Hope you and mother missed me, I'm sure you do, I will be sad if you weren't. I'm sorry for replying very much late, and yes! I read your letter so stop worrying about it, I know you missed me so much, but you don't have to sent two letters in one week. Yes, I did promise you to wrote as soon as I can once, but these strict schedule didn't allow me to write a reply quickly. I am terribly sorry, sister. Anyway, I wrote this before transfer to the front. Far from home, I don't really know where though. I wish I could told you where was I'm heading. I'm a strong stallion, so you and mother don't have to worry about me. I once beat my Commanding Officer in a sword duel, so I think I can handle myself out there. And by your letters, I see you were helping mother for once, that is good. I'm super proud of you! Thanks for the photos of you and mother baking a cake? Anyway, I should end my letter here. For awhile, my dearest sister. I won't replying to your letters very soon, but once me and my regiment settled in the front. I will write to you as soon as I can. Your Brother. Light Sheer. Third Letter26th March Hello sister!! Hope you didn't wait long for my letter, again sorry for the late reply. I was just arrived and settled in the camps, didn't know where our exact position, but somewhere on the north-east of our home. I think. Anyway, I got your letters and it said you're doing some kind of a school project. That is awesome, I can't wait to see your creation, little sister. How about you and mother? Good I hope, and well about me... I'm doing pretty well actually, finding new friends in the camp and it was cool to see a veteran. You should see his scar, he looked. AWESOME! Unfortunately, no I don't intend to bring back scars on my way home, no matter how cool it will be... I probably hate to see a scar on my cutie mark. That is the last thing I want a scar would be marked, nope, nuh uh!! Not gonna let it happen just like that. Anyway, my dearest sister. I will write letters as often as I could, things were quiet for a moment. It won't be long however to see the enemy flag rose high in the air, and again. Don't you worry about me. Farewell for now my little sister, stay with your hopes up! Your Dearest Brother. Light Sheer. Fourth Letter15th April Hello, little sister. As I promised a few weeks ago, that I will write you a letter soon enough. A little bit of problem however, both being in sentry duty and strict exercise from command, so I really don't have the time to write you one. Anyway, based on your letter, mother had a slight 'accident'. I wish her to get well soon, and I hope that you've been helping her. A lot. Just take care of her will you? I'm in a long way home to treat her, so it must be you little sister, take care of her. Anyway, now you will wonder how I'm doing on the camps. Well, were marched out to meet the enemies and... well, tons of things happened. Don't worry, I've maybe took a minor slashes to my armor but it all good. I still got yours good-luck badge, maybe it was luck it self that choose me to survive today. And believe me, you don't want to know how many I cheated death. Avoiding it barely, thanks Celestia for bringing us a victory on the battle. But yet, I felt empty without you around, sister. You've always there to comfort me, bringing cheers and joy to my day. But... you weren't here... Take a good care of mother! And always watch your health, you must stay healthy to take care of her. I know our neighbors can help, but it is best that you take care of her on yourself. You're growing up, little sister. Soon, you won't be my little sister anymore. With Cheers and Joy. Your Brother. Light Sheer Seventh Letter15th June Hey, sister. How long you've been waiting? Sorry for the very late reply, but... I was wounded in that battle. I know, I'm sorry! I got hospitalized for at least couple of weeks, and right now, I'm writing this letter on the medical bed. Sorry... I've let my guard down, that's why I got hurt at the first place. But good thing is, I can reply faster than before. I know mother are sickly worried about me, but once again I told you. Don't worry about me, I'm doing quite well. How am I doing? I will state it again: I'm Fine! Jeez, you guys should stop worrying about me and worry about things back home. I know mother had a lot of work to help other pony who were badly injured, that is your priority mother. And for you sister, as always. First thing to look after is your mother, take a very good care to your health too. Oh! I should mention how was the battle though. We had gained a victory! That's right, we pushed back their armies to their own lines back. The victory however, took a great loss from both side. I even lost a hoof-full of friend on that battle. Me myself got struck by a spear from behind, good thing is. It missed any internal organ by inch's. I should be thankful for your good-luck badge. I just cheated death again because of it, all thanks to you Sister. Again... you don't have to worry about me. I promised that I lived through this, and also don't forget