chapter 4

(Once again, Good Sky Runner, we are eternally grateful for your amazing speech writing skills, and for thy help in all matters in our court, great and small. We are saddened by the fact that you cannot be by our side at the cloudsdale speech, but we did warnest thou to watchest where thou were going. We doth hope for your speedy recovery... and the return of your mane and coat to thier normal color. Seest thou after the speech... and wishest us luck!)

Good Pegasus of Cloudsdale! We wisheth thee a good evening, and hope that all is well with you and your kin. We doth stand here before you this night, on the fourth stop on our royal speaking tour of goodwill, to let you know that our affection and goodwill goes with you... our good Subjects! As we hath spoken in the cites and towns of Eqestria on the ground below, so now do we cometh high above the clouds, to speakest to all of you here. Your Princess is overjoyed that you have tured out to hear, that which we havest to say.

We are most pleased by you, and the hard work you carry out for Pony Society. It is you who toils endlessly in the skies across equestria, creating the weather that keeps the cogs and wheels of the natural world running. It is you, that Provideth our great nation with the rain that nourishes the crops. It is you who bringeth on the sushine that doth warm ponykind on a bright summer's day. And it is you who provideth us with the beautiful rainbows that stretcheth across the sky after the rains have gone. Without your aid, the weather and seasons of Equestria would most surely fall into chaos.

Good folk of Cloudsdale, we are well pleased with the trove of gifts the elite of thine city hath given us, in honor of our visit. Of particular interest was a golden abacus, with which counting and mathematics of the higher numbers can be achieved. This gift is very pleasing to your princess... who hath turned yon device over to the royal treasurers, who handle most of the financial aspects of our court. Such a tool would be of far better use to them, who work with advanced mathmatics on a daily basis, rather than myself. Nevertheless, we are grateful for the giving of thine gift.

We were also grateful for the tour thy peagsus workers gave to us of thine weather factory. We are mightily impressed with thy modern methods of manufacture of weather. Your factory beith both effective and efficient, though they are nowhere near as grandiose or spectacular as our storm forge of old. It was a pity that work in the factory was at a low ebb during the nighttime, for we wouldst have like to hath seen the making of rainbows and storm clouds, when work was in full swing.

Also to our amusement was the first annual night fliers competition, an event that was the suggestion of our most faithful Chamberlain. It pleased us to see Pegasus fliers, their wings illuminated by Unicorn magic created bio luminesance, light up the night sky in dazzling patterns. And the grand finale by the wonder bolts, did shine forth in a manner that would not have been possible during the daytime. I dare thy daytime flyer competitions to beith as grand!

However, it hath come to our attention that we must apologize for our most helpful, but most clumsy, Chamberlain. Sky Runner did unfortunately fall into one of thy rainbow pools during our royal tour of the factory. He unfortunately cannot beith here tonight, as he is getting his now-multicolored mane and coat cleaned at the local spa. We are eternally grateful for all the work that who doith for our court, setting our royal schedule, and taking out of our hooves the day-to-day headaches of running the nocturnal bureaucracy.

We are compelled to thanketh our Pegasus guards of our Nightwatch, many of whom beith natives of your very own Cloudsdale, and are even now visiting with friends and loved ones during our stay here. Be not surprised by their bat wings and transformed appearance. They are now powerful and loyal servants of the night, aiding your princess in her task of brining darkness to the skies of equestria. It is they who pulleth our Night chariot across the evening skies, and serve as our royal guards, during our visits throughout our Equine dominions. We doth greatly appreciate their undying loyalty and devotion to our royal person.

Do not overlook the importance of the night, good Pegasus of cloudsdale... or my court's importance to that night. For while the night may not be home to warm sunshine or beautiful rainbows, it hath it's own wonders to boast of. It is our Nightshaper Unicorns, who doth weave the tapestry of the stars and constellations. They doth stitch together the glittering beauty of the astral patterns each night, to light up the blackened sky. And it is our Nightwatch Pegasus corps who, as dusk turns to night, clear away the clouds, and spread the star tapestry across the sky. Amidst this nocturnal beauty does your princess raise the moon each night, complete the work of art that is the evening sky.

So, our dear pegasus, when thou lookest up towards the night sky before thy goest to thy slumber, sayeth a silent thanks to our night shift. They taketh over thy jobs as caretakers of the skies from sunset until sunrise, allowing all of you to sleep easy. The wind that passes over your city high above the ground at midnight, is your Princess and her servants, ensuring a calm and beautiful night for you to sleep through. And with that, my dear ponies, I bid you farewell. May the winds of fortune ever be under your wings!

I really don't know what to expect after all the "royal speaking tour". What will happen at the end?
I guess this is one of those stories that only exist just because.
5 stars all the way!
