Cadance gave a lovely speech there at the end. I hope she gives many such lessons when she visits the school in the future.

Glad you liked it! I hoped I wasn't getting too preachy, and all Cadance was missing was a soap-box to stand on top of. At least large parts of this chapter's lesson are reflected in the show; the first part that comes to mind is Tirek, where Twilight gives up Alicorn Power in order to save her friends (which doesn't exactly happen in this, much as I wanted to use it). Or parts leading up to season four, where their exemplifying actions and words convince others to behave like them, much more so than simply solving a crime or catching a criminal. And those strike me as the more potent lessons.
Part of this chapter (and the last) was drawn from a mission trip I did to Russia in high school, during which we helped dig a ditch with shovels, a hundred yards or so. The people there were flabbergasted we paid money to travel across the world to do something so mundane, so trivial, instead of being waited on hands and feet by them (as they expected because we were funding the school they were running). But being waited on was not we were there to do.
back to this. time to binge 5 chapters. i am glad cadence did no more than offer a path and an example. the hippogiffs are to damaged as a people to fall in for the jingoism that often came from the show. here they can work out their own path. a lot of them have deep pains that they will need to work through themselves. if anything else the ponies should be sending an army of councelors.
Cadence knocked it out of the park. Well done, pink princess. Well written, too.