that tour I've mentioned back then. I promise sister, I'll be home before you know the war is even over. With Tears and Hope. Your Brother. Light Sheer. Eight Letter20th June Hey sister! How are you and mother? Good I hope, and as I told you earlier. I will reply your letter as soon as I can, since I was hospitalized, thus making me easy to just sit back and read your letters. It won't be long for me to return to the front however, but it didn't really matter. I got a lot of get well soon letters from home, is that your doing sister? Celestia already know that you don't really have to worry about me, but yet. You did, and I'm happy about it. Thank you for your hard work sister! I really appreciate it. The doctor said, that I will return to the front shortly. So expect for a late reply from me anytime soon, but I still read your letters, my dear sister. Feel free to sent me letters anytime you want, and feel free to tell me your activity back home. I'm looking forward to your letters! Anyway, base what I heard. Our army start to push through the enemy line and even start to advance deep behind the enemy line. They are falling, and I could feel the end of this war. It was a matter of time before their lines was broken and shattered by our mighty army. Maybe this late July, we will enter the Crystal Empire lands. Hopefully before winter arrives. It will broke down the offensive, and by then, Crystal Empire will be ready for a defense on their land. Stay healthy, sister. Take a good care. Stay out of trouble. With Cheers and Love. Your Brother. Light Sheer. P.S : Thanks for the cake! :D Ninth Letter21st July The Final Offensive. This is it, sister. I will be home soon. As this is the final assault on their stronghold, and yes I do aware that I haven't write you any letters, but your letters warmed my heart. Yesterday, I mourned another friend, but your letters lit my way up from sorrow. I thanked you for that. Right now, General Shining Armor Armies are besieging the Capital of the Crystal Empire, the army wasn't alone though. There was a lot of army led by a different Commander. One of these was Princess Luna Royal Regiment (12th Royal Guard Regiment). Princess Celestia herself, descended to the camp to cheer us on this final battle. This battle... Is the last time... Once its over, were going home to our families that patiently awaits us back home. I can finally fulfill my promise to you sister. I'll be back to embrace you in my hug, I missed you and mother dearly. I can't wait to defeat the last stronghold, so I can return back home. No, we. We can return home once this is over. I'll await for you in the train station sister! Your Brother. Light Sheer. Final LetterThe crowded train station was filled with many anxious families, waiting for their son to return from the war. They weren't sure if they would see their sons on the train. But if they did, it was happiness they see. But those who don't... It was a different story. Yet the train hadn't arrived yet. There was no sight of the train, chatters are loudly heard on the station. It was barely audible for anypony to listen. Among these families are two mares awaiting patiently for the train to arrive. Both bit their lower lips, unsure if what they feared the most was true or not. Then, the Trains were seen, approaching from the horizon and making its way to the station. There was a loud cheers from everypony on the station, they were eager to see their own relative on the Train. The Train had finally arrived in the small town. But both of the mares, young and the older one. Looked around at the station anxiously, the now unloading Train has unloaded its passenger but yet, no sign of the pony they're looking for. Everywhere they see, families hugging each other, some still looking just like them. A Stallion wearing a custom purple armor with a gold outline, accompanied with two golden armored Royal Guard. Approached the two mares and greeted them. At first, both frowned upon the familiar figure of Shining Armor. General of the Royal Equestrian Army, both being unsure of why did he came all the way here. Until Shining Armor call them the name "Light Sheer" and looked at them with a sad face. The older mare, realized what happen and breaks into tears, falling to her knees. The young one tries to comfort her but no success, she then she demanded an explanation from him. Shining Armor then floated out an envelope, stained with dry blood on the bottom left of the envelope. Giving it to her, she quickly opened it and read it... Realizing, it was the final letter from her brother. She finally broke into tears after finishing the letter, accompanying her mother who were already crying in the cold floor of the station. The letter reads: 30th July Hello, if you're reading these then... Well. I died in battle. I wrote this before the attack of the capital just to let you know, that I... really loved you guys. I was going to be home with you but... just in case something happened. I wrote this letter to tell you that I... had died. I know you are waiting for me in