//------------------------------// // Dear subjects // Story: Four Seasons, Four Princesses // by Boldish42 //------------------------------// Greetings citizens of Equestria! Princess Twilight Sparkle here! It has recently come to my attention that an unofficial transcript of a recent Council of Equestrian Princesses has gotten into circulation. I would just like to assure the public that we princesses take our duties very seriously, however, and I'm sure you will be surprised, as was I, that 'that' was apparently the very first Council held ever. I was shocked really, but I suppose it does make sense as Princess Celestia was the only princess for a nearly a millenium, and therefore had no princesses to council with. However, we have discussed it at length and we have decided that we must not let this opportunity pass us. What opportunity you may ask? Well as your Princesses we feel it is imperative to address your issues and we ask that you send your ideas, questions, problems, and concerns. Now normally the Solar, Lunar, and Crystal courts would address these issues in person one at a time, however this council has its advantages. Advantage 1: All topics may be issued in anonymity. Frankly I don't see the advantage, but I'm told it's there! Advantage 2: The collective reasoning and thoughts of all four princesses will be brought to bear on your issue! We will all contribute something to it! For even the smallest bit of insight can lead to great things. Advantage 3: The chance to see your government in action on the issues important toyou! All transcripts will be made available to the public! Minus some editing to keep state secrets of course. Advantage 4: The convenience of writing a letter instead of having to make the journey to The Courts! Remember, your government can't improve without input from you: The Everypony. So everypony old or young write to us so that together we can make Equestria and The World a better place! Also, anypony with information regarding the origins of the 'bootleg' First Council transcription, please inform the Royal Guard as soon as possible. Rewards available for credible information. Your Princess Twilight Sparkle Ha! See that! She signed it twice! Anyway, if you're seeing this it means my charm worked, and the princess will probably never see it! Secret Scribe Boldish here! No that's not my real name. Why Boldish? Well I'm kind of annoying a certain princess for fun, but I'm trying not to get caught either, so I figure I'll just be a bit boldish. Anyway this idea she's got here, I think it's great! send your comments and whatnot and I'll make sure you get to see what really happens up here. personally I think it gets pretty funny, not that you'd be able to tell from an 'official' transcript. Hope to hear from you soon soon! SSB
