Entry 3

Dear Princess Luna,

Your not my favorite princess, your my favorite pony. If you can't tell I'm human. I hope to someday meet you in person, instead of through letters. I've always loved the night more than the day. If Celestia is reading this sorry. I think the moon, and stars are beautiful. I would always stay up late to watch them. By the way, why was your mane on nightmare night different than the one when Nightmare Moon was defeated? And your voice change,(volume, speech pattern, and over all voice)? Please reply back.

-WolfGirl (Sorry about the fake name, but I want to be sure that Luna gets this before I say my name.)

.................................................................................

To our most humble of servants,

You are not the first human that has ever made contact with us. Indeed, even before our banishment a thousand years ago the occasional human would somehow make contact with us. Oh, to see my old dairy light up again because a human wanted to speak to me made me feel little a little filly again.

Once upon a time, even through no pony bothered to stay awake long enough to gaze into the artwork I worked tirelessly to create there were humans who like you adored the night sky. It might not have been the one that I worked so hard to create but just the knowledge that such kind hearted beings dedicated some time every night to gaze up into the endless sea of stars and planets and truly enjoyed the wonder that was the artwork before them.

Sometimes they would even send me pictures of their night sky. I'm not going to lie, but I did recreate a couple of the ones that I really liked. It helped make me feel closer to my friends on the other side of the pages then ever before.

For a while there, I had quite the group of friends... but then they stopped talking to me. One by one they stopped replying to my messages. I didn't understand it at first. I thought I was doing something wrong. But then I got a message from the last friend I had left, Jacob. He told me that a bunch of men had come into his village and declared there was only one true god to be worshiped. When one of my friends had asked that they prove their god existed, the leader of the outsiders drew a sword and...

When that my friends had been sending letters to me, they did horrible things to them, declaring me a monster and them... and there was nothing we could do to help them. We're the goddess of the night and I was unable to do anything to aid them in anyway...

It didn't help that the end of Jacob's message was covered in a blood stain that will haunt me for the rest of my existence. I never heard from any of them ever again...

It was the start of one of the darkest periods of my life. I just, I just couldn't understand why it happened. I mean, there have often times been arguments between earth ponies, unicorns and pegasus that has resulted in violence, but there was always something of a reasonable cause behind it, such as the earth ponies depending more respect from their fellow tribes or the pegasus's wanting access to more magic or food.

Our little ponies have never even thought about killing and maiming each other simply because one of them liked my sister over us. We confess that this may have been because no pony ever did like us more then our sister, but I trust that it never would have come to such a thing.

We haven't heard from a human in over a thousand years. We are interested in learning what has changed for you. Do you still hold jousting tournaments? We still remember the legendary 'No Holds Barred' joust between Amule the Mighty and The Undertaker (The Undertaker was declared the winner after trampling Amule's rider and breaking the poor man's right arm.) I remember having drawings of The Undertaker on my bedroom walls. Now there was a stallion...

We tried to introduce the sport of Jousting, but sadly it never really caught on...

Back to the matter on hoof. To answer thy questions about our voice and mane. Tis quite simply really. After being...liberated from Nightmare Moon by the Elements of Harmony, I was drained both magically and physically. After a few months of resting, We felt more like ourself again. I hope that answers thy question and that you will continue to write to me.

Princess of the Moon and Night, Luna.
