[Hey there, fillies and colts! Its Celestia again, this time, back in her bedroom. Her scroll is positioned so those who see this and respond can tell she is hard at work. And also see her room, which is just as bright and golden as ever. Even the mirrors seem to glint gold on the edges at least from the scroll angle.
Anyhow, she isn't calling to make you all jealous of her kick-flank room. The old symbology book is on her desk.]
Well, it appears I've figured out what the symbol is. I almost feel rather silly not remembering it, but the last I saw it was a long time ago.
[At this, she holds up a picture she drew herself.]
This is a symbol of a legendary alicorn in the old Unicorn Kingdom, who was said to be friend to all living creatures, especially children and the downtrodden. The very first alicorn at the beginning of time, in fact, and also said to be the last alicorn at the end of time. She was supposedly a beautiful, all white filly with long, dark, shiny hair. We called her the Pale Pony. That's what the P is for. Its her banner.
[Paper down.]
Back when I was a filly, when there was a sick pony in a household, the family would carve one of these symbols and affix it to their house. This was the means of communicating to the Pale Pony that she was to bring a pony to one of her domains. She'd come up with a sled made of sparkling gems and adorned with her banner, I was told, and would shoot across the sky to her kingdom. Then, she'd place ponies to where they were supposed to go. Good ponies went to Sunnyside, where children were given candy and adults didn't have to work. Bad ponies would go to Downpour, where it always rained and made everything soggy. That's what the arrows symbolize.
[A pause. A small, sad smile flashes across her face, before it disappears.]
Of course, I wanted to go there, not realizing the deeper implications. But only because of the candy. I had such a sweet tooth as a child!
[What do you mean "had"-]
Ah! That being said, my ponies, what have you found? And...well, have any of you gone into the basement? As I've said, it can be quite dangerous, so please, if you decide to take such a risk, make sure you're prepared. I will be disappointed if I found any of you disappeared because you fed the zombies pudding on accident!

No, your Majesty, I'm fine!
[It's as if, for a moment, remembering the pudding catastrophe had caused her to forget who she was speaking to.]
We also met another....pony down there who seemed to be taking messages for Star Swirl! Or had been. He gave me a package. ...Apparently, he said I looked like the pale ponies who'd been working for Star Swirl or whoever had been calling themselves Star Swirl now.
[And now knowing what the "Pale Pony" could represent, if that's what he'd been mistaking her for or the others were supposed to be looking like...that bothered her. Bothered her and made her want to laugh at the same time.]

[And her eyes widened in shock. Seriously. Nopony has going to see her this shocked before, and likely nopony would again. In fact, she pales herself, and looks about ready to stagger back.]
That's...Star Swirl? Are you sure...they said Star Swirl?
no subject
She stammers a little as she replies.]
I'm sure! Yes you're majesty I'm very sure! He - the other pony, or once-pony - he said that he had been taking care of Star Swirl in his old age! He's been his nurse you know and now he - now he's down there!
no subject
But the shock is certainly still there.]
Thank you, Surprise. I appreciate you telling me of what and who you encountered. I do remember the poor boy well. I do hope he's well in that place, at least.
Was...was there anything else that happened with him?
no subject
He asked...you know, he asked if someone could bring him this cake. So I was wondering it....if I could have permission to bring it to h. Your majesty.

[It's casual. For once, it seems like Surprise might genuinely just speak with Celestia.
And then she remembers she's speaking before a Princess yet again and cringes a minute at her own behavior.]
Uh. Your Majesty? He did...uh...give me a package. I haven't opened it yet but do you want me to give it to you, or...
no subject
Yes, I would like to see it. Perhaps it will have something of importance in it.
no subject
Um. Should I bring it to Canterlot, or will you bring someone to get it or-
[Stop being an idiot. Of course she should be the one to bring it to her. There's no point to try the Princess patience with this nonsense.]
I mean I'll be there your Majesty! I'll be there soon! Just...gimme a couple hours and I'll have it right to you!

Ah, Princess? Can I...
..Um. Never mind.
