This is a tale passed down for generations, a tale of an age before there was peace between the Griffons and the Equestrians.

Gallus is confident he doesn't have to open up to Silverstream. There's no need to tell her why he went out into the freezing cold in the middle of the night. Hopefully, she won't ask too many questions and he'll be able to move on as if the whole thing never happened.

Content warning: This story is about depression.
