Transcript:
> Princess Celestia: I'm sure you can extrapolate where this is all headed, Twilight.
> Twilight Sparkle: Tirek's gearing up to take alicorn magic.
> Princess Celestia: Precisely. And with Discord by his side, it doesn't seem likely that we will be able to stop him.
> Princess Luna: Unless the newest alicorn has a special trick that can stop this? We heard you made a major breakthrough in magic.
> Twilight Sparkle: We did, yeah, but… That's a lot to gamble the whole world on.
> Princess Celestia: It is. Which is why we've come up with another plan. A way to make sure that, at the very least, alicorn magic stays out of Tirek's hands, so that some hope will survive.
> Twilight Sparkle: …Why do I get the feeling that they're very pointedly looking at me when she says that?
> DM: Because they totally are.
