“….but I believe that I understand it now” I concluded. >Stella was left astonished and I wasn´t sure if it was because of that line or the fact that I had brought up this short story. “What are you trying to tell me with that, BlueStar?” Stella asked. “Look Stella, I hate to confess but you should that I have always been looking for myself and back then, when I was standing on the rock before getting carried over by those waves, I wasn´t doing it for love. I was looking for my pleasures and stability for the rest of my life…because I have an age and I am certainly noticing the consequences of that process” I confessed. “And why are you even staying here? Don´t you have other places to go instead?” she said in the verge of crying. “No, Stella, you don´t understand. I am still here. I could go to the house I have picked here for working and I could perfectly do it on my own but...” I said. “But what do you mean with that? You haven´t told me anything yet…” Stella responded. “But I am here because of compromise and gratitude” I continued. >She changed a little bit her expression and she started to be a little bit conflicted with what I was saying to her. “I am here because I was given a second chance. I didn´t imagine back then that I would make it and live an aquatic life. I didn´t think for a moment that all this was actually possible. When things were desperate for me, you came and made me forget about those troubles. You didn´t do anything extraordinary I know but when someone feels that level hopelessness, any help at those times actually encourages a pony like me to move forward” I said. “So you were hiding all your pains the day you came here?” she asked. “Yes Stella but I cannot handle it anymore” I admitted. “Why? Why are you telling me this now?” Stella asked. “Because now that I have confessed myself with my commander; I feel like having to clear up all these secrets with you as well. I don´t feel like saying half-truths anymore to you. I might have seen lots of corrupted guards or fakers out there and in comparison to what I have experienced, you are the only mare I have met who is truly honest and true” I said. “Well, that was unexpected to hear. I know that I have had a good education but I still ask myself, why are you so convinced about everything you are confessing right now? Why are you so confident about this? ” she affirmed. “You know, my mind is a mess but I truly believe that no one deserves two lives. I was meant to end there before receiving the transformation. All this feels like a bonus to me” I said. “And Stella… I promise not to linger this if you don´t want to. I could have perfectly left you with this inauguration or even last week when I got the option to live in another house” I continued. “So are you decided to stay here?” she asked.
