After some idle chatter, Crystal Charm takes a sip from her bottle of cider, then offers it to you.
 
Crystal Charm: “Cider?”
 
You thank Crystal Charm, and take the bottle. After drinking a mouthful of fresh cider, you let out a satisfied sigh.
 
Crystal Charm puts a foreleg around you, and leans against you comfortably.
 
Crystal Charm: “So, you got any stories, Blazer?”
 
You tell her that since she told you her cutie mark story, you could tell her yours.
 
Crystal Charm: “Ooh, sounds good to me!”
 
You recount that when you were a little filly, you lived in a small village called Foalshire. When it wasn’t snowing there, it was raining; the weather often made commerce difficult with the other villages in the region.
 
One day, while you were out playing in the mountains, you came across a caravan that was stuck because of a landslide that was blocking the road. Knowing the area like the back of your hoof, you offered to show them another way around.
 
You lead them to the village, and they told the mayor about what had happened. Thanks to your knowledge, you were tasked with blazing the alternate route with flags for future travellers.
 
Your trails soon became roads, and travelling became easier for everypony in the area. That’s when you realized the importance of wandering off the beaten path, and got your cutie mark!
 
Crystal Charm: “Aww… that says so much about you!”
 
You begin to feel sleepy.
