"Fate what is fate? Fate is Irony. In the words of many Fate is but a cheater at cards"

The five of us walked into the bog. We walked calmly through the bog seeing bodies of Ghouls all over the ground. All the bodies seemed to lead into a large line to this cruise ship. How this cruise ship made it all the way out here makes no sense to me. But I have been told stranger things have happened in the wasteland. It was far... But when we got closer into the bog. It started to stink. I covered my nose and chuckled. "WHEW that is ripe."

Kip had a mask on her face to stop herself from smelling the funk. Softpaw put on a strange helm on it that has a filter on it. Then looked to shadow who was wearing a mask with tubes bypassing the air. Very old gear they had... But it seemed to work. Of course, Silver Gunner had no issues. SoftPaw gave me a helm that was meant for a pony. I put it on and then used it. Breathing in clean but the air was still pretty sicking. Looking around this helm blocked my hearing.

It took an hour or so. But we found the Cruise ship. It was a giant city that would normally be on the water. It seemed fully intact. Looking around seeing a bunch of dead ghouls all over. Some of them bloody and smashed. But this was strange and then I saw it. Stopping in my tracks. A ghoul... a griffin ghoul... Then I saw a donkey ghoul. A ghoul of all that would be on a cruise ship. They were dead from what I saw. But this was odd... Ghouls of different races other than ponies?

Getting closer none of the ghouls moved. But we noticed that the blanks were allowing us to get up there. It seems we were welcomed? Looking to the others and we nodded walking up the planks. Heading inside looking around. We are on the dock there is so much of this ship to see. So many treasures. Looking towards the others. Softly speaking no one could see my emotions or how I felt. But they could hear the command in my voice. "Alright, we all stick together. No separating. We need to clean this entire boat out." They all nod as we walked I looked to see the name of the cruise ship. It said Celestia's Pleasure Cruise.

We searched through lower deck first. Seeing more and more dead... Then I saw a strange purple mist but not pink. I swear it was mist. As I looked to the others. "Did you see that mist?" Softpaw looked to me through her mask. I didn't see her eyes. " Mist?" Then of course if it was fate. A large narwhal stuffed came down right in front of Softpaw stabbing into the ground. She jumped back and blinked. "Whoa..." Softpaw said breathing heavy and looked to me. Cocking the machine guns on on the spine tail. "Lets... go and I think we need to be careful." She said.

Silver Gunner opened a door and then a ghoul was standing there growling. Hearing the shotgun and the ghoul that Silver Gunner shot was a griffin ghoul. Looking back at him and nodded. "Let's make sure we clear the entire deck before we continue. Then we will go inside." Suddenly again if it was fate a stuffed shark landed on my head and fell getting knocked out.

0000
Inside the Ship

I woke up two hours later and it was just me... I still had all my gear. But it was just me. Then I turned seeing a ghoul in a suit. Grabbing a suitcase. Then turned and looked to me. It said. "Been waiting... for you.." Lifted the gun and fired killing the strangely suited ghoul. "No need for that." Looked around I couldn't find any of my friends. I rubbed the back of my head looking around. Calmly opening one of the doors. I looked around slowly walks through the halls. Seeing the many rooms of the odd cruise ship. Then heard a voice for an intercom. "Everyone this is the captain speaking. We have some pirates trying to steal from us. Take care of them and bring them to me. Don't harm them either."

Then if it was fate Silver gunner fell through the floor above me and landed right in front of me. Looking towards me and he started laughing. "That is one way to get to the bottom." Then suddenly the floor under him gave way and he fully went through the floor. "DAMN IT!!" The robot yelled. Giving a smirk and then walked on. I figured he would find me sooner or later. Looking through each door. This cruise ship was well kept. Looking over to where Silver gunner fell in and the hole was sealed up. Blinking going through the halls. I couldn't seem to find any of my friends. Looking into many door's seeing dead ghouls and some that just stared and growled.But left me alone.

I heard a scuffle and heard Softpaw grunting and punching the ghouls. They were speaking. "Stop that rat creature!!" They rushed after her. But I couldn't see them. "HELP!!" Kip yelled and there was a loud shot and she went silent. "Carry her to the captain." Then Shadow yelled. "LET HER GO!!" There was the sound of a hoof smashing into him. Then a body falling. "To the Captain."

