Espionage and Allergies.

New chapter was going to push tonight, but something is blooming and it's set my allergies off, despite all of the allergy meds. My eyes feel like they are full of bees.

Next chapter is a bit of a departure from our plucky band of adventurers, and focuses more on a character we didn't see much of last time around. Also everything is spies.

Trust no one. Not even yourself.

My world is made of itching and misery. I hate spring more than I hate Edith Wharton's novel "Ethan Frome", which is an intense and abiding dislike bordering on mania.

Allergies sympathy party? I just got back from vacation and every time I stepped outside I spent hours sneezing afterward.

I spend every spring heavily medicated so that I can breathe. I have enough trouble with breathing and nature hates me. TREES hate me. And yet I come out of work and find my car yellow-coated from the tree's hatred of my breathing.

...what I'm saying is that nature sucks and I'd rather stay a nice pale marshmallow than go outside where everything hates me and wants me dead.

Also: oooh, spies! I love spies. And hate spies. SPIIIIIIIES.

Yeah, this Spring has not being kind to me either.

There is something which has been bothering me for a while. How are the relationships of the other races (like gryphons and minotaurs) with ponies, specially the ones of the Celestial Empire? I don't think they have forgotten the whole "Celestia planned killing us all" of the prequel.

DUDE I know your feel. My itchy eyes seem to be dying down, but there isn't any less sniffling. Zyrtec is a gift from the gods.

I won't get too deeply into it, but the short answer is "not good". Granted, that was four hundred years ago, but Gryphons live about that long anyway and hold serious grudges. If not for the EK, they'd probably have written off ponies as a race and gone for a clean slate. By which I mean counter-genocide. Minotaurs are too busy fighting off large wolves and hitting things with axes to worry about that kind of thing. As for the Quilin, Zebras, and so on, they were accounted for in the plan, so it's hard to disagree with the goddess who called you the chosen race.

"Hey Purgle, do you remember back when the pretty pony Princess-Goddess decided to remove us from the planet, because we were sooooo violent, rude and smelly?"
"Pppffff... that was nothing. Have I ever told you about what my grandfather´s clan went to the Jungle to fight a necromancer cult and ended in a fast food competition"

Bruh, Minotaurs have it rough. If not for the fact that most freeze to death, get murdered by their siblings, or get eaten by Scary Beasts, they'd be the dominant species in Equestria. When you're as familiar with death as the average Minotaur, the idea of a pan-species extinction doesn't seem nearly as frightening. As it is, they only stop hitting things with axes to brew alcohol and gather in Hornmeets, and even then there's a few swings of various sharp implements.
