Again, a bit of a short one, but we're coming near the end. After this, three chapters!

The next day, she was released from the hospital and was currently affixing her armor. Like at the meeting with Zebrica and Griffonia, she had been enlisted to act as a translator for the Caesar. Her armor was heavily damaged, so she was just wearing her subarmalis with her helmet, medals, and weapons. After saying goodbye to her family, she flew off towards the castle, where the meeting would be held.

Partially due to her Sonic Rainboom and partially due to magic, the chitin that once covered the palace was mostly gone. Even as she flew in one of the holes, she saw some of the Changeling prisoners chipped away at the remaining chitin while under watch by Griffonian soldiers. The halls were mostly free of the black stuff, and some ponies were cleaning up the rubble and other broken bits.

As she walked, she was suddenly tackled from behind. Instinct and training took over, and she flared her wings, throwing off her assailant and drew a sword. As she whipped around, she was greeted with a sniveling, crying Pinkie Pie. She choked out, "P-please, Dashie! I-"

"Shut up", Rainbow growled. "Do that again, and I won't hesitate to send you to Tartarus." She sheathed her sword, turned on her hooves, and trotted off. Pinkie cried behind her, deliriously spewing out what sounded like 'I love you; Please; Don't leave me'. Rainbow snorted, then continued heading towards the meeting room.

Finally, she arrived outside of the place the meeting would be taking place. Two Pryhan Pedes awaited outside of the door, who saluted and said, "Ave, Praetor!" as she approached.

"Ave, Pedes," she replied, also saluting. She then recalled Pinkies breakdown and didn't want to deal with that. "You know of the Element bearers, yes?" When they nodded, she said, "Under no circumstances are you to let them in. The only ones who can let them in are myself and Princess Luna."

She pushed past them into the room, which was the room the Gala was in when she went. A table had been set up, with multiple chairs pulled up around it. Each one had a delegate from each of the nations involved in this conflict. Prince Rutherford of Yakyakistan. Gilda, who nodded at Rainbow as she entered. Chief Thunderhooves of the Buffalo. Caliph Haakim of Saddle Arabia. Dragonlord Spike, with his wing around a tall, dark blue dragoness. Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire. Pharynx, who was the de facto head of the Changeling Hive. And, of course, Caesar Diocletian of the Pryhan Empire, who Rainbow pulled up a seat and sat next to.

"Welcome, Rainbow Dash. With you here, we can finally begin", Princess Luna said. "Now, before we get too far into-"

"Wait", Gilda said. "All due respect, Princess. But, well, where is your sister?" The other leaders mumbled their agreement.

"The Caesar voices his agreement for Queen Gilda", Rainbow translated. "He was eager to meet her, especially regarding the circumstances from which she and Pryha once interacted."

"My sister is, er, recovering from wounds she sustained before her capture at the hands of Queen Chrysalis. She regrets being unable to come to this meeting, yet has given me permission to handle things", she said. Rainbow had a feeling that wasn't the whole story but decided to leave well enough alone. "Now, back to business."

Like with the Griffonians and Zebricans, she didn't pay too much attention to what they said. Mostly, like then, she just said in Equish what the Caesar said in Demosian. However, she did pay enough attention to understand what they said.

First things first, they went over the costs of the conflict and the amount of dead. On the Coalition side, there were actually rather low casualties. While the number of casualties was about 1450, only about fifty of those were deaths. The rest were all wounded, and most of them were being patched up. Changelings, on the other hoof, suffered massive casualties. In total, over five thousand dead, and at least another eight thousand wounded, and beyond the wounded, an additional three thousand captured. The prisoners would be returned to the Changeling government in exchange for peace.

Next, they came up with what they were going to do with the Changelings. Pharynx told them about the old hive in the badlands, along with giving them numbers of remaining Changelings. The queen had hatched thousands of them for the invasion, but due to casualties inflicted on them, the number was down to little over twenty thousand. Princess Luna set aside a section of land to Equestrias west, which had no recorded settlements, which the other leaders agreed to. Pharynx accepted and would move the Changelings there to establish a new hive.

The next order of business was the giving out of what Equestria promised the other nations in return for their aid. For Griffonian, Saddle Arabia, and Yakyakistan were promised sections of land, which Equestria gave over to them. Monetary compensation was also given to them, along with a much larger sum to the Pryhans. The buffalo and Pryhans were also being supplied with modern infrastructure items like Trains, airships, and other modern amenities.

Lastly was the future relations of the various nations. A general peace would be established, of course, along with trade relations. That took probably the longest part of the treaty, working out how everyone would trade and how free the economy would be between the various nations. Finally, however, they came to an agreement, and it was finalized.

After all of the negotiations, two days, and several large pots of coffee, it was done. The treaty, named the Canterlot Concordance, was ratified and brought out to be signed. Each leader did so, and it was done. The war was officially over, and the 14th would pull out of Equestria within the week.