Then I heard sounds of them fighting Silver Gunner and then he was giving them a lot of trouble. Then a voice. "Shut it down!!" Silver Gunner screamed as something blew his core for the moment and I heard him fall with a loud thud. "To the captain." Then I heard Softpaw scream and get shot by something hearing her body fall. Now it was just me. I kept walking through the cruise ship hearing hoof steps and many steps around me. None of the sounds of normal brain dead ghouls.

A voice came over the intercom again. "This is your captain speaking. We must destroy the Zebra fools. Bring their minions to us. This group of infiltrators have a leader. Find them bring them to me. IN the name of Luna." Grabbing my sword and my pistol hearing steps from all around. Hearing voices. I went through the area that would be meant as the buffet area. That had a dance floor. Everything seems to be working. Then a shot rang out and I rushed behind the Dj booth. I started firing back. One of the bullets turned off the lights and then a bunch of lasers and the dance floor started glowing brightly and music started playing heavy dance music. I Yelled through the music. "FIGHT ME LIKE A REAL WARRIOR!!" The ghouls dropped their guns and held melee weapons grabbing my sword and turning on the fire.

The lights flashing making it look like we were dancing as we fought. Each flash made it like a small slow motion battle. With the dance music in the background. The music getting louder and looking towards the DJ booth it was working on its own. I kept kicking the ghouls back. But more kept coming bringing out melee weapons. The battle was odd. It seemed like an endless battle. I fought all that came after me. The lights going in and out to the music. Backing off out of the dance floor the music still blaring and the ghouls charging after me and we got into another dance battle fight. My sword swinging and parrying. Then making a few of the weapons that tried to hit me fly out of the magic hooves clawed hands into the DJ stand and shorting it out. The room going back to normal. The lights fully turn on and I looked down seeing knocked out ghouls.

I head large hoof steps behind me. Turning around I saw a large creature towering me. A minotaur a ghoul. He looked like every other ghoul. But he was pretty much intact and he spoke loudly. "Come with me... Zebra spy or I shall bring the metal on you!!" Gulping I felt my armor pants getting warm and a bit wet. Looking up and thought to myself. Holy goddess... what did this thing eat? Jumping out of the way as he smashed the ground with his fist. The ground healing itself. As the large creature charged after me. The stomping making it harder to run. He smashed me into the wall and then grabbed me tossing me to the chairs and smashing into a table. Feeling burning pain in my body. "Ow...." Slowly standing searching my blade. Putting up my fist in a warrior's stance. Of course, I was fully outmatched.

Rushing into punch him getting a few hits in... Then he grabbed my fist and smirked darkly and then tossed me into another wall. Then charging into me getting out of the way as his horns lodged into the wall. Panting hard my tongue hanging out. Pain screaming through my body. " Ha stay there you." Then suddenly a punch from the trapped creature hit me and I flew into the Dj table shattering it. Slowly standing and growls in pain. "Damn it." The large minotaur ghoul broke free and stared at me. "The train is coming to you, brother!!" He charged and stepped aside a moment. Then charging to hit me hard and I flew into the wall again.

Growling softly breaking off from the wall. Panting so much pain flowing through my body. How I was still standing made no sense to me. But I did what must be done. "COME AT ME!!" I yelled charging at the large bull-like creature and we smashed into each other grabbing each other and fought hard. He didn't hurt at all but I did. But I backed off and did a kick to his face. He fell back and then got back up punching through my armour and hit my stomach. "DAMN IT!!" He then tossed me into the floor and stomped on me over and over and then finally I passed out...

Day 19: Cruise Ship

Opened my eye's I was strapped to the wall on the bridge looking for my friends... In front of me was a lanky unicorn mare ghoul. She was tall I saw a purple-like mane that was left and a long horn, She was in a military uniform a large sword on her side. Her hooves on a strange wheel on moving it like she was on the water. "You're awake." The female ghoul said. Turning around to show her yellow eyes. Now before I send you to Ministry of moral to clean those evil thoughts from your mind. Why are you on my ship zebra spy?" Looking around not even seeing my friends. " What did you do with my friends?" The ghoul gave a smile. " Hmmm, they're being punished for being spies." I finally heard the sound of whips and screaming. "They aren't spies the war ended 200 years ago!!" The ghoul gave a dark chuckle. "Just like a Zebra would say." The mare smirked and with her horn she untied me. Stabbing my sword in front of me. "Take it... Zebra spy and fight me. Prove your truth in a duel."

