Dear Princess Celestia

"Sister! Please! I'm telling you, they're in danger!" Celestia pleaded towards Luna who seemed uninterested with her sister's begging, Luna just sighed softly and shoots Celestia an icy glare for interrupting her when she was attempting to utilize her dream walking to fulfil her duties. "Celestia, neither of us have sensed anything changing in Equestria, and we both know that Discord would be returning if something was happening. So calm yourself, I'm sure Twilight has just discovered some sickness that's begun spreading through Ponyville, now please. Move out of my way so I can finish my duties for the night." Luna replied coldly, Celestia could do nothing but step away from Luna who lays down onto her legs and shut her eyes, Luna took a single deep breath as her horn was shrouded with a dazzling white aura of dream magic that sparkled with similar colours particles. "Luna, please..." Celestia whispered to the midnight blue tinted alicorn princess, Luna however kept her eyes closed until her eyelids began to squint from concern followed by the magical aura around her horn to cease suddenly.

"What..." Luna whispered then she gasped as her eyes shot open from a sudden wave of unspoken fear, Celestia was startled by Luna's unusual level of terror at some unseen horror that had given Luna such an undeniable and unexplainable level of true horrified fear. "I...I couldn't see the dreams of many Ponyville inhabitants. It is like their minds, were lost to my divine power. I cannot understand. No dream can hide from me." Luna questioned with her eyes darting around her royal chambers from confused fear, Celestia rushed to her sister and leans down to press her head against the head of her sister. "I told you something was wrong. Twilight informed me of bizarre occurrences happening in Ponyville, this isn't any normal infection or sickness, little sister, this is something new. Something truly malevolent. Something possibly older than us." Celestia responded with her naturally magenta eyes glistening with worried sadness for the safety of her ponies, Luna couldn't deny the mere possibility that something older than even the two of them existing in Equestria brought her immense levels of primal terror.

"Something older than us, older sister?..." Luna whispered in fear as Celestia briefly nodded in response to Luna's frightful question, both siblings were left in stunned silence at the mere possibility of something older and potentially more dangerous than anything that they had ever dealt with before. "Do not worry, I'm sure we can fix this. Perhaps the Elements can restore this?" Celestia mumbled in curious desperation, her eyes lowered towards the ground until both sisters were attracted to the sound of hooves galloping towards the royal chamber, both sisters turned towards the main door which burst open revealing Raven Inkwell sliding herself to a stop. "Your royal highnesses! I have immediate news that both of you must be informed of at once!" Raven gasped out as she skidded to a slow but steady halt infront of both princesses, Raven was panting from her brisk approach that had forced her to run from the throne room itself straight up to Luna's royal chambers.

"Of course, thou must wield knowledge of great importance! Speak and inform of thy untold revelation!" Luna blurted out in a desperate attempt to retain her socially accepted Olde Equestrian pronunciation, Raven Inkwell herself was left nodding in response as she cleared her throat to try and retain her lost energy. "Of course, of course. Um, I was in the royal throne room, I was signing off on some guard related documents until I was informed by one of the royal guards that the Canterlot hospital has begun expressing concern about an unnatural sickness that they've begun noticing within newly admitted ponies for the past three days!" Raven replied in desperation, the revelation left Luna and Celestia stunned since Celestia recalled obtaining Twilight's first scroll mentioning the unusual sickness just under four days ago, Celestia glanced to the side as she processed the discovery. "Twilight informed me that Ponyville had only started experiencing the sickness three days ago...It couldn't have spread from Ponyville to Canterlot so quickly...We haven't had anypony from Ponyville arriving in Canterlot for days, not since Rarity arrived to suggest her newest royal fashion line to us" Celestia said with an emotionally distant resolve as she began pondering the impossibility of the situation, her eyes narrowed as she felt her regal concern finally beginning to return as her fear burned away like the sun shone down upon her spirit.

"Raven! Canterlot is in incredible danger! Go and inform the nurse ponies that anypony displaying symptoms of this sickness must be quarantined until further notice. I will send them a royal scroll dictating the symptoms I have become aware of. My sister and I must inform the Canterlot ponies of the new quarantine guidelines that everypony must follow. That includes the royal guard and yourself. We cannot risk this sickness spreading." Celestia commanded with her royal Canterlot voice emerging for a few moments, Raven felt her body shaking from the royal power being commanded upon her but stood firm and nodded with confidence and understanding. "Yes your highness. I will not fail you, your majesty." Raven replied with her voice sounding firm despite her hooves still shaking from the adrenaline coursing throughout her body, Raven turns on her hooves and gallops back out from the royal chamber leaving Celestia and Luna alone in cold silence. "Sister, are you sure we can prevent a spread? Do you think anything can stop a spread?..." Luna asked with worry emanating from her voice with each word that bled from her mouth, Celestia merely smiled with a sisterly compassion that made Luna wrap her forehooves around Celestia's neck to hug her sister close to her own chest. "It will be okay, I promise you that, little sister" Celestia promised with her own eyes closing so she could hold Luna close, Celestia felt her sisters weight pressed down against her own until they both separated and turned towards the balcony of the royal chamber.
