Parlys: "There's nothing wrong with perfection, quite literally. Well, it seems like she got a little too big for her bridle. After I taught her most of what she would need to function as a civilized creature, she had a fit and escaped from the castle. Apparently, she did not appreciate her namesake..."

Princess Cadance: "You named her after Princess Amore too...?"


 * The professor finally rises from his seat and leans over to admire the black scimitar blade and all its intricate engravings.

Culture Shock: "This enormous, ornamental blade was given to me on an expedition of mine beyond Equestria, beyond even the western ocean... There are many strange lands out there, populated by all kinds of strange creatures, many of whom are unknown to all Equestria. For all my efforts, so little is known about them still... Ah, I digress."


 * He sobers up considerably as he recalls the circumstances that brought the blade to him.

Culture Shock: "It was in one of these strange lands that I came upon a village at the foot of a great mountain. Their history was a sad one. The indigenous people told me of a terrible general named Temoojin, whose marauders laid waste to their fields for years until his timely passing. Still, the battlegrounds from that time remained..."


 * He seems to zone out a little.

Culture Shock: "The trenches and the ramparts were a memento of the greatest evil they ever knew. The indigenous people feared Temoojin would rise from his grave—the location of which they did not know, by the way—and return to exact his vengeance upon his former conquests. For that reason, they thrust upon me what they believed to be the Sword of Temoojin, or at least part of it, so that it might be taken far from their peaceful village. I have been studying it since."
