Aria
Sunlight peaked past the horizon into a massive room made of crystal and ice. At its heart stood a giant round table with four thrones arranged like the four points of a compass. Outside, the sounds of crashing waves and seagulls could be heard in the distance. Four equinoid figures entered the room, two of which were a whole head taller than Celestia herself while the remaining two were a foot taller then them.
"There better be a good reason you woke us up this early Notus," one of the taller equinoids said, his voice deep and full of irritation as he took his seat at the north.
"I think you might like this news Boreas," the other tall equinoid, Notus said with a soft voice full of mischief as he took his seat in the south.
"I hope you can deliver on that promise," one of the shorter equinoids said, her tone bitter as she took her seat in the table's east side.
"Let's hear him out Eurus," the remaining figure said, her tone calm and collected as she took her seat in the west.
"Whatever Zephyrus," Eurus snapped casting a glare at the southern chair. "I'm just saying what you're all thinking."
"Anyway!" Notus shouted. "I think I know where our lost grandson might've wound up."
All the room's inhabitants froze, shock evident even in the dim light of early dawn in each of their features.
"I swear if this is one of your pranks-"
"I would never make a joke out of this Eurus,"Notus growled. "Even I have limits."
"Where is he?" Boreas demanded.
"The last place we would think to look."
As he said that, the table before them started to glow. On its surface was an image of a city made of crystal. Boreas stared at the image for a moment, then aggressively jumped to his hooves.
"Let's not waste anymore time! Gather both the Banshees and the Frosts! It is time we finally meet our lost grandson!"
"DAMN STRAIGHT!" Eurus cheered, all irritation purged from her voice in favor of excitement as she jumped to her hooves.
"He's alive," Zephyrus whispered, voice choked with happy tears as she reached a hoof out towards the image.
"I knew you guys would like what I had to say," Notus said, his proud smirk audible as he rose from his throne.
One by one the four figures stepped out of the throne room, the sun coming past the window just enough to catch a glint of scaled hind leg and a waving etherial tail as the last member of their group stepped past the threshold.

The Gaps in Friendship is coming back, YAY!
Such a shame to see this story end, but the promise of a sequal is great. I look forward to the next part of Alto's story!
I wonder if he likes saxophones...
The four winds? Huh, the last time I saw them on this site they were lying dormant near Canterlot High after a knockdown drag-out brawl with Gaea Everfree.
I suggest a sequel just as long as the first, if not longer. This story has kept my attention from start to finish.
Nice way to end the story, family looking for family that could be ominous or pleasant depending on the situation. I look forward to the next story and all the shenanigans that will ensue.

Erm...it is complete...
Excuse me? EXCUSE ME?!
When you make the sequel put a chapter announcing it here.
So... Alto’s relatives are gonna save him from ponies who are taking care of him. It’s a misunderstanding but I can’t wait for the sequel

I suppose. I was mostly going for a metaphor on loving and forgiving yourself as a form of healing after a tragedy. I was also trying to go for a rarely hit on shipping possibility.
Eagerly awaiting the continuation of the series!
What a beautiful story, I'm looking forward to the sequel and eagerly await the next update of The gaps in Friendship.
START THE SEQUEL ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10338728 Ah. Well anyway, 'Hello'. I am enjoying the story thus far. It hits many good notes with me: reasonable characters with understandable motivations, varied cast of original characters, multiple yet simple plot points, cultural comparison and contrast. Overall very good thus far. I am a real stickler for spelling though.
If you like, I invite you to take a look at my own work and provide feedback. Just an invitation, not an expectation. My stories are decidedly not for everyone.

Fair enough and I think I might. Personally, I feel that when you try to make a story that appeals to everyone, it will appeal to no one. Simply write a story that you want to tell and those who want to read it will find it.
10338752 Well I don't know why it took me so long to find this one. I am liking it a lot thus far.
I would love to read more of this story. Why is there not more yet?
Great story!
The sequel's gonna be one big misunderstanding isn't it? The wendigoes will think the Crystal Empire is holding Alto prisoner, meanwhile they're taking good care of him as their honored guest. I sense an almost Romeo and Juliet plot with Flurry and Alto being romantically involved.