Standing up grabbing the sword and turning on the blow torch connected to the sword. Getting ready to fight. " don't wish to fight you but... the war has been over... For that long." Slowly standing holding my sword and the two of us ready to battle. Hearing the whips hitting my friends. Hearing them ripping Silver Gunner apart. All I could feel was my rage... But I need to calm my rage. Holding the sword tightly waiting for this mare to strike. Our swords hit together. As we fought like two warriors met in a spar. "You have to see the war is over. The world is dead. Look outside just look!!" The mare gave a smile showing her teeth. Her ghouled hooves stomping around as the sword's made whooshing sounds in the air.

"Many that come here... say that. But none of them are strong enough to prove this. Your friends will be punished for being zebra spy's child. The world of Equestria needs to be at peace. I will do this no matter what. My cruise ship... a way to keep the enemies in prison Griffin's, Zebra's, Donkey's, Mules, and ponies as well. All must be held as traitor's." My eyes softly glow trying to ignore my rage hearing the whips harming my friends. Hearing them ripping Silver apart. I had to control my rage. Looking back on my training at home. Always told never fight in rage. Relax and watch their steps.

Looking to see all way's in blocked by Griffins and that Minotaur that attacked me. "The war is over damn it." Charging making the ghoul unicorn use her magic to toss me out of the window. With a smash, I flew outside onto the deck below landing with a thumb. Then the ghoul jumped down. "You will fail." It started to look like it was going to rain. Standing up quickly and blocked the blade from trying to hit me. Rain started to fall and lightning ran through the air. "Look at it!!" Pointing to the dead world beyond the cruise ship. The mare looked to the wasteland and then back to me. "Zebra illusions."

My eyes went wide. This hatred has been going on for years. The mare charging after me our sword battle becoming more wilder. Sparks forming from our blades. They gathered on the deck of the ship. Some of it burned and slowly stopped. My blade glowed and hissed from the rain. "Listen you crazy mare. The war has been over for 200 years...Both sides lost... The world is fucking dead!!" Growling showing my sharp teeth full of anger. "You worthless ponies killed yourselves!!" Charging in a rage the mare couldn't block quick enough and hit her back. She stayed right on her hooves. Then smiled. "Hmm good a spy that know's how to fight." Using her magic to make her uniform fit correctly. Growling softly and our swords clashed again. I watched the other ghouls coming to watch. " I am not... a zebra spy!!" Said as I swung around kicking the mare in the face. She stood there seeming not to be harmed. Something was making these ghouls stronger or I never fought one with a mind. Finally charged and the two of us fell off the entire cruise ship and we hit the ground with a thump. Both of us standing up but of course I broke my ribs. Staring at the mare. She smiled ichor falling from a wound. "Good try spy." Then we fought back up the plank and fought up there.

I was panting and growling softly. " Listen mare... something is going on with you. No ghoul should be this blind!!" The mare smiled and lifted her sword again. The magic from her glowing on the blade. Soft pants coming from my mouth holding onto my blade. Looking at all the ghouls and they cheered for the mare. Shouting her name. "Fleur Fleur!" The mare smiled seeming to have no issue at dancing around me with her sword. She sliced my bare arm and I growled in pain holding the wound. "Getting tired Zebra spy?" Anger filling me and then I heard Kip's scream she was sobbing hard. Looking towards the way in. "I will stop their pain if you say you're a Zebra spy. Then we can get back to Cantorlot and find a way... To end this war." Then I heard my friends other than Silver Gunner. "Don't let her win... Tiria... She will kill you." They all screamed.

Panting looking back to the mare. "Listen again, look at me. Do I look like a zebra or something a zebra would hire to spy? Look at me closely... I am not a creature made by the Zebra's." The battle stopped a moment and looking to the others. Then I saw that mist again. It went into Fleur and she smiled. "You're a Zebra spy you fool!!" Growling softly enough of this I thought I charged getting stabbed by the blade fully not caring and forced... Her down punching hard in her face over and over. I saw her bleeding and it was that black mist. It seeped away and floated off to nowhere. Stood up after noticed the ghouls seeing the wasteland and they gasped. Looks down to Fleur who stood up and gasped to seeing her former land. "Yes... that's the best way... punch the evil out... Yay." I fell on my back and passed out.

Day: 20 Cruise ship.

