If the cloaked figure running through Canterlot's palace was supposed to be quiet, they weren't being very good at it. Her sobbing and clip-clopping were enough to wake anypony dense enough to not be awake. The door to the princess' chambers were slammed shut, and Celestia lowered her hood, smashing the nearby vanity to pieces in her anger. She yelled in absolute despair, but quieted afterwards.
She had noticed the box sitting right in the ruins of glass. She picked it up to examine, and opened it to reveal the scroll.
She yanked the paper up and split it clean in half, burning one in magic flames, and throwing the other half onto her bed. She picked it up just to throw it again. And again and again and again. About the fourth time she came to her senses and picked it up again, staring at the parchment that she and Luna had written at Luna's insistence. It detailed their time at Everfree.
It reminded the princess of her sister too much.
She had to do something with it.
