He managed to find Siltstone sitting at a table with a bunch of books surrounding her.

"Hey, Siltstone. You wanted to see me?"

She looked at him, holding a book.

"Yes I did. Does this look familiar to you?"

She showed him a picture of an alicorn.

"Yeah. This is exactly what I saw in the cave. Who is it?"

"An old alicorn called Minty Lavender. It says here, 'Minty Lavender, the successor of Luster Dawn, was the last known alicorn ruler of Equestria. She was never able to find a true princess to take over as ruler, so she retired and left the citizens of Equestria to make their own decisions. When she did, she locked her magic up somewhere, hoping one day that a true leader would one day find it when it was necessary. If this magic was found, then whoever claims it would be the most powerful pony ever. But it can only be acquired by someone who has suffered through loneliness and must have a loss in their life. Then, have a group of five friends that are not so much alike.' I think you might be the one that it refers to. Because you have been alone with the loss of your sister and now have a group of friends."

Jollybaker thought about this for a moment before saying something.

"But it says a group of five friends. I only have four. You, Appleworm, Sonic Boom, and Blue Diamond. Who's the other?"

"I do not know. But I am certain that you are the one that is meant to find this magic when it is necessary. I guess it's not time to find it. In the meantime, I think we should continue to look for your sister."

"But we have looked in the Crystal Empire, Griffinstone, the Castle of the Two Sisters, the Everfree Forest and all the other old old places, and have found no sign of her at all. Where else can we possibly look?"

She pulled out another book.

"Right here, of course. The one place that has not been touched in a very long time. Not even the old alicorn princesses of the sun and moon have been in there. The legendary land of Glitterhoof."

"Sounds promising. We must leave as soon as possible. The sooner, the better."

She closed the books up and put them away.

"Agreed. I have already told the others. I will meet you there at the border of the Graffoldine Forest. Believe it or not, the way there is not too far away from the cave you found. But it is very hard to get to."

"Ok. I'll meet you there but why can't you just come with me?" He looked at her with a confused look.

"Because I will have to go get someone to help out with the forest. And he would not be willing to help if I showed up with you."

She walked away before Jolly could say anything else. He had no choice but to trust her on the matter so he headed toward the forest.
