“You underestimate my abilities,” Vinyl said, causing laughter among you both, until Vinyl had a coughing fit, that normally set things to a serious tone again. You went closer to Vinyl, leaving about two feet in between your faces, (if they are ponies, would HOOVES be a measurement?http://djh-arrow.tumblr.com/post/48323164024/im-not-sure-what-to-think-about-this) you didn’t want a word of what you were about to say to Vinyl being heard by another ear, any false hopes could be accepted by Vinyl, but her fans? not so much.
“I may have found it,” you spoke in the slightest of whispers, “Reading through those endless texts on medical spells, I may have found how to save you.”
“You.... you didn’t have to do that...” Vinyl was obviously surprised, she must have just thought this was a normal visit after a vacation earlier, but now that she knows, she seems to have brightened up, you just hope that this works.
“Anything for a friend,” you continued, “you already know that the bullet you were hit with had a long term enchantment on it, but what we didn’t know was what it was,” Vinyl seemed to be paying enough attention, so you continued, ”It was a life spell, one described to literally drain the life of a pony, made in the days when Sombra ruled over the Crystal Empire. Sombra had wanted to make an irreversible spell, one that permanently got rid of any enemy, no matter how strong, with the one thing that can destroy buildings, break walls, and can’t be stopped,” the word spilled through your mouth like a curse, muttered behind the back of a king, “time.”
“So that’s it? time is my enemy?” Vinyl said, as confused as I expected, so I explained.
“The spell manipulates the purpose of time, willing it with darkness to drive the soul from the body, like death. although it isn’t exactly the same, it’s about as close as he could get while staying within a G audience,”
“well... this doesn’t sound promising...” Vinyl stated rather plainly.
“that’s because I’m not done speaking yet. During the usurping of king sombra off of his throne, one of Princess Celestia’s royal scientists did everything in their power to find a cure for the terrible spell, and what she came up with was a flower, the reaction to create the flower absorbed her soul, the Princess hid the whole thing so that no pony would meet the same fate. It only grows on the highest mountain in all of Equestria,”
“Canterlot Mountain,” Vinyl said in astonishment “a magical city resting at it’s base, it is truly an amazing sight,”
“From afar, but my research found climbing it is going to be terrible, there is a certain point on the mountain that the pressure becomes so great that magic becomes literally impossible to perform,”
“this is suicide, you can’t do that without help!” her doubt caused a grin on your face.
“oh, but to the contrary, I have you, in spirit.” she smiled, seemingly convinced.
“alright, looks like you have a mountain to climb, *cough* and fast.”
