Letters 2: Past Sins
Retrieved from the Dark dungeon of Kryxel's mind by Kryxel
Repaired for a few bits and given to a museum by Ray10K
Twilight carried the latest delivery of letters into the motor home, and passed them around. Dash getting bills for her new credit card, and Pinkie receiving a few letters from her sisters.
Twilight smiled as she sees the scroll. Most of the messages from the newfoals she had met came in the form of letters. However, due to tradition, the messages she got from Equestria came in the form of scrolls.
However, it wasn’t just the fact that the letter came from her homeland that made her smile, but because of the wax seal keeping the scroll closed.
The seal was a shield, carrying the symbol of a crescent moon.
"Nyx..." Twilight said, as she broke the wax seal and began to read what her daughter had written her.
Dearest mother,
It has been nearly a week since I last wrote to you, and it has slowly been driving me insane to be cut off from you.
Luna has been a good teacher, helping me grow as a goddess. The ponies hardly ever see "nightmare moon" anymore, instead starting to see the real me.
“My” castle was recently reopened, as a museum for Ponyville. currently it has exhibits of the histories of the three pony races and the founding of Equestria. It has Granny Smith’s history of Ponyville, along with a jar of her first batch of zap-apple jam, the photographs of the schoolhouse and all the classes that went there, but the best part of the museum is that it has our stories in it as well.
The story of the two sisters, the six heroes, and the Alicorn that was Nightmare Moon.
Even the Cutiemark Crusaders had a hoof in building the museum. They rebuilt the spellcaster’s room, making it into a cutiemark experimentation studio.
I was even allowed to have replicas of the Elements of Harmony.
The newfoals that visit are amazed at the depth of the history that Ponyville has, and how many historical events have taken place there, even so recently.
The mayorasked me to invite you for the official opening. However, I know how busy you are, so I politely declined for you.
Luna has taken control of the sun for now, so Celestia can be on Earth. Officially, she is supposed to oversee the Conversion process, but I don’t think that is all she is doing there, given the letters she sends us every now and then.
In order to be able to get some sleep, Luna asked me if I could raise the moon for now. I agreed, but only to help the Princess.
I can hardly wait to see you come home. The library is a little empty without you and Spike.
Tell him I miss you both, and that I hope you will be back soon.
With great patience,
your daughter (and former queen of Equestria ;) )
Nyx.
Twilight rolled up the scroll, and smiled.
"Spike, I need you to take a letter.
Darling daughter Nyx..."

Ray10k here. This chapter is mostly unchanged, save for some technical things. So yeah, now I am wondering if I should have done more with it.
(you are doing fine. this is more of an interlude so it is not really a full chapter. )
