Letters from an Evil Empress

They're Swarmin' All Over

Dear Twilight Sparkle,
 
Ahhhhhhhh, that was definitely quite the sight greeting me when I arrived in Ponyville, wasn’t it?
 
I can only wonder what might have happened prior…
 
Oh, no, wait, ha, it would be hilarious if I didn’t have any idea what had happened, but, I have ways of making pretty good guesses, definitely, especially considering that little parade that Pinkie Pie led.
 
You tried to deal with something you didn’t understand, but, had frequent misunderstandings with the pink one, and, then ended up attempting to solve things with a magical spell, only for it to ultimately go wrong, forcing Pinkie to save your flank at the very last moment.
 
...Siiighhh. Twilight, I know you’re still fairly new to Ponyville, but, still, you need to think things through, and not just randomly assume something. For example, ‘Why does Pinkie Pie need insert instrument here? Is she being random, or has she experienced something like this before? Has she mentioned them by name, and, therefore, might know just how to fix this problem, before the Empress arrives today, and, I look like a total moron for not trying to get what was going on before?’
 
...Granted, maybe I’ve been putting too much pressure on you. Even the apprentice of the Empress needs some break from the heavy stresses of her job. But, don’t forget to try and listen to her first, alright? Even if she does sound a bit odd.
 
I’d maybe threaten you with a potential punishment, but, that might not be the best for either of our interests in the long run. I’m just going to have to look for certain nobles and others who publicly disdain me enough to have my fun with~
 
Oh, and, be warned, this is, uh- These Parasprites may be the result of a mad wizard’s experiments.
 
Yep, definitely a wizard.
 
Listen to the Weird One More,
 
Empress Daybreaker
 
'Why did the last part seem so suspicious', you ask, my dear sister?
 
...Because I was the one ultimately responsible for the decision to make the Parasprites.
 
Don’t act so surprised! Equestria has many enemies! Sometimes, I need to have more to threaten them with than just threats about burning their cities and villages down.
 
...Because the stupid wizard directly responsible for creating them wasn’t able to figure out how to contain them, that’s why. But, this is definitely becoming a visible problem, so, I’ll have to ultimately deal with these pests soon, once and for all...
