The Riddle

Dear Princess Celestia,

I’m writing you because I want to ask if you can tell me more of what you know. I’ve been to my friends for help, and one of them has nudged me into this direction. I must admit now that she has a point. You have been making it clear that you want us to move past the stage where I do things because I have been instructed to. This is the real world, and the issue I’m trying to solve is not part of a task, but it is to add to the knowledge of ponydom. It is for science.

And if it is not a game, and if it is about the result, and not the process, then why hide information from me?

My heart is beating pretty fast right now. I’m not used to writing to you in this tone. Please let me add that, if you have good reasons, then I’m sorry for pressuring you unfairly, and if you think it is wise not to share those reasons with me, then I understand completely. All I want is for you to confirm that those reasons really exist.

(I’ve given Rarity your recommendation, and she has read it in two days. She said it is possibly her new favorite book, or if not then almost, and she asked me to give you her thanks).

Your ever faithful student
Twilight
