Upon their entrance in Canterlot the party has been trying to get inside the royal castle, only for the hatchling to run away and sprint towards a lower part of town, where the huge building of the Dragon Archives could be seen.
Now, they stand in front of two massive, if young, dragons mountng guard at the main entrance of the Archives, and one of them is chatting with Puli.
Off in the distance, Ambrosia and Seekkill appear, and take notice of the party.

"Not hard."
He motions to the other dragon.

Leaving their huge halberds resting over the side of the massive white wall, the two dragons turn towards the door and take position near the middle.
Then, with a low sybil, you can see fire breathing through the door.
As the flame comes alive around the doorframe, the metal itself begins to melt away, revealing a huge, open building.
Under the purple domed structure stand thousands of shelves hosting thousandfolds the number of books, and dozens of dragons of all breeds, sizes and colors fly around.
In a depression in the middle of the building, a huge beign, at least four times the size of the dragon you met on the mountain, rests.

"That is the Broodmother.
Take it up to her, She's got plenty of time."

The talkative guard reprimends you.
"Hey, no swaring in front of the kid!"

The lumbering mountain of purple scales doesn't move.
You are not quite sure what is the head and what the tail, her features don't even resemble a dragon, to you.

However that is for a later time, i hope you don't mind. But on part of the dragon, I was instructed to seek council with both you and this 'Celestia.' This little dragon was to be protected and sent to you. The dragon I spoke of left, I wasn't around to see if he went with the eggs, I presume they are safely with him…

*ahem* I am here to discuss you the matter of Equestria and Dragon formalities, this of course in part because of the dragon I mentioned earlier. My apologies I seem to have forgotten his name."

But yeah, that dude there will do.
He's green, covered in gems, and his eyes look in two different directions.
>>200959
>>200958
He gives you a slightly annoyed look, as to ask if you are serious or just fucking around with him.
"But yeah, the Mother is old.
Not old like that, she's still the best out there, but yeah, she's old.
Some say she was here when Celestia and Luna founded Canterlot."

He didn't tell you.
All you can think of is his expression of surprise when you didn't know who he was.
And the soldiers, and their armors, and what you had to report.
Thinking about it, the whole morning is still vivid in your mind.
And as you recall every memory, a soft purr resounds through your head.
"I see."
At once, a dozen dragons turn towards the Broodmother and stand there, unmoving.
"The service you honored us with today is no small feat.
Thank you, Lady Firmgold. Would you mind listening to one more request? I promise this time every question… And judging by your mind, you have many, will be answered.
"
>>200967
"SQUEEEAK?"
He understands, you understand.
The side of the gems, so fine and polished.
The slime green of his scales, so muddy and unkept.
He has reached Nirvana.

Down the fiery-painted streets you go, back into the blinding white of Canterlot proper, and down again, to the grey unkept stone of the lower reaches.
Here, on a side of the cliff overlooking the whole of the kingdom, just beside a stray rivulet of water flowing on its very own waterfall, stands a simple, two story tavern, its windows glowing a warm hue of yellow in the relative darkness of the secluded street.

Then, pointing with a claw towards the middle
"This, this here is Canterlot, the city we are in right now. And this, Donkeyburg and its mountain, where you met one of our oldest and most skilled protectors."
As he slowly explains to you the geography and basics of the social structure of the nation, most of your unanswered questions are solved.
"And those who where mounting camp are members, as I'm told you already know, of the Northern Army.
One of the four legions that patrol over the far off corners of the Kingdom.
They have all large autonomy, and if they are attacking important servants of this nation they are either traitors or have a real damn good reason for it.

Leaving Canterlot before nightfall the party finds itself traversing quietly vast fields of crop, their natural golden hue lost in the fading light, brushing alongside their coats, their furs, their feathers, their amors, as small trails of broken stews are by them drawn on the endless fields.
Pointing north, north, north.
By the time Celestia's moon rises high a few distant burning spots appear on the horizon.
And suddenly, a road.
A huge road whide enough for a dozen ponies to walk side by side without an effort, long enough for the eye to strain trying to find its ends.
And further down the road, a trail of huge, imposing war machines starts coming into focus.
