Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle

Dark times have come to equestria. The Griffons have rejected our last avenue for peace, and have declared war upon Equestria. To make matters worse, a new Emperor of Saddle Arabia has been named, and he is joining forces with the Griffons to eradicate Equestria.

From this point forward, the Diarchy of Equestria is enforcing a draft of all able-bodied stallions and mares over the age of twenty. Henceforth, you, Twilight Sparkle, and each of the Council of Friendship have been chosen as four-star generals of the army. Report to Canterlot Processing within 48 hours. Ten pounds of personal items is allowed, along with personal weapons and armor.

-For Equestria, Five-Star General Shining Armor

Well I guess the armor was a good idea, even if Kajiya was a flankhole about it, Twilight thought to herself as she approached a large cabinet in her library. She opened the cabinet with a small golden key, revealing her armor and sword. Donning the armor and slinging a small saddlebag over her back, Twilight walked out her front door. For the first time, she was unsure if she would return.

Thanks for all the support. I hope I didn't disappoint too many of you with the short length of the story.
