The previous holiday season, Gallus had stayed at Twilight Sparkle’s School of Friendship over the holidays with his various friends. Honestly, she had been happy for him. Gallus had never really enjoyed the Blue Moon Festival back in Griffonstone. Well, no griffon truly “enjoyed” the Blue Moon Festival, but Gallus had particularly never liked the low simmer of tensions that was characteristic of the festival. It was the one time of year when griffons tried to be nice to one another: emphasis on the word “try.”
