Goldenheart has slunk back to her lab and paces in her room. She has laid Strongheart down on her bed and taken the invisibility spell off...the purple portal swirls behind her and...a shadow skirts across it, then vanishes. Neither of them notice it.

GH: "What should I do, Uncle?"

SH: "Well...you're asking the wrong pony for a plan. But I say that you fix my paralysis, find Levi and Nettledew, and fight that zebra ourselves!"

Goldenheart shakes her head. "No dice on that one. We won't win that fight."

SH: "Why not? The only reason he got in your mind was because you weren't prepared for it."

GH: "That's just it, it doesn't matter if I am or not. He isn't using magic, he's using suggestions. Wants, dreams, insecurities, he targets them all. What he said to me...the power he offered...I couldn't shake it. I still can't. Part of me wants to follow his wishes and become his queen. It wants that so bad...It takes every ounce of my will to not submit to it. And this is while I'm away from him."

SH: "Well...then we go to plan B. Give the glaive to him."

GH: "Glaive wouldn't just hand it over."

SH: "You'd be surprised by what Glaive will and won't do. He's strange. Puts up with mess of a mother of yours. He might help us in your plight."

Goldenheart ponders this. "Maybe...but then what? We're just giving the zebra what he wants."

SH: "You have to play his game. Otherwise, we will never beat him...maybe you should talk to Levi about it."

GH: "R-right."
