Twiley,



Hey, sis! Sorry I haven’t wrote to you sooner. I know I promised to do just that more often. Cadence and I have just been trying to settle into our new lives together after the wedding. We traveled all the way to Vanhoover to take a private cruise out over the Northern Lunar Ocean for our honeymoon, and we couldn't send any letters til we got back inland. I know, that’s no excuse since I could have sent at least one before we set off. So, as your brother, you have my word that I’ll send letters more often in the future. 

Anyways, I heard about what happened in Canterlot. Mom and Dad sent a letter to let me know that they’re okay. I have to say though. A crazy, power-hungry unicorn? Pony and Griffon mercenaries, and an alien from another world? That’s just really crazy to think about. They even told me about how you all met the alien in person together. Me and Cadence have been reading the news about him, and he sounds a little reckless. Though we agreed that if you were able to befriend him, he couldn't be all that bad. But be honest, sis. Is he really a hairless-looking ape like in the photos? Or is that some kind of disguise enchantment the princesses put on him? Is he more like the Apuchacabrians like in Space Adventures, issue 7? You know; all slimy, 8 legs, and covered in red scales? A ‘human’ just seems gross odd. No offense to him or his species of course.

Although, I’m glad to hear that he was at least on our side when Canterlot came under attack. I would never forgive myself if you or anyone else were hurt in the attack, and I wasn’t there. I was the captain of the royal guard after all, and more so, a member of the guard sworn to protect Equestria and her citizens. I should have been there nonetheless to do my duties. I know, you’d say that ‘I can’t blame myself’ and ‘I couldn’t have known that it would happen’. Still, to think that you were all in danger and I wasn’t there. 

Alright, I know you’re probably thinking I should stop beating myself up over this, so I will. Cadence hates it when I get pouty like this anyways. She says that I'll tend to forget all the good that can come out of the situation in the end when I do. You know me though, I can't help but worry about my family when I hear that they could be in danger. Hopefully next time you can count on your big brother to be there. That way I won't have to be 'pouty' about it afterwards.

Well, me and Cadence are getting ready to head back to Canterlot in the morning. Hopefully this letter gets to you before we return so I can look forward to something waiting in Canterlot. I’d love to hear back from my baby sister as soon as possible. Alright, love you baby sis.
