(Off-record)

Yes, all of this is rather strange. Many of the clues have been subtle, and it would have taken some close reading and thinking over the past few days to figure this out. I didn't plan to explain all of this at once, but here's what has been going on.


 * The Fillydelphia Phracturers are in the Crystal Empire for the roller derby. Spearmint even encountered a couple of fans during his time here. Remember the impudent teenager who wore a Phracturers jersey?


 * King Hrimfaxi, who fears that Doc Ock's invention will bring light and love to the entire world, has been trying to stymie his efforts. He is opposed to the progress which comprises Doc Ock's dream. Thus, he has been watching him with his crystal snowball, which he was seen using when Captain Orbit went to Nidavellir. As a result of these things, Hrimfaxi knew that the Sinister Six were coming.


 * With time to prepare, Hrimfaxi made sure that Shining Harmer would know of the danger to the princess by the time of the attack. Shining Harmer informed the guards that the villains were after the princess and volunteered to be a decoy Alicorn princess.


 * Meanwhile, the real Cadance is still nowhere to be found, which is why Spearmint is still wandering the streets of the city.

So, there you have it. The suspicious eastward trek was all the Windigo King's plan to keep Doc Ock away from his prize... Is this too much to take in?
