Dear Princess Celestia,
It has been a couple of days since I have received your scroll , and I must say- it was certainly a shock to find your phoenix at my window, holding in her beak, parchment of all things! One would think a bird birthed from fire would burn parchment, no? However, I am ecstatic to report- your letter came to me safe and sound, no scorch marks to be seen! I’m relieved to hear that you enjoyed our first lesson together! Admittedly, I was quite nervous. I’ve never met such an important equestrian figure, let alone the princess of Equestria herself!! I hope I wasn't too over prepared- Twilight had helped me the night before in gathering some supplies- inkwells, fresh scrolls of parchment, quills, and, per my request, colored ink!! My saddle was stuffed to the brim, and safe to say- i shall start packing lightly from now on!
Now, you wished to learn more about me? Well, i suppose to start- despite my lack of any proper magical capabilities, and aside from the bare basics of levitation and light producing spells, my talents lie in Astronomy and Astrology! Gazing into the stars to study their connections with one another, , and the effects the moon has on Equestria have always fascinated me. My favorite activity as a filly was to see you raise the moon every night. I would rush to our garden with my telescope and watch as the skies transitioned from evening into night- it was always a sight to behold! That's actually how i earned my cutie mark! I performed, for the first and last time, a spell that cast a shadow over the moon. Everypony was asleep, of course, so only i witnessed my success. It's been one of my dreams to re-created that spell, but sadly- no luck yet. I hope, further into our lessons, to achieve this dream!
I look forward to seeing you next week for our next lesson!
Yours faithfully,
Eclipsa
