Prince Sugar Hoof of Equestria

Fairies fluttered throughout the post office of Baleen as Bulkul the fish man entered through the front door aggressively, He glared at the fairies as they went about sorting and preparing to deliver mail. He stomped over to the front desk, a letter in hand.

Ever since Sugar Hoof took over the desert, many new advancements had sprung up. Food and water were easier to get and cheaper than ever, medical care became more common-place, and it was free to all who would bow before Sugar's rule. Even these post offices came up, allowing for everyone all across the desert and beyond to keep in touch. With all these quality of life improvements, you'd think Bulkul would be happy.

Bulkul knew a trick when he smelled it though. The cavern now recognized as the 'Prince' Sugar Hoof's home was the same location where he and Arn had explored a while back. Arn never returned, Bulkul wasn't stupid, he knew his friend was dead, and he knew who killed him.

The head fairy of Baleen floated to meet Bulkul at the front desk and said, "Welcome to the Baleen post office, is there anything we can do to help you today?" In a cheery voice.

Bulkul snarled before remembering himself and handed his letter to the fairy. She hands it off to another fairy who flies off into the back to sort it so it can go to it's proper place.

Another of Sugar Hoof's quality of life improvements, the mail service was free. With nothing else to do here, Bulkul turned to leave.

With the post office being empty say for the fairies again, the head fairy entered the back where the real work was being done. Tunnels, tubes, and cubbies ran every which way. The mail was delivered on time everyday thanks to this series of small holes that only the spiders and fairies knew about and were small enough to use.

"Looks like the king has a dissenter, you girls saw his face." The head fairy said.

"You'd think these lower life-forms would show a bit of gratitude for everything King Sugar Hoof has done for them." Another fairy who was sorting mail said.

"You mean 'Prince Sugar', Blehg!" Another pretended to vomit.

"One day, Equestria will learn who's really in charge. Maybe those high and mighty princesses will get lucky and master will want to keep them for experimentation."

"They're not worthy to be test subjects."

"Girls! You're missing the point here! This letter the fish man wants sent, who's it for?"

A fairy began rummaging through the mail bin before she fished out the fish's letter and gently opened it as to not damage the envelope. "It's to someone named, Capper." She began to read as the other fairies crowded around her.

"He wants to meet Capper in Klugetown, says he wants to hire him for a job that will keep all them wealthy beyond their wildest dreams."

"Capper... capper, capper. I believe he's in jail for theft right now, An Abyssian with a silver tongue."

"I don't care how suave he is, if this job Bulkul wants him for has anything to do with master, I'll ring his neck myself." A fairy stated, pretending to wring Capper's neck.

"Send one of the spiders after Bulkul, and get me a reading on Capper's cell." The head fairy ordered.

A rousing "Yes, ma'am!" sounded through the room with salutes quickly following as fairies flew all around the room in a frenzy.

To nobody's knowledge, a new menace had sprung up all across the world, from Zebrica to Yakyakistan. The only signs that they were there were creatures suddenly experiencing a sense of being watched. In every building, every room, and every street, a new never-before-seen breed of spider had sprung up. It never seemed to sleep or eat, it would just sit and watch for days at a time, taking careful note of all who dared enter it's line of sight. With eyes of a hawk, and ears like a bat, they stalked the world at large.

In hiding, hundreds of fairies would sit together in secluded rooms and never speak. The only noise to be heard was the scribble of quill and parchment. With one eye covered and the other looking into a mirror, the fairies watched through the spider's eyes and made notes of what they saw. What animals were there, what people were there, what did they look like, where do they work, where do they live, what are their hopes, what are their dreams, everything and anything the fairies could find about anyone or anything that they saw.

Sarah, the leader of all fairies under Sugar Hoof watched in pride as her girls worked diligently to fulfill their master's orders. They were bid to run postal services, and run a spy network. With these advancements in intelligence, if anyone tried to threaten their master or his interests, the fairies would know about it before they even tried.

The head fairy of the Baleen post office watched as a fairy approached her with a mirror, "Ma'am, we've got the spider in Capper's cell on the mirror."

"Good work, let's see what threat this silver tongued cat is to the master." The head fairy proclaimed smugly as she peered into the mirror.

The mirror revealed a dark room somewhere underground, you could just barely see the brown fur of the only occupant with the low lighting. Roots and vines held down every limb from his toes to his fingers against the wall as he looked forward vacantly. Despite his head being free, he did not struggle, instead, he remained still. If the head fairy looked close enough, she could see a green pillow around Capper's neck. The cat's eyes were a dull lime green, but all in all, he seemed pleased to be there. The head fairy looked away from the mirror.

"Just as I suspected, he'll be no threat to the master, and I doubt he'll be one when he is let go either." The head fairy smiled as the door to the post office opened, "Alright girls, back to work!" She screamed and left for the front of the post office again.
