Description

Finest Hour - Card Number 90: Mentor's Guidance

Twilight gave Starswirl’s question some thoughts. She had been hearing voices… but why?

“You hesitate… is that a yes, Twilight?”

“Yes… I think. You are hearing them too, then?”

“We all do. The doctor have spoken with all of the others about it, we are all hearing strange things. But he could not tell me what had caused it. “Have to perform tests!” or something like that. What is he going to test us with out here? Rotten wood?”

“Well, at least he is trying.”

“That he is. But he is also tiring himself; we all need rest after what we have been through. You especially, I can see how you are struggling just to keep your head up.”

“I can sleep once this is over. I don’t need any sleep!”

“Your horn has already poked holes in several books from almost falling asleep on top of them. Imagine what you could do if you messed up a spell. One bad spell… Fwoosh… And we will all be gone for good. Like the skeletons.”

Twilight got up and looked angry at the elder.

“But we still need a cure for Fluttershy! Should I just leave her like that? NEVER! And I would never mess up a spell either. At least not intentionally.”

“Of course not… heh, you remind me of my younger self.”

“What do you mean?”

“Focusing on the most obvious problem, you ignore the others. Fluttershy might be incapacitated, but there is nothing you can do to help her now. Something like this happened to my own apprentice during the changeling incident, and I spent a lot of time, time I could have spent helping others, searching for a cure. When I finally realized it was a fool’s errand, I was alone.”

“I am sorry to hear that. But you could not have known that it would end like that.”

“Of course not, but we can still learn from my mistakes. That way we can avoid repeating them. You are most likely the most powerful of us, and if we can’t rely on you…”

He didn’t finish the sentence.

“Are you saying that all this relies only on me?”

“Not necessarily, but are we willing to take that risk?”

“No… I can’t do that.”

“Good. You better get some rest, then. And let me borrow that book. Just in case you missed something important.”

I'd run 4 of these. Such a great card advantage spell.
