Prologue:
I can't sleep. My paranoia has overcome my bravery. Instinct drives me to act.
To make sure that the truth is told, regardless of what the Princess feels should be hidden from everypony, anypony.
I disagree. But why do I disagree? A few days ago, I wanted to forget it ever happened.
But I have to. I want to write this. I don't think I'll be able to sleep if I don't.
It would be going against who I am, or at least who I think I am, if I have any shred of dignity left in me. I needed to find out the truth then, and I never really did. I want to know the truth.
Even if the truth makes me want to die, even if it kills me, I want to keep looking for it. I need to know. I have to know. Everypony has to know. Everypony needs to know.
I am Princess Twilight Sparkle. And I have a story to tell.
I want to tell you this story.
It's about a little town called Seagift.
