Every time Twilight Sparkle tries to read something, headaches come. Cringes worthy of speaking twist her mind. They are an absolute torture for her because she can't do anything against them. She can't study, she can't read and worst of all, she can't prepare for anything princess Celestia will be throwing at her.
Spike is having more than enough of it all and makes the wise decision to call in help from the outside. But the problem is, that there are only rumors of something called 'a shattering of minds'. Though one mind in the land, knows exactly what it is. Twilight's mentor, princess Celestia of Equestria.
Is the unicorn able to save herself, or is her knowledge her too dear?

I am having no idea how this idea came to a stand, but it was something sitting for quite the long time in my 'work in progress' folder while it was done for so long.
