//------------------------------// // Dear Mother and Father // Story: Letters from Equestria // by Timstro59 //------------------------------// Dear Mother and Father, I've found it. I've finally found the portal. It's more beautiful than I ever imagined. I have found Equestria. I wish you could be here to see it all. I see Canterlot off in the mountains, Cloudsdale in the sky and Ponyville off in the distance. I've also become a pony myself. The trip through the portal must have changed me magically. I'm a unicorn. Your son, Formerly Arthor L. Rhodes. Now Glimmer of Hope. Dear Mother and Father, I went to Canterlot today to speak to Princess Celestia. I told her of were I was from and, can you believe it, she's agreed to let me stay in Equestria. She even gave me the means to send you letters, and even gave me way to allow you to reply back. I can't wait to hear from you. The candlestick enclosed in the package is the means I told you about. Just light the candle and put your letter into the flame and it will be magically transported to me. Love you, and hope to hear from you soon. Your unicorn son, Glimmer of Hope. Dear Mother and Father, Why haven't you written back yet? I can understand that the way of sending messages to me might be a bit scary or a bit strange, but the Princess assured me that it would work. I really want to hear from you. Your unicorn son, Glimmer of Hope. Dear Mother and Father, I moved to Ponyville and got a job tending to the Library while their resident librarian was getting coronated in Canterlot. I wish I could be there so I could see Princess Twilight. If she comes back she'll likely want her Library back. If she wants it back, then she can have it. Until then, I'm the new Librarian. Your Librarian Unicorn, Glimmer of Hope. Dear Mom and Dad, I'm still waiting to hear from you. Anyway, I found a beautiful Unicorn mare in town. She said her name was North Star. She has the most beautiful brown eyes and the most serene voice. It's like listening to a summer breeze gently blowing through a green pasture. I asked her out on a date, and It's tonight. Wish me luck and please at least try the magical letter sender candle. Your no longer single son, Glimmer of Hope.
