Dear Twilight Sparkle

Today, I am writing to you, or to put it more accurately I’m having a scribe transcribe my thoughts to paper,  from the infirmary, reflecting on a lesson learnt about friendship. I suppose even Luna and I still have some things to learn despite our age. Over the past few days, as you may have learned from articles in the newspaper, my sister and I engaged in a battle of steeled visual determination over an object of corruptible albeit delicious value. There was no real winner as we are now both hospitalized with bandages wrapped around our eyes. It will be some time before we can resume our duties with the sun and moon, though our current condition does not interfere with us meeting with our subjects. Various medicines have allowed the pain to be subdued enough for us to continue such obligations.

As of this writing, I am attending to the need of my subjects giving out justice where it is most appropriate. I suppose there is some irony in that statement seeing as justice is supposed to be as blind as I am now. I did however lose a wager in the heat of our skirmish and am now wearing some attire inappropriate for somepony as myself. Fortunately for me, we’re both unable to see how demeaning I must appear so the entire prospect was lost on Luna even though she bested me.

The point of the message being is to not get carried away with petty fights. It’s ok to argue with your friends and relatives once in a while as it will only boost your relationship further when the issue has been resolved. If you get carried away, pardon my expression, you might both get burned. Do not try to be so overly demanding that you cannot see the trouble you might put yourself through won’t be worth the effort it expends.

Your Eternal Mentor

Dear Twilight Sparkle

The next time you’re in a staring contest, bring a fully charged personal music device and plenty of fluid to keep you from quitting due to natural functions. My wounds were not as severe as my sister’s so I was able to view her rather… risqué costume while she’s appealing to her subjects. I reccomend you come visit post haste as you may never have the opportunity to enjoy such a comical sight. Don’t speak of this to her, but she has yet to find out my condition has been cured. We’ll remove bandages in unison in four days’ time.

Your Regent of the Night

P.S. I’ve sent you a muffin called “Bliss”. It’s absolutely delectable.
