In the North, Spark has encountered a new tribe of creatures, who are eager to take him as an emissary between cultures. In the south, Iron sleeps off his wounds, with dreams of a new life for himself and a certain zebra. Silver tries to settle in those he saved from the cultists into their own lives. Fantasy play establishes herself in Baltimare, and she too, has encountered cultures unknown to her before. As they all search for normalcy, it remains to be seen just what dangers await beyond the horizon

"I've never really known what I wanted" He looks away
"When I was small, I wanted to fit in with the ponies... it didn't quite work. I think my parents wanted me to stay in the Kaftar way, but we couldn't really do that either"

He places a paw on a bedsheet
"My parents were mostly neutral towards ponies... but they soured over time. The gnolls back at the place did not like ponies. Thought of them as weak and feminine. They respected them more than they did Zebras. Much better than they did Zebras... But they did not think highly of ponies..."

The Dark wolf rolls over, and stands up, as does the White wolf

The older wolf he is talking to looks over to the dark wolf
"I believe you have already met Makade. He leads our hunting parties and patrols."
The dark wolf, Makade, bows his head towards the chief

"As you heard Makade say, my name is Ziibe, and I am chieftain of the Zagaskway band of the Ma'iingan. I have met your kind before and dealt with them many times, as have all of my close advisers."
He looks over to his side, towards the lighter wolf with swelling who has his eyes open towards Spark, and who has not stood up or rolled over at any point
"This is Miskobag, our Mide Priest. He has some experience with ponies as well."
He looks over to the female white wolf, whose eyes do not make contact with him but rather lazily look over to the right, as if in disinterest
"This is Waabishki, my eldest daughter. She is studying under Miskobag to become our next Mide."
The white wolf, Waabishki, looks up to him, and stands up
"She too, has studied with you ponies."

Mala looks away for a moment
"Well, they are an old enemy in the homeland of the Gnoll Dervishes...
He lowers his voice to a whisper
"They were thought of as slaves, or food..."

There's a sort of lethargy to him as he lays there, with noticeable rises and lowering in his chest as he breathes heavily. But he raises his head towards Spark, and looks at him with big brown eyes. For a moment it seems like he will not speak to Spark, as he lays there and wheezes. But then he speaks to Spark
"I am the Midewinini. I commune with the Mystery, and the Mystical"
His voice is at once deep and rather hoarse. He wheezes.
"I lead the pack in their spiritual element, and teach them of history. I am also supposed to be a healer..."
He lays his head down

"Mohlokemeli would argue with them. She did this more than once. Mohlabani would be snarky, or rude sometimes. Rêwîtiyek would talk badly about them on occassion when they were not around, and told one of them off one time that was very memorable. But there was never a fight, if that is what you mean. No."

The chests range from simple to more elegant patterns, mostly featuring cultural scenes from various locations, mostly in the Equestrian southeast. Mage Meadow Brooke features prominently on a nearby one, collecting honey from bees, and Daring Doo swinging on a vine

Silver croutches down to look at the Daring Do one, muttering to himself: "Never understood appeal...is nothing like actual adventuring..."

He looks over at Mala.

"Well, bedspreads and pillows would be good ideas. What about things like toothbrushes or other personal items?"

"I am not sure how much more there is to tell, besides reciting stories I heard. In ancient times, ponies of extraordinary skill and ability would gather together to explore unknown lands and put down monsters or bandits that threatened ponykind. With might and magic, sword and spell, they faced challenges and fought beasts like of which are stuff of legend. They gathered great piles of artifacts and gold, and returned home to be greated by fanfare and applause by townponies."

Silver considers this for a few seconds, rubbing a hoof under his chin. When he stops, he offers a hoof to shake to Mala, and smiles at him.

Mala again lights up, smiling with his slightly yellowed, and partly broken yet still somewhat menacing set of teeth. He takes a moment, but raises his right paw to Silver’s hoof, and tries to shake hold it. He doesn’t seem to know what to do, at first just holding his hoof, then shaking and failing to match Silver’s rhythm, never holding with a firm grip. His pads are large and soft, almost strangely soft. He has long claws that don’t seem to retract, and have been filed down to dull ends
