The two walked slowly past the bodies trying their best not too look. They could feel many cold stares upon them.

“Mr. Eisuke, Princess Aishi?” a Quiet voice peeped from behind them. They turned to face a small changeling about half of Gallus’s height looking up at them with dried tears marking the sides of her face. “Where were you all last night,” she said beginning to cry hugging the two.
“Why did you leave us when you knew they were gonna attack?”

“I-I don't know,” the griffon said confused. “Kid we need to get to the castle and figure out what happened. Go find your parents they probably would like to know where you are.”

The young changeling looked into Gallus’s eyes,
“they’re gone…”

____________________________________________________________________________

“That poor changeling,” Silver said as the two headed for Kitinea castle.

“Seriously, I really don't know what happened, but I feel bad for her? Having to grow up without parents is no fun. Trust me.”

“Yeah just, who would do such a thing to a little changeling?”

“We did…” The two turned to see Wind Runner looking down at the ground.

“What!?”

“We attacked last night after the Cremantin military and you two left the city. We weren't victorious, but… we killed so many civilians.” Wind began to tear up, “I remember that changeling’s face when Felan took her parents life, it haunts me”. The two sat there in disbelief not knowing how to react to such a statement. “I hid, I ran, I tried my best not to hurt anyone, but I was attacked by a guard and had to fight back there was nothing I could do to stop them from trying… I never wanted any of this. You two get the princess I’ll wait outside the gate”.

They nodded and started making there way to the castle.

“That stallion will never be the same.” Gallus said. Silver nodding in agreement.

The two headed up the stars to the castle's main entrance to notice two guards blocking the door.

“HALT!” two guards stated. “The Castle is under heavy guard after the recent att-”

“Guardian Eisuke and Princess Aishi my apologies.” A voice called out behind the two guards, “At ease men.”

The two Guards removed themselves from the entrance revealing a tall figure.

“King Norami,” The two bowed.

“Where’s Yasashii?” silver asked the king.

“She's fine. You need to come in quickly.”

The two entered the building as Guards swarmed the stone walls.

“I’m sure you heard that we were attacked last night by them. They failed to capture the castle.”

“We heard.”

“Though we won, we lost too many changelings in the army and civilians... I should have never told you all to leave,” the king said with a tear in his eye.

The two sat in silence not knowing how to respond frankly not even knowing why they were there last night.

“You two should get to Yasashii. She would be delighted to know you two are here. I need to go spend some time to myself.”

“Is she in here room?” Gallus asked the king. He nodded back heading up the stairs.

“Soooooooo where do we find Ocellus?” Silver asked snapping Gallus out of his roleplay.

“I have no clue where her room is. I would guess upstairs.”

The two headed up to the second floor seeing the maze of hallways ahead of them.

“How are we gonna do this?”

____________________________________________________________________________

“Gallus!” silver called over to her griffon companion.

“Keep it down! Now What!?”

“I think I found her,” she said pointing to a door.
Gallus headed over to the door hearing a faint sniffle from behind it.

“Yasashii?” he said cracking the door to notice a small lump cowering on a bed.

“Gallus!?” the lump peeped poking its head out to face the two figures .

“Ocellus!!!” silver screamed rushing to give the small changeling a hug with Ocellus returning one in full.

“I am so glad you found me. I didn't know where or who I was plus we were under attack.” She said crying into the hippogriff.

“Well we're glad you're safe, so I'm assuming you never left this room?” The griffon asked,Ocellus nodding back.

“You are probably dying for some food right now.”

“Mm-hmm.”

____________________________________________________________________________

Gallus entered the room with some snacks for the three of them since they decided they need to stay the night.

“What took you so long?” silver said irritated.

“I had to tell Wind Runner we would be staying the night. He said he would camp outside the gate.”

“Who’s Wind Runner?”

“He was a slave from the Interitus clan, let's just say I got into a fight with his superior and…” He trailed off looking down at the ground not know if he should even tell her for her mental sake.

“And what?”

“He killed him,” silver said immediately covering her beak.

“You what….” Ocellus said starting to feel sick.

“I had to! Or me and silver wouldn't be here right now! Ever wonder how she got that cut!”

The room fell into an awkward silence
“Where's the bathroom I feel like I am gonna vomit.” ocellus said trying her best to stand.

