Author's Note

The topic of Her Highness being questioned on a translation of Æternal does on occasion arise, among those first learning of the relatively obscure topic yet not knowledgeable enough to be aware of its full history. Princess Celestia has in truth already been involved in previous attempts at understanding the language, when her schedule allowed. She has however not been able to provide any meaningful help beyond assisting in research. Though our monarch is ageless, it should not be believed that her knowledge is boundless, vast as it regardless certainly is.
