Some Letters to Celestia

Dear Princess Celestia,

The throne within the castle within the Crystal Empire is very soft. Velvet lined, and filled with only the finest fleece from the finest of animals. Purple and garnet cloth cover it, and the throne itself is made from gold and diamonds. It shines in the sunlight that cascades from the crystal sun roof, but you could assume it's made from crystal, just like nearly everything within this empire. Well...I did end up moving the official throne room as well, because the original throne was made from crystals, and that is just...well not me. I commissioned a new one to be made, in a special addition to the castle that I also had commissioned. Well...I guess I had a few rooms added to fit my needs better, the chambers in which Sweetiebelle was murdered just would not do for stronger, older ponies. I essentially had an underground fortress added to the castle. A small one, but still one. The throne chambers, are definitly my favorite of the additions though. Only I, and invited "guests" are allowed within those chambers. Paintings depicting all of the ponies I have slain, and the ponies that are to be slain are here, and they are quite well designed. A red carpet stretches from the stone entrance to the actual throne, and the floors are made from marble. My plan is slowly coming to fruition, but until then...well I'm not at liberty to spoil everything.

Ponyville is in a very sorry state, but you probably noticed that. From the fires that ravaged Sweet Apple Acres, that also took the life of one Macintosh, to the toxins released in their only water supplies. Ponyville is being abandoned due to your truly...well I had help, but...well...you'll learn everything soon enough.

One white furred purple maned unicorn made her way into the empire, and I invited her into my chambers. She of course came in willing, hoping to kill me, but as you can see from this letter, and your current head count, that you probably should have made, probably a month before you receive this letter.

She had a mouth on her, but I would expect that out of a pony that had lost her younger sister to a monster like me. Her voice was elegant, oh little Ms. Rarity, why did you have to come here, and force my hand to your throat. She was weak though, at least compared to Ms. Twilight Sparkle.

Her horn removal was easy enough, kept all my appendages, and didn't get stabbed in the back...unlike last time I contained a unicorn. I chained her to an iron chair parallel from me, because I did have questions for her, and I obtained some answers, not all, but some. I know some of your castle's weak points, and...well some points of insurgency. You should probably allocate more guards to Canterlot, and your castle...but won't that be hard with your near halved military force from your Changling invasion. That, and then you have people posted all throughout your cities for when I make a more public appearance.

Little Ms. Rarity's lips were not easy ones to move, my dear Princess Celestia. Stubborn little unicorn, but, as you know I have means of making her talk. I decided waterboarding would be fun, so cloth over the face, and well...not water. No it's not that either! I had some gasoline on standby, so I thought why not. I left her there for a few moments, gagging on her own tongue. Bring her to the brink of death, bring her back. Rinse and repeat, is a good phrase to describe what happened for the next...half hour I believe.

I drowned the information out of her, but I couldn't let her live. I moved her to the new, and improved torture chamber, and hooked her to a different more secure apparatus. I pulled out a pair of pliers, and began yanking teeth. Slowly wiggling it out with the pliers, and watching her squirm and scream, and lose that beautiful accent of hers to well...me. I only pulled about five teeth in this manner, but then I did something, that even I find deplorable looking back at it. I propped her mouth open with two metal sticks, and began placing razor blades in between her teeth, and dug them into her gums, as deep as I could. These blades were also attached to strings by the way, so pulling was not a challenge. I slowly slid them out, made sure that they pressured every nerve in her gums. I did have to stop the bleeding though, so she wouldn't bleed out on me, so I took a heated sheet of metal, and began welding the wounds together.

She was a mess covered in a crimson liquid at this point, so I began cleaning her with bleach. From the top of her head to toe. Her main ruined, her fur ruined, and her body...burning horribly, but at least the blood was gone.

Little Ms. Rarity does grow annoying though, from the crying, to the whining, to the well...I guess it's only the two, but it's a lot of the two.

I decided I would try a device that I only recently obtained, that is designed in such a way, to fit around the leg of a mare, and essentially break every bone in that leg. Pain is the only thing little Ms. Rarity knew for that time...well at least until she passed out from shock.

In the time that she was in a comatose state, I made a sandwich, and it was good. Bologna and pepper jack cheese, it was just to die for. I know it sounds simple to you, but doing all of this is a lot of work, I don't get a ton of sleep, and then I'm not able to eat very often. I only have the simple pleasures when it comes to food, and I am completely fine with this.

Rarity did awake eventually though, with a twisted around shattered and useless leg, but awake never the less. I took a a scalpel to her precious little face, and decided she needed some work done. I removed her nose, and burned shut the would. I also removed the eyelids, and an ear. Before closing the wound, I put some of the blood in a bucket, and forced the liquid down her throat. She vomited it up, but it was kind of entertaining to watch her attempt to stomach it.

At this point she was still able to talk, and shout profanities, and other things at me, so I decided to remedy the situation. I took a mallet, and took two swings to her mouth. She almost choked on the shattered teeth, and blood, but I made sure she didn't.

My dear Princess Celestia, you are an enemy of, and the cities you rule are enemies of the Crystal Empire, and I decided I would make this official with the public killing of Rarity, I dragged her from the pits of where she lay helpless, and cast her from the highest point of the castle. Your precious Rarity is now a stain on the cement.

This is a war, my dear Princess Celestia, a war that you are losing.

With all due respect,

Julius Markenser
