A letter to a higher power.

[sunraising]

My dear mun,

It's perfectly normal to have reservations. But you must ask yourself: are you ever going to be more ready than you are right now? There is such a thing as overcorrection, and it's good that you're being more cautious about rushing in blindly, but perhaps you're overdoing it?

And if you're worried about the other ponies, don't be. Leave them to me, and if they disappear — well, I believe I could get along in a place like that on my own, don't you?

Sincerely yours,
Princess Celestia.

Oh! Greetings, sister! Having mundane troubles?

[sunraising]

Hello, Luna.

I wouldn't call them 'troubles,' necessarily. She just needs a bit of encouragement, like any other filly.

Have you been well?

[royal_moonrise]

Ah, of course. Mundanes do tend to need that quite often. Ours does, at least.

... Well, we were doing quite well until he made an appearance.

[sunraising]

... 'He?'

You don't mean— Discord?

[royal_moonrise]

Indeed.

Fortunately, t'is only temporary.

[sunraising]

I should hope so. He's being dealt with, then?

[royal_moonrise]

Yes. Some of the residents of the place that had not fallen to his trickery have a plan in motion.

[sunraising]

I wish you all the best of luck, sister.

[dashingrainbow]

Princess! It's so good to see you!

[sunraising]

Rainbow Dash. How are you? Have you been anywhere interesting lately?

[dashingrainbow]

[Dash nodded] Yeah, a lot of crazy places. Do you want to hear a letter about a few things I've learned?

[sunraising]

I would love that. [ Celestia settles in expectantly. ]

[dashingrainbow]

Dear Princess,

I have been traveling all over a place called Somareium. There are lots of strange creatures there and tons of odd things happen. I've learned that not everyone knows what I do, or comes from the same kind of place. It's frustrating to have to explain yourself all the time, but there are tons of things I get to learn from them when I do. It's important to give people the time and energy it takes to introduce yourself properly and answer their questions, because you'll get the same in return when you do.

You're faithful flier, Rainbow Dash

Ahaha I apologise in advance

[godly_trap]

[You hear that? it's a somewhat girly squeal from not far off. Running might be a good idea.]

Oh, you are adorable! [And then there was a human(?) clinging to Celestia's neck as if she were a stuffed animal.]

l o l, it's fine

[sunraising]

[ Celestia looks that direction, but not in time to get away. She braces her hooves just before the human latches on. ]

Why... hello, there. [ She sounds incredulous, but not alarmed. There's even a little chuckle in her voice. ]

And who might you be?

[godly_trap]

[Give him a sec, he's just going to fawn over OMIGAWD, SUCH A PRETTY PONY. Once he's composed himself, however, he'll back off and answer with a flourish and a bow.]

I am Kazegami, dear. And you are the most adorable creature I have ever laid eyes on~ [He also may be a tad biased because PONY]

[sunraising]

[ Celestia dips her head politely in return, and in gratitude. ]

Thank you. I am Princess Celestia.

He wants to hug all the ponies

[godly_trap]

[He bows low at the waist as well, paying his respects.]

Please forgive my earlier enthusiasm, Lady Celestia, I simply couldn't help myself~♥ [Because he saw a miniature horse and that is the most adorable thing ever to the wind/horse god.]

[doublethefun]

[there's a yawn as a light-blue filly stretches from her nap and then blinks sleepily at Celestia. Have you always looked that way or is she still dreaming?]
