled, nearly masking the row of teeth.

"Huh?"Asked Celestia in surprise as she looked closer at the denture of the fax, her fur still bore the color scheme after the artistic explosion, but she claimed to have found a way to rid herself of this paint job, but she had not changed her style in countless of years. Her eyes widened when she saw that her pink mane was now colored like a rainbow, flowing in the wind with grace and beauty.

"Trying to outshine the old' rug covering my hide?" Auriel teased with a quick raise of her eyebrows, this was only strengthened by a smirk coming from one unconscious Luna who mumbled away in her sleep.

"Oh stop it," Celestia said with a small blush as she patted the fox onto the shoulder, Auriel, in response, could only giggle.

All the ponies who accompanied the Guardian's across this long journey to this praised land could only let out an unspeakable mumbling at the sight of Celestia socializing and enjoying herself, even Platinum began to wonder if the fox had not hexed them all. Only one pony was able to show a different emotion than shock, and that was Starswirl with a shimmer of pride, visualized by a small smile.

"Oh, I hope we did not keep you waiting too long." Celestia apologized as she sped her pace up slightly, entering the circle of equines with an embarrassed smile.

"Nothing to apologize for." Starswirl waved the delay aside, knowing full well that this was, due to this significant occasion, inexcusable. "Now, come and take Luna with you, we must discuss urgent business. You may come as well, Auriel, if you wish to, that is."

"Ehm... sure, as long as it doesn't take too long. I don't want to keep my friends waiting." Auriel answered with uncertainty, his voice that previously sounded so calm and open was now that of sternness and seriousness. In the past, she might've just waved it off, but she could actually feel herself being nervous, reasons were unknown, perhaps only a feeling warning her of events to come?

Those were the fox's last moments to think before the old Stallion took on a fast pace away from the rest of ponies, their faces were wrapped in discomfort as if they were aware of what she would hear very soon.

Author's Note

Sorry for the long wait and short chapter, but I did not want to keep you guys waiting longer or have the last part of the chapter have a completely different feeling.
