Dear Knight Xote,

Your princess of the Sun requests your presence in Canterlot at your convenience to discuss your tenure as a Knight of Equestria, and to ensure that all is well within the lands thereof.

Journey safe, sir Knight,
HRH Celestia







Dear Mending Ways,

Don't worry, this isn't about Twilight Sparkle.

There seems to be a gentlejack by the name of Xote (ho-tay) who believes himself to be a knight of the realm. To my knowledge I have not knighted any pony, donkey, mule, or otherwise in the past several years and I do not recognize the name as it is not even remotely familiar with the grand total of two donkey knights whom I believe would still be alive today. I would like to request your availability in the near future to assess this jack for his mental health, and whether or not he is a danger to himself or others. I would prefer to do so without upsetting him, and see no harm in playing along.

Penned by,
HRH Celestia

PS. I do so hope you've been recovering from your phobia of the color purple.







To my most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle,

To be perfectly fair Twilight, the craziest being to ever have (legitimately) claimed the title 'Knight of Equestria' was Sir Tally the Fourth. Sir Tally had a rather nasty habit of running off before I could finish assigning a mission and caused no less than eight diplomatic incidents, the razing of a cabbage farm, and singlehoofedly won a war that was brewing with a small diamond dog enclave. Admittedly those are just the exploits history records (at least in books I have read mentioning him), but he once successfully delivered a bouquet of orchards to me as an ode to my beauty. No, I did not misspell 'orchids,'  he had actually managed to cut down a total of forty fruit-bearing trees, and shrank them to the size of a bouquet of flowers. I don't know how, because Sir Tally was an Earth Pony. And that was on his first day of duty. I drank more alcohol during his lifetime than any other period of my life.

Your loving mentor,
Princess Celestia

PS. I realize he still doesn't sound quite as insane as a donkey engaging in battle against a building, but that's mostly because I don't want to give anypony ideas.
