//------------------------------// // Letter 2 // Story: The Assembled Letters of Twilight Sparkle, Protégé of Emperor Discord // by Caligari87 //------------------------------// Honorable Emperor Discord, This week was supremely interesting. After spending some time with these five mares, I’m convinced the strange closeness is definitely a part of Friendship. Granted, the flying tables at The Sugar Polyhedron make talking difficult, but they somehow managed to maintain conversation, up to five minutes between interruptions! There was also a wide range of subjects discussed, from entropic farming to the latest fads in self-randomizing wardrobes. My acquaintances apparently spend more time together than almost any other ponies in town. I have yet to broach the topic of Friendship with them though. I will wait a bit longer, as they seem slightly wary of my status as your student. Perhaps I intimidate them? And yes, I’m sorry for my continued formal style of writing. I know it annoys you, but for some reason I can’t seem to break the habit. Perhaps it balances against my desire to learn the higher ways of chaos over the banal normalcy we naturally crave. I will try harder to follow the spirit of Chaos in every endeavor. Muffins! In other related news, I brought the Magic of Chaos to three young fillies today! They were having a picnic, and I cast the “Need It Want It” spell on my old toy for them. It wore off sooner than I would have liked, but they seemed to enjoy it; absolute pandemonium reigned supreme in the neighborhood for over an hour! Tomorrow I plan to visit the local music shop and see if the proprietor needs any help shuffling her music selection. I will report on that in my next letter. Your faithful wAckY student, Twilight Spzarkle
