2nd Ballad: Love heals all wounds

[loveisabattlefield]

I don't know what happened earlier, but whatever it was, it was awful. I'm so sorry I couldn't help with what it was, but if anypony needs a shoulder to lean on, I can help with that! Or if you need healing, I can use my magic for that, too.

Whatever it is, I'll try to help as best as I can.

[Aww, Cadence]

That's real nice of you, Princess Cadence. I'm sure everypony here could use a good dose of love to make everything better.

[loveisabattlefield]

I hope so. After everything that's happened, I think it's just what they need.

How about you, Spike? Are you alright?

[huffythedragon]

I think so, too. And if that doesn't work, the holiday decorations will.

I'm okay. I got to safety so I wasn't infected with greed. [Because you know, that's bad]

[loveisabattlefield]

Oh that's right, the holidays are coming up, aren't they? We'll have to prepare for Hearth's Warming Eve...wait, they call it something else. What was it again...? (Thinking about it. She can't remember, though.)

I'm glad to hear that. That would've been disastrous. (Yeah, giant rampaging dragons do a little too much damage to everything.) What kind of infection was it?

[huffythedragon]

They call it Christmas here. But we can still celebrate Hearth's Warming Eve, too.

It really would. And it was...weird. Everypony way real sick, and then they started acting like...greedy or angry.

[doublethefun]

From what I gathered, 'twas a sickness that had originated from a similar castle in this realm.

[loveisabattlefield]

I see. So there's another castle that takes everypony from their homes?

[doublethefun]

'Tis but a ruin now; the sickness seemed to have killed everypony there.

[loveisabattlefield]

...was there no way to save them?

[doublethefun]

It doth seem as if they were not able to find and utilize the cures as we have.
