Half-Arc of Letters to give you poor bored people something to do · 2:10pm Mar 23rd, 2020

Going ahead and posting the four chapters I have of Letters in the queue one per day so you have something to read while bored. Since the last posting on this was a year and a half ago, it may behoove you to go back and re-read from Chapter 80 of Letters, but if you want, I’ll give you a quick run-down of the pertinent plot points below the break, and a snippet out of an uncompleted chapter (spoilers apply)

In this arc:
-Princess Luna is pregnant the conventional way
-Princess Celestia is pregnant in a most unconventional way
-Discord is free. And no, he’s not responsible for the above two points (really, I’m shocked you would think so)
-Discord has set three tasks for Monster
— Extremely Pregnant Princess Cadence is missing
— Starlight Glimmer is about to launch her Harmonizing effort on Canterlot
— Trixie’s husband is about to become griffon lunch in the Frozen North

I was going to call this section Tempest Rising, but I restrained myself. I didn't restrain myself when writing the following bit for somewhere in the sixth or seventh chapter of this arc:

Waves of pegasus carriages spread across the sky, glittering golden and white in the evening sun like an immense hammer above the ancient castle of the griffons. Below, the windows and doors of the aerie swarmed with griffons boiling out much the same way a kicked anthill might behave, although the griffons continued gathering in clusters on the castle’s roof as if they were counting the number of Royal Guard arrayed against them and wondering just where Celestia had gotten all of them.

The commander of the Equestrian invasion force stood tall in her own chariot, looking down at the milling griffons with a sneer. Her dark armor gleamed against the sun in a fashion far different than the gold of the Equestrian guards, but just as effective against claw or spear, and her long horn glowed softly with the violet glow of powerful magic. Griffon eyesight was sharper than any pony, and it was a fair tossup whether the griffons remained ground-bound due to the enormous number of armored Equestrians, or the sheer impossibility of their leader.

“Griffons of the Misty Mountain Aerie!” thundered the lead unicorn’s voice across the mountain with enough power to shake the stones of the ancient castle and make the trees tremble on the mountain slopes. “I am Commander Tempest Shadow, and I am here to receive your unconditional surrender in the name of the Storm King. We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way.” A cruel smile spread across Tempest’s face, and she reached one foreleg over to lay it across the trembling shoulders of the small alicorn standing by her side. “Either way is fine with me.”
