The Other Elements (mlp:fim fanfic)

Chapter four: Letters and discoveries

AN: Wow, eighty two reads already?! This is so great! Thanks everypony! So, I'm having a little bit of writers block but I'll pull through. I don't own the picture above! See you at the end of the chapter!

"It's just a fascinating read." Said Twilight Sparkle. "You'd love it Starlight."

"It really does sound interesting." Starlight Glimmer responded.

"Twilight." Spike broke in. "Sorry to interrupt, but this just came for you."

Spike held a scroll of parchment and extended his claw to Twilight. Twilight's magenta magic aura then surrounded it. She unrolled the parchment and began to read. Starlight and Spike watched as her violet eyes flew across the paper.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Luna and I have come across a book that will undoubtedly aid in our efforts to rid Equestria of King Sombra. After searching the royal library we came across the book. It's titled 'The Elements of Wilderness: a reference guide.' It appears to be even older than the book containing the information on the Elements of Harmony. On account of being very busy with royal duties, Luna and I haven't had time to go through the book ourselves. Therefore I'm making arrangements for the book to be delivered to you as soon as possible. I'm sure you're busy with the possible bearer of the ice element, but Luna and I would greatly appreciate you reading through it. The two of us will continue to be on the lookout for possible bearers here in Canterlot. I will contact you if we find anything else.

Sincerely, Princess Celestia

"What does it say?" Starlight asked after a few moments.

"Princess Celestia says that she and Luna have found more information on the other elements." Twilight answered.

"That's great!" Said Spike.

"She says she's having the book sent here for me to read and that she and Luna are on the lookout for other bearers."

"Do you want me to take a letter to send to her?"

"I think I'll get this one myself, Spike. But thanks."

Twilight walked out the throne room, through the hallway and eventually into the library. She shut the doors behind her with her magic before sitting down at her desk to take a letter. Her magic magenta aura surrounded a quill and she dipped its tip in an inkpot then began to write a letter to Princess Celestia.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I'm excited to report that I strongly believe Winter Frost is in fact the bearer of the ice element. However, she isn't a natural born leader. It may take a while for her to realize just how much potential she has, especially given her past. But I am confident that she can help us take down King Sombra once and for all. I'll let you know when the book is safely in my possession, along with any important information I might find.

Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle

After looking over the letter, Twilight placed the quill into inkpot and rolled up the letter with her magic. She then fluttered out of her chair and flew back into the throne room where Spike and Starlight Glimmer were waiting. The two had been conversing when Twilight flew in. She descended back to the ground and then trotted over to Spike.

"Spike, please send this letter to Princess Celestia at once." Twilight commanded, releasing the letter from her magic's hold.

"Sure thing." Spike responded holding the letter up before breathing fire onto it.

The letter caught fire as it started to smoke and with a trail of sparkles it eventually disappeared.
