Anypony in a major city may hear or read this. And pester Virga about it on the muck they wish. By Nightfall, it was made available in Ponyville.
From the Offices of the Canterlot Press.
On a busy day in Canterlot (who are we kidding, it is always busy), young and hopeful ponies seeking careers in journalism take to the streets to deliver the news. For those with a taste for the old fashioned, this means buying a paper from a little pony the corner who yells at the top of his lungs. If they've not time to read, they've time to listen!
"EXTRA! EXTRA! HEAR ALL ABOUT IT. NIGHT PONY IN THE SERVICE OF THE SUN!"
Cough, hack. A donut went down the wrong pipe, and a pony named TishTosh choked on a baguette! A wot? How ludicrous, absurd! Night ponies serving the Sun, indeed! Preposterous! Only ponies of the day served the Sun Princess, and not a word against.
"EXTRA! EXTRA! HEAR ALL ABOUT IT! PRINCESS CELESTIA'S SECRET GUARD, PEGASUS OF THE NIGHT, OF MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN!"
OH THE HORSANITY! Tishtosh choked on his coffee after choking on his baguette! And all the snobs turned their attention to that little pony on that little street corner.
It shall be brought to the attention of ponies everywhere in Equestria, that unfortunate pegasus whom fell from the sky on the eve of our 1,000th year at the time to the Summer Sun Celebration, one Virga de Glaciel, has been recognized a member of the Celestial Guard under the direct order of Princess Celestia! Since his unfortunate fall, the elusive pegasus has remained isolated, taking in not in social affairs we Equestrians pride. It is up to question by several major ponies in Canterlot and abroad, how an unknown pegasus with no credible history in the Royal Guard became part of the Celestial Corps. Our contact in the Royal Palace, who shall remain nameless, is a source close to de Glaciel and prefers to remain anonymous.
Professors at the Royal Academy of Magic have sought answers to what landed Virga in the Royal Palace, and have come to the conclusion, based on our contact, that magic foul, devious, and chaotic was involved. There are several cases over the course of history in which an individual, pony or not, has been confined to stone or some other entrapment, and all of them received explanations. Not once has Virga explained himself, nor have those in his company. Is it contagious, this magic? Is it dangerous? Can it destroy the Palace? Can it destroy Canterlot? We, here at the Canterlot Press, now have answer!
Beyond the frozen tundra lies the Crystal Mountains, a harsh and unforgiving place that once held magics powerful enough to either benefit mass pony kind or drive their wielders insane. The magics that caused Virga's "accident" in the Royal Palace so long ago is derived from these ancient magics and thus led to one, simple conclusion: Virga de Glaciel is no Equestrian, nor did Equestria exist as we know it upon his birth! It shall be known to all ponies who wish for transparency that Virga de Glaciel is a pegasus of the Olde, thrown for a loop. BUT WILL HE THROW US FOR A LOOP?
They say his body is always cold!
They say he manifests incredibly potent Pegasi magic!
They say, dear ponies, they say….they say….his father was a Windigo.
Will he strike fear into ponies everywhere?
How does the palace manage such a mysterious and obscure pony with no credited history?
Transparency! Transparency!
And suddenly, from some back alley, a snowball flew right into the mouth of that young, irritating pony.
