'This message is addressed to one, Austere Muse.'

It has certainly been a while since one of your kind has trotted across these lands. But our princesses trust you then I shall be plain in this scroll. We have been receiving disturbing reports of magical anomalies in the Ponyville area.

I trust I do not need to spell it out as to what your duty to the ponies of the town are. Princess Celestia worries that these anomalies have recently been appearing with the return of Princess Luna and her recent freedom from the one known as Nightmare Moon.

Your mission is to take your fellow guards and resolve the issue if it is well within your means. and from one stallion to another, you must not get Lady Twilight Sparkle involved or I will personally make you sterile if she gets hurt.

Sincerely, Captain of the royal guard.
Shining Armor

Author's Note

Sorry for the long hiatus, lots of health concerns and family matters came up. I hope a simple teaser can hold you lot off until the next week. I have a lot written up and its all just a matter of sorting it all out.
