Princess Celestia writes a letter to King Sombra warning him about the idea of going to war against Equestria.

Inspired by the events from "The Crystal Empire Parts 1 & 2"

Before the war between the Kingdom of Equestria and the Crystal Empire, King Sombra sent a plethora of messages and documentations to Princess Celestia. In short, most of them were proclamations for war against Equestria. After a while, a certain princess grew tired of the constant declarations. As a response, she sent only one letter back to King Sombra...

...And this was what she wrote.

The Memorandum

Memorandum for: King Sombra of the Crystal Empire

From: Princess Celestia of the Kingdom of Equestria

Subject: The Immediate Surrender of All Opposition Against the Kingdom of Equestria

Due to the unforeseen events from your rise to power over the Crystal Empire, including the sudden, tragic death of Princess Amore, it has come to my attention that you wish to further your might and so called “strength of the Empire” by wanting to carry out military operations against the northern boundary of Equestria. Simply put, we, the ponies and representatives of Equestria, will not stand for or tolerate such hostility against our own nation.

Found within our own constitution of the three pony tribes, we will stand ready to oppose and defend against all foreign threats wishing to tear down our establishment of freedom and selfless thoughts of liberty. We will stand ready to defend our rights against the fascist ideas that plague and destroy any and all representation of individualism and self-expression. Lastly, we will stand ready to attack those who wish to only harm and tear down those who live within our land.

You see, you’re teasing and playing with a force you have no business disturbing. It’s comparable to a lonely timberwolf thinking he’s mighty enough to challenge a full grown dragon. You and I both know who would win. Oh, and yes, you’re the timberwolf. Messing with us will only bring down your kingdom in a reign of fire and tar from the heavens.

So, don’t tempt us.

We have a zero tolerance policy against any and all nations threatening to invade our land. We aren’t afraid to use what we deem necessary and appropriate to defend and attack our adversaries for the sake of peace and keeping the lives of our citizens safe. It’s our job to protect their interests and lives, thus making it our top priority.

Also, we believe in the idea that if any government or foe harms or terrorizes an order or belief into their citizens for the sake of control and power, then they aren’t a government worth being supported or recognized in the first place. They instead should be classified as a ruthless dictatorship, one that’s only supported by the selfish ideas of their leaders.

You, King Sombra, are a vengeful tyrant.

It should come as no surprise to you when I say you are only focused upon yourself and your own interests. You’ve neglected and abused the citizens of the Crystal Empire for your own personal gain in territory and control. You’ve turned a once friendly, loving kingdom in the north into a hateful, spite filled dictatorship with no regards for the population you’ve enslaved.

It should also come as no surprise when I say we are not only ready to defend our own land, but ready to liberate the Crystal Empire as well. If one opposing hoof steps on our land, spear is thrown in our direction, or cannon is fired against our troops, then that will be considered a declaration of war against our Kingdom. It will also be the day your Empire will end.

I look forward to visiting the Crystal Empire one day with my hooves treading the grounds of your castle in victory. I can’t wait to see your army surrender into our hooves once they have seen the destructive, magical power of our might. We shall be feared, respected, and swift, using every available resource we have to bring overwhelming firepower down on you, the enemy.

That’s the art of war, King Sombra, something I believe a young ruler will never understand. Your incompetent, selfish, morally lacking leadership will end up with a casualty rate higher than your own intelligence. Sadly, it’s something I don’t wish to see come true.

However, we both know that war is inevitable at this point. Thus, I must do what I can to put you down and end your rule for good. So, again, and I shall repeat, we stand ready to show you what a real opposition looks like. We stand ready to bring down force mightier than any nation has ever felt or heard before. To our foes, we wish to make them feel like the entire world is firing back upon them. That’s how my military conducts war.

However, my sister and I are completely another story. You see, with us being natural born alicorns, we have been granted gifts of magic beyond the abilities of normal unicorns. For you see, we are capable of performing feats which can be described as unbelievable, unthinkable, and simply awe inspiring. To you, however, it would come off as if we are angels of destruction.

Princess Luna, my sister, does hold the ability to enter and control dreams. Wouldn’t it be a shame if your military wasn’t able to sleep anymore because of the constant nightmares they would experience? Certainly that would be a problem of your moral, overall physical conditions, and efforts to fight for your ideals, King Sombra. Having no sleep does wear down an opposing force.

Then, there is me, Princess Celestia. As I’m sure you are aware, I am the main ruler of Equestria and commander of the Sun. In addition to possessing and controlling a military of three different pony races, I also have the ability to transform myself into something no other pony has ever seen before. While it’s a form I’m not entirely familiar with myself, I’m certainly not afraid to use it in order to bring about a swift end to your reign.

It changes me, transforms my own body into a representation of fury and destruction. Death would no longer be its own entity, instead I would be its master. I will burn brighter than the sun, be more fearsome than a raging inferno, and more terrifying than a dragon’s roar. I would single-handedly become an instrument of demise upon those who oppose me. You’d think I was something divine.

However, when we finally meet face-to-face while your army lays in ruins, you will then find out who I really am.

I am the Angel of Fire.

Signed,

Princess Celestia
The Kingdom of Equestria
