//------------------------------// // Friendship is not as important as me - Part 2 // Story: Letters from an Evil Empress // by zackepic22 //------------------------------// Dear Twilight Sparkle,   Gotta admit, you did a pretty good job there, weakening Nightmare Moon like that! Now, I know you might be somewhat upset that you hadn’t changed her back completely to what she used to be. I mean, it is very odd that the Elements of Harmony don’t seem to be at full power just yet. Really, I haven’t the faintest idea how that could be! Honestly!   But, anyway, it was a very nice parade. Most of the ponies were cheering for me the whole time! And, the rest soon followed, after I turned the peasant who threw the Tomato at Nightmare into ash. Why, they even began cheering for Nightmare right after! I’m sure she’ll appreciate that, and, I appreciate that she will, for reasons that I just cannot explain to even my dearest pupil~   Although, after the parade, I realized that you may have noticed a certainnn...Spot on my face. Well, let me go ahead and make sure that this clear as crystal to you, so that you may remain healthy for years to come.   The black eye I got? It. Was. Nothing.   Really, I probably just accidentally slept on the ink fountain, that’s all! And, if you try to say it is much more than that, please try and remember who your greatest teacher is, and why you should only be focusing on your own beeswax…   Oh, and, on another note, Nightmare’s already fitting in pretty well here in the castle in Canterlot! Why, she’s already gotten most of our servants referring to her as ‘Your Majesty’, instead of ‘Vile Moon Spawn’! And, I’m sure that with time, all of the smart ones will refer to her just as the former, before certain actions have to be executed…   ...Oh, and, you and your five new allies-I’ll call them ‘friends’ when I actually think they deserve it, not just because a few magic rocks thought they did-will be giving your new elements to me for safekeeping as soon as possible. Why? Well, to be perfectly, I don’t trust any of you not to try using the Elements for your own kicks. I consider these incredibly powerful gems, and, they will not be played with by you six. Submit them to my immensely secured vault for safekeeping immediately, or I will have to consider it treason. And, I have so much fun with even non-lethal treason punishments~   You better give those elements to me right away,   Empress Daybreaker   P.S.: Tell Spike to come get his stinky, and incredibly smelly eggshell out from my closet as soon as he’s possibly able. Sure, it’s the highest compliment from a dragon his age, but, I’m going to have to use my strongest perfumes on this room, just to hide the smell before it gets too awful.   Ah, Sister, good, you’re here! I was just about ready to call you in for a talk.   Yes, this is regarding the new order of power. From now on, you’re the second highest power in the land. As long as you don’t do anything too obvious that I wouldn’t want you to, there’s no power higher than you, except for me.   Daily attempts to usurp me, and try and take me out for good? Why, there’s nothing I’d like more~ But, don’t forget, I have much more experience with this game than you do. Oh, and, about my eye-   ...No, you just got a lucky shot.   I’m telling you, you just got a lucky shot in, that’s all!   ...Well, whatever you’d like to think, Moony.
