Dear Princess Celestia,

Never in all my years, would I ever think that I'd have met somepony from a different land outside of Equestria, or even this realm. What I'm about to tell you, is going to sound bizarre. Maybe even even unbelievable or made up. I'm having trouble coming to terms myself and I witnessed it first hoof. Something not of this world came to us and...well. Maybe it's best that I start from the beginning.

Today started off as any normal day. The sun was shinning, birds where chirping, and we gearing up for a big storm the weather pegasus where putting together for this evening. I was eager to dive right into those books you sent me a few days back. (Thanks again by the way.) When a knock came from my door. Not wanting to be rude, I answered it.

Of all the ponies to expect, I never would have guessed Rainbow Dash would be at my door. Mainly because she was suppose to be helping prepare for the storm later in the day. She assured me that it was fine, that everything was under control and she wasn't needed.

I Was about to call her bluff, when she demanded that repay the favor I owe her for helping with an important task a few weeks ago. Honestly, I figured she forgot about it. Since Rainbow never brought it up again, when she asked for a favor in return.

To make a long story short, Dash wanted to recreate an training course the Wonderbolts had built. Claiming it was the 'most challenging course they ever had.' Or at least that's what the copy of 'Wings and Stunts'; that Rainbow Dash had. Claimed in there cover article.

So as you can guess, Dash wanted to build her own version. Which normally wouldn't have been possible, but the magazine was kind enough to include a rather detailed layout of the course. With an in dept chart of heights and distances of all the loops, embankment, and even of the spacing between the pillars they lip though to improve there reaction time. Making this almost a blue print of this supposed Elite course. If i didn't know better, i'd say the magazine and by extension the Wonderbolts.;were asking it's readers and fans to try and make this course themselves.

Which of course is exactly what Rainbow Dash had in mind. And was asking any pony that could swing a hammer to help. Offering the incentive and Ponyville, would be the first town (in this region) to have it's own pegasus training course outside of outside Las Pegus.

This as you can imaging, actually brought a rather large crowd. Eager to put Ponyville on the map and be known for something other then it's creepy neighboring forest, strange weather pattern, and seeming magnet for all things weird. You'd think they'd be thrilled to be known as the place that the bearers of the elements reside. But I guess a stunt course is more interesting to them; Go figure.

So with a rather large work force and other element bearers. (yeah, I guess I was the last one Rainbow Dash asked to help.) We started to gather materials and find a suitable location to build this thing. Finally deciding on a chunk of lang in Sweet Apple Acres, as AJ or her family hasn't used in some time.

However, as you can image, the trill of working on this started to wear off and we started losing volunteers in droves. Eventually leaving just us and a few others ponies not too eager to get back to what they were doing before offering to help. Which unfortunately, led to a few haphazard builds on some of the more complicated obstacles. Though Rainbows ever decreasing patients didn't help either.

After spending the morning and most of the afternoon on this thing, we managed to finish before dusk. Things would have moved faster, but the last of our Volunteers left after getting into an argument with Rarity on the functionality of some of her improvements.'

Regardless, we finished building this elaborate course and in true Rainbow Dash fashion. Proceed to go though it to show of ger 'cool moves.' And then again, and again, and again some more. Honestly, I lost count on how many times Dash went though it. But I do know she ran though it till dusk and had a smile on her face the entire time.

Unforchantly, even this began to wear off and Dash began getting increasingly frustrated on her inability to beat the time of the original courses fastest flier. ( Fleet-foot at 2 minutes even) Even though she was only off by a few seconds. Dash was determined to beat that record...at call costs. Which I grantee she probably would have, but fate had something else in mind that night.

Just as we had manged to talk Rainbow Dash into giving it a rest for the night. (only succeeding because of the upcoming storm,) Something loud, tore though our small little town and stirred up quite the commotion. Being the ever curious mare that I was, I wanted to see what caused that noise. Even managing to get the rest of the gang to tag along.

I figured we should be the first one to fine it, encase it turned out to be something dangerous...How right I was.

Fallowing the trail of the destruction left in this things wake. We ventured though a scorched Everfree forest and came out neat Fluttershy's cottage of all places. And witnessed all of her pets in a frenzy over something. Noticing that the animals were avoiding the chicken coup; with a now larger door way.

As we approached, the small building exploded and a strange creature emerged from the broken remains. As first it seemed disoriented, not familiar of where it was. However this quickly changed and this...thing began attacking us. Even with the his severe injuries. It was a formidable foe and it was thanks to his state that we survived his onslaught.

I'd hate to think the outcome of the ordeal, if he was at top form....probably not a happy one.

However, during this incursion. Something happened...something I didn't except. (Well more so then what I had already witnessed.) During a stand off, we had reached a stalemate as my and i'm assuming his more powerful attack collided and showed no signs of turning any either's favor. During this I began to see visions flood into my head. Ones of which I had no recollection of, Most seemed to be of a blue creature interacting with others like him. All appearing to be some sort of woodlin creature; except they all stood on two legs and had hands with apposable thumbs.

These images didn't show of a violent beast, but of a hero or savior. Which let me to believe that this creature...this monster that was attacking us. Was actually the same one from the visons I saw and wasn't in full control of itself.

So after stopping this already weathered and battered creatures. I figured he should at be able to explain himself. Before we turn him over to the local guards. This as you can image, this didn't sit well with everypony. Most were against showing compassion towards the very thing that attacked them. With one particular mare suggesting that we just leave him in the rain.

However, despite the obvious uneasiness the goup had, regarding my idea. We managed to carry him to Fluttershy's cottage and had her tend his wounds. While we attempt to clean up this disaster he caused.

Now I stand over this unconscious creature, ever curious and somewhat puzzled on how something that looks so innocent can be so twisted. Or if he's friend or foe and wonder why he was carrying this strange glowing rocks.

Ever cautions, I shall keep you informed of the situation as more information is reviled. I may need you aid in this, if he proves to be something out of our control.

Your Faithful Student,

Twilight Sparkle
