"Ah, yes, right… Crescent, was it?"

It was… very interesting meeting you."

I'll nod again.
"Correct."
I'll bow slightly.
"Though I am certain you are eager to spend a fair amount of time with your queen, so I shall take my leave."
I'll bow slightly to Venia as well.
"By your leave, then."
And then I'll make my way out. To the teleporter arrays.

In that case, after Venia comes out with Unyielding, we go to Ironfoe, drop off the letter to Mastersmith Narpa, I tell Deep Rock about his son's victory over Ebonreth, say he's finally growing into a stallion who can actually wear his armor properly, and then maybe ask if Ebonreth's gauntlets can be combined with axe blades. And then on the way back, get some edelweiss flowers for Ambrosia.

"Opium…yes, that should relieve the pain quite nicely. I hope you'll recover soon from that awful wound, Miss Mistral."
Turn to Ambrosia.
"Miss Ambrosia, I have a something to ask you and I feel this might be better asked in private. Would it be fine if we went somewhere else? It won't take long."

"Yes. You see, Frostmourn has asked me to retrieve a certain magical artifact, and I believe I can get information about its location from these druids.
And since they're supposed to be quite secretive, it would be great help if you were with us when we find them, not to mention you could learn a great deal about Earth Elementalism from them."

And it is a wound made by decaying flesh, and their work involves the exact opposite, growing and revitalizing."
Think or a second.

"Shocking… I think the true emotion is ineffable: indescribable with mere words… I meant it sincerely: I could feel exactly what you felt for her. Pain of betrayal… loss of a friend of many years… overwhelming sadness, and a little fear, too, for the future. For Codar and Radiant. And so… I experienced them, too."
I take a seat, a little exhausted, next to her in the garden, and return her weak smile. "You live very passionately."

"So.. was that Empress's magic doing something to make her act that way?"

I pause. "She… was sincere about caring for you and the other members of the High King's court. There was regret. And I began to realize that she wasn't acting strange because some spell had been cast on her…"
Move closer, an inch from her ear, still sitting by her side, and whisper, "It was a spell crumbling with age."

"I believe that the unaltered Radiant Goldentail would have never given any of you the chance to become friends. She served Celestia directly once, and someone wanted to get rid of her. They cast a spell to make her forget her loyalties… but after twenty years that spell is falling apart. The spell is breaking, and she's torn because she made friends she wouldn't have in the interim and wants to return to her life."
Pause. "If the one who cursed her was clever, they would have completely destroyed the memories like I did with the High King's secrets. As troubling as that would be, it's perhaps the least disturbing revelation yet."

I don't think Lady Goldentail may have even been born yet… she comes from an Equestria that seems to have developed since our time, and she WAS banished here by a mage… through time. I even gleaned the basics of the spell… such that it might be possible to replicate with study.

Time travel! So she's from the future? This is good news. I knew that there was no way she could have seen others like Codar, she claimed to have seen, fought and destroyed a minion like codar but made of ponies. A necromancer called the reanimator, and a the minion called patchwreck

Good news? It means that she's going back to an Equestria where no one knows her. If she toys with history, she may prevent her own birth somehow! More importantly, why did they send her here?

Yeah, well.. relatively good news. It means that her story was from the future as well, that they don't really have such terrifying ability to kill necromancers more powerful and corrupt than we could hope to become in our life time.
But, you're right about her going back to a place no one knows her being a bad thing.. What if they take her as a threat and try to kill her? And how hurt she will be when that Empress she went on about doesn't even know her?
But what of the one who sent her back, would they not retrieve her before she does too much damage?

To leave this all behind so I can fulfill my own dreams and ambitions? But I don't, because I know that I can try to do a lot more good where I am right now. And so could you, before you decided to run away."

I turn around and walk away.
"Farewell, Radiant. May your Sun guide you well on your travels."

"Perhaps, but what would that accomplish? It does nothing to discredit her. Worse, you may turn her into a martyr. What you must do is prove her wrong, turn her into a pariah in her own home. The worst fate I can imagine would be to be stricken from our own history. For all her faults, Grimalphas still loves Stormheart. To have her very nation turn against her in such a fashion would destroy her."

Stormheart.
The City of Peaks.
The promised roost of griffons.
West of Eaglecrest and Rockeye, it is a magnificent mountain range that borders the sea. Cold, sharp winds lash through it's valleys and across it's ridges. This is quite possibly the coldest and harshest of all the Northlands. And thus, perfect for the Gryphons, who are far hardier than ponies. Violent gusts of wind keep every flier alert, for a moment of missed concentration could lead to one becoming yet another stain on a jagged mountain wall.
And crossing the border is the High King and his inner circle. Sir Golden Oats had toiled day and night to ensure his creation was ready and serviceable. An invention inspired by one of the High King's allies.
Golem Wings.
Based on the same principals as the High King's leg, these machines will enable any who wear them to make long leaping glides, thus allowing them to traverse the roadless peaks.
High up in Castle Stormheart, Gryphon King Garret was wringing his talons, trying to think of a solution to his worries.
In her headquarters in the lower roosts, the Crowne, Grimalphas, was educating her followers on the virtues of a strong nation capable of surviving on it's own, independent of others.
And in a small box carried by Lord Godric Blackmane, the Eaglecrest Helm rested, awaiting it's return home.

Castle Stormheart is atop the highest peak, above the clouds. Smaller settlements are scattered around the lower peaks.
The straight path is the shortest, but it will lead through a lot of populated areas. Some of the side peaks seem emptier, but scaling them will take time and effort.

"I felt like I was…with Shimmering again…"
I've decided on Shimmering Light as the name of my ex-waifu.
."She's quite something the mare. Before I left I went to see her to say goodbye and talk a bit. We just lay there on her couch, just talking for what seemed like forever. I felt…happy…"

"I thought…about using my Sight on her….find out if she spoke the truth. I don't know anymore, I usually don't do that to anypony, unless it's necessary. And now I'm thinking about doing it to a mare I like."

"It's a tricky situation. And I admit I may not be the best of mares to ask advice. I pretty much blundered my way into being together with Unyielding."
I smile
"But I trust him completely. And I myself am always honest with him. If I make a mistake somewhere or am worried about something, he's usually the first to know. Trust is a fundamental part of any relationship, because the lack of it creates jealousy."
I rub the back of my neck with a hoof
"And I don't think using those powers would be a completely fair thing to do. You're a nice stallion, Smouldering, so I don't think you need to be afraid of encountering the same thing again. Heck, if I was ten years younger and I didn't have a stallion already…"
I let myself trail off and chuckle again

"Back in Rockeye, I once did an experiment on exactly how much magical energy could be converted into a single Elemental Fire Orb. That was when I still had some assistants to help me….
It started off so well. The magical energy concentrated within just became denser and denser. The Orb became as powerful as 3 regular orbs, then 6, then 9.
It was such an amazing sight, such concentrated raw power. I ignored the warnings of those who were there and just kept going, fueling it, making it stronger."
I frown.
"The Orb lost its integrity and exploded. I could protect myself but everypony in the room, and the room itself got blasted.
Everypony in that room except me had horrible burns."
I sigh.

So. Gryphons. Solid chance that they're Grimalphas's goons. Equally solid chance that they're just the garrison. Taking in the night.
…Hmm.
I'll head back in, and speak with our guards.
"Is it usual for a large gaggle, or flock, of your gryphons to do night drills?"
