In that case, after Venia comes out with Unyielding, we go to Ironfoe, drop off the letter to Mastersmith Narpa, I tell Deep Rock about his son's victory over Ebonreth, say he's finally growing into a stallion who can actually wear his armor properly, and then maybe ask if Ebonreth's gauntlets can be combined with axe blades. And then on the way back, get some edelweiss flowers for Ambrosia.

Pause. "If the one who cursed her was clever, they would have completely destroyed the memories like I did with the High King's secrets. As troubling as that would be, it's perhaps the least disturbing revelation yet."

Time travel! So she's from the future? This is good news. I knew that there was no way she could have seen others like Codar, she claimed to have seen, fought and destroyed a minion like codar but made of ponies. A necromancer called the reanimator, and a the minion called patchwreck

Good news? It means that she's going back to an Equestria where no one knows her. If she toys with history, she may prevent her own birth somehow! More importantly, why did they send her here?

Yeah, well.. relatively good news. It means that her story was from the future as well, that they don't really have such terrifying ability to kill necromancers more powerful and corrupt than we could hope to become in our life time.
But, you're right about her going back to a place no one knows her being a bad thing.. What if they take her as a threat and try to kill her? And how hurt she will be when that Empress she went on about doesn't even know her?
But what of the one who sent her back, would they not retrieve her before she does too much damage?

Stormheart.
The City of Peaks.
The promised roost of griffons.
West of Eaglecrest and Rockeye, it is a magnificent mountain range that borders the sea. Cold, sharp winds lash through it's valleys and across it's ridges. This is quite possibly the coldest and harshest of all the Northlands. And thus, perfect for the Gryphons, who are far hardier than ponies. Violent gusts of wind keep every flier alert, for a moment of missed concentration could lead to one becoming yet another stain on a jagged mountain wall.
And crossing the border is the High King and his inner circle. Sir Golden Oats had toiled day and night to ensure his creation was ready and serviceable. An invention inspired by one of the High King's allies.
Golem Wings.
Based on the same principals as the High King's leg, these machines will enable any who wear them to make long leaping glides, thus allowing them to traverse the roadless peaks.
High up in Castle Stormheart, Gryphon King Garret was wringing his talons, trying to think of a solution to his worries.
In her headquarters in the lower roosts, the Crowne, Grimalphas, was educating her followers on the virtues of a strong nation capable of surviving on it's own, independent of others.
And in a small box carried by Lord Godric Blackmane, the Eaglecrest Helm rested, awaiting it's return home.

"King Garret grows uneasy. He is backed into a corner, with food running low and the borders weakening. He showed interest in surrendering to the pony emperor, which greatly fanned the flames of Grimalphas' favor. The king then retreated to his palace and has refused to appear since.
Meanwhile, Grimalphas is on the move. She and her closest guards keep moving from roost to roost spreading their word. And she has eyes and ears everywhere now."

"Yes. Two in fact."
"Very well. We should head out at once then. Lead on."

"Right this way."

It started off so well. The magical energy concentrated within just became denser and denser. The Orb became as powerful as 3 regular orbs, then 6, then 9.
It was such an amazing sight, such concentrated raw power. I ignored the warnings of those who were there and just kept going, fueling it, making it stronger."
