##### **End of conflict, peace agreements. The war is over**
**Azure's POV**
_I groggily woke up from wherever I was, unable to actually recognize anything around me, although to be fair, my eyes were starting to adjust to the bright light above me and the white all around... It was when I looked to the side, seeing one of these [odd monitor thingies used in hospitals](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/Hospital_Patient_Monitor_%2817239884329%29.jpg), that I realized where I was... or at least, had a fair guess of it. One of my hind legs was bandaged in the thigh section, and my left arm had an IV drip connected to it. I was about to get up before a nurse came in and saw that I was awake, proceeding to explain to me what had happened_
_During the fight between Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker, it seems that a magic bolt (It's unclear who it was) was directed to a nearby ammunition carrier tank nearby, [exploding in a deadly conflagration](http://www.insensitivemunitions.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/train.jpg). This was what caught the attention of both angry princesses, as they almost instantly went back to their original forms and tried to help, deeply apologizing, knowing that because of them many more had been injured or died. I couldn't understand a bit of what the nurse said, but she seemed to imply that the royal diarchy used some kind of forbidden magic, alongside Princess Cadance, Prince Shining Armor, and the Elements of Harmony, to revive about everyone that died in the war... or so I understood, I couldn't quite understand what she meant in that part. She also mentioned that I had a memory loss from what occurred... and when I thought about it... I didn't remember that much other than attempting to drag people off to safety with Bashful... she said I remembered that because it's the thing I did most, and luckily, other... less pleasant situations... had been forgotten by the concussion we suffered on our heads_
_She slowly urged me to stand, disconnecting my IV drip and pulling out the venous catheter
(Which kinda hurt), then slowly aiding me to walk a bit as I decided to visit Bashful, which thankfully, this nurse made sure to tell me he was fine, although hit his head quite badly. When I entered the room he was in, I could see him in a medical robe, trying to get out of bed, his paws and hooves slowly touching the ground as he tried his best to not fall stupidly onto the ground. I giggled a bit, and that's when he realized I was here alongside a nurse and blushed, finally reaching the ground... it seems that his bed was taller than mine... doesn't matter, I'm gonna call him smol for the rest of the week._
_[We approached each other slowly, and hugged and nuzzled caringly](/images/3107193?q=hugging%2C+duo), the nurse making little cute "daaaaw" noises behind me as I showed affection to my best friend, gently licking his cheek._ "Are you okay? Nothing hurts?" _I asked him, and he shook his head_ "Um... well... a-aside from the fact I t-think I'm having the worst headache in the history of ponykind... nothing so far... I'm fine... although I don't quite r-remember much... everything is foggy..." _He replied to me half-jokingly and half-seriously, as he giggled and smiled warmly toward me. It was at this time when an officer, or at least some high guy, came through the door and whispered something to the nurse, then they both took us somewhere. We weren't sure what they were doing, but we just followed along. It was when we walked through the halls and rooms that I realized we were on Canterlot's Castle... it had seen better days, for sure, but it seemed like it held quite well._
_They lead us to some kind of big room, with drawers and some ponies that... reminded me of Rarity actually; manipulating sewing machines and pinpricks, while they seemed to make beautiful clothes and uniforms. The officer kindly and warmly told us to wait, as the nurse left to treat other patients. A bit later, maybe 30 minutes, these sewing ponies told us to go inside another, smaller room connected to the one we were before, as they asked us to wear some clothes... I vaguely remember them from my memories with Bashful, attempting to save ponies... it was fully white, with red crosses, and Solar Empire symbols. It looked kinda fancy... We complied as Bashful proceeded to put on his uniform first, which was exactly like mine but had his name in a [golden rectangle on the chest, which I think was a name tag, on the left side of his chest, right above the pocket](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EAu3zXrWkAgsT_e.jpg), and I went to put on mine, although accidentally stepping on one of the uniform's arms and falling to my side in a bit of a funny way. The assistant and Bashful shared a chuckle as I klutzy stood up again, fixing the uniform. Then the assistant mare gave us [some caps to wear](http://cdn.uniforms-4u.com/pd/3078/big-u-u.s.-navy-officer-white-dress-hat-12058.png) with the clothing we just put on... it was at this time when I realized that I remembered a [white helmet with red crosses](https://www.militarypresentations.com/bmz_cache/d/d6a2d99a54d695726e90dc3089c9fae3.image.580x550.jpg) and not a white cap when I was with Bashful... perhaps this was some kind of dress uniform?_
