Dear Princess Celestia

What do you mean?
I would never joke about this! I may not be the most knowledgeable when it comes to jokes, you can ask Discord if you don't believe me. But I would never make a joke about something this serious
And if this doesn't sound familiar to you, indicates that this affliction is indeed new, or might not be something you have personally handled during your thousand years of life, or just rule over Equestria

I was able to gather some of the make up that Spike had been keeping in the bathroom, I was forced to dig them out of the trash but I was more than willing to make that kind of sacrifice if it meant proving my claims to be true, I've even included a few pictures of Spike to show the effects I've noticed from Dragons.
I've even begun noticing some new and deeply concerning symptoms from Spike while keeping him contained in the basement, I'll document them here so you can get an understanding on what I've discovered;

  1. Vocal mimicry(Spike has begun near perfectly replicating my own voice, he's getting better at it)
  2. Contagion immunity(I learned it by accident after discovering one of my potions was leaking and Spike remained unharmed despite the potion being near fatal to ponies and critters)
  3. Increased aggression
  4. Unnatural hunger
  5. Blackened eyes
  6. Discoloured scales around claws and fingers
  7. Strange growths on back near shoulder blades(I'm beginning to wonder whether they're some kind of wing growths?)
  8. Hunger for meat(Spike refuses to consume anything aside from meat, and he's been eating pretty frequently)
  9. Hyper acute senses(Spike seems to detect the tiniest sounds from far away, he managed to hear a page being moved by the breeze from my bedroom!)
  10. Disconcerting lack of blinking(He can go almost two whole hours without blinking, and he's always staring at me, Applejack came to the library an hour ago and Spike didn't pay her any mind, maybe it's caused by some kind of bonding?)

I am still trying my best to figure this out, hopefully the contents of this letter, along with the photographs I've attached are enough to sincerely prove I am not making any of this up.

-Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle

"Alright, these should be perfect in proving everything that's been going on." Twilight spoke with an unusual level of confidence, she levitates four photographs off her nearby desk and places them against the scroll so she was able to connect the photos with the paper, she then shoots a beam of amethyst light onto the scroll to mimic Celestia's usual spell which reduced the letter into a violet coloured wisp which disappeared from view as it flew itself out from her sight. Twilight let out a tired sigh as she glanced towards the silent Spike who was staring at her with his almost pitch black eyes, she let out an annoyed groan at Spike's continued silence along with his continued staring so she unfurled her wings and trots out from the room to clear her head in the peaceful emptiness of the nearby bathroom despite Spike remaining stone faced as he stared at the wall separating the two of them.