My eyes opened up and Kip was laying beside me I was on a bed she was on the floor. She had a lot of sealing wounds... I felt sick... Looking at my chest seeing where the sword went in. My armour is off closing my eyes feeling so much pain. Tried to sit up and gasped and felt some strange burning in my body. Was that sword poisoned growling in pain? But laying there, I felt so much pain coursing through my body. I could hear talking. "Fleur..there is no answer to anypony. It seems the entire world is dead. I sent one of our griffin's out... They found some area's that ponies are in... But I doubt we would be welcomed." Fleur sighed. "We will stay here then and give ponies a place to rest when they come. I doubt we can do anything else but stay here." Another one of her crew member's spoke. "What about the wolf creature and her friends?" Fleur sighed. "Let them rest... that wolf creature almost died trying to get us to wake up. All our families of the past dead." Groaning softly and tried to sit up again. I fell back onto the bed and moans in pain. "Ow..."

Kip stood up and smiled using her magic to help heal my wounds a bit. Re-doing the wrapping on my bandages. Then walked out of the room and Kip walked off to find Shadow who was apparently putting Silver Gunner back together. I heard Shadow joking apparently holding Silver gunner's head. "OH Silver Gunner I knew him well." Hearing an angry voice from him. "ENOUGH put my damn head back on my body!" Shadow laughed and he was working on fixing the poor robot. "I am trying Silver. Oh hello, Kip." Kip Giggled and the two were close. She treated Shadow like her brother.

Before I could pass out. I heard another voice. "Fleur... I wish to follow them." All I could do was listen and not move. I heard Softpaw and she spoke to the creature. "We need more fellows to work with us. I am sure when Tiria wakes up and starts moving she will agree for you to come. Even if you're the one that beat the shit out of her." I heard a loud laugh and snort. " It... was not really my intent... But whatever was controlling me... It wanted me to smash her." Softpaw chuckled and smiled. "So do you have a name?" Hearing the Minotaur's name. "I am little hoof." Blinking, I laughed loudly groaning in pain. "Little hoof. HA HA... OW!" I said groaning. Fleur came in calmly sat down and sighed.

"I am sorry about hurting you miss Tiria... But there is something you should know where you are heading. It's a prisoner of war camp. It was used to hold Zebras that were captured during the war. Even If I have lost 200 years of my life having no idea... How my cruise ship got here. I can warn you... if any lived... Some of the most dangerous criminals are there." Nodding and groaning sitting up. "Are you going to be alright miss Fleur, knowing that... your world is long dead?"

The unicorn mare looked up to me nodding with sadness in her eyes. "I was hoping Fancy would have come with me. But I knew this war would end..with a lot of pain and death. I had to get away from it. So I made this cruise ship for everyone... To get away from the war for a year. Then I saw a flash and you woke me up." Sighing gave her a gentle smile. "I want you to go to the Reaper fields not far from here and you will see a guard... That is a rat. Tell them you're a friend of mine... and get in contact with king Cannon ball." Fleur looked at me like I was odd saying that name. "Alright... If it is a way... to become part of this wasteland. Then I shall do that." Before she left I asked. "Did you really think zebras were evil?" Fleur turned looking back at me and sighed. "I used to be part of the elite in Cantorlot we thought everything was evil. I got into an awful fight with Fancypants before the war fully started. I wished to get away from it. So I was trained to run a cruise ship. I allowed all races on the ship. I didn't care how the government felt." She said with an angry look on her rotted face.

Kip had gathered all our gear and she... Got food and supplies from the ghouls. But they didn't wish me to leave that bed yet. Apparently, that poison was going to make my entire body burn and hurt for awhile. Laying on the bed. Keeping my eyes closed. Hearing my friends speak to the ghouls of the past. The gruff female voice of Softpaw was laughing. "I am sure you will like this new world. But some of the ponies are crazy of this world." Silver Gunner is sitting in the doorway on his metal haunches guarding me. Closing my eyes again and growled gently. So much pain in my system. Kip was trotting around gathering what she could. Shadow was helping her as they were laughing and becoming closer friends. The pain in my body was getting worse...I felt like everything was burning from this. groaning feeling a metal hoof on my shoulder. " Relax Tiria... accept friendship in your heart and maybe..you will heal sooner." I nodded and hearing the heavy steps again. Looking at the ghoul Minotaur. He smiled and brought me some food and helped me eat. "Eat miss Tiria... Again I am sorry." Nods calmly closing my eyes and eating the soup he gave me. Then I feel asleep.

