Granite blushes slightly and waves goodbye as Friesden goes inside. Granite then walks to his house.
My house! Granite thought. He quietly turns the lock to his apartment and enters the small room known as his home. Granite places his chain on the weapon rack nearby and promptly lays down. Within ten minutes he drifted off to sleep, when his dream came back.
Granite stood in a lone field. Rain poured down upon him. An owl was perched at eye level on a nearby branch. The owl spoke to Granite. "When you can caress a flower with the same hoof you used to render stone to dust, only then are you ready." Four badger ponies formed by shadow surround Granite. "And you are ready." The owl said. Granite wasted no time in sending out his chain, arcing it through the two ponies to his right. As the chain flew into them, the ponies disintegrated into ash, as the other two quickly charged his flank. Granite pivoted into the one directly behind him as he drew his dagger and stabbed the one to his left through the skull. Another turned to dust, the final badger pony lunged Granite. With a flicker of movement Granite pushed the blade away from him, stabbed the final pony in the ribs, and imbeded his chain-wrapped hoof into his skull. The final pony fell into a pile of ash. Granite won.Granite awoke a changed pony. On his flank before him was his cutie mark. It was a crow perched upon a cracked stone, clutching a rose in it's beak. Of course Granite had no idea what that meant, but frankly he didn't care. The day was his.
