Flight of the Valkyrie: The Final Letter
Dear Princess Celestia, It has been a long time since I have written a letter to you, and longer still since I have sent one. I have always found solace in writing to you during moments of confusion, desperation, or reflection; and though you shall never see it, I can feel your hoof on my shoulder as I write even now, watching over me with calm understanding and unfaltering trust. This last month has been a whirlwind of emotion, nostalgia, and a brief return to the passion and instability of my youth. Perhaps all this reflection is why I am writing this letter now, and why my mind has begun to wander to the future as of late. I must admit that I did not comprehend the full scope of my duties, both as a princess and as an alicorn, until recently, and the burdens that you and your sister must have bore in silence. Just as you mentored me during my formative years, I, too, have discovered a bright young protégé on whom to impart my knowledge, hopes, and dreams of a better tomorrow.
