Kind of an epilogue.

The Letter

Two weeks after Silverstream’s best worst day, Silverstream received a letter from Cousin Skystar. Silverstream smiled. Her cousin’s writing was certainly messy after all that time spent underwater, but it was legible. Silverstream smiled, and unfurled the letter, beginning to read.

Dear Cousin Silverstream,

I was so happy to hear from you after all of this time! I’ve been missing all the fun we used to have since Mom sent you to The School Of Friendship. You’ll have to say hi to Pinkie Pie for me if you see her- she was so much fun when she came to Seaquestria! I can’t believe that felt like so long ago.

Honestly Cuz, when I got your letter, I wasn’t surprised really. You’ve always been a caretaker and making somegriff happy is something you were always good at. I know you didn’t tell me who it was out of respect for them, but whoever they are, they are really lucky to have you. You’ve got so much to give, and I’m really happy for you. To hear that you found somegriff who makes you as happy as you’ve said, that means a lot. It makes me happy to know you have such amazing friends.

Shelly and Sheldon have come out of their shells and up on the surface a few times. They loved seeing Mount Aris but they still think of Seaquestria as home. I don’t blame them, since it’s where they grew up. Mom kind of goes back and forth between them for obvious reasons. I don’t really know how she does it. It’s like she’s trying to be Queen in two places at once. Sometimes I get tired just watching her! Me… I’m not really sure where I fit yet. I love both places, so I try and stay with Mom to get the best of both. Your brother Terramar understands that better than anygriff. We talk about it a lot. I’ve seen your Mom and Dad in the meantime, and they’re both doing well. Your Dad is still running the “Proud To Be A Hippogriff Festival” on the weekends, and your Mom has My Mom over for tea a lot, and me too. They miss you, and I do too.

I hope you know, that whoever you’ve taken under your wing, or fin for that matter, I’d love to meet them, and I consider them a part of the family already. I’m sure your parents and brother would too, if it counts for anything. If you care about them, they’re family.

Come visit soon, Cousin. I miss you!

Love,

Cousin Skystar
