Are you awake? I think I have it! It all makes so much sense now!
Argh! How could I have been so blind?! It’s been staring us in the face this entire time! I mean it’s so obvious! I checked the storm dates and there’s no mistake! I finally have a way to stop the Windigo, and this time nopony will get hurt!
DarkSparkle
Wait! Twilight, don’t!
CDI, Twilight! Why do you have to be like that! Haven’t you learned anything from the last time you tried to go on your own?!
InItForTheShipping
Answer me!

@LightSparkle: DarkSparkle has gotten herself in trouble again. :(
I’ve no idea what she found, but she’s convinced it will put an end to ten Windigo problem... again. She hasn’t changed a bit since she was a filly. Well, except that now she’s become even more reckless!
Sorry to PM you at such short notice, but I need all the help I could get. When can you come here?
InItForTheShipping
*yay* How did she manage to choose the worst possible time!?
I’m supposed to be keeping Blueblood safe... not to mention that Simile’s meeting with her dad didn’t go well and I had to drag her here as well. :( She’s been drunk or crying for most of the day. And I don’t even want to go into some of the local magic problems... which of course happen just as there are magic problems in Equestria.
What did DarkSparkle do exactly?
LightSparkle
Read up.
InItForTheShipping
Oh... well that’s convenient :/ I’m not the only one who’s vague in PMs. Did you tell Mom and Auntie?
LightSparkle
Luna is busy patrolling the skies most of the time, and Celestia is... well, to be honest I don’t know where she is exactly. She’s responding to her scrolls, but none of the PMs I’ve been sending. No luck with Starswirl either...
InItForTheShipping
Ouch :/
What about TrueSparkle? I know the girls are out and about trying to react to any new freezings, but she might be available. Last we talked she was at Twilight’s Castle. Let me see if she’s still there.
LightSparkle
Okay, she’s there, but sleeping. I got DaBoss to wake up Spike. TrueSparkle should be on in a few.
You know, DaBoss amazes me at times. Isn’t there any spell that can fix her eyes? I feel bad for her... I know she seems to take it well and live life to the fullest, but...
Hold a sec, I need to check on Blueblood for a moment.
LightSparkle
Do you know what time it is? :/ What’s so important? Is the Windigo expected to attack Ponyville?
TrueSparkle
The short answer is no. For the long answer, read the PM chain.
InItForTheShipping
Hold on.
TrueSparkle
That idiot! I hate it when she does such stuff! And she promised she’d tell me if she finds something. I really hate when she gets all secretive! I know she’s my mentor, but she’s also my friend and she should be able to trust me with such things!
TrueSparkle
Tell me about it. After last time, I’m even more worried. Not to mention the thing you and LightSparkle tried to pull off. Although, it was my bad there. I should have told you from the start, but DarkSparkle convinced me with her cold logic that I’d be increasing the risks.
Do you have any idea what DarkSparkle was reading? Maybe if we find out what she found we’d have an idea what she’s about to do.
InItForTheShipping
She’s going to the Crystal Empire.
EverSpike
Spike?
InItForTheShipping
Back.
Blueblood is still getting used to sleeping as a human, so I have to keep an eye every few hours so he doesn’t hurt himself too much. (And I most definitely don’t want to leave him with any of my friends here. When outside of the palace he behaves very differently and I’m afraid there might be consequences.)
LightSparkle
Well, she told me before she left. Told me to tell you when you woke up. I asked why she didn’t just write a note, but she said, no tie and flashed out of the palace.
Why, what’s up?
Edit: nevermind :/
EverSpike
She’s been going through the Sombra journals, as well as some historical tomes about the Crystal Empire. No telling what grabbed her attention. I could use a spell to read through all of then really fast, but will still take me hours.
Let me get some coffee and I’ll get on it.
TrueSparkle
If Twi is on her way to the Crystal Empire, can’t you just wait for her to get there? I mean, she was very specific when she told me she was going there. Maybe she’ll go see you before she faces the Windigo again?
EverSpike
I really don’t know, Spike. :( And I’m afraid leaving Shining and Flurry alone. If the Windigo attacks while I, gone I, not sure he’ll be able to hold it off alone.
InItForTheShipping
What about the Crystal Army? Can’t they do anything?
TrueSparkle
They are already spread thin. Remember, the goal is to protect Equestria, not just one family. Shiny and I combined should be enough to handle things at the capital. Meanwhile the rest of the Crystal Army are sent to Manehattan, Trottingham, Fillydelphia, and a few more cities.
InItForTheShipping
If I manage to deal with my local problem I’ll be there first thing. As I said, the timing is really bad. I don’t want something to happen while I’m gone, because there might not be anything back for me to go to. (Long story, though, not as devastating as the Windigo. Call it a Friendship+ problem.)
LightSparkle
Magic barrier breached. Must go.
InItForTheShipping
*yay*! The hay is hitting the fan in all sorts of ways! I’m calling the girls. Maybe they can deal with this without me.
LightSparkle
Don’t! There’s no point. I think I know what Twilight’s trying to do.
Ttyl
