//------------------------------// // Whispers of Truth // Story: Fractured Steel // by Serina //------------------------------// Dear Onyx, I hope this letter finds you well. Your words, filled with thoughtfulness and maturity, have been both a source of pride and a reminder of the bond that unites us. I appreciate your insights and observations, as they serve as a testament to your keen awareness of the world around you. The rumors of disputes among the Princesses are indeed concerning. While my role within the Royal Guard focuses primarily on the realm's safety, I am not immune to the currents of change that ripple through our land. It's unfortunate that such tension has emerged among those who have long represented unity and harmony. However, it's important to remember that even the wisest and most steadfast individuals can experience differences of opinion. I believe that the Princesses' shared commitment to Equestria's well-being will guide them through these challenges. Your observations about the nights growing longer and the stars dimming have not escaped my notice either. While I am not privy to the specifics of celestial mechanics, these changes raise intriguing questions about the delicate balance that governs our world. Princess Luna's role as the guardian of the night is indeed integral to maintaining that balance. Whether her well-being is directly linked to these shifts remains uncertain, but I share your concern for her and the broader implications of these changes. Please know that despite the demands of my duties, your thoughts and insights are deeply valued. It's clear to me that you possess a wisdom beyond your years, and I am grateful to have such an observant and thoughtful brother. As I navigate my responsibilities within the Royal Guard, I will keep an eye on developments that might provide clarity to the mysteries you've highlighted. In the meantime, take care of yourself and continue to approach the world with the same curiosity and thoughtfulness that have characterized your observations. Our bond remains unbreakable, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to exchange further insights and perspectives. With the sincerest of wishes, Your Brother, Bronze Armor
