//------------------------------// // Dear Cadence, // Story: The Summer Sun Incident // by Zaid ValRoa //------------------------------// I don’t know how long it'll be until the news of what happened reaches you but I’m writing right away to let you know. Twilight had an accident, they still don’t know what happened, but as soon as we got Spike and her out of the rubble we had her sent to Canterlot General. Must have been sometime in the afternoon, I was doing the routine check of the guard as they changed shifts at the Castle grounds when we heard the explosion. We thought it may have been an attack at first, you know we’ve been on edge since Princess Celestia called detachments from all over Equestria back to Canterlot for the Summer Sun Celebration. The explosion took us by surprise. The castle was in the way, and we couldn’t get a clear view of Twilight’s tower. Even some of the pegasus guards were knocked from the air. I was running before I realised it, yelling at the guards to follow me. Didn’t take us long to figure out where it had come from. Princess Celestia herself was flying straight for the tower, part of the roof was caved in. I don’t I don’t know what happened I got there as fast as I could. The blast must have knocked Spike out but he’s a tough guy, his scales protected him from whatever it is that caused the explosion. Twilight’s study was wrecked, just rubble everywhere, we tried clearing it but Princess Celestia got Twilight out first and shewas Cadence, her eyes. She was scared, I’ve never seen the Princess scared like that, but there was also something, sadness, I don’t know, it scared me too. I had to keep it together, for the other guards, I couldn’t break down in front of them, but I almost did when I saw her. I just couldn’t bear seeing my little Twily like that, she looked so frail so weak, she wasn’t breathing normally and she felt cold and Princess Celestia wouldn’t talk to anyof us I wanted to be with her, but I couldn’t leave the castle, I had to organise the guard and start the investigation, I don’t even know what I told them to do I just started barking orders and then I rushed to the hospital, but they won't let me see her. I don't know how long they'll keep me in a waiting room while they treat her, so I'm writing to let you know, but I still have to tell my parents I have to let them know they’re gonna be worried sick and damn it Cadance I was supposed to protect her I’m her big brother how could I let this happen? I please hurry Cadence I need you with me
