The letter game

To my wife, BlackRose.

Hello honey, I had just arrived in the camp and chose my sleeping quarters with the other officers. Its not too bad here, the sun is shining bright along with good weather. We have no orders at the moment, so we can just sit here in base till we get some.

Love, DeathFury.

To DeathFury,

I got your letter, and I am happy for you that you are not in danger of war. The weather here is the same over there but, they are calling for some rain soon. I've been hearing about possibilities of war with the griffins, I hope that they are false.

Love, BlackRose.

To BlackRose,

I hope there is no war too, we are still training the new troops, but the chances are high. The griffins are not known for peacemakers. War with Equestria seems very bad, considering that it is a world power. Still no orders right now.

Love, DeathFury.

To DeathFury,

I fear the war is coming, I could tell by how everypony was acting here. There are posters of war all over Ponyville. War is coming I can feel it. Oh! Very happy news! I am pregnant with a foal. I will be going to the doctor to see the gender soon. Any name ideas?

Love, BlackRose and the foal.

To BlackRose,

I am so happy for you! We got a foal to take care of together. Anyway, for the names I have a few. This is for if it is a colt; Arthos, Grados, and Oktober. For the Filly; Morning Dawn, Arthrenia, and Blue Flower. That's all I got for now. Hope you find out what it is. I hope its a filly.

Love, DeathFury.

To DeathFury,

Its a filly! Oh, I'm so happy for us. She's to be due in about 7 months. I need to survive the mood swings...Anyway, the name I chose for her was Morning Dawn. Such a pretty name for her don't you think? Tensions has reached its peak in the threat of war, its inevitable. i hope you are deployed near me.

Love, BlackRose and Dawn.

To BlackRose,

I have orders, I am moving to the front where the griffins are spearheading their attack. Sorry for not replying for a long time, the orders had us moving out from the base with almost no stopping, I finally got the chance to do so now. As I am writing this letter the rest of us are preparing to move out once again.

Love, DeathFury

To DeathFury,

I hope you come back for supper one day, with Dawn at the table running around giggling as you chase her around and me preparing supper. I want you to come hope safe, promise me that in your next letter. A few friends of mine are helping me get through these cursed mood swings. Say hi to Marrow for me will ya?

Love, BlackRose and Dawn.

To BlackRose,

I promise that I will return home one day. I will never break that. We have reached the defense lines. The lines are trenches stretching for miles across the landscape. Ahead, toward the griffin's lines, lie Nopony's land. A burned landscape full of dead trees and holes in the ground. The smell of death reeks here as I lie in the trench writing this. Oh, and Marrow says 'hi' back and wishes you well. So much has happened since the morning I left you. I miss you deeply and want to return now, but, my duty keeps me from doing so. How's Dawn and you doing?

Love, DeathFury.

To DeathFury,

Me and Dawn are doing well, along with the mood swings. That place you described sounds dreadful! Be careful there for me and Dawn. I can't wait till she arrives can you? It will be painful at first but with you here, it will be beyond fine. She is due in 5 more months. Keep me posted on whats going on over there.

Love, BlackRose and Dawn.

To BlackRose,

I can't wait ether! Like I said I want to see you so bad and meet Dawn myself. We have been sitting here in the trenches for days on end as the griffins pound us with artillery fire, forcing us into our underground bunkers like right now. Our officers are planing an attack soon, not sure when it will happen.

Love, DeathFury.

To DeathFury,

Oh, be careful please. I don't want you to die. Also, when I went to the spa with my friends, we saw some guards chilling in the hot tub. It was so funny it started hurting, we laughed so hard and fell to the floor as they looked at us embarrassed. Soon, the others started to join in on the laughter. It was such a great time. I think even Dawn was laughing as well. I hope this war ends soon.

Love, BlackRose and Dawn.

To BlackRose,

I will. Remember my promise? I will come back soon. We got orders to attack, it will begin in one more week. We are to charge at their lines and break them with sheer force. This will be the biggest battle in history. And I am glad that I am in it. I hope to see you after this battle.

Love, DeathFury.

To DeathFury,

I remember it. I will wait for your return by the door. Send me a letter before you go into battle. Be careful out there. Only two more months till Dawn is here, I hope you return before then.

Love, BlackRose and Dawn.

To BlackRose,

I will love to see you there by the door. I got your letter the day before we started the battle. I am so happy for you and Dawn, and I hope to return too. Wish me luck on the field.

Love, DeathFury.

To DeathFury,

Dear? Are you there? You have not been sending me letters for two weeks since you went into battle. Please respond, I am getting worried along with the others here.

Love, BlackRose and Dawn.

To DeathFury,

Please, Reply to me soon. We miss your letters.

Love, BlackRose and Dawn.

To DeathFury,

Please no.....please don't let it be true.

From BlackRose.
