You sigh in resignation. “If you’re positive there’s no other way.”
“I knew you’d see the logic in this decision. That’s why I brought you, and not North Star, or Heart Throb, or anypony else who thinks with their emotions. Sometimes you have to make hard choices… and I’m making this one for them. I won’t be there anymore, so I’m counting on you to be able to make the hard decisions for everypony from here on out. Goodbye, my friend.”
“Goodbye, Wind Whistler.”
There are tears in your eyes as you escape the temple. They’re still there as you use the Steinman to turn Porcina and her Raptorians into glass, and restore Dream Valley to its former glory.
