Description
Finest Hour - Card Number 17: Survey the Remains

There was a new meeting the following day. Various reports from scouts had to be assessed, as well as the information gathered by Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. The information gathered was fed into the computer, and uses to create a large-scale map of Equestria, with known placements of invaders. Luna began to explain:

“One of the first things of note is that neither Fluttershy nor Rainbow Dash saw any animals when patrolling yesterday. No manticores, no ursas, no hydras. Not even timber wolves. Nothing.”

Twilight was very quick to pick up what could be happening.

“It could be that the invaders have taken them away, for whatever purpose they want. To prepare for a bigger battle, perhaps?”

Luna continued her train of thoughts.

“That is indeed a possibility. But until we know where they are, or if they are hostile, we have to assume the worst.”

She made the computer zoom in on a plain some distance from Canterlot.

“Rainbow also told me, that she felt a strange static in the air around this place, but would not find anything, other than a large, carved glyph in the ground, which her and I assume is the cause. I had Twilight do some research on the glyph, based on Rainbow’s description, and from the looks of it, someone has made a mana focus in that place, gathering magic energy from the air. It is possible, that this is where our enemy will bring in reinforcements from; so we should find and destroy that focus immediately. Other than that, the few free cities that remain have been located, and the final supplies and evacuees are being airlifted here as we speak. But you found something else, didn’t you, Rainbow Dash?”