_I looked at myself with the uniform and the cap, and I let out a little 'Woah' of excitement. I looked rather pretty in this military uniform of sorts! Although I couldn't guess the rank... was I... a lieutenant general? Why I even had an officer uniform if I think I was never in military training? Did I do [parkour](https://i.imgflip.com/2s9nrb.jpg?a467016) across the military ranks? Oh well... Bashful seemed just as confused as me, so that was a good thing; it meant I didn't miss something that the nurse was explaining. Shortly afterward, the cute assistant mare prompted us to go to a room where [there were many others with varying fancy uniforms in line](https://static.dw.com/image/53586879_605.jpg), waiting for something. They told us to stay with them in the same room and get in line, and I looked at them with a bit of confusion... I think I could remember them, but I was aided when someone said through a speaker their respective name... Marshal Red Flux... General Watermelon Rat, Lieutenant General Myoozik, Major General AndwhatIseeisme... Those were the ones I could kinda remember, and there were also others I couldn't quite recognize or that I never saw... was that a draconequus?..._
_Then, out of sudden, Princess Celestia came from one of the doors, accompanied by a white-coat yellow-maned advisor with a blue jacket, and a black-coat with black-mane and yellow eyes praetorian guard, both pegasus and with medals in their clothes. I stayed rigid just like Bashful, trying to make our best military impression and just roll with whatever was going on, as she walked in front of each one of us, smiling towards everyone warmly. Her aura seemed so calm and nice... was she proud of us? And then, she spoke with a soft yet firm voice_ ["For those who went above and beyond for the Solar Deity, drawing from the power of the sun itself to bring balance to the fight against the Lunar Insurrection...](/forums/meta/topics/the-event-aftermath?post_id=5433635#post_5433635) I award them this medal" _A faint glow appeared in front of her as she materialized a fancy box, which she promptly opened, revealing some medals. [These were the symbol of the Solar Empire, but with an added red circle and sun rays](https://derpicdn.net/badges/2023/4/10/4ec6d488-d7d0-11ed-a98d-02420a020002.svg)... it was glowing brightly, and it shone under the light of her horn... it was... pretty..._
_She approached each and every one of the officers in line, picking the medal with her telekinesis and placing them on the officers in formation, [affixing the shiny golden object on their uniform with the pin, making sure it fits perfectly and it was not inclined or something](https://c8.alamy.com/compes/2m8mamp/maj-gen-patricia-r-p-hickerson-dcspim-forscom-coloca-la-medalla-de-la-legion-del-merito-en-col-solapa-de-bolsillo-de-donald-r-reidel-col-reidel-es-el-comandante-saliente-de-fort-buchanan-la-medalla-fue-otorgada-por-la-manera-sobresaliente-en-que-col-reidel-cumplio-sus-funciones-como-comandante-del-post-el-especialista-en-asuntos-publicos-ivan-ortiz-mira-base-fort-buchanan-san-juan-estado-puerto-rico-pr-pais-united-states-of-america-usa-2m8mamp.jpg). [Every pony that received the medal had a sudden boost in morale, looking high at the sky with determined eyes and a rigid, statue-like posture](https://d1ldvf68ux039x.cloudfront.net/thumbs/photos/1906/5430305/1000w_q95.jpg), their pride felt like an imposing aura from them. When she approached us, she looked at us for a few seconds, seemingly confused too as to why we were there. It kinda felt as if we had gone to a party to which we were uninvited. But she looked at our red cross uniform and she smiled again, pinning the badge first on Bashful and afterward on me, as I smiled happily like a cute kitty. She seemed to find our expression of joy amusing, gently petting us lightly, before continuing on giving medals to others on our right._
_When the ceremony was over and everyone left to their respective quarters, we wandered around the castle, both because we had never ever been inside this building, despite it being partly damaged, and because we wanted to see what was happening... What we saw was anticlimactic... I could see Lunarists hanging out with Solarists as if they were friends, even though I had thought we were at war. They also seemed to get along quite nicely, [chanting and singing songs about Unity and stuff... while probably having too much cider](/images/2179752)... perhaps being forced to work together to not have Princess Celestia and Princess Luna destroy the world made an excellent way for peace? Wait... what if the princesses actually had done that on purp-_ "Aww, you guys are some cute kitties! You guys were the ones that saved both NLR and SE troops in the battlefield? These ones who disregarded any kind of difference and helped anyone they found?"
"Uh..." _Bashful started, partly confused, and I continued for him_ "I believe so? I think..." _And then, out of sudden, the bat pony approached us and started petting us both, probably way too happy and drunk_ ["Awww... I know you guys are from the SE, but we're gonna keep you both as pets of the NLR"](/forums/meta/topics/new-lunar-republic?post_id=5419201#post_5419201) _I was now even more confused, letting out a little "Nyaa?" that probably meant something like "Wait whaat?", most likely personifying that meme of "Bad touch bad touch stranger danger"... but honestly his petting felt nice and comfortable, and I couldn't help but purr lightly and contently... We weren't sure what was going on, [but we were happy that everything ended and things went back to normal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU)..._
