My dearest Twilight,
While it would be perfectly lovely to have you in Canterlot once more, I have another option in mind much closer to Ponyville.
See, after hearing your very laborious and long-winded request to look at every single text in every single library in Canterlot and the forbidden tomes, even the one known to eat faces upon opening it, I realized you were quite serious about looking into this lockbox. Probably far too much for your own good, but I know that once something catches your interest to the point of making this kind of request, it's difficult to get you back to ground level without waving Smarty in your face, or in extreme cases, using a laser pointer.
Anyway, I checked my library, your old one, and Starswirl's archives. I even had Luna sort through hers and asked the Royal Canterlot Librarian to sift through the records on anything that might have been submitted on the Tree of Harmony and its origins.
Fruitless endeavors, I'm sad to say. We found absolutely nothing beyond a small recognition of the tree in a history book about it being the original host of the Elements of Harmony, but that's all. My field researchers may have the balls to get up close and personal with dragons, but they mysteriously vanish the moment they hear the word "Everfree."
That's where my other option comes in. As you know, the ancient castle that I once shared with Princess Luna lies mostly in ruins, deep in the Everfree Forest. But if you look carefully, you may find a book that could prove helpful to your research, hidden somewhere in what's left of the castle library.
Key word: "may." There is no guarantee, but the texts that remain there are far older than what's on record here, so it's your best shot for looking into that lockbox.
Heed my warning: Luna and I never got around to disabling some of the trapdoors and secret passageways built into the foundation and first floor, so you might encounter a few hazards as you explore the castle. Don't ask me why we put in so many--it's a long story involving a short-term plan to dispose of dissident nobles that backfired heavily once we discovered we couldn't just treat them like trash, even if they treated others that way.
Barring that, if you're still determined to look into this box, then by all means, raid the remnants of the castle. Just make it out in one piece and respond once you're out of there.
Best of luck,
Princess Celestia
Luna, could you come in here for a moment? I have a question.
Now, it's normally not my business to ask about your spending habits, but may I ask exactly why you bought ten thousand Lunacanes?
Don't tell me you didn't! Your signature is right here on the order form! You even bought a giant stuffed Ursa Minor sitting in the giant crate I put in the throne room! It even made realistic growl noises!
Look, I don't care if you ordered these or not, I signed for the delivery, and these things have your face and name all over them. This is YOUR problem to deal with, not mine.

This thoroughly amused me, good job!
Lunacanes!

Hail to the cane, baby.

Hmm. Has Discord been forging Luna's signature? Well, the Night Guard can have some cool-looking cudgels.
Why do I get the feeling that Twilight stopped reading right after Celestia told her about the old books in her and Luna's old castle and began planning her expedition to find them, and that she completely missed the part where Celestia mentions the old castle is filled with anti-noble traps?
I can just see Celestia moving a laser pointer around, and Twilight jumping all over like a cat trying to catch it, her wings occasionally fluttering and the tip of her tongue poking out the side of her mouth with a determined look on her face. Hours of fun there.
Twilight should write celestia a letter about why she left books back at her old castle.
Couldn't help but laugh at those chapter titles!
Next episode's the Daring Do one... it ought to be interesting to see how this affects Equestria's number one princess
Further proof that ponies are part cat.
Ten thousand Lunacanes?
Give them to the Pink abomination.
A giant Stuffed Ursa-Minor with realistic growling noises? Maybe Trixie would enjoy it's company?
The line that made this letter for me is this:
Echoes of Trollestia?
Ah, such a dwarven way of dealing with nobles and possibly cats.
5853671 Especially nobles. Cats you turn into an industry. That kitten leather is mighty fine you know.
Hehehe lunacanes
5853671 Hey! Cats are awesome! Dogs are gross... I should know, I have one of both.
5853326 I've seen no evidence of Ponies acting anything like horses except for eating hay. If anything, Ponies are cat people in tiny little horse bodies.
5853893 Really? My dog is stupid, and my cat thinks he's a dog. I think he's unsure in his felinicity.
5853986 My cat is very sure in his cat-ness. He's the alpha of the neighborhood, and scares the crap out of all the neighborhood dogs. It's really funny to see them running down the streets with their tails between their legs from a fluffy little cat like him. I'm pretty sure he could take Opal in a fight! My dog survives by pretending he's a cat too.
Lol. Lunacanes.
5853326 Yep, Yep! And why they adore tummy-rubs and cuddles.
5853141 That was exactly the image I got too. So cute!

I love how people like you apparently think that if a person finds even one tiny thing they disagree with, then they can never ever get any enjoyment from it ever again.
In fact, I'm fairly certain I made it clear in my comments that I enjoy the story. The only problem I had was the fact that the story (at that point) hadn't been clear just how much of an alternate universe this was. It made it sound like Celestia (and by extension, the author) was doing things like blaming Rarity for being kidnapped, among other things. After talking with the author about my concerns, I learned that the intent was to show that pretty much all the ponies (especially the Mane 6) are basically parodies in this world, except the perspective being from Celestia (who is much more snarky here) made it hard to determine if her complaints about them were true, or just her bias. That's why he had Luna mention the Mane 6 doing something stupid, to act as a clarification that this is truly an AU.
So, why am I still reading? Because I like it.

Well, there are all kinds of neighs and snorts, "pawing at the ground", and so on. Plus they aren't nearly mean enough to be cats.

...and I can imagine Twilight going all sciencelific on the laser. Measuring wavelengths, diffracting, reflecting...

So that's the reason I've been seeing all those "How to Distract/Entertain A Pony" memes floating around Facebook lately! Is Pinkie assigned Multiversal clean-up duty again?
5853671 Clearly not. She never got around to just incinerating them in the sun, or better yet, a volcano.
