Dear Gruff,
Greetings. It has been a while, hasn’t it? I’m sure that regardless of however much of a senile old catbird you’re pretending to be, that you’re still doing fairly well as both a conman, and a gambling ring operator. That is, assuming Griffonstone hasn’t gambled every last bit away. And, don’t worry, I’m still taking measures to make sure that word of Griffonstone’s sorry state never reaches the ears of the rest of the world.
Now, I want to talk with you about a few things. And, if you charge me 300 bits for a proper reply again, I will not only personally come to burn Griffonstone down myself, but, I will put up promotions, and sell tickets for others to see me do it.
Firstly, you’re the only still living griffon I’ve ever told about what was supposed to happen in regards to the Idol, Arimaspi, and Griffonstone throne. I hope you’re keeping it a secret. I don’t need pretend rich griffons to try marching up to my throne, and berate me about trying to install my own puppet king. It’s not like they would have any reason to care anyway, if they were still rich.
Seriously, you better be keeping that a very tight-beaked secret, unless you want to find out what happened to Gladstone…
Second, the old gambling ring. I’m hoping you still have a pretty firm grasp over that?
And, third, your granddaughter...I hope you’ll make sure that she doesn’t cause anymore trouble in Equestria in the near future, she like did with Ponyville very recently? Even if, of course, that’s just her having be influenced by your oh so gold craving town. Really, doesn’t anyone in Griffonstone have any decent skills to try and help making Griffonstone a town worth living in again?
And, fourth, I was thinking...Is there anyway I could, uhhhh, secretly support you without anyone finding out that’s not supposed to? I mean, there can’t be too many griffons that question ‘incredibly good fortune’ that much, right?
Anyway, be sure to get back to me as soon as you are able. And, don’t forget about my threat if you try to charge me for a reply…
Sincerely,
Empress Daybreaker
