To any and all who may be reading this,

Hail, if ill met. When I call us ill met, please understand that I mean no Cruelty, for you are by all accounts fine people steeped in those virtues my homeland most highly prizes; chief among them a Generosity and Kindness I have experienced few times before in my life.

But Honesty bids me say we are ill met. For we have only met under queer circumstances, and dire ones. I have been forcibly transformed, and diverted from a quest of the greatest consequence to the Caelestial Kingdoms that I am honored to call home, and I fear that every second that I am delayed is another second of a long night that my people could not long endure.

If the powers that be are the cause of my dislocation, then I beseech them to return me, in the name of Kindness and by the Dawn and Dusk. If instead they are as perplexed as I am, then I gladly offer my services to find the cause, to make things right, to defend this realm as I would my own, and to be swiftly on my way. I am versed in knowledge of the elements, both the spiritual and their physical reflections, and can call on them at will; and I know much regarding the many planes of existence, and of gates between them.

In all Honesty and by Mae'ghan's horn.

Lucia Bolido

P.S.: This scroll is a marvelous work of artifice. I thank you for such a fine gift.

[What this Twilight may not know is that it lead to a corruptive amulet turning her evil. Trixie also fears that it may lead to her having to work on a rock farm again. She does NOT want to work on a rock farm again.]

The greater the imagination and creativity, the greater the awe, the greater the audience, the greater the fame.

'Tis just a simple feature on this scroll.

[She tells this Twilight how to activate the private setting.]

I would have had much less of a problem if the line between the tales you told and the 'histores' you 'recounted' were thicker, Trixie.

...It is nice to see that magic on this world is as potent a force as it is on mine. I am not without defenses were this not so, but still.

Trixie tells the stories she does in order to entertain her audience. 'Tis no fault of hers if they go against every law of common sense and endanger an entire town by bringing in a gigantic rampaging baby Ursa Minor!

Edited 2013-12-02 22:35 (UTC)

...the Minors are the babies, that's redundant.

Oh, Tirac in Tartarus, my head hurts. I would offer you truce. Sun and Moon but I've no time to nicker with you.

...Bicker. Bicker is the word I meant to say. Appolyta preserve and protect.

Trixie remembers us already held within a truce after our last encounter amongst the two of us.

[Since, you know, she doesn't want to go enslaving any more people.]

[Facehoof: Apply directly to the forehead. Facehoof. Apply directly to the forehead. Facehoof... She isn't literally making the face in the icon, but Mae'ghans horn she's twitching.]

Trixie, she who calls herself Thrice-Great - or perhaps another title here - I am a REFLECTION of who you think you know.

If you would Generously grant me the Kindness of pretending our argument didn't happen, can we start again from the first?

My name is Lucia. Hail, taleweaver.

[Well... you asked for it.]

The very mare you cast your gaze on is the most powerful, most dazzling, most enticing equine to grace the land of Equestria with her presence! She has defeated hoards of Manticore, flattened armies of dragons, felled hoards of Timber Wolves, and has even bested The Dreaded Ursa Major itself! She's...

The Grrrreat and Powerful Trrrrixie!

[She rears up in a theatrical pose. Fireworks shoot up from behind her, exploding in many dazzling colors.

Feel free to facehoof again.]

[Twitch. Twitch.]

...And I, in turn, shall sell you the keys to the Moongate Tower for a mere thousand solarii.

Her wings and horn, thou'rt a boastful one in any world.

[Trixie raises an eyebrow. That was not the reaction she was expecting.]

Trixie has never heard of any such tower.

[She points a challenging hoof at Lucia.]

She demands you to inform her of it's status.

In peril. I would not know her name in this world, but should it fall to the Witch of Night Aeternal life on my world would fall with it. So you'll forgive me if my patience wanes.

"Aeternal Night"?

[Trixie can quickly piece together what Lucia means, and lets loose a haughty giggle.]

Nightmare Moon hath already been defeated twicefold in our Equestria!

[PRETEND SHOCKED GASP]

Fireflies and surprises, you did not claim to be responsible!

[yeah you totally deserved that trix. If she's taking this calmly, it's because she knew that ~~Totally Not Nightmare Moon~~ Dianoxia was vulnerable. Just not at all weak.]

That is good to know. A word of advice - if it should happen again, unmake her crown. Just. Trust me on this.

[Trixie would try and rebut not taking claim, but she knew that a large group of ponies had went to The Everfree to defeat Nightmare Moon and saying otherwise would be stupid to do. Instead, she'll only be vague about it.]

Perhaps Trixie needn't to.

[With that, Trixie raises an eyebrow.]

Unmake her crown? 'Twould be a weak spot or a metaphor?

Perhaps she did not.

If this world has defeated her, then you know that... I would call her Diana... was never the Witch. Correct?

[Okay, that one is hard to put to a pony equivalent.]

Unfortunately, Trixie knows of no Diana. Your names are confounding.

Hmn. She was once the moon-avatar, the Lady of Night. Some still revere her as such, and call me ally.

[OOC: Luce is from a fanwork I've been doing for a while, and I do have a list of all the characters up on her journal. Yes trix is the annoying recurring midboss don't judge me.]

Edited 2013-12-02 23:52 (UTC)

Ah! Trixie is able to divine your counterpart to the Princess of the Night: Princess Luna!

...Of course. When in doubt, think of the literal translation. Gods.

In my world at least, that crown is the Witch, not the goddess. It was powerless unless someone chose to take it up, but that single mistake should never have defined her. No single mistake should.

[She grows very quiet and solemn.]

We say that the greatest crime of the witch was that it took Diana, and that is why good people see evil and call it darkness.

Ah, so you speak of The Nightmare that bore itself into The Princess of the Night! Not many would be able to define your meaning like Trixie is able to!

[With Lucia growing grim, Trixie follows suit.]

...There are many things that are evil, that twist the mind, that should never exist here in this Equestria.

["You sound like you speak from experience" dies in her throat. No. That is too much to say. No wonder this one blusters.]

I think we understand each other, in some small way.

[She sighs, and doffs her hat.]

Oft it is called the Nightmare in my own realm as well. It gladdens my heart to hear that this Luna is free of it's influence... well. It's direct influence. The memory of such a thing is evil as well.

[Trixie DOES speak from experience. She still occasionally has nightmares of that Alicorn Amulet.]

'Tis a good thing she escaped it's influence as much as both of them have, both native and outsider.

And good to know that such an escape is possible.

"Reflection" is the word I use. The reason why is... difficult to explain. [She doesn't know if it's a state secret here or not, but ~~that effing mirror from EQG~~ the Gate of Reflected Worlds is not spoken of lightly.]

I am sorry to have gotten off on the wrong hoof with you. ...hoof would be the word, would it not? Patricia Trismegustos has... not yet gained your years back home. ["Or your sense."]

[Hey, even though she has a gigantic ego and is excessively hammy, she's still a very logical person.]

Trixie deems your use of the word "hoof" to be most correct, my enthusiastic admirer! 'Tis a pleasure for you to join in on being within residence of Trixie's dazzled audience!
