Dear Princess Trollestia, 

Alright, so Spike started glowing so he had to go out to the dragon lands AND just to make sure he didn't die or something Rarity and I had to follow him.  Now naturally I actually wanted to do something for a change but it wasn't to protect him, it was so I could learn more about dragons, write a paper about them and become famous and well renowned like I should be.

Perhaps ponies would forget about the whole scandal involving me and Cadence and rather thinking of me as a royal homewrecker, they'd think, "Twilight Sparkle?  You mean that amazing princess who ventured into the dragon lands, befriended the lord of the dragons and taught us so much about them?"  Now yeah, that is how things should be.

One bit of good news, I did actually befriend Ember and she said I can write her anytime to learn more about them and their culture.  Sweet, I can just feel it.  My works will be published in journals all over the land and I will be famous for what I should be, MY INTELLIGENCE, something that you obviously don't have. 

Future Published Scholar, 

Princess Twilight Sparkle 





To the Dragon Lord Ember, 

I am very happy to have earned your friendship, which is something much more than what I have with that white unicorn that accompanied me.  I am happy to know that we can communicate and learn about your species and your culture.  Also, I do want you to know that you are free to visit Ponyville anytime you wish.  Now given that the ponies in the dump where I live were very xenophobic when it came to a zebra I can't guarantee they will be overly welcoming but don't worry, I'll set them straight if they aren't. 

Looking Forward to Further Correspondence, 

Princess Twilight Sparkle 





Dear Spike, 

Thanks for allowing me to take the bloodstone scepter to my father despite you being the first one to get to it.  I really appreciate it. 

Sincerely, 

Dragon Lord Ember 





To An Arrogant Princess, 

You seriously think that by learning enough about dragons and writing a paper about them and their culture will get ponies to forget about all the shit you pulled?  Look, that episode of The Iron Will Show is a classic and is aired as a rerun regularly so all anypony will ever think of when the name Princess Twilight Sparkle is brought up will be an amoral pony who screwed her sister-in-law.

Look, I know you want to eventually free yourself from the scandal that haunts you but it will never happen, ever.  You just better hope the dragons don't know anything about your behavior or they may think all ponies are like that and won't want anything to do with us. 

Knowing You'll Never Be Special, 

Princess Celestia 





Dear Princess Twilight, 

I am glad that us dragons and you ponies have become friends now but I do have one question, are all ponies with the exception of you and Rarity a bunch of xenophobes or is it just a matter of you living in a town full of mindless hicks?  Either way though, I look forward to our communications and visiting Ponyville someday. 

Sincerely, 

Dragon Lord Ember 

P.S.  I don't know if this is true or not but I have heard rumors that you screwed your sister-in-law.  If it is true, don't worry.  Unlike most ponies, us dragons are rather laid back and are glad to see a pony that isn't lame and boring like most of you are. 





To the Dragon Lord Ember, 

You're welcome.  I know you'll make a great dragon lord, you'll keep the other dragons in line and you might help my master be able to publish some sort of paper regarding dragons and their culture.  Like Twilight, I do look forward to your first visit to Ponyville. 

Sincerely, 

Spike
