Eric got to know his savior better, she was an explorer in mountainous regions, and he coincidentally ended up falling into her temporary camp, her name already gave him obvious hints about her, Treasured Excellence, she must be a rich explorer, or what has aspirations to become rich, she is exploring the territories around a capital city called Canterlot, yes, Canterlot, similar to Camelot, but with a joke regarding horses, and the name of the lands that I am now is Equestria when he discovered about this information I almost couldn't keep my "mask", I think this country must be a sea of jokes regarding ponies and horses, she considers herself a Pony so he would avoid calling them a horse for the time being, he had to stay in bed for a few days, while Tresured kept looking after him, she had his complete gratitude, and he hated to keep someone in debt, but he didn't understand why she is treating him like this, every time he would talk to she, her voice would shaken and would trie to maintain a respectful posture to him, not that he cared, respect is hard to get and is good to fell, but it's strange, is it because he is an alicorn? what's the big deal about having a horn and wings?
He thought while doing push-ups in his temporary "room" waiting for his companion's return, he had already gotten used to his body, but his wings and horn, he didn't know how to use them, it was still strange to have them, he read a lot about magic in the books that Trasured carried with her, it was simple, but when he attempted to do, he never came up with anything, he needed a teacher, he should learn a little more of the kind he met to find a story of why he would just appear out of nowhere in midair...
However he cannot continue his thoughts, when steps broke the silence of the room, stopping his flexions he, got up and walked to a corner where was a towel that Tresured had left for him, entering the door was the same carrying a backpack and staying with a red tone when noticing Quantum shirtless, he was a very muscular stallion, he had gray fur, had red eyes, and had scars around his body, he was very... attractive..., she coughed to get his attention, interrupting the one that was drying his face, he had a harder time keeping clean with this fur, he looked at her while placing the towel between his shoulders.

"Hey Shield! I am back!, the snow is more swallow now, we can go"

She told him hiding her blush, he nooded and went to put his jacket, while putting it and grabbing his weapons and accessories and safe keeping them in his body.
He sighed, as he put his final accessory on her clothes, and walked towards her, staring down at her because of the difference in size, he should have grown a few inches from the transformation he went through, Tresured avoided eye contact and kept a hand on his face to hide her shame, that for Eric she was actually feeling uncomfortable for getting involved in his life, but he wanted to make a good impression, so he passed by her and walked out of the cave with her following him.
what drew the most attention was that he got a mark on his ass, yes, on the side of his butt, now he had a tattoo, Treasure had already seen the mark, the mark of the helmet arrow when he was in ranger mode, she already asked how I got it, I already foresaw that question, when he saw her mark, it was a mark of an open chest, and I asked how she got it, she explained that she won when she fell in a cave and discovered a hidden treasure, I then spoke as if I won based on when he actually became the Quantum ranger, when I discovered my morpher, he did not lie, but he didn’t completely tell the truth, when she asked to be able to use the morphador, he had left, when it didn't work, Quantum explained that it is an artifact that was designed to work only for him, not explaining the fact that it can only be triggered with his voice

"It is a difficult subject for me, I never had a 'home' you can say that I am a nomad, I always managed to be alone, I always avoided other pers-pony's, they always had everything and never realized the privilege of having everything had while I had nothing, so I went and traveled the world alone when I was little, I lost track of time... seeing you I realize that a lot has changed, I don't know what I missed from big events, but I always managed to do well alone, so I didn't care much."

The more she listened to the story as they walked the more she felt bad about Quantum, if he is being so tense about such obvious things he must have lived perhaps millennia alone, surviving in the mountains, if she hadn’t found him, he might have died, he seemed to look around with an awe, he should never have seen this place before, or he must have forgotten, she got her hands on her chest feeling bad for the told story

"I am so sorry Quantum, i didn't know, sorry for being rude with you, i tought you were simply playing dumb with me"

She would say in a sad tone as she held herself back from crying
Quantum would dismiss it with a wave of hand

"Relax, i have gotten a lot of time to overcome, sincerally, i am glad that i had a hard life, it made me stronger, it made me the stallion, that you see today"

"Shield... I know this is a touchy subject to you... but... where do you live...? You doesn't seem to know a lot about equestria in general, and any of our costumes... Buck, you even asked what was the big deal about being an Alicorn!"

While walking they had already left the forest, and came face to face with a huge city, it seemed that she was reflected with the sunlight, it was beautifull, as they passed through the gates he noticed the huge movement of the ponies in the streets from one side and the other, they were very similar to humans, they acted, traded, chatted like humans, they dressed like humans, but they were not, this brought a strange feeling to him, he saw guards in gold armor walking back and fourth, he noticed that each citizen either had wings, horn or neither of both, but none with wings and horn alike, so the alicorns are extinct..? are rare...? he didn't know, but he continued to follow Treasure who without him realizing, was literally a tour of the place, making him feel guilty, but he started paying attention as they walked towards what looked like the main castle, not noticing a dark figure watching them from afar.
