The terror sweeping the streets of Canterlot have not gone unnoticed by Their Royal Highnesses, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The two sisters have penned a letter to address this trying time and to assure their loving subjects that all will be well.


Our most Loyal Subjects,

Within the past several days, eleven innocent souls have fallen victim to a pony, or beast, being referred to as "The Phantom," having been turned to stone where they stood. We give our condolences to all of their loved ones. In light of these events, we are declaring a state of emergency. The Royal Guard of Equestria have been deployed to ensure the safety of everypony. We ask that you take precaution and follow our safety ordinance enacted on this, the one thousand and sixth year of our reign. We will keep an ever watchful eye over day and night until the Phantom is found and brought to justice. Our hearts go out to you.

May Harmony abound,

Princess Luna
Princess Celestia
