By the fire, they all sat. The decision was made - that Atreus would depart. He had to pave his own way. Make his own destiny. The path was his to forge, but he could no longer exist as a mere boy, who stuck to his father's side. It was time for him to grow.

But before he would, he needed closure.

After all, he knew next to nothing.

"I wanted to ask you guys something." Whispered the lad.

The first to turn her head to him was Twilight Sparkle - the woman that always took keen interest in his well-being, adopting a motherly role whenever she could...Especially when she at times had to stand up for him in his youth, when Kratos was particularly upset with him. She wore the armor of Fate Breaker - a mix of furs dyed red, leather, and armor. Her red eyeshadow contrasted with the red streak of her hair, which was once pink.

"Of course, Atreus. What's on your mind?" She whispered.

"..." The question was once first asked by Sunny Starscout, who anxiously sat in the corner, not too far away. Though the armor she wore was akin to Twilight's, she still looked young, and not as jaded as the others. It didn't fit her. Yet. She and Atreus made eye contact, and finally, he spoke.

"...Tell me when it all started...When...Father..."

"...Oh boy." Sighed the blonde woman as she rubbed her head. Applejack was not ready for this talk. She took her red petasus - a hat made of straw, with a wide brim - and held it to her chest. Her armor was similar to Twilight's, but without sleeves, displaying her massive biceps. "...This can a' worms really waited till the last day to open up, didn't it...?"

"He has the right to know, dear." Said Rarity, as she knitted and stitched some clothing for Atreus for his travel. She had finely drawn red eyeshadow, and her once purple hair had a warmer, more crimson tint. Her own version of the armor was covered with more fine furs, and decorated leather, but still held within it an animalistic anger. "I'm shocked that none of you extended your hand to tell him yourselves, by the way..."

"...Well, there's a lot of details that we'd rather skip out..." Squeaked Fluttershy, as she tended to a rabbit they had encountered on the road, healing its broken leg. Her red hair looked like a still waterfall of blood, and her red eyeshadow made her appear less kinder than she used to look. Her armor seemed a little, like a normal dress, making her appear almost innocent at first glance.

Atreus nodded surely. "...If i don't know it, then I do not know what legacy I aim to carry on. Please?" He begged.

"...Well." Rainbow Dash smirked. Her hair no longer had the spectrum - merely red all over. Her armor hugged her body tightly, allowing her to be more aerodynamic. "Believe it or not, but everything started when there was a time your dad wasn't a wild warrior, who knew how to kill monsters and Gods in the blink of an eye. Matter of fact, believe it or not...he started out as a little...more controlled, you could say."

"Yep." Pinkie giggled as she constructed a doll, using hay and dye. At some point in time, her hair appeared red under the right lighting. But now, it always looked as such. Her armor resembled that of a barbarian - asymmetrical. "Kratos didn't start out flailing his weapons left and right, you know. There was a time when he was a little bit calmer. Well, he's calm now, but, you know what I mean!"

At the fact that the story was about to unfold, Atreus and the students of the Mane Six immediately huddled together, eager to hear and listen to the story of Kratos. While Kratos was outside, they knew they had the time and the chance to discuss it., to give the boy the truth.

And so, Twilight softly nodded.

"It all began when Kratos refused to ever serve Ares again..."