“There's one behind that door,” gallus said pointing to a door near the bed.

“Thanks,” ocellus said in a drunken walk. Silver rushed over to help the weak changeling. She entered the bathroom locked the door behind her.

“You had to tell her!”

“Sorry... It's just slipped out I didn't think it would make her sick.”

“It's fine just she didn't need to know I killed him…. Well I am gonna get to the guest room you staying in here?”

Silver nodded looking over at the bathroom door hearing her friend “have an adventure.”

“Okay well good night,” gallus said leaving the room.

“Night.”

____________________________________________________________________________

The sun shone through a single small window illuminating the small room. The rooms occupants awoke to the delight of the light going straight into their eyes.

Gallus awoke with a grone moving to the left to get the sun out of his eyes trying to get a few more minutes of sleep.

*knock knock*

“Ehhhhhhhhhhh Five more minutes.”

“Gallus its 11:30 get up,” a irritated feniman voice called behind the door.

Gallus grumbled rolling out of bed. He walked over and threw on the clothes he wore the previous day and grabbed his sword. He exited the room coming face to face with his female companions.

“Well good morning,” chirped silver. Gallus nodding in response to acknowledge his hippogriff friend.

“Sooo what are we doing today?” ocellus asked the griffon as he headed down the hall.

“I don't know probably heading to Kraso village thats where I assume Wind is from, but before we leave I’m gonna get something to eat.”

The three of them left the castle and went into the desolate city. As they walked down the main road, many of the covered lumps where gone. They also passed many changelings still mourning their lost ones around the bodys that haven't been taken away. The site and smell of rotting corpses made the three of them sick. They made their way to the main gate as quickly as possible.

“There you are I was wondering what was taking you so long!” Wind called to the trio.

“Gal-Eisuke over here overslept,” ocellus said irritably.

“You must be Princess Yasashii. The names Wind runner, but you can call me Wind,” he said with a bow.

“Yes Eisuke over here told me about you.” The changeling said in a clam tone.

“Oh… I-I-” WInd looked to the ground releasing she knew.

“You are forgiven,” she said trying her best to place a hoof on his shoulder. Wind said nothing, yet he looked into her eyes and saw they were full of care. He smiled and gave her a small hug to show his thanks.

“Okay you two, we need to start heading down to Kraso village to make it there by sundown.” The three looked at the griffon nodding.

____________________________________________________________________________

The four creatures walked down the worn path taking the same way as the other day. Eventually a smell started to fall onto the path.

“What in the name of Cretia is that smell!” Wind runner exclaimed.

The smell could only be described as the the smell of death and decay.

“I don't know, but whatever it is I hope to not see it.” Ocellus told the stallion.

The four drew near a red splotch on the path. Three of the four quickly realized what the smell was.

“Yasashii close your eyes,” gallus told the changeling.

“why?”

“Trust me please close them.”

She nodded closing her eyes just a few feet from the scene.

“Silver could you guide Ocellus along the path? Also could you stop at the tree and wait for us to get back? Me and Wind need to do something about that smell,” gallus whispered.

“Sure thing,” she said with a nod.

Silver grabbed Ocellus forcing her past the smells origin. Gallus and Wind Runner walk upon the corps of Winds superior.

“We need to move him farther into to the forest to try to kill the smell the best we can.” However, Wind couldn’t focus on what Gallus told him. All he could do was stare into his master’s dead eyes as horrific memories flashed through his mind.

“wind… wind!...Wind Runner!!” Gallus slapped the stallion across the face snapping him out of his daze.

“Sorry just to many memories.”

“Allright well help me move this body. Grab his legs.”

Wind nodded levitating the corp’s hind legs.

“Damn he's heavy,” Gallus complained as the two walked into the large forest.

“Where are we planning on putting him?”

“I don't know middle of the forest mabe?”

The two plopped the body in a dich deep within the woods. Though one seemed to be in deep thought.

“Eisuke”

“Yeah?”

“Do you think we should at least cover him?”

“Hmmm… I guess so.”

The two grab some large branches and placed them over the body. They headed back to the path meeting up with there female companions.

“You okay Wind?” Silver asks the tranced stallion.

“Huh? oh yeah it’s nothing… let's just get moving.” He said as he slowly moved down the path trying to distance himself from the past scene behind him.

