Once he had written it down he placed it on the pillow and left the room and sneakily went out of the hospital avoiding every pony except for Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends because he needed them to talk to, and then he went to go to Princess Twilight Sparkle’s tree house, and he waited there for the rest of the princesses to come over to the tree house and come to talk to him.
He waited for sometime before the rest of the princesses came, and when they had all gathered they all spoke in a rushed hurry of loud voices.
“Sorry for the way I treated you,” Twilight Said.
“I applaud your brave and noble act of honor,” Celestia said.
“For a creature of the dark, you have given us light,” Luna said.
“Can all of you be quiet for one moment?” Chris shouted.
At this shout they all went quiet as requested, “Thank you,” he said, “Now on to what I have to stay, I will not be staying in Ponyville much longer, my goal and quest now is to find the pony who planted the crystal seeds in the Everfree forest, the seeds do not migrate with the wind, some pony had to plant them, and I intend to find out who by using this magical compass given to me by Zecora, it will guide me on the path and way to heart’s and mind’s desire.
Using it I will be able to find the pony responsible, and he’ll pay for putting innocent pony lives at risk, especially young ones. Where I go I do not know, and I would advise no pony try to follow me on my journey, this is something I must do alone, for I may find the missing part of myself deep down inside.”
“Are you sure you want to do this all alone?” Celestia asked.
“I’m sure some pony could help you on your quest, surely your family can help you…” Luna said, “NO!” Chris said loudly, “I must do it all alone by myself; I cannot have any pony helping me, I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!”
“There’s no need to be rude about it,” Twilight said.
“THERE IS! YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OR URGENCY OF THIS MATTER I HAVE BROUGHT TO YOU HERE TODAY!”
“We do,” Celestia said, “What we do not understand is why you would want to go on this journey alone, especially after learning about the power of all the elements of harmony, truth, generosity, kindness, laughter, loyalty, and magic, and also the power and love of your family, can you please tell us why?”
“It is so that they do not get hurt, I do not want to put any pony’s life in danger anymore; I have caused too much damage and change just by being here.”
“Well then, if that is the way you feel, I do not blame you for your thoughts or for the actions you are about to take; and good luck on your long journey ahead of you, to wherever it may take you, Chris the Changeling,” Celestia said slightly bowing towards Chris.
“Princess, there is no need to bow for me,” Chris said shocked at the sight.
“Oh but there is, should this disease not be contained to Ponyville, and had you not cured it, it could have spread across all of Equestria, and no other Changeling would have been willing, ready, or able to help, so yes, this is the proper occasion and reason for me to bow to you, as all of us should do.”
With that being said all of the princesses bowed at Chris in a sign of honor and respect, it was the highest one that Chris had ever received in his long life.
“Thank you very much, but if you don’t mind I would like to have one final word with Princess Cadence before I go, I need my thoughts and head to be clear before I go, and to do that I need to speak my last words and thoughts.”
“Very well then,” Celestia said, “We shall leave you as you wish.”
With that being said all the princesses left except for Cadence.
“What is it you wish to speak of?” Cadence asked.
“Do you know if it’s possible for a changeling, for me, to love?”
“Of course it is; you feed off of love, so why would it make any sense that you can’t love? One would have to know and feel love before taking it away.”
“I guess that makes sense, thank you princess; that is all I have for you today.”
“If I may ask, why do you wish to know this?”
“Because I think I may love a certain special some pony, but I don’t think she loves me back, in fact she confessed to loving another certain special some pony who couldn’t love her back in order to keep both of them safe and for neither of them to be hurt since the certain special some pony is immortal.
And I was asking this because I wanted to know if my feelings were actually real, or if they were just a figment of my imagination and false.”
“I can reassure you that they are very real, any feeling of love is very real.”
“Well thank you Princess, now if you don’t mind I must go, oh, and make sure that Eve gets my letter I left her on a pillow in the Ponyville hospital.”
“I assume that this would be the certain special some pony that you love?”
“You would assume correctly indeed then, in other words your guess is good, and it was indeed correct,” Chris said, and with that he left the tree house and followed the needle of the compass north.