the Station, but seems like you will never find me there. I told somepony a favor to bring this letter in case anything happened to me. So, I'm sorry if I broke my promises to you sister, but I can't be there. With you. Instead, I'll be up here. Watching you. Yeah, I'm a jerk, but I can't blame myself for what happened. All I can tell is that you must live on without me. It maybe hard but at least try, it only saddened me if I see my family broken. Remember, you are not alone who suffered. This is my last letter to you sister, mother. I apologized for everything. Your Brother and Son. Light Sheer. First Letter14th February. Hey, little sister. I hope you are doing well with mother, and yes I know quite well that I haven’t write a single letter ever since I left the house. But please forgive me, I do not have the time due to the strict schedule the Guards has put us into. And yes, I did received your letter, my dearest sister. I know you and mother missed me, but I can’t go home now. ‘Equestria’ need me, it need every stallion it had to defend our home. To protect Equestria from harm. What I did... Was to protect not only Equestria, but also to protect the innocents and other families, including you, my sister. Anyway, I hope that you didn’t bring any trouble with mother, you have to be good. The last thing mother need is trouble, so don’t give her anymore unnecessary burden to her shoulders. And, I did miss you little sister, it is the same to mother. I will never forget you, I will always be thinking of you in my sleep. Hoping you are safe and away from the war. I have heard rumours that the war is coming close to our home. I wish, it never happened. If it did, protect mother. Find a safe place. Stay away and don’t trust anypony in armor but the yellow one. They will take you to somewhere safe. For now, I wish for you and mother safety, Farewell my little sister. Stay safe and avoid any trouble. Your Brother. Light Sheer. Fifth Letter28th April Heyya sister! I got your letter saying that mother is recovering quickly. Oh boy, I was so glad. Thanks to you and some help from the neighbors (I presume). That now, she could return to her work helping other pony in need, I can't tell how proud am I to you sister! You are no longer my little sister anymore, once this is over. I promised that I will take you to the coolest place in Canterlot, and perhaps other place in Equestria. I know someplace cool in Manehattan, you will never believe it, but one of my comrade were the owner of a Night Club. Maybe I took you there perhaps? Or we could just tour around Ponyville... I heard their soy burger are amazing. I will wait for your reply on that though. Now, as usual. How am I doing here? Its all good down in the camp, the commander even sat down with us to congratulate us on the recent victory on the enemy. One by one, step by step. Were pushing the enemy back to their lands, and away from you. Now I know these crystal pony done nothing wrong, it was their king who ordered them to invade. I really hate hurting anypony, but again, I'm a soldier. Anyway, enough with the front. How are you doing with your project anyway? Looking good I hope. And for the hundredth of time, you don't have to worry about me. Jeez, I'm a strong independent stallion. I could take on these bruise and cut, but I still don't know if I should return with a permanent scar on the way home though. What do you think? Do mother approve? Reply to me as soon as you can. I will gladly read them up, and don't expect a quick reply from me. You know that these schedule are literally beating me up. Take care! With Cheers and Love. Your Brother. Light Sheer. Sixth Letter12th May Hello again Sister! Your letter is like... I don't know, I'm no good with metaphors. Thing is, its like a glimpse of light in the dark, it brings joy and happiness from your letters alone. That made me very happy, it was so glad to see you're okay at home. And can you create me that cake once I got home? It looks delicious! Anyway, things got heated up in here. No, not literally, base on the report from the scouts; the enemy is moving their troops, possibly aiming to take a foothold in the hill not far from my previous location. They are bringing a large army to defeat and break through our defense, seems like they were reluctant to accept defeat. Good thing is, my regiment was reinforced with a larger army led by Shining Armor himself. Yeah, you read it, General Shining Armor is gonna be leading my regiment. Isn't that cool?! I couldn't believe it at first, but to be under the banner of the General Shining Armor himself? it was a great honor to serve under him. (Yes you do know my favorite!!!) Anyway, enough with that topic. How are things looking up at home? Looking good I hope, still though, you need to warn mother about her health. Her seemingly endless work to help injured pony from the war could be dangerous, try to talk this with mother will you? I'm concerned about her. Take a good look of her, and stay safe sister. I mean it! With Joy and Concern. Your Brother. Light Sheer.