“What did you two do?” Ocellus asked Gallus wondering what would have caused Wind to come to such a state.

“It’s nothing Ocellus just memories.”

“Oh okay,” she said stating to follow Winds hoofsteps trying her best to catch up to him.

“Sooo did you find that smell you reek of it,” silver asked her friend while steedly distancing herself from him.

“Yeah, want to take a guess on what it was?”

“Was it… Him?”Silver asked her friend.

Gallus nodded “we had to carry him off the side of the path.”

“Oh yuck,” silver said obviously disgusted at what poor Wind Runner and Gallus had to do.

The Four came upon a bridge with a river swiftly flowing below. Gallus knows this would be his best opportunity to wash himself after what has transpired only about an hour ago and to at least let the rest of the group take a break.

“You sure none of you want to jump it the water actually quite nice.”

The other three collectively shook their heads.

“Come one not you even you silverstream?”

“No gallus I don't have th-”Silver cut here own words off realizing Wind Runner was look at them confused by the names they called each other.

“Silverstream, Gallus? Whats going on here? those like nicknames for you all?”

The three look at each other realizing the hole they dug them self.

Gallus sighed stepping out the river. “Look Wind were… not really them.”

“What?”

“Our names are Gallus, Silverstream, and Ocellus not the names you know us by.”

“Oh so the names that everyone use are like for formal reasons or like-”

“We aren't from here we got transported into a comic!” Silver’s outburst caught the other three off guard.

Silence fell upon them none of the knowing how to respond.

“Yeah that's what i was gonna say…”

“So you three aren't really…”

“Yep our friend Smolder opened Gallus’s copy of The Adventure of Eisuke: The Heroes of Crementia sending us here. We are from another universe where we live called Equestria.” Ocelles said trying to to make eye contact with Wind Runner.

“Well then. Ok Gallus, Silverstream, Ocellus.” The three look up at Wind Runner seeing his sudden shift in tone. “The name is Wind Runner I would like to know the real you.”

The three smiled at the Stallion fully open to the idea of explaining what Equestria is like and how different it was from Crementia.

____________________________________________________________________________

“So let me get this straight you live under water you whole life!”

“Mm-hmm the storm king prevented us from leaving Seaquestria or you know we would be found out and would have been recaptured.”

“Well it's great the he was defeated or I would have never met you!” Wind looked away from silver and realized something. “welp here we are… Kraso village.”

The four looked up at the sign releasing this was it they got him home.

“You nervous?” Gallus asked the stallion.

“Yeah what if they don't know me wh- what if they think i'm a spy?!”

“You’ll be fine come on,” Ocellus said placing a hoof on his shoulder.

The four entered the Village many alicorns turned to watch them head down the street. Wind’s heart raced seeing this. Did they forget him?

“D-dad?”

A voice peeped from the side of the road. Wind turn to face an alicorn foal. The two stared at each other as two other figures pushed through the crowd to come face to face with the stallion. WInd rushed over to the three alicorns hugging them tightly.

“Wind I-I- We thought we would never see you again.” the mare told her stallion crying profusely.

The three heros smiled at the sight of the reunited family.

“Wind you never told us you had a family” Ocellus told the Alicorn.

“I didn't?”

“Oh my! Guardian Eisuke, Princess Aishi, Princess Yasashii! I-I thank you!”

“No problem ma'am that what we do,” gallus told the mare with pure pride.

Two young foals ran up to the guardian giving them a warm hug.

“Thanks for bringing our daddy back!” the young ones said looking up smiling.
All Gallus could do was smile back.

____________________________________________________________________________

The three walked in to Karaso Inn checking in for the night. They walked down the hall to the their respective rooms which were right across from each other.

“You two are sharing a room right?”

“Yep im so excited! We can talk about so much Ocellus! Ocellus?” Silver look down to see the changeling passed out leaning on her hippogriff friend.

“Ha I guess that walk really exhausted her well not just her i am pooped. I want to sleep as soon as possible. You should too if we are gonna make our trip back to Crementia castle to pick up supplies to head to Yaksvill or Dragon's domain.”

“Okey dokey! Good night!” silver said as Gallus closed the rooms door behind him.
As gallus laid in bed, he could only think of one thing. How in hell where his friends keeping their cool.
