Even if they couldn't fully explain or even understand what it truly was....
Still, the idea that they had at least thought about checking it out at the very least, gave him some slight sliver of hope that he'd one day see the place that his parents grew up and fell in love in.
"Maybe." he spoke with a hopeful smile.
He then chuckled at her enthusiasm. "Oh, wow. Let's see." he started, looking up at the clouds overhead to find the right answers. "Based on the stories. Equestria was a large island. Probably a little bigger than this one. My parents met in a city called Canterlot. That's where my Great Aunts, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia, ruled. They had a huge castle made of white stone and large stained glass windows." he chuckled a little bit. "Father would tell me stories of how those windows would change their pictures when something big or memorable happened."
"My Mother was the Princess of the Crystal Empire. She said her castle was made completely out of crystals and the magic of her kingdom made all her followers appear to be made of Crystal too. There's a couple of them that walk around the tree. I almost didn't believe that part until I saw one of them walking around."
"There were other cities and villages too. They will likely tell you most of the stories whenever you meet them. They love to reminisce. But mostly they're all happy, chipper, tales. But as for the clouds and magic aspect... They say more often that the Magic flows more freely there. Everyone has their own special talent that they can do. It's their purpose, their destiny. It's what gives them their cutie marks and in most cases, their jobs. They told us that the Pegasus Ponies.... er... Faunies... The ones with wings, used to be able to move and manipulate the clouds. They were in charge of the weather and most of them lived in the Pegasus city called Cloudsdale." He leaned in and half whispered with a small hint of wonder and awe. "And Cloudsdale is made completely out of clouds."
He then laughed a bit when she mentioned the water bucket. "I'll hold you to it!" He took the pieces of jerky with a grin. "Thanks!" He tucked one into his pouch. "Hunting isn't for everyone, I'll give it that." His face then skewed a bit into one of concern. "What kind of trap did you use?"
