"Dear Princess Celestia, – By now the news of our defeat has reached Equestria. – The Ponies we were sent here to tame are un-tamable. – and the villages we were sent to reclaim have proven to be stronger than we anticipated. – Whatever you may hear about what has happened out here, know this; – Spike did not die gloriously in battle. – I killed him. My pride killed him. – And now my pride has consumed me as well. – You will never see me again Princess Celestia. – Tell my friends that i love them – and that their friend died in defense of their future. – Your faithful student -Twilight Sparkle."
