Teotle, Nyx and Fracture were sitting on a bench outside of the Ironeye's shop. Fracture listened at the two of them as they told her about their adventures, back when they we're in Ponyville.
Fracture laughed and asked, "So you really learned how to bake a cake?"
"Not just cake." Nyx replied. "We also made cupcakes."
"Remember when Scootaloo and Applebloom got covered in flour?" Teotle commented.
Nyx said, "Ha, yeah. It took them hours to wash it out of their hair."
They all laughed together when Ironeye walked out of the shop. "Well now, whats so funny?" He asked with a smile.
Teotle's smile quickly turned into a frown. He looked up at Ironeye and said, "I'll tell you later. But first, can I ask you something?"
"Ask away my boy." Ironeye replied.
Teotle took a deep breath and asked, "What did my mother mean by her real husband?
Ironeye sighed and sat down next to Teotle on the bench. "I won't lie to you, boy. This story is not for the faint of heart.
"I'm ready." Teotle said with a cool but firm voice.
Ironeye chuckled under his breath. "I guess you are." He said. "Shadowflame is not your only father. There was another."
What was his name?" Nyx asked.
"His name was Crimson Arrow, but most people just called him Arrow. Ironeye answered. "He was a good wolf, and he was my friend."
"What happened to him?" Fracture asked.
Ironeye looked at the ground and said, "Shadowflame wanted his wife, Teotle's mother. Arrow refused to give Frost up, so he was executed by the guards. Its cowardly for Shadowflame, our king, to take a man's wife and not finish them himself." Ironeye looked at the three kids, wanting to cry, but he wouldn't because he knew that they would follow him.
"What happened next?" Teotle asked, wanting to know more.
"Well, to tell you the truth, its a mystery." Ironeye said, shrugging his shoulders. "Frost kept to herself for over two weeks. She hardly slept or ate. All I know is that their daughter disappeared after the execution."
The three kids looked at him and asked, "Daughter?!"
Ironeye looked at them with wide eyes. "Teotle, all this time you never knew about your sister?"
"No." Teotle answered. "I only knew of mother and Shadowflame."
"Well, now you know." Ironeye said. "Teotle, you must understand. Your mom never meant to leave you alone. Your sister might still be alive somewhere. Frost probably knew that and hoped that you would find her. Besides, she suffered a great deal during Shadowflame's rein. She deserves rest."
Teotle thought about it and said, "Your right. Besides, I'll see her again, somewhere in the future."
Just then, Celestia and Luna came from the arena. Nyx climbed down from the bench and walked up to them, asking, "How is everypony?"
"Teotle's siblings are taking the debriefing well." Luna answered.
"Twilight and her friends have been sharing everything they have learned about friendship." Said Celestia "They were a little bored at first, but they eventually began to listen."
"That's a relief." Teotle commented.
"How are they feeling about being dead for a while?" Fracture asked.
"They're a little confused, but they'll get over it, I'm sure." Luna replied.
"What about Smoke and Brimstone?" Nyx asked nervously.
"They will be kept under close watch to make sure they don't cause trouble." Luna reassured.
"So, what do we do from here?" Teolte asked.
Celestia smiled and said, "We are going to help these wolves improve their way of life. They have allowed us to share our wisdom and resources with them. Your mothers are going to help maintain peace in these lands now."
"That's good news." Nyx smiled.
Teotle wanted to smile too, but he felt a little uneasy. He looked at Nyx and asked, "Hey, can I say something?"
"Of course." Nyx answered.
"You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Teotle said, kicking the dirt. "Can I come back to ponyville with you?"
Nyx looked at him with confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I never really belonged here. More than anything, I want to go home and be with you and Twilight and all of our friends."
Nyx smiled and said, "Yes, I want that too. I'm sorry for what I said back at the hospital."
"I don't care about that." Teotle said. "I just want to go home."
"Then go home you shall." Celestia said with a smile. "lets go get the others and prepare to leave."
Fracture gave Teotle a nudge and said, "Hey, make sure to visit sometime. Ok?"
"I will." Teotle replied.
Teotle and Nyx waved goodbye to Fracture and Iron eye, and followed the princesses back to the arena. Twilight had given Teolte's brothers and sisters a journal to guide them in their pursuit of friendship. Twilight had written the journal based off of the letters she set to Celestia during her time in Ponyville.
The princesses, Nyx and Teotle had arrived and made the announcement that they were leaving for home. After saying their goodbyes, They made their journey back to Equestria.