Day Unknown: Fate

Opening my eye's it seems I was in a place of darkness. The ghoul I killed back during the start of my journey. He smiled at me and laughs. "Well well miss Tiria. You sure have had an interesting journey. Oh and yes... I ain't dead... But I ain't in Equestria anymore... I am allowed to speak to you for this moment. You will understand in time. All you need to find is the unicorn with the eye of the moon. But that will be later on your journey my dear. Then your fate will be said." He gave me an evil smile. Then he spoke again. "Have you ever thought destroying all the old magic... of the past? That something must be hidden in it? Discord may be gone of course. But there are enemies way before Equestria was even founded... Ones that the ponies of old jailed... You will meet them in time." Blinking I thought to myself. Enemies before Equestria was founded?

"What do you mean this is my fate?" The ghoul laughed softly shaking his head. "This is the fate of all those that fight in the wasteland. Every soul that fight's their own battle's breaking each magic barrier that holds them in place. One has already made it out... You have seen them. Again you will meet them in time." Blinking. "But why would they bother me. I am not even a fucking hero!!" The ghoul chuckles.

"Because Miss Tiria your heading to their domain. You will see what I mean soon. When you wake up you won't remember any of this. So wake up Tiria... wake up and worry when the time is right."

Day: 21: Cruise ship

Opened my eyes and looked beside me seeing Kip sleeping. It seemed late still. Getting up and walking towards the outside deck. Seeing Silver Gunner speaking to Fleur. They both turned to me and waved then going back to speaking. I sighed and went to the edge of the deck. Looking at the wasteland. Seeing that the bog is bubbling and causing more nasty smells. Looking up to the clouds... Seeing only those. This world is so empty. I had a dream I don't remember why... But I will be heading to something that scares me to death. I noticed the strange mist again that just hovered there watching me a moment. Then heading to the spot we will be heading in. Sighing and looks towards the crew... They seem to be taking supplies and making a wall around the ship. From what I was told they also had a lot of cargo. Just in case leaks happen. Went to head back to bed and looked to Fleur who came up to me and I smiled gently. "Feeling alright hmm?" I asked

Fleur nodded calmly and looked to Silver Gunner who helped the crew with their work. Looking back to Fleur. "I do warn you... There are many ponies of this world that... will try to kill you... Just because you're ghouls. Be ready for that." Fleur frowned and nodded looking towards the wasteland. Seeing Cantorlot and her eyes fill with tears. "The princess everyone I knew... My home my family..." Sighs looking down and I left letting Fleur to think about everything. Getting back into the bed and looked down to Kip who... Seemed to stick near me... Because I was the most hurt one at the time. Closing my eyes and then had another dream...

The dream was from the past. I was one of the ponies in the fields. Looking for my brothers and sisters of battle. Seeing that all of them are bones. Looking towards the field outside... All the ponies are dead. They all turned to look at me. Blinking the leader of the tank I was in turned into the ghoul. "FIRE FIRE!!!" He laughed. "Ah, I told you Tiria... I would be in your mind still. Oh, the jokes I can play on you. Oh, the darkness of your mind. I have seen your dream, your past. You aren't worth the time you have lied to many. But you proved to me... You wish to see the endless war to end. The war will end... when the Lightbringer does what she does. But you will be left forever in the darkness of your choices." The bones just stared at me. As the ghoul laughed talking to me more. "War is so much fun ain't it? Heh heh heh."

Then the ghoul got more dark. As the battlefield vanished and he stared at me. "Now let's ignore the fun and explain. Listen every time you dream you will see me... Haunting you telling you how much you failed. I'm sorry to say but killing me was an awful idea." He smirks showing his yellow teeth. "All idea's of killing will lead me to showing up into your mind more and more." Staring at the ghoul my eyes glowing angrily. Why was I going to be cursed with someone I killed. Am I meant to deal with this one forever? Then he was in a strange brown cloak with a hat and then puts cards down. " Anti... Oh, wait that's some other mares problem OOPS!!" The ghoul laughs the jacket and cloak vanishing. "OH, your mind is so easy. I can be... anything... But I shall be kind this time. Ahem, you refused to kill the ghouls... You respected the fact... That they're lost in time... Its the past and fate." The ghoul chuckles turning back to the darkness and then rushing towards me and forced me into a tree his anger growing.

"Listen here Tiria... this is your own mind your own thoughts... You're the one bringing me to light. If you would let go..." Ice started floating around the two of us and he growled. "NO NO. Anyway now listen wake up.. and stop being such a wet blanket and accept that you killed!! These creatures will be fought in the future... You aren't strong enough to fight them."

The ghoul brought up his hoof and slapped me in the face hard. "WAKE UP!!"

