	As Derpy walked down the stairs with a smile on her face and newly found friends at her back she realized that she had done something that made other people like her for once. Ration ran up from behind her and said, "You did good I'm proud of you."

As soon as these words reached her ears she blushed smiled and said "Thank you, I feel like I did something good today."

Ration got closer to Derpy as they walked and whispered into her ear "I think even Edgar was happy to see you win." As they retuned to the building Ration led the way to a great hall filled with different cups and plates on a long wooden table. The table had a cloth spread over it that was white and had golden edges.
Derpy flew over to a chair when Ration called out "it's not time to eat yet." Ration kept walking while Derpy could only think of how hungry she was. As Ration entered another doorway Derpy looked behind herself to see no one was there. Derpy flew to catch up to Ration when he stopped to talk to a small spider. They were talking in a different langue, when the spider left Ration turned to Derpy and said "Lets get that armor off and let it dry." Derpy blushed and gave off a nervous smile when her winds puffed up behind her. She quickly used her arms to hold them down as she scooted herself into another room. 
Derpy came out five minutes later and apologized to Ration he laughed and motioned his arm towards another door. Derpy came to the door and opened in, as she entered spiders and skeletons applauded her.
Ration called from behind her and told her "I'm sorry I have to go for a minute I'll see you later." Ration shut the door behind him Derpy wanted to tell him to stay but knew he probably had something important to do. Derpy turned around and started walking towards the fireplace where she laid down to rest. A skeleton wearing a white shirt came up to Derpy and asked her if she was hungry. Derpy didn't want to say she was hungry but, then her stomach made a rumbling sound and she nodded. The pony walked out of the room and came back five minutes later. He walked over to the fire and started cooking some food. He walked around the room serving the spiders and then came to Derpy. The skeleton apologized that they didn't have very much food for vegetarians considering they didn't have to feed the skeletons and the spiders ate meat.   
Derpy was eating some of the very few berries and bits of grass the skeleton offered her when Edgar called for her. Derpy got up and walked over to the fire where he was hanging by some web. He reached around her with of his longer legs and pulled her closer, he whispered in her ear "I'm sorry for getting so angry." Derpy smiled and reached up to his back and pulled him closer. Derpy turned to him and asked what the symbol was on his white cape. He told her a story of the war and the battalion and how the symbol was made.
