958 Virski's choice

When Eldrian returned to the glade, he found Zamia and several other Alicorns relaxing under the moon's light.

Honestly, if everyone were in their normal Alicorn forms, he wouldn't have known how to identify Ceph's mom from the rest. But she and a few others were currently in their elven forms. 

Seeing them all here made it clear that the battle had been won. And, most importantly, there didn't appear to be too many wounded. Though, Eldrian didn't know how many hadn't made it back. 

Ceph, as always, was easy to spot. Every Alicorn, Unicorn, and Pegasus had a coat of white. Some had a hue of silver with some light coloring. But Ceph and his black coat and green wings stood out like a sore thumb. 

"How did things go?" Eldrian asked, moving to Ceph's side. 

"We won, at least," Ceph replied, shapeshifting to his elven form as he did.
