Once Eve had left he got out a letter and a pen and started to write what he could not express in words of what he wanted to say to her, and once he was done he set it down on the pillow for Eve to fin later, and with any luck it would, and the letter and message it contained was as follows.
Eve, this letter is for you and you alone, it has what I cannot express to you in spoken words, and I hope and pray and have faith that you will find it and read it, I wanted to thank you for your help too, you were the only pony I ever started to like, maybe the only one I could love, it was you that I thought of when no one else seemed to care, you were always the one to hold me and keep me from falling, and I can never forget you, even my promise and word seemed weak to me at times, even your older brother Quentin seemed weak at times, sure I thought of both, and they were strong, but not as strong as the thought and memory of you, that one thought and memory of you could have kept me going across all the lands of Equestria to find that flower, it could have kept me going even past these lands, it would have kept me going until I was past the point and brink of death, perhaps even further beyond that point, I could, and would die with the thought of you in my head, and even suffer pain to keep your memory in my thoughts and ideas and head. I know that you may not love me, and perhaps you never will, after all, you did confess your love of the Doctor to me openly, and so now I only deem it fair and equal to do so with you.
I do not mean nor wish to hurt your feelings or make you choose, but know that I will always be there for you, even if I will not stand by my word or promise to others, or even to your older brother Quentin, I will always stand by your side to keep you safe by protecting and serving you, you will always be the first one that is above all others, when all else is lost, you will be there in my thoughts and head, and you will guide me and help me, and even if you are a pony of few words, I know that you will speak to my heart and mind, and guide me to the right path and way, and so I thank you with all my heart and mind.
If you need me I will be at Princess Twilight Sparkle’s Tree house, but I would advise you not to follow or come to me, or your brother, or your family, I must speak to the Princesses first, all four of them, I need my last words with them before I leave this town, and before you question why let me tell you the reasons as to why I am leaving this town, and my family, and your brother, and you.
I need to find my true purpose in life, I may have done a brave and noble act of honor, but I do not think that is all I must do, I feel I have to discover something else, the missing part deep down inside of me, and I also must find the reason as to why there were crystal flowers in the Everfree forest, the seeds of the flower do not migrate, it was a genetic trait we put in the flowers to ensure they survived and would not be lost, we didn’t want them to wander off, we wanted to know where or perfect and elusive traps were, and I have a feeling that some pony must have planted those seeds there in the forest on purpose, and I must find that pony, I intend to use the magical compass I gained from Zecora to follow my heart’s and mind’s desire, I don’t know where it will take me, so you would be wise to not try and follow me, anyhow I thank your family and brother and most of all you for all that you have done for me, and having faith in me.
I would never have believed in myself or had faith in myself, or maybe even kept my word or promise if it were not for all your family, brother, and you have done for me, I don’t know what would have happened had never come along at all.
I don’t think anyone could tell, but I do know this one thing for sure, I will always remember your memory and actions and words, as well as your brothers and family, and I don’t think I could ever forget even if I wanted to.
Sincerely with all my heart and mind, one true friend and a lover, Chris
