Dear Princess Luna,

The 1,000 years have finally ended, and you will be coming home any minute at this Summer Sun Celebration. I find myself actually calm and serene about this because, though I haven't found an heir to the throne, I have found you something even better:

Your salvation.

My personal protégé's name is Twilight Sparkle, and though she doesn't know it yet, she is to be the new bearer of the element of magic. I feel like you will like her: she is smart, kind, and very devoted to what she does. I have sent her to Ponyville to find the other bearers of the elements of harmony; based on what I have heard, it is an uncanny coincidence that the ponies who represent honesty, loyalty, fun, kindness, and generosity all live in the same area. I know that saving you is a dire matter, but when I heard this about the future bearers I just had to laugh.

I know that it will be painful for you to face the full force of the elements again after all this time, but it is a very small price to pay to get to see you again as you once were: bright, youthful, and full of life and harmony. I am eagerly awaiting your return now that I know you will be saved and reunited with me. I'm so glad that you will be home.

Much love, Celestia