Opened my eyes sitting up and groaned Kip staring at me and smiled. "Ah, sleeping beauty is awake..." She said laughing softly and nuzzled into my arm and with her magic... Gave me a bowl of meat. "We will be leaving soon." Nodding calmly eating. While Kip left and she was carrying my bags sword armor and everything else to the deck. Shadow followed behind her carrying his stuff. Looking towards me and waves with one of his claws. It was time to go it seems. Stood up and sighed softly heading out to the deck taking the bowl. Offering it back to Kip. Grabbing my armor and put the armor back on gathering my bags and looked to the others. "Before we fully get to the spot we are going. We need to walk through the bog. So be ready for pain."

Looked to Shadow and smiled. "Shadow how big is this place we are going to?" Shadow looked towards me and smiled. "It's a former Prisoner of war camp. Wheeltread has been living for almost 100 years. He built an entire city under it. Using slaves and workers. It's a big city. How he lives that long we have no clue. But his body is failing. He is using some strange magic to keep himself alive. He no longer has hooves. What is left there are four wheels. His body is still flesh but... His heart was removed. He is trying to find way's to live forever. But we have found a stable down there. Some of the parts of the city... Are parts of the old camp. It was made to be underground... for a time. But we have no idea what the stable is for. But after many years. He built the city... and in the middle of the city has a market of slaves... weapons food and arena. It's used to train and to pass judgement. You will be going there to prove your worth as his bodyguard."

Blinking glaring at Shadow. "You failed to tell me that you know. Will I be in that alone?" Shadow nods. "You need to prove your strong and ready to fight. But also you're my friend Tiria... I will put in a good word for you... Before the battle happens."

Fleur came up to me with a holotape in her mouth setting it down in front of me. "Please listen to that... You will understand... Why I hated the six mares. Why I refused to allow them to use my ship as a prison." I nodded and connected it to my pip-buck and started to listen as the others around me got ready to leave.

There were some angry sounds of ponies shouting and then I heard a soft voice. "Fleur de Lis . You will let us take a look at all non-ponies in your cruise ship. Now let us question all the Zebra's you have on board along with the non-ponies." The sound of a very angry mare. Speaking back. "Twilight I told you before along with Fancy. I will not let allow this war to cause more harm to everyone else. Now get your Pink friend away from my ship. I will not let her minions and dogs harm anyone!!" The sound of a very pink mare. "BUT BUT there are enemies on the cruise ship!! You must let us see them you must!!!" Fleur snorted. "NO!! Little Hoof cast us off. I will say this now... This war will not end well and you six along with the princess will be at fault. Remember my words YOU WILL BE AT FAULT!!!" The recording ended.

Blinked looking to Fleur. "You betrayed them?" Fleur nodded. "I had enough so... I gathered all kinds of supplies. Then we were going to live on the water till we hear that the war was going to end. But as I see they failed. I don't care for those six mare's Fluttershy is the only one I liked. So I may have blamed her as well for this." Nods and smiles. "So these six mare's were part of your government in the past?" Fleur nodded. "Take care." I said waving and Little hoof had gathered everything. For a ghoul, of course, he needed no food. But Silver Gunner sat in front of us and didn't let us leave and looked up to us.

"Before we fully leave. My question to you all... But I already know Kip's answer. What is the core value of friendship?" Blinking I looked to Shadow, Kip, Softpaw, and Littlehoof. The ghoul spoke out. "In the past friendship meant many things. The value of friendship to my kind in the past... Was chaos... But after meeting Fleur and she saved my life. Loyalty." He said. Then Shadow spoke out. "Friendship is to protect those close to you. Never let them come to harm and protect them... Because you promised their husband you would." Kip gave a sweet smile to Shadow. "Awww Shadow your so cute... little brother." Shadow chuckles it seems the two have turned into like siblings. Then they all looked at me. Silver saying it again.

"What is the core values of friendship?" He asked again in his soft monotone voice. Thinking a moment and looked to my new friends. I was told by my elder... To find friends live become what you are meant to be. I softly felt poetic and started to speak. "Friendship is the core of this world. It brings the magic to the heart of all... That wish to accept it. Even if this world is dead and gone... We need to gather the heart's that tell our stories. The stories of all around us. It is written in the book that is written by the pen of the writer of our lives. Without the writer of our fate. We shall never become empty." Silver nodded. "Good enough." He said and stood up letting us all go. The ghouls waved us on. As we headed towards our way to our full journey. What will we find? Will the journey end? Will it just start? No one knows really. But we will do what we can..to help save this land...
