In the midst of the greatest war Equestria and the Griffin Empire has ever seen, two young soldiers and their army's come together to celebrate Hearth's Warming on a night of love and peace. For tonight, they celebrate a much needed ceasefire.

Written to honor the men that were bold enough to call for peace on Christmas, 1914, amidst the Great War.

Tonight was the Blue Moon festival, and Smolder wanted to celebrate the holidays with Gallus to spice things up a bit. Gallus, however, thinks that she wouldn’t appreciate the her visit due to… some of the griffon’s attitudes.

Gallus just hopes that Smolder doesn’t think she made a mistake. The last thing he wants was for her to feel unwelcome. He would do anything to impress her in this shabby town of Griffonstone.

Captain Gallus strongly disagrees on both counts.
