"Still shaken... But I figure that's what it's like for the stallions who go off to war as well"

Going down the roads, it's much the same as what he saw coming it. Half lit streets of dark stretches, rats scurrying about between overloaded garbage cans, individuals, mostly griffins and zebras, swaying in drunkenness, or travelling in loud and rowdy groups. Trees that look as if they were dead in the leafless winter, and brown grass that looks much the same. Townhouses and sometimes less pleasing brick tenement buildings of a style popular 40 years ago. Building still partly collapsed in from the war and never completed. Little black and red flags hanging in the windows. It's a fullmoon out

"Downstairs"
Dark Star is escorted by Parade Pass down the steps, out through the double front doors of the administrative building to the street. An Ambulance being loaded, four police carts, and an idling diesel truck - a military logistics truck, like the one they rode in after the work on the docks.

"Good luck...

My son prefers the old Equestrian rule, saying they are more open to other creatures and will guard Harmony. There are things I do not like about these 'Black Hooves.' They pander to the workers with programs, they can be intolerant and despotic. But they do have one great virtue. They are jealous of power. They will guard it, and share it only with great reluctance, unlike the old princesses, who had good intentions, but were naive. I've seen how the Shah back in my country compromised with the reformists, and how it was our undoing. My son has not seen this, so he does not know. But I have, and that is why I disagree with him. May Mazda be with you."

As Silver walks further down Horseman Avenue, he walks past a few factories, but mostly shops, tenements, rowhouses, or shops with apartments on the upper floors. While there are buildings with clear damage from artillery through out the city, it is more common here to see a damaged building than else where. As he goes down further, he starts to see a few more lights on in the shops down stairs. There are burglar bars on the windows replacing the red and black flags from earlier. And there are pony stallions on the streets, who stare at passers by. Just two now, but still it is noticable

Silver turns onto a new street, with a cobble road, and gas street lights. Mostly shops on the first floor with two floors of apartments with small balconies and brick walls. There are burglar bars on the windows, and again, a couple stallions on the street. Further down the street becomes wide as there is what looks almost like a town square with a market of wooden stalls, closed down for the night, in the center, and what looks like a church and a school house around it. Further down still, past the market are a few much older looking buildings with jettying over the street and white wash walls. At a couple points, alleys that branch off are covered by corrugated steel panels that block the path, and a few garden plots, planted in vegetables, are behind thick fences.

"Here we are. Little Skynavia. We are on a little that pushes out a little into the harbor, between Red Heart and Locust Promontory."

"Yes?" she walks up, her hooves making a definite clopping sound

Glistening Glass leans over onto the bar, and says to her:
"Are you Meadows?"
"Yes, I am"
"You're a big mare"
"For you, maybe. But I am a horse from Karkadannistan"

"Well I know his parents will be eager to see him."

Loputu:
"My house is over this way"

>>125999
Meadows looks at him
"Oh"
She moves her muzzle down even as her steel grey eyes stay on him, and she makes a little smile
"I am sorry, but I do not drink. I appreciate the offer, though"
She smiles at Dark Star

The stallion goes out in front, followed by Loputu
"This way." They go just a little past the town square, past a building that looks like a church with reddish walls and a red tile pyramid ontop of a tower, and to a big, corrugated door
"Let me just"
He pulls out a key chain, and unlocks a lock on the edge of the door. click, and he slides it aside. It opens to a little alley that's dirt but kind of clean with some grass on it, into a central common area that includes a few grass areas with some toys, but also garden plots with tomatoes and cabbages.
"This way"
Loputu takes the lead as they go through the center of the the plot, at most an acre and a half surrounded by tan stucco buildings of two and three stories, down a dirt trail between raised beds of vegatables, until they get to an alley on the other side. There is a small road on the other side of this alley, with a line of buildings that look mostly like single houses, and further to the right is what seems like a larger, almost warehouse like building. Silver can smell salt and fish, and through gaps in the houses there he can see what seems to be the harbor bay on the other side of the houses. But Loputu goes down just a few feet on the left, to an opening on a building that was a part of the apartment block around the garden plot, just on the other side.

They go up a set of external stairs, made of wood, up to a landing on the second level. Silver can't quite see over the houses, but there is nothing beyond them, just the clear, full moon night.

Loputu knocks on the door. Then Talve knocks
"Open up!"

She smiles at him, and for the first time, her long, slender horn lights up a blue-grey, letting the key hover in the grip of the blue-grey aura. She smiles at Dark Star. "Thank you, again. And thank you for rescuing me. I know it could have ended so much worse... I didn't think I would get out of that shell at all. But here I am, because of you"

>>126004
A big, blue stallion opens the door
"What is it, it's 2 in the morning, what could you possibly need me for?"
He has a black mane, and a big, muscular build. His yellow eyes focus on Loputu, and he is astonished. Then he rushes forward and squeaky hugs Loputu
"Little Loputu! Where have you been? I though I would never see you again!" He hugs him more, then turns his head back and yells into the apartment
"Soe! Loputu is back!"

Silver smiles at the father reuniting with his son.

"Your son was foalnapped by griffons operating out of 33 Hoebuck. I was part of group that raided that building, and rescued him. He helped us rescue other people they had captured. You have raised very strong, very brave stallion."

He looks up
"There were Griffins?"
A new mare comes outside, kind of angry. She is also a little big
'What is going on, why you wake me up at this hour-"
She, too, pauses for a moment, before seeing Loputu
"You're alive! What happened to you?"
The stallion responds
"This stallion here says he was foalnapped by griffins"

"Well what were you doing to get yourself foalnapped?" she yells at Loputu, and then slaps him with a hoof "Ow!"

But then she comes in, and hugs him
"I was so worried about you"

>>126007
"Well, I am not entirely a pony"
She tilts her head down while looking at him, as if she is looking up at him
"But you are kind and I am grateful"

"Your son has grown up to be very respectable stallion. Yes, there are griffons that operate-or, 'used to' would be more appropriate, now-out of 33 Hoebuck, capturing local ponies to put into slavery or...worse."

"Griffin slavers?" She says, with horror
"Such terrible things! How can I raise foals in this place if there are griffin slavers"

Loputu:
"Mom, he said 'used to be.' He killed them all"

"He did what?"
"Yeah, he killed them all"
"Well, it serves them right. And you're banned from venturing out beyond the streetlights from now on"
"Mom! I'm almost old enough to join the overseas"
"And you're not going there either. You are staying safe right here"

She smiles back
"We Karkadanns have a long and proud history and culture independent of Equestria... But I suppose you mean well by that statement"

Silver shakes his head to himself.

"With all due respect, ma'am, as parent myself, this is not on your son. It is not his fault. Punishing him like this will not save him, much less help him."

"What do you want to know about it? It is hard to explain in words, when a culture is something you live in, immerse yourself in, like air, or water, all around you. So much of it, you have to see. The rectangular designs of columns and square walls covered in intricate patterns of blue and white on the old aristocratic houses... like my old family house. The trees on my old plantation, harvested in in the autumn by laborers from the village. The big, free standing columns of the Shah's palace ending in rounded marble tear drops. And the ever-burning goblets of Atar, or fire, at the center of the Fire Temples

>>126012
She looks back at him in astonishment
"What..."
The stallion butts in
"We are very glad to have him back alive. Thank you for bringing him back to us"
