Dear Babs,

I’m honestly not sure how to put this.  I think the best thing is to listen to the caset tape first before you continue on.



I’m sure you’ve heard that last bit with all the explosions and everything.  What happened was that some giant monster thing attacked.  He had pony legs but had some strange body thing where his head would normally be.  His name was Tirek and he was like some vampire thing that could suck out the magic in a pony.

We saw him fighting with Princess Twilight before that last explosion which did a lot of damage to the countryside.  We must have run all the way to town, where we saw tons of ponies laying on the ground with blurry eyes and no cutie marks, and these were adults that I know have cutie marks since I’ve seen many of them.  

This made no sense until I saw the giant monster thing came back and picked me, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo up in his magic and did something that caused some kind of magic to leave all of us.  I never felt more scared in my life, even when facing that chimera.  He said something about it not even being a nibble after all that Alicorn magic he got, and then just left us on the ground and turned to the Everfree Forest.  I tried to get up, but I just couldn’t move.  I was so tired.

I thought I was never going to move again until suddenly something warm came over me and I could feel stronger again.  I got up, and so did everypony else, and they had their cutie marks again.  I didn’t since I didn’t have one to lose.  

There were these lights up in the sky going everywhere that I could see.  It was beautiful.  Then when it was over, all of Ponyville started to shake.  When it was over, we all looked and there was this giant thing just outside of Ponyville.  

We all went to get a closer look and saw that it was a castle.  It was almost as big as the one in the Crystal Empire, and was made of crystal too.  It came after Twilight, Applejack and the rest of their friends defeated Tirek with some sort of rainbow power.  So Princess Twilight has her own castle now.  It’s cool and all, but it’s definately going to take some getting used to.

So that’s what happened in that tape.  Did anything like that happen to you at all, because I hear that Tirek did this all over the place?  I hope you’re ok.

Your cousin,

Apple Bloom
