I watched Frostbite smile a little and she gently placed a hoof on my arm, "Yes I am," she said softly. I felt myself smile and I launched myself out of the bed, hugging her. I didn't know her, I didn't know anything about her, but for some reason, this bit of information made me so happy that I couldn't control myself as I hugged her tightly. I pulled myself up so she could stand and she smiled, "Light Song, I know it's weird that I'm here and that I'm pretty much just walking into your life during a war, but I think you're going to need my help."

I stared at her and sat back down on the bed "What makes you say that?"

"Because this war is much worse than you think, during my travels I've seen so many things happening, the Griffins are rising up and there is going to soon be an attack on Ponyville again, but they're bringing help."

"From who? And why are they suddenly deciding to come at us again?"

She shook her head, "I have no clue, but from what I could tell they were getting help from the ponies who like Discord being in power, and also from some of the Changelings."

I bit my lip lightly and I sighed, "We're never gonna catch a break, are we?" I asked softly as I lay back on the bed, I winced as my wing got a little squished.

"From what I can tell at the moment no, we also have the fight against Discord and the Queen themselves."

I looked at her, "They're going to join in marriage soon," I said, her eyes widened.

"What? How do you know this?" she asked.

"A traitor to Discord told us."

"Who was it?"

"Trixie, she's unicorn that had been an apprentice to Crimson Coin, Discord's right hand man. She abandoned her position though from what I can tell."

I then explained to her the vision I had about Trixie and then explained the events that followed. She nodded silently and watched me as I continued to explain the situations that had occurred since then and everything prior to it so she was caught up on the events of the war from our point of view.

As I finished I looked out the window and saw cheering ponies, I released the force field and the Pegasi landed and we engulfed by the excited survivors of the attack, I smiled and sighed.

"Light," she finally said after a moment as Twilight reentered, "If Discord and Queen Chrysalis join in marriage, then then countries will be joined, and we'll have to kill both of them, won't we?" she asked softly as the others hurried into the room.

"Light Song! Are you okay?" Apple Jack asked, "When Twilight sent that projection thing saying that you were in the hospital with an injury we hurried right over," she explained. I smiled and nodded; I looked down and saw Crystal as she walked in at Fluttershy's wing. She looked bashfully up at me and bit her lip as she walked to my side and I watched Twilight smile brightly.

"She's been so worried about you, so Fluttershy brought her along," she explained as Twilight helped her onto the bed next to me.

"Why were you so worried about me?" I asked softly as I pulled her into my lap. She looked down as tears began to well up in her eyes.

"I-I don't wanna be alone again…" she whispered. I felt myself go numb, it had only just now occurred to me that technically me, Twilight, Toasty, and now Frostbite, were her only living relatives. I hugged her tightly to me and she began to shake and cry into my arms and I felt myself wanting to cry with her, but I tried desperately to contain it, a few stray tears managed to fall as I hugged her.

I wiped them away quickly and when I finally released her she remained in my lap, close to me. I looked at the others, "We have a problem though," I said softly as I patted her head, "The Griffins are making a comeback."

"What? How do you know that?" Fluttershy asked, she looked at Spike whose scars were still so prominent from the last attack from them.

I looked to Frostbite and she nodded before standing straight, "While I was up in Neighagra Falls I came across the remainder of the Griffin Army and found them consorting with Changelings and ponies. I heard them discussing a raid on Ponyville together and it's going to happen soon." She quickly explained as she began to pace, "I'm not sure when it's going to happen, they found out they were being spied on before they could disclose the information of the timing, but if we're not ready then the town is going to be attacked."

I looked down at Crystal who was still shaking a little, she looked up at me with small tears tugging at the corner of her eyes. I hugged her again before looking up at them, "We have to prepare the town, Twilight, go to the Mayor and tell her about the oncoming assault, Rainbow and AJ, go to the military base and help them finish it off, Pinkie you need to go with them to prepare for your duties as Captain of one of the ground squadrons, Rainbow, when your done would you be willing to help the air squadrons as Captain?" Rainbow nodded and I looked at AJ, "When your done go to the weapons factory and help get some weaponry done for the battle. I looked to Frostbite, "Go to Sugar Cube Corner and tell them to start Plan A, they'll know what it means." I looked at Fluttershy, "Go to the Everfree Forest and tell Zecora to gather the zebras to help us if they can, then bring some of your fiercer animal friends so they can help as well."

She whimpered but nodded once, "O-Okay…" her voice was soft, but it seemed more determined than usual despite her stutter.

"I will help as soon as I'm released from here," I explained.

"No, once you're done in here you're going to stay off your wing," Frostbite said forcefully, "I'll do what I can to cover up for you, once I'm done at Sugar Cube Corner I'll run to the base and help, then to the factory to help them."

"Take care of Crystal while you're in here," Twilight said softly, she looked at the young filly and I saw tears in her eyes.

Everyone began to leave but Twilight remained behind and walked over and hugged Crystal tightly. "She looks like him, doesn't she," I asked softly.

Twilight looked at me and nodded, tears now cascading down her face. "I wish I could see him again, I miss him so much. She then began to sob, "It's all my fault…I couldn't save them…"

I set Crystal aside and hopped off the bed and hugged her tightly, "Twilight," I said softly, "It's not your fault."

"Then why does everyone blame me?" she asked through her tears.

"Because that's what Discord wants, you can't lose faith in yourself, Shining Armor wouldn't want that. You're his sister, and he would love you no matter what, I'm sure he knew it wasn't you." I said softly.

"How do you know that?" she asked softly, looking up at me, her eyes were red from tears; I sighed as I could clearly remember that night before everything changed. I explained to her my nightmare, the nightmare that terrified me and told me that shit was going to hit the fan.

As she sat there watching me explaining to her, not in very large detail, about what happened, I watched sorrow turn to rage. She stood up and began to pace, her horn was sparking and Crystal whimpered frightfully and hid behind me. "Twilight, calm down," I said softly.

She looked at me, "Light Song, the was Crimson!" she shrieked in rage, "I will kill him! I will personally end his life! That bastard! That no good murderer!"

I looked down with a sigh and bit my lip, "I understand your rage, but you can't consume yourself with revenge, you will no longer be yourself." I said softly.

She looked at me and then at Crystal and I saw some of the anger fade from her face, "You're right, I won't get caught up with revenge, but when the time comes. I'm going to kill him."

She left the room and I sighed, Crystal was whimpering and I looked to her before crawling back up onto the bed. I laid down and allowed her to curl up beside me, I knew that they would kill me if I left the hospital, so I settled in for my stay and yawned softly, I was fairly tired, but knew that falling asleep was not okay for me, I needed to be awake for any updates. But as I laid there with Crystal Armor asleep beside me, I found myself drifting away into sleep.
