Weeks passed. About a month of work, until Twilight found me a home. Apple Bloom was heartbroken when I left. I'd miss that fillie's attitude. I gave them all a hug of course. Big Mac took a minute to say bye, crocodile tears and everything. "I'll miss you a bunch, Big Macintosh! I'll come visit soon." A quick swipe of my wing and I was gone. I was almost a little disappointed. I would miss the Apples till the day I die.
A little house near the castle was where I'd reside. And get this! I was still apparently too dangerous to leave the place alone, so I had to be constantly guided back and forth by either guards or Twilight and her friends. Grocery stores, roller skating, all that crap. Can't I get any peace?
I opened my eyes.
It was mid morning by now. I slowly stretched out my arms, and stared out the window. Nope. I buried my face back into the pillows. Then the doorbell rang. I should have just stayed in bed, in retrospect. But curiosity got the best of me. There in the doorway was a black unicorn stallion with a brown and green Mohawk-mane. "Package for Periwinkle Blink?" I nodded, and smiled. The stallion handed me the package, nudging it through my door. "Man, you must have a great view of the castle from here." He remarked, as he took a clip board from his back pack. "Sign here."
"You aren't much for speaking are you?" He said, as I messily scribbled my initials.
"I can speak. But I'm not one for communication." I muttered, passing him back the clip board. "But just wondering, what does your cutie mark have to do with mail?" He stared at his flank.
"Oh, uh. Its just part time. I'm in charge of a library in Fillydelphia." He said. His cutie mark was a black circle with a camo green spy glass in front of it. I raised an eye brow, but looked down at his hoof. That was the first time I'd ever seen anyone put out their hoof for me to shake. I took it reluctantly, and sighed,
"See you around I guess. It nice to meet ya." He nodded and walked away. Now I could see inside the package...
I grabbed the scissors, and tore open the box. A lot of foam peanuts laid inside. But no puppy. I smirked and dug in, immediately finding a scroll of paper. Strangely, it looked already opened... I was shocked when I opened it.
Periwinkle Blink,
This is an urgent letter from Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight. We have been informed of your condition from a trustable source. And have come to ask you something of large importance. As you know, the Winter Festival of the Moon is taking place in Canterlot. Unfortunately, this source of your condition has also told us that there would be an attack on Canterlot while everypony is distracted.
What you are not aware of is the importance of your soul. As a Princess, you will encounter the strangest of beings. Including you human. Yes, I know what you are. How hard it was to grasp the meaning of your existence. Where was I? Yes, your soul. There is no greater importance than your life. A human soul possesses a component of raw, tangible love. Us pony's only possess a gastric form of love. Your form of love is so pure, so valuable. Not even the Great StarSwirl the Bearded could experience this love from his own family. Nor does Twilight know what you are. But with this love there is power, and weakness.
The last humans I encountered... were able to take this pure love from their soul, and use it with force of a nuclear bomb the size of Equestria. This was from their love for my dear sister. Their names were Tomas, and Jack. brothers, sent by your god. They, were the original ambassadors of Equestria to Earth. Were.
Jack and Tomas were killed in one of their battles against... the ponies wanting to sabotage our Festival. Tomas was never found. Tia didn't find another human. Until you came... And if you use your love to destroy these ponies, as the True ambassador from Equestria to Earth, this will come to an end. You too must live here till death, yes? I'm sure you can understand. It would mean so much to her, to see another human soul. So please us with your presence, anytime you please.
I trust you to make the right decision.
Princess Luna of the Night.
What a great way to start the soap opera that is this life.
As you could imagine, it took a lot for that to set in. I'd never even met the Princesses. When should I meet them? Am I fancy enough? Wait where did that come from... Anyways, it was hard to compensate on. But I stared at myself in the little desk/mirror thing at the foot of my bed. I looked horrible. Messy hair that looked like it was hacked at with a knife and fork, and my disturbing, pupiless white eyes were blood shot. It looked like I had teensy, red snakes slithering in my eyes.
After putting on a black scarf, I hurried outside. Two young looking guards sat guarding the porch. A mare and stallion. They followed me discretely. I was thankful, I'd get enough attention from my odd eyes. It was good to wander. I hated being locked up in my little house. But it gave me time to think. And to run into more trouble.
