Hello

>>132853
Without having any actual idea where the fortress is located, Amber can tell that all she has to do is to walk south along the water. And do she does, passing warehouses, townhouses, shops, a large sectioned off brick building, and other assorted buildings. When the waterline becomes further away, Amber may walk down a road diagonal to her left, taking her past quaint apartments with shops on the lower level, past a school house and a clock tower. The road merged to another, and with another left turn, Amber knows she is going East, into the bay. On either side are shops, often nicer than the ones she has passed so far, before the left side is dominated by large buildings. First they are soft, white walled buildings approachable from the street, but then they are brick, and sectioned off by walls. It’s past this that Amber gets her first glimpse of what can only be a gunpowder age fortress - a large, concrete or stone fortress with large, triangular sections jutting our from a center in pattern.

I hope I know how to get back...
She's pleased by the pleasant aesthetic of the waterline but the large, harsh fortress is jarring, as things of war tend to be. Nonetheless, there is history in those wars and she trots forward, determined to find an entrance.

As Amber comes closer, she can notice a few things about the fort. The first is that the fort is located on an area of land that is lower, and closer to the water than everywhere else Amber has been. The second thing is the fortress is some sort of geometric shape, with squares jutting out from a central pentagonal (perhaps hexagonal?) shape. The shape continues outwards from the fort itself, with the land around the fort extending 50 or so feet and possessing the same shape, with concrete on the waterline. The walls of the fortress, which begin at an elevation below that of the town and only a few feet above the water, are angular, sloped stone, perhaps only 35 feet at the tallest. In the center of the fortress, Amber can see a flag flying atop a flag pole, admittedly not one she is familiar with.

She walks down a concrete staircase towards the fort, but there is indeed an open door. The door is iron, and not much larger than what you'd expect at a civilian institution.

"What an odd place, it looks easy to lose your bearings with all these sharp angles…" she mutters to herself.
Amber goes through the iron door and looks around as best she can.

Entering through the door, and Amber can see that the door seems to be cut through the stone, Amber sees a square shaped building of perhaps two stories in the center. The building is the same dull grey as the remainder of the fort, with a flag pole above it, and a few windows. On each side of the geometric walls, rooms and other structures are built into it, with flat roofs on top and a series of arches hanging over the entrances. Further away on one such roof top, is a railed off section and an instrument of war that looks a little out of place. There are several ponies around.

The pony is a black stallion, he answers:
"Oh this is Fort Flash Prance. They just opened it back up a couple weeks ago."

A small hallway that opens to several more doors, including a display case in one and beds in another. There is an old stallion in a full green uniform, with a beige cap. He stands up straight, wrinkled and old, with a hind leg that seems to be supported with a metal splint

He looks almost like a statue. And is his hat supposed to be mismatched? She deferentially approaches the venerable veteran and asks, "Hello, sir, do you work here?"

"A little bit about it? Ma'am, there are hundreds of years of history in these walls. This is Fort Flash Prance. A bastion or "star" fort built as Fort Flash Magnus under Governor Hoebuck to secure the outlet of the Delamare River into Horseshoe Bay, it's the location of Flash Prance's Last Stand against the Dragon Horde, and was bombarded by Griffons and Corsairs, among other history."

Amber blinks. "THIS is where the Last Stand took place? I'm sorry sir, I didn't realize." She looks around at the old masonry with a newfound reverence.

Amber mulls over these words a bit, then says, "I think I understand what you mean. We ought to celebrate such sacrifice from anypony, even if it is personally quite painful." She wears a sad yet strangely serene smile.

The unicorn steps out into the hall. From his white coat, it's clear that this pony is a physician of some kind. His eyes are wide, and he staggers as he moves out into the hall, then slightly back to the door well.

"Yes?" He says nervously
