Opening Letters Part 5: Mystery

January 26th, Year 1101 EG, Friday, 6:00 am Alicorn Flying Citadel Time,

It’s the 1100th anniversary of the founding of Equestria, the land we all live in and love, or at least I wish it was that day since I missed it working.

But I figure I should write something on what is actually the day of the founding of the EEA. That's right, the educational system that is said to change our world is having it’s grand unveiling today and I missed it too. I just have the worst luck.

Here I am, one of the founding members of this group and I’m not surrounded by food and adoring mares… but, tons and tons of dust.

I guess that's what I get for drawing the shortest straw. Anyway, you are probably wondering what work has me pulled away from fine food and maybe a lucky night with a mare, well it’s cataloging old letters.

I have been sent up to the remains of the old Alicorn Flying Citadel to gather up any remaining information left in this old place. Yeah, I know this was once the home of our princesses’ parents as well as the home for all alicorns or at least that is what legends say but right now I would rather be anywhere else, the worst part I’m stuck here for the entire day. Things would have certainly got more annoying it hadn’t been for me finding this old letter by… Dr. Pr. Halo.

Yeah, I don’t know who the stallion is at all. However, we share the same last name. This caught my attention and pulled the curious strings in my head. It has led me to read more of his letters and though there is only a little here I want to know more. It’s better than digging through more dust.

-- Bold Halo, Bookkeeper of the EEA
