I think even if Flowing doesn’t realize it, she’s lived a very interesting life. Star Point really is just another adventure for her. It’s nice to see her share it with him. Also, tactical swooping!

Really enjoyed the action and description of the lusca, as well as the nature of Cirrus’ and Tempest’s own ongoings.

It's funny, they think they're bringing overkill, and yet....
A narrow escape for our intrepid adventurous couple, luckily outwitting a squid worked wonders. If things weren't so dire, somepony might think Flowing was putting on a show!

She'll look back to her adventure " I did that carrying my first foal?
Whoa , Did I hear that right?
Hormones made her cray cray
Just like you
Sweetie Belle!
She's not wrong
Now both of them are beaten black & blue
Git my rope
can I can I can I ? I got a pipe!

Welp, I know how this is going to go down, especially when one side is so gravely outnumbered.

Those griffins don't stand a chance.

Two different adventures, two very different themes. One rather bright and cheery, the other more dark and gritty. Interesting choice that, but the story's more fun for it.
