Dear Princess Celestia,
Day 12(Strange and Stranger)
Well not a lot's happened these past two days but enough to warrant a letter.
The first thing happened during our travels on the road from Balmora to Ald'ruhn. I'm going to keep this short because I know you don't like the subject. The “people” of this world are not only a “nice” size but can set off a mare's heat cycle! It was Shining Armor reception all over again. I am not proud of how I acted that day either and as I said before I know you don't like the subject so I'm stopping their.
Anyways, moving on.
When we got to the Ald'ruhn guild hall last night I was a little surprised at how nice it looked compared to the Balmora hall. There are beautiful tapestries hung on the walls, the walls were nicely painted and there were fancy lanterns all over the place. Definitely better then the blandness of the Balmora hall. However like the Balmora hall, this one was mostly underground as well. I think it’s to prevent any major damage to the city in case of a magical accident. It’s the only logical thing I can think of.
I later learned the lanterns were one of the many Dwemer artifacts that I was sent to look at when Sanjuro bumped into one, knocking it over.
I got started with using my magic on the Dwemer artifacts almost immediately the next day. These artifacts, I haven’t brought it with up to anyone yet, but they’er almost identical as those found in the ruins that are scattered in the griffin kingdom. Both the metal and the enchantments on the metal of a lot of the artifacts are so similar that they might as well be identical. Even some of the parts look exactly the same as some the mechanics that the griffins have. It's only a theory right now, but I think these Dwemer have been to Equestria, I hope that is the case because it may mean I can find a way back home through whatever means they used. I just need to find it. I'm not going to bring it up to the others till I go to one of these Dwemer ruins and confirm my suspicions. If it's the same as the ones back home then I will bring my finding up with the others.
While I’m going on about the Dwemer I have discovered something else that may be just plain coincidence. The Dwemer are sometimes called Dwarfs but some, kinda like how some ponies call a griffin a gryphon. Its nothing major and may be nothing at all but at the same time I can't help but think about it.
As for Sanjuro, I knocked him out again. However this time it wasn't completely my fault. I do feel a little bad for being the trigger of the event however. The “people” of this world can get a rare condition that causes them to have an allergic reaction to a type of spell. Sanjuro has such an allergy to teleportation spells.
We found this out during the experimentation on the Dwemer artifacts. I was not that far into my work when Sanjuro got his fingers(similar to Spike’s claws but not as sharp I don't think I have described what the “people” look like yet) stuck in a Dwemer tube while using it to entertain himself. I actually wanted to let him try and get it off himself, learn from his mistakes kind of thing. However this hall’s guild master, Edwinna, is kind of crazy when it comes to Dwemer artifacts, more so then I am with books, or Pinkie when she gets into “That Mood”, and I’ve only known Edwinna for a day! I casted a teleport spell on the tube, teleporting it off his fingers and unto the table. That is when Sanjuro suddenly started convulsing and fell to his knees, vomiting what little was in his stomach before falling on his back.
This soon got the attention of the rest of the mages in the guild. After I quickly explained what happened Edwinna cast a teleport spell of her own on Sanjuro sending him to his own quarters. We could hear him scream from his room right after the teleport happened. I was confused and worried about what was happening. One of the younger mages told me what they thought actually happened as Edwinna disappeared upstairs to Sanjuro's room. There was one more scream coming from Sanjuro's room before Edwinna came down and asked for a few other of the mages and myself. This was when she told me about what the magical allergies were.
We spent most of the morning and early afternoon casting various spells on Sanjuro to see if he would react to them. We did take the time to prepare healing wards to keep Sanjuro from possibly dying should he react poorly to any other spells. Lucky for him no known spells, of both worlds, caused a reaction they were looking for. That and I got a lot of first hoof experience with the spells of this world. After we were done I was told to leave him be for the rest of the day as he would be asleep till morning.
I finished the rest of the day finishing up my tests with the Dwemer artifacts then started on this letter. I'm actually going to go ask Edwinna if I can go to one of these Dwemer ruins and where the closest is. I’ll write again after I’ve explored one of these ruins.
Your Friend,
Twilight Sparkle
P.S. Just got finished talking to Edwinna, If Sanjuro recovers enough tomorrow we are going to the ruins with a junior mage tomorrow afternoon.
Also going to use a page to describe the appearance of the “people” of this world so you can better grasp what they look like, can’t believe I haven't done that yet.
