Ever since Smolder and Gallus absorbed the world's friendship, their hearts have really grown — and so has their size! As they watch over their tiny world, they find themselves fidgeting with their toes. They love the feeling of sand and dirt between their toes; it feels strangely relaxing. And when they travel the world, they always love to bring something back. So they thought … why not bring their favorite parts of the world together for a reunion? And give the tiny cities a warm embrace with their toes?

As best friends, Gallus trusts Smolder to take good care of Griffonstone. And Smolder trusts him to be gentle with the Dragonlands. As a token of their faithfulness, Smolder holds Gallus's homeland between her toes. And Gallus holds the Dragon Lord's volcano with his. And as Captain of Equestria's Royal Guard, Gallus authorizes Smolder to protect Canterlot, Ponyville, and Fillydelphia. Meanwhile, he also holds Manehattan and the Crystal Empire.
