Regarding the ancient texts found in the Badlands

To my dear John,

I have been told that the expedition in the Badlands has gone rather smooth as of now (thank the Spirits) and the Poruk-hai (Changelings as we call them nowadays) has been rather cooperative (I wonder why). Thanks to the new texts and dialects I have been provided from the Royal Canterlot library I have come up with multiple theories as to why the Arcius empire fell in the first place.

In the book it says that: 'Darkness consumed the heart of Alicorns and their magnificent light flickered one last time before time -- the greatest enemy ever known to all mortals and immortals alike -- extinguished it.' I had pondered the meaning of this line for hours, always drawing up to conclusions to which I know must be false. Thus I scroll through the books written in the dark ages (A rather fitting name for such a dark era) and I find the description of Sombra -- the first dark lord of Vasulis and the Unicorn that extinguished the light of the Arcius Empire.

Though I don't have enough concrete evidence to support my theory, I will continue reading through these texts; for they are certainly interesting, just magnificent.

I've already have the topic for my next chapter: "Of Discord and Chaos". Due to the latest texts I've been receiving, I can conclude that Discord is a being that dates as far as Eru Iluvatar. He creates the chaos among the races of Arda and would continue so until the end of time, where the sun will hang above the sky as a cold and deadly winter settles upon  Arda.

Once again I would like to thank you for your further cooperation and I wish you the best of luck for your journey

From your dear friend, Envinyatar
